and roots pass through the wool.

Nutrients and water are brought

by a gutter.

When irrigating too,

excess water flowing in there

is then directed to a central point

where water will be recycled.

We can use it again, the retreat

and re-route

in gutters.

This plant is very large.

It is 9-10 meters high.

And she looks a little wilted

comparable to that of a human.

A human 70 to 80 years no longer look as beautiful as

thirties.

We control

what goes through the gutter

ie food, water.

If we cultivate the soil

we do not know exactly.

And then the soil contains much more

of harmful germs.

This substrate is best.

It also faces new challenges.

The golden years are over.

There were 10 or 15 years

we earned a lot of money here.

But now it's harder!.

It is other countries,

like Morocco, Italy

Israel where the climate is similar

and can do the same here.

We started here because of the sunshine.

On average, there is almost

3000 hours of sunshine per year

Almeria.

In Brussels, there are only 1000.

It is, for example,

here in the region,

a village called El Ejido.

In the years 6O

its population was only 1000 inhabitants.

Now there are almost 1'OO OOO.

Here, everything has changed.

Before, it was a poor region.

Ll there was almost nothing.

But now it's going.

Here, people are not millionaires

,

but they live decently.

This is called here

Ie'' miracle'' of Almeria.

The absurdity of the situation

agrarian markets

is:

rich countries, so

the European Union, the United States...

To produce and export

subsidize their agriculture.

Last year

$ 349 billion was paid

is more than a billion a day.

The result,

this is the dumping and the destruction of the agrarian economy

in the southern hemisphere,

where there are almost as

peasants.

Let me give you an example:

the capital of the Republic of Senegal

in West Africa, Dakar is

.

The city hosts

the largest market of agrarian

West Africa.

The market Sandagar.

On the market Sandagar,

you can buy vegetables

European

European fruit, potatoes

European

third of the local price.

So, Senegalese farmers,

even working 18 hours a day

In the hot sun

no chance

to earn a living through his land.

What should he do?

If it still has the strength, he emigrated illegally

and risking his life

through the Strait of Gibraltar

exploit and occurs in the southern Spain

or as a sweeper in Paris

accepting

living conditions precarious.

In Austria, it is inconceivable

that carts

roll on a main road as

here.

It's amazing.

The increased traffic is incredible.

And there are carts everywhere.

It is the means of locomotion n01

peasants.

They do everything with their horse.
