we had 25% of farms and more.
Since the entry into the European Union
about a quarter of farmers
abandoned agriculture
and looked for another job or went to
retirement
and there was nobody to look after
farm.
My father,
when he took over the farm
and its adjoining 12 acres
could easily feed our family
and have the same standard of living
we have now.
I had to multiply the size of the farm by
six
to get the same result.
It makes you think.
If I tell you that a ton of wheat now costs 100 euros
and when I look at what
sanding costs,
That the salt is used
on winter road costs
it's unreal.
Today
Ie sand is more expensive
that wheat produced by a peasant.
Ll need them to know.
It should be a fair price for our products
.
Should not just say
a steak should cost only 2 euros.
Then people wonder
we have plants with 20 animals
OOO pigs.
The question is:
'' Do we want that?''
Apparently yes, because
it only gets worse.
We throw about 2 million pounds of bread per year
which is still good, has two days, and
is still edible.
It's been ten years that I do that,
and I make the same journey.
And there is always
Seniors
berlues
which are by what we do.
I live in Switzerland
in the republic of Geneva.
Switzerland is the second country
Ie world's richest
in per capita income, according to World Bank
.
This country has no natural resources
but banks
locked by bank secrecy.
It is also full capital
in transit, arson
or from tax evasion.
Switzerland
agriculture has a very effective but also very limited
that is to say,
in our bread,
415 grain
come from abroad.
Where are they now?
They come from India.
From India!
According to statistics from the O. N.U.,
India
more than 200 million people
severely malnourished
permanent.
The farmers must leave
100 / o of their land fallow,
and nothing to plant.
Sieur The European Union gives money for that.
Fallow is encouraged.
It still
sometimes plant corn.
Before, they planted some corn.
Because we need it for heating
,
we plant more now.
The corn is cut
here is only for heating.
It is only intended to burn.
It is nothing cooler
that what these men have fished
.
It is no
freshest fish.
The important thing is that the net
is only one hour, maximum two
in water.
Thus there is no pressure
into the net.
The first fish that comes
undergoes no pressure,
it is very fresh.
When the net comes aboard
all animals are alive.
another example is extreme.
The industrial vessels
in the north of France
northern Europe,
in Bremerhaven, Holland
these boats go
15, 20, sometimes 30 days at sea ,
and the net remaining in the water
for 10, 12, even 13 hours
.
You can imagine
the pressure produced in the water
everywhere in this fishing net.
I would like to show you
what a sole Breton.
That, for example,
this is an extreme case.
You can not eat it tonight.
One must keep
few days in cold,
she is too cool.
This is an extremely high quality.
Here is another example of extreme quality.
Very hard, and
course, very important!:
Gills.
Bright red in color.
No comment. Very cool.
We find that here, in
hake. Very red.
And we come to the mullet,
a noble fish,
again the same test
gills and again
a very high quality.
That I eat willingly.
I do not want the head,
merchandise is right.
The same fish caught by a boat
industrial
his body dangling like that
and has another value.
We here port of Lorient
France's second port.
Lorient is an industrial port.
Boats working here
go to sea
between 14 and 20 days
and fish at great depths.
Between 500 and 800 meters
and up to 900 meters.
Here we see a typical example
fish caught commercially.
That's a grenadier.
Fish caught at that depth
back often with eyes exploded.
This is a question of pressure.
The fish lives in such depth that,
back when the net
his eyes explode due to pressure.
This fish will be filleted,
Boneless tasteless.
Ten years ago,
we would have thrown such a fish.
Now we keep all the fish
because they still
worth something.
We arrive at this strange fish-rat
which is very ugly.
That I do not eat.
an interesting expression
among professionals.
It is said that these fish
are not made to be eaten... but sold.
unlike fish caught
craftsmen,
that it is soft.
I can not find fish
with a certain stiffness.
They are all alike.
It illustrates the difference
between industrial fishing
and fishing.
Not one that is not soft...
We are in Almeria
capital of winter vegetables.
It all started in the 60s.
The central government in Madrid
did get water here.
They told the peasants living in the mountains
:
'' down here
'' Realos to Almeria.''
The Government
took care of water
and brought agronomists.
Here, they have water, earth
and they can grow vegetables.
Since the 60
far
the number of greenhouses
has multiplied.
Ll there are now...
25 OOO acres.
More
in Holland and Belgium combined.
Here we are near a plant
aged 4 to 5 months.
Here, the substrate
This is rock wool.
It is in this small substrate,
old plants that germinated.
It is now in the same substrate
Ies that sprout new plants.
Again, there is the substrate of rockwool
and roots pass through the wool.
Nutrients and water are brought
by a gutter.
When irrigating too,
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
