Why are some farms weathering the fertiliser crisis better than others?

Because they don’t rely on it.

Regenerative & agroecological farming shows how to build resilience free of fossil fuels.

Why some European farmers are immune to the fertiliser crisis

The Iran war has sent fertiliser prices soaring – but these farmers aren’t fazed.

Going beyond planting means to understand the cycle that connects the soil, food, and life.

In an urban context, these moments foster a conscious bond with the rhythm of nature and the origin of our food.

In the garden, we unearth essential knowledge and strengthen the relation to the local area, promoting awareness, participation, and a sense of belonging.

More than just a practice, it is a way of thinking about food as an integral part of life, health, and culture.🌱

"Somos una parte del ecosistema, puedes mejorar la salud de ese sistema para hacerlo menos vulnerable, pero no puedes deshacerte de los virus, siempre estarán ahí... ¡mira cómo criamos a los animales [en sistemas industriales] empaquetados esperando el próximo virus!"

“We are a part of the ecosystem, you can improve the health of that system to make it less vulnerable, but you can’t just get rid of viruses, they will always be there… look at how we raise animals [in industrial systems] packed up waiting for the next virus!”

"Espero que esto sea un incentivo para darse cuenta a nivel estatal, que esto se acabó, no puede seguir, aprovechemos este lío para reorganizarnos porque toda la base está podrida... No creo que deba ser todo global o todo local, pero se necesita espacio para todo"

“I hope this is an incentive to realise at the state level, that it’s over, it cannot go on, let’s use this mess to reorganise because the whole base is rotten… I don’t think it should be all global or all local, but you need space for everything”

"Este trabajo me ha conectado con la tierra, ahora sé lo que está disponible localmente, de dónde vienen los alimentos, eso es lo que quiero traer a la gente... eso es lo que ha sido un regalo con esta crisis".

“This work has connected me to the land, I now know what is available locally, where food comes from, that’s what I want to bring to people… that is what has been a gift with this crisis.”

"Los clientes no iban a 'hamsterer', sabían que cada semana recibirían su caja de verduras, eso es soberanía alimentaria". Contar con productores locales que "cultivan alimentos para los seres humanos" apoya las necesidades de los habitantes locales, así como la necesidad de aquellos productores que "todavía tenían clientes mientras los productores de patatas están tirando a la calle" durante la crisis.

“Customers did not go hamsterer, they knew every week they would get their veggie box, that’s food sovereignty”. Having local producers who “grow food for humans” support the needs of local inhabitants, as well as the need to those producers who “still had customers whilst potato farmers are dumping on the street” during the crisis.
