experience with nature and
surely we have all met
at some point with a spider
true and surely that the impression
that gives us all is a little bit of
pressure of fear and insecurity and we
does it make a there is a spider right
the spiders are not the most
graceful are not so nice without
However, they fulfill a lot of roles in
nature and are one of the examples
what I want to put of these living beings
with whom we share this planet
and that they are so important and that
we have to learn to revalue the
example the spiders
even though we do not like them that much
control mosquitoes
some of those transmit report
diseases important to beings
humans also spiders do that
our crops where we produce
our food
most of the food that
they leave the earth they also depend on
the spiders for there to be control
natural and less dependent on
agrochemicals that are used today
when we see for example a
culture so go on the side
and below and above we find
spider webs
we are sure of here that there
there was little use of agrochemicals the
agrochemicals are harmful to health
not only kill fungus insects or
bacteria are also harmful to
our health
how much do we know about all this how much
We know from the earth how many we have
had the opportunity to share moments
to experience the nature of learning
of her because nature does not speak
the earth is 4 billion years old
we as human beings are
here
for only 10 thousand years and
we do agriculture in the past
five thousand years
if we could draw a
line around the entire perimeter
of this room of all that period in
which man is doing
farming
only in the last millimeter
we would find that part of the
agriculture made by humans
based on agrochemicals from
synthesis on the basis of transforming
genetically the seeds based on
degrade natural ecosystems
one after another to lose forests to lose
natural grasslands
we are on a biome that we call
the pampa biome grassland language
we develop a productive system in
these two hundred three hundred years that
we are that we have colonized these
land
based on that natural ecosystem that is
the pampa ecosystem know that the
size of a soccer field is
lose every minute every day every year
of our existence of a system
natural or that the degradation of
natural ecosystems while I’m not
speaking they are making use is this way the
reality the reality is also that that
that way of producing that form that
we have developed in the last
millimeter of our history is
generating problems and we are living
in times of crisis environmental crisis
caused by the trash crisis that
generated by the decertification crisis
by the amount of weather events
that almost every day is news and
that are somehow causing
Adverse situations for beings
humans
change in him
lima the global warming that does not
it only brings problems for the
food production
I’m ashamed to say it because just
where doctors here but also brings
changes for human health
we are even talking about the presence
of diseases caused by
tropicalization of these environments and the
drop of diseases that were not
more out there and the loss of
the natural enemies that control
those vectors was this a little bit what
15 years ago, he inspired us
group of people to found what they
We call the Uruguay River an institute
which is 13 kilometers from the city
of tacuarembó by route 31 that what
We wanted to make a space for
permanent education experiencing the
nature
what we wanted was that no classrooms
were a room a talk that were
the fields the mountains the bathed that
there you will find the information that
we have available through the
nature in that place
we try to make a design
conserve a lot of natural environments
we exclude areas of native forest area of
bathed areas
We generate organic gardens to avoid
the contaminations we generate also
minimal space doors so that
were alternatives for production
of food in the house of each of
you no matter the size of
space that they have because that’s one
also a way to decrease the
aggression to new ecosystems that
still natural
we generate thermal houses and or
avoid the use of pool and iron
etc
we generate ovens ecological furnaces and
They are very high efficiency in consumption
of the firewood that they spend 100 times
– in the use of firewood and yet
pollute less like they can know
our food we also did
artificial wetlands to clean up everything
the water of the institute and that each one
when you go there have ecological toilets
and I ‘m not thinking about there and the waters and
I received the waste generated at
where are they going calmly without generating
pollution is in the environment
also as we are in a zone of
traditional livestock production
we generate production systems for
that are in sight and to learn from
rotating production of animals
trying to have the focus on the
conservation of those over 400
species of natural grasses that
are part of our ecosystem of
grass that when we look at a bit of
grass
it seems that it is grass no more and without
However, it harbors a life
very interesting not only species
vegetables but also animals of
microfauna of birds that nest in the
pastures and that was our idea to give the
opportunity to access that all the
world could if I wanted to check
that accessing experiences with the
nature will change our attitude
in front of her they passed by there
people of all ages are
happening because we are alive not people
of all ages from children
teenage students students thesis
universities of uruguay of different
parts of the world come professionals
come doctor come teachers and in this
experience and in this one is in progress
everyone gets excited we get excited
he raised his hand also for the
number of colors of sounds that
farm generated flavors and I have
many stories to make them this
girl for example Italian came with her
dads make an experience
in the video an internship and I was
excited with the taste of the captain and
of the native breed and fruits
our who realize that it is the
few things that are still genuine
without genetic manipulations with the
same nutritional properties and makes
4,000 years when the populations of
Catalans went through there surely
they will have eaten a pichanga I imagine
no fruits from our native trees
of our native flora the mother and the
I called come eat the apple not want
stain said I do not know how to speak
Italian but it does not matter excuse me but
I did not want to try pitanga and
eat fat and the native fruits that
we have installed in the bio as a way of
make known because the Uruguayans and the
tacuaremboenses also in spite of
if we look out
we are surrounded by little mountain
we know about our native flora
we do not put flowers of our flora
native our garden we do not eat
our fruits we do not know them or because
example everything that native flora
houses those fruits that the girl
they liked both are the basis of the
feeding for example of the achara
that if they go to the bío the one that has good
cameras please ensure
because they are going to enjoy the songs and
of the colors of birds like that
or as the churrinche or many more
we have been excited when producers
from different parts of the country like
jorge that a horticultural producer of
South discovered visiting those who
could transform your productive system
and be based on the health of the soil as
way to have healthy food
he together with a group of producers
has a cooperative where he sells in a
important supermarket and he shows
proudly look at the ground what it is
the smell and the color they have if
they could see each one close they ‘re going to
wonder forgiveness for the dirt is not
dirt is earth
gone you could marvel at the
number of living beings that live in a
handful of land and here is the
base the basis that we have to
achieve maintain to produce food
and to supply our needs
common and current that we have as
living beings and as human beings
we have also been excited when
livestock producers producers of
our lands that they have found in
the pathogenic fungi are about
tiny microscopic living
in the organic matter of that soil
live can be an alternative for
control and to keep the
Pest populations such as ticks
an important pest of our
livestock and there a window opens
Awesome
notice that you can continue producing
quality meat and keeping our
ecosystem and knowing what our
biodiversity and how many things how many
solutions we can find in that
Natural environment is very important in
these fifteen years we have seen it
seen me but the companions and the
family that has accompanied me in this
process like all people though
have different professions
devote to different things have
different ages are capable
after evidencing with nature
to spend a few days a few hours or what
be in a natural environment are capable of
change attitude to think much more
I’m eating where this is coming from
food
the production system is behind
this food that I’m eating and how much
It’s good for my body to that of my
children
good is already in the grandchildren stage
so that my grandchildren also then the
idea is a bit try to reconnect with
the
nature try to have to go back to
she has experiential experiences
we can all have these experiences
with nature
I do not know it’s not about what you
dedicate to the profession that you have
because look out there
look at the classrooms of the sun and they are in
everywhere and we can all
commit to have that experience
take the little ones by the hand
so they can also live it because
we are in the age of technology and the
internet seems to give all the
answers but this answer be left
impress by nature and of
recognize in it a source of
knowledge
It is only achieved by being next to the
nature and we need commitment
of all to continue to maintain these
rollitos these rivers of clear water of
clean water that we need
to take we are the ones who
We need nature nature
the land is for four
millions and a half of years and it has
adapted many changes
it’s us that even in that we have
to learn from her to adapt and see
how do we do to reinvent I think
ways of life ways of producing
food ways of making our house
way to produce our clothes
then to finish just say
the one
tell them to invite them all
feel like going to those classrooms of the sun
we have and we the
tacuaremboenses go we have classrooms
of the precious sun only going out to
few blocks from the city and to
finish I want to invite you to extend
this spider in a natural environment I can
start here because you already know
look for your own place of life
if we all respect it and if all
we know that all living beings are
very important
[Applause]
