Terra promessa | Fernando Tizzi | TEDxManciano

as a boy I lived what it was

traditions lused the ways to cultivate

the land of growing animals and of

faults of how to transform ours

products

then in the sixties came 70 is

came this great change of

evolution of more modern things e

more was the use of the

antiparasitic anticryptogamic chemistry

and the use of powerful machines what

it means that’s what I’ve known

that in the ages

when the earth was young, it is possible

to say that she was caressed by

from the farmer was worked had

a small depth so that

the use of what the animals with

the excrement left in the ground

then it was fertilizer and makes the earth

fertile to produce then cereals and

other products

our territory had a technique

almost homogeneous processing

all farmers did more o

less the same things

there was a proverb that says go home

as much as you’re vineyard for as much as baby and

earth for what you see in a way you wanted

say that land management does not

was so jolted as today not today

unfortunately we decide to put the vineyard

it takes hundreds of hectares

then after ten years the vineyard no longer goes

well it puts hazelnuts in the hundreds

letteri and tomorrow will not ones you

will remember the roots of the

territory the system of how to use

this territory because I think the

value is to use what the

territory is like a man a teacher

goes to school

the worker the engineer disdains the house

the earth to its limits and therefore not

never cross the limits of the earth

the teaching he had as a young man is that

man in the earth lived in symbiosis

one could say it was part of his

be the earth then the la la

he cultivated carefully

I remember when it was sown

a field was made furrows that

they would have accompanied from the water to the

ditch there was care of the ditch there was care

animals

they are periods where they could be

free in the fields and where they needed to be

in the shelters the great one and I call it

called the queen of animals in

Maremma was the pergola because then

the sheep was the one he brought

people in this area of Maremma

everyone was coming to the end of the sixties

from transhumant heirs that came

from the Apennines therefore the culture of the

pastoralism is inside our DNA yes

it can be said and the culture of pastoralism

it was the one he had given to that one

great culture of agriculture because

respect for animals then he wanted to say

also respect for the territory by now

it was the fascinating thing it fascinated

I have then met this one

period in which the technicians there

they advised that to give fertilizers

chemicals

I remember once there was one

he said, seeing if you were from the ground

take 30 quintals of wheat 30 quintals

of wheat inside the cable that is the iron

in short, all those substances that the

grain has taken away from the earth to make

this product that remits us cimetti

fertilizers and the following year shoots of 30

quintals of wheat and instead it is not so

we realized that until the grain

it was the fruit of the earth is the fruit of that

passage of the animals that I him

defined the processing waste of the

animals that product that you pignata la

earth was healthy it was genuine

then instead say continuously fertilizers

chemical pesticide herbicides il

ground as to say if poisoned and then

he sells it to me in some way

always said that nature

if the offender takes revenge is not that the

nature takes revenge, we are there

let’s make

then claim another thing that I have

noticed is that now after 50 years it is

the seeds were first re-linking

in the sixties the seeds were seeds

always taken care of by grafts

without having suffered bombing of

therefore processing those foods

we our body had with

see forever assimilated in centuries

they did not create allergies

with these tools especially that for

give him more and more so they had me

lowered I hope they are more

so you could have more fertilizer than

they were not then attracted to the market

these products have given problems

because today we hear so many people

intolerant vii ac intolerant to

gluten enter data to flour because

those I do not know natural because that is

chemistry made her like saying in a certain

sense almost harmful to the human being al

our way of absorbing these these

substances and this second me

perspective should be that of in

somehow it is used to say take a step

back

in this way perhaps they tell you a step

nor because it goes too far

get away from what that nature

and our ancestors through many

selections have given nature can not

being more natural would be a utopia

say that you live with berries or co o

with wild herbs

if we are if we have evolved

if man is wanted from the age of

Stone anything needs today

change also in the relationship with the earth

but this does not mean not respecting it

because if we with the land quotes a

friendship relationship of d

the earth will then make us

that affection we say he quotes them but if

we will be violent with the territory then

this violence is sold by the earth

but then it will take some steps

back so that it lands from shore

recognize the importance of

pastoralism on the territory that is the thing

main because the man the first

animal that has bred and that

tame the pearl so it means

that even millions of years ago already

they had conceived the value of this

animal the sheep in animal that gives the

meat, milk, cheese, but consumption

inside even after a year and giving

also from clothes the wool then to a

complex animal in the territory and then

the processing waste leaves it in the

soil and therefore to create a humus and

will know less in a certain sense the slope

of the earth’s water because if it is

earth is rich in humus and the water of the

rains and take away less report

of the farmer on the territory must

somehow come back to

be like saying can cure plants

have love for plants in the fields

Unfortunately, the i

our ancestors when they were dirty

they were right here in symbiosis with the

earth therefore had respect for the

stones of wood and plants because

now here we can not see what we are anymore

there was but I can there in every field

in every plot of land

there were trees of all qualities that

they served leaf trees that they served

for animals during periods of

drought details plants makes eating

the leaf to the animal then there were trees

from fruit

I can tell you that here in these

territories a hundred years ago there was fruit

365 days a year without refrigerators

because there were varieties of pear

grafted that started from June and

ended in November with those with

seasonal ones that lasted but

until the end of May there was fruit

so I would like to conclude by saying that it is

to progress but with great care

because if you move too far from

from our foundations from our bases

progress more carefully

that can allow us to progress

delaying progress in a time

greater so that it can be done

follow him if I document the three

quintals five quintals to know him

in one hectare of land then the one there

It starts also in the river

so there is even more pollution

of the rivers of the sea if this territory

he had a culture that was animals

or the grain in a certain way if it is loaded

too much of intensive vineyard culture

rattles or anything else then the

rain in the river will bring us what

find in the earth so I think it is

much to pay close attention to these

in short, I think I have you

said something about what I know

talk a lot more for three hours e

expand the concept of

what is our environment because

then I talk about the environment

I’m not just talking about agriculture because

when I say that if you use too many too many

insecticides then end the insects

that they looked at yesterday that they have

followed for centuries by the side of man

to give us honey the bees that is a

fruit that knows it would seem immediate but

all those other pollinators then if

if they were us it would end ours

existence therefore

the environment at all then it is not that

of the peasants and what I want

expose I want to expose myself with force

to conserve the environment

mainly because outside of

there we are

how to say all fried if the environment

gives as it is accessing because Italy

then it is a leaf with too much water landslide

everywhere

these are the consequences

of the abandonment of the hill and of the

mountain

otherwise people do not find a few

thing that solidifies him to return to the

hill and mountain in a few years

Italy will be like the dough almost

all water landslide everything we are we are at

these levels and this I know for everyone

in short, it’s okay

I thank you for your attention

come on
