Welcome to Episode 1593 in which host Victoria Cece interviews Riccardo Carpini of I Carpini Winery this week on The Next Generation. The Next Generation where Victoria Cece interviews young Italian wine people shaking up the wine scene. More about the winery What makes wines great is only the infinite patience of time, especially if you first worked in a natural, holistic way, conceiving and designing the vineyard as a harmonious ecosystem. This is the philosophy espoused by Paolo Carlo Ghislandi and his son Riccardo in the splendor of the Colli Tortonesi, home of Timorasso: a great white, which owes its exuberance and its ability to evolve to a noble soil of marine origin, from thermal waters. Loyalty and courage: from Ghislandi, also the first sparkling Timorasso. In the I Carpini estate, which has always been organic and now also certified Bio (not to mention the GreenCare recognition for the energy obtained from renewable sources), the vocation for great wines is based on the instinct that guides the winemaker in interpreting soils, seasons and varieties such as Barbera, which here achieves unthinkable results thanks to very long refinements. Those that then meet steel, wood and even amphora are truly special musts, as in the case of the surprising Timox. Minerality and flavor: glasses that excite, enhancing the passionate research from which they are born, to become truly unique. Connect: Website https://icarpini.it/en/ More about the host: Victoria Cece is a food and beverage storyteller whose curiosity is somewhere deep in a bowl of pasta or a bottle of wine. A fool for history, you can find her reading up about ancient grape varietals or wandering around a little Italian town eating everything in sight, under her alias Slutti Spaghetti.

In der heutigen Episode befassen wir uns mit einer Idee, die unsere Gesellschaft absolut bereichern kann: das Leben auf dem Land, gekoppelt mit sozialer Integration. Im Podcast mit carpe diem-Host Holger Potye erklärt Nicole Prop, Geschäftsführerin von Green Care Österreich, das Konzept: Man will wieder mehr Interaktion zwischen Mensch, Tier und Natur schaffen. Der Ort dafür sind Bauernhöfe, von denen in Österreich immer mehr leer stehen oder verkauft werden, weil sie – landwirtschaftlich betrachtet – nicht mehr rentabel sind. Hier kommt Green Care ins Spiel. In Skandinavien, wo es das Konzept schon lange gibt, spricht man von der „Grünen Arena Bauernhof“. Denn Bauernhöfe sind perfekte Orte, um Mensch, Tier und Natur wieder zusammenzubringen. Gerade für alte Menschen und Kinder trägt der Bauernhof mit Tieren, Pflanzen, Kräutern und viel frischer Luft zu einem gesteigerten Wohlbefinden bei. Ältere Menschen finden dort wieder eine Aufgabe und sind draußen in der Natur. Kinder können mit Tieren interagieren. Das soziale Miteinander wird gefördert, Inklusion wird gelebt, und auch Programme zur Reintegrierung von suchtkranken Menschen zeigen positive Ergebnisse. Im Idealfall spart sich der Staat viel Pflegegeld für alte Menschen – zugleich ergibt sich für die bäuerlichen Betriebe eine zusätzliche Einnahmequelle durch die alternative Nutzung des Hofes. Out-of-the-Box-Denken in Perfektion. Wie das alles idealerweise funktionieren kann, welche Auflagen und Qualitätskriterien es bei der Zertifizierung von Green Care-Betrieben gibt und wohin die Reise in Zukunft gehen könnte, erklärt Nicole Prop in diesem Podcast. Zum Finale beschäftigt sich Nicole Prop, die ursprünglich aus der Wirtschaft kommt, mit den Faktoren Wachstum und Wohlstand: „Was ist denn Wohlstand? Der Stamm der Cree versteht unter Wohlstand das Aufeinanderschauen – also darauf zu achten, dass es wieder ein Gleichgewicht zwischen Mensch, Tier und Natur gibt.“ In diesem Sinne: Viel Vergnügen beim Podcast!Show Notes: Hier geht's zum Online-Portal von Green Care (https://www.greencare-oe.at/). Dort findest du mehr Infos zu den aktuellen Projekten. Das Ländliche Fortbildungsinstitut LFI bietet Bauern und Bäuerinnen Green Care-Ausbildungen an. Die Hochschule für Agrar- und Umweltpädagogik bietet Green Care-Zertifikate für Menschen in Sozialberufen an, um die grüne Komponente vermehrt auch in Pflegeheime und Spitäler zu bringen.Übrigens: Das carpe diem-Magazin findet ihr überall, wo es Zeitschriften gibt und unter carpediem.life/abo.

Questa volta vi parliamo di un "servizio ecosistemico" di cui non vi abbiamo ancora accennato: arrampicarsi sugli alberi, che poi è un modo per toccarli, viverli, imparare a conoscerli.Quella di Mario De Angelis, il secondo "woodpunk" che abbiamo scelto di raccontarvi, è una storia di incontri, di visioni, di nuove idee, di multifunzionalità, di rivincita della montagna sul mare. Mario era addetto nell'industria aerospaziale, poi ha scelto di mollare il posto fisso, cambiare vita, tornare al bosco, fondare una cooperativa forestale. Ironia della sorte, ora il suo mestiere è far volare bambini e adulti tra gli alberi, in uno dei parchi avventura più belli e attrezzati d'Italia: Daunia Avventura, a Biccari, in Puglia.Fondamentale l'incontro con un giovanissimo sindaco con il quale scatta un'alchimia woodpunk: l'obiettivo comune è ridare vita all'entroterra, anche attraverso i boschi, fino ad allora sostanzialmente abbandonati. L'alchimia si trasforma non solo in numerosi percorsi avventura tra le fronde, ma anche in aule didattiche sospese, percorsi per mountain bike, aree adibite al tiro con l'arco e alla musica, attività di terapia forestale e case sugli alberi dove poter dormire per entrare così in totale sintonia con l'atmosfera del bosco. Una storia di persone che è anche storia di comunità, una comunità rurale che attraverso il bosco, il paesaggio, l'ospitalità e il "green care" ha scelto di scrivere una storia nuova, perché come dice Mario: "Se non si scrivono storie nuove, per questi territori non c'è futuro".Buon ascolto! Stay hungry, stay woodpunk!Ferdinando & Luigi

You can have all the money in the world, but if you don't love what you do, give back to your community and enjoy Mother Nature then what's the point? According to Shayne Newman, founder of YardApes, if you're passionate about what you do, you'll be successful, have fun, and never work a day in your life. So many times we get caught up in the day to day stress of being business owners that we forget to think about why we started in this industry. Many landscapers grew up with an inherent love of nature. Shayne says the only thing more rewarding than this is getting involved in community service projects. Experienced in the trade since 1987, Newman founded YardApes, Inc. in 1990 and holds the title of president. He hails from Telluride, Colorado, but has lived in New Milford for the past 27 years. Shayne received a B.S. in Finance from UCONN, is a Landscape Industry Certified Technician, Landscape Industry Certified Manager, holds a Connecticut Supervisory Pesticide License and is a Certified Landscape Designer. He is also the Professional Landcare Network (PLANET) PR committee chair, a CNLA committee member, founding member of the Connecticut LICT committee on training & testing, Community Culinary School of Northwestern CT board member, as well as Village Center for the Arts board member. Always involved in the community, Newman created and hosts the YardApes Quad-Am Golf Classic, raising $39,000 for area nonprofits since 2006. Additionally, YardApes has participated in PLANET's Day of Service since its inception, volunteering time and materials to revitalize civic venues including The Creative Playground, The Pratt Nature Center, Harrybrooke Park, Sullivan Farm, and the Brookfield Public Library, The Children's Center and the Abbey of Regina Laudis. Newman was featured on FOX News for his participation in Project EverGreen's GreenCare for Troops. In addition, the Connecticut affiliate of the American Psychological Association honored Newman with two of its five 2008 Psychologically Healthy Work Place Awards: Employee Growth and Development and Employee Recognition. He received awards alongside Pratt & Whitney and Paul Newman's Hole in the Wall Gang camp. YardApes, Inc. is the recipient of 2011 Connecticut Chamber of Commerce Big Business Award and has been North Western Connecticut's leading service provider of residential and commercial landscapes for over twenty-two years. The award-winning landscape firm is a full-service design, construction, and maintenance company with 25 employees. For more information, visit YardApes at www.yardapes.org.
