La campaña de declaración de estiércoles 2025 en Aragón se desarrolla del 1 de julio al 31 de octubre, tanto para centros gestores como para explotaciones ganaderas. Este año, ECOGAN introduce novedades de especial relevancia, lo que hace imprescindible realizar la comunicación anual de manera activa, sin delegarla en declaraciones de años anteriores. ASAJA Aragón solicita al departamento de Agricultura, Ganadería y Alimentación la flexibilización de la BCAM 6. En la citada BCAM se marca como fecha de inicio de las labores con volteo de la tierra en las parcelas sembradas de cultivos herbáceos el 1 de septiembre. El granizo ha causado importantes daños en parcelas de hortalizas y cereal en las Cinco Villas. Sádaba, Sos del Rey Católico, Tauste, Castejón de Valdejasa, Erla y Luna, son los municipios más afectados por los daños. Los vinos del Matarraña trasladan a DGA su interés por convertirse en Denominación de Origen. Representantes de las bodegas junto a la IGP del Bajo Aragón y la Comarca han trasladado al consejero de Agricultura la unidad del sector para obtener la Denominación de Origen para sus vinos.

Veteran police dog expert, Bernhard Flinks, talks to Kate Fairweather during a break at the UK's National Police Dog Trials 2025. A wide-ranging conversation with Bernhard, who spent over 40 years in the German police force. Bernhard has been hugely successful in the uniquely German sport, "Schutzhund" (German for Protection Dog), also known as IGP. This is something of a triathlon for working dogs (tracking, obedience, protection)or working trials for protective breeds - notably German Shepherds but also the other main protection dog breeds. Schutzhund was given Intangible Cultural Heritage status by UNESCO in 2025. Bernhard discusses cultural differences between training regimes in Germany and the UK. Also how approaches to training working dogs have evolved, particularly the balance between negative correction and positive reinforcement techniques. More information from www.flinks.de.

Entrare in un supermercato italiano per la prima volta può sembrare un'esperienza normale, ma nasconde tante piccole differenze culturali che vale la pena conoscere. Per chi studia l'italiano, fare la spesa rappresenta un'ottima opportunità per praticare la lingua in situazioni quotidiane e imparare vocabolario specifico. Il Supermercato - Guida pratica per stranieri Il carrello e il cestino La prima cosa da fare è prendere un carrello o un cestino. I carrelli grandi richiedono una moneta da un euro come deposito - non preoccupatevi, la riavrete indietro! Per liberare il carrello, inserite la moneta nella catena e tiratela. Al termine della spesa, reinserite la catena per recuperare l'euro. Espressioni utiliQuando usarle"Scusi, dove sono i carrelli?"Quando non trovate i carrelli"Ho bisogno di una moneta per il carrello"Per chiedere il cambio"Prendo solo un cestino, grazie"Per una spesa piccola I reparti del supermercato Frutta e verdura Il reparto ortofrutta è spesso il primo che si incontra.

In this episode I am talking with Kat Farrants from the UK about her successes with her Australian Shepherds in high levels of competition. We spend our time talking about dog sports and mindset and all things Aussie competition. It's a great conversation and I am sure you will enjoy more stories about the working Australian Shepherd.  Kat Farrants has owned Aussies for 25 years, and bred for 20 years. She started in obedience with Shanti, her homebred Aussie, at pre-beginners, and in just 4 years, we were working Championship Class, and were the highest placed female Aussie in the crufts Obedience Championships. Her journey with Shanti was meteoritic. She quickly made Shanti's daughter, Gracie the third female Aussie Obedience Champion in history. Gracie is the only living Aussie Obedience Champion, and the only Aussie working Championship Class. For context, Kat has now competed at the Crufts Obedience Championships Five times, and in four of those times, she was the ONLY competitor of females to not have collies. This year, Gracie's been sick, so isn't at the Crufts Obedience Championships, and there are NO DOGS OTHER THAN COLLIES competing! UK obedience is a super tough tough sport, and champions are very few and far between. It's been amazing to have the first homebred female Aussie Champions and first Mother and Daughter champions. Gracie now competes in IGP (Schutzhund) and is the only Aussie to qualify IGP3 in the UK in history, and she has competed at National level in IGP. We are working towards the qualifiers for the world championships, where she is competing against Malis and GSD's and is aiming to be the first Aussie worldwide to compete at the IGP World Championships. Kat occasionally breeds, under the Solarwind affix, and she runs the Mindset for Dog Sports Membership, she is known as the Dog Sports Coach. The secret to Kat's success? Is it's all in the mind (and with Aussies this is the most important thing of all!)

This week I take a fresh look at European Classification Systems, going into detail on the history of how and why they evolved, what the current EU scheme is based on, and what the major wine nations' systems are structured (and how they differ from what the EU would like them to look like!).    I discuss: How Europe classified its wines to protect the names of specific products and link them to their place of origin, to the benefit of consumers and producers. A history of wine classifications from the monks in medieval Burgundy to the winemakers of Tokaj in the 1600s to Chianti, Port, and Bordeaux in the 1700s and 1800s. A detailed look at the evolution of the French classification system. I go through the steps that the French took to prevent fraud, protect the origin of their wines, and ultimately create the system off which the EU system is based. I address the EU system with its two main categories: -Wine without a geographic origin (table wine) -Wine with a geographic origin: Protected Geographical Indication (PGI): At least 85% of the grapes used have to come exclusively from the geographical area where the wine is actually made. These wines cover large areas, and a lot of grapes and winemaking methods are permitted. There is only a minor influence of place of origin Protected Designation of Origin (PDO): Every part of the production, processing and preparation process must take place in the specific region. Grapes have to come exclusively from the geographical area where the wine is made. Origin and terroir are essential to the identity of the wine. Then I review the major countries' classification categories   France: Vin de France=Table wine IGP, indication géographique protégée (PGI) AOP=appellation d'origine protégée, often called AOC (contrôlée) (PDO)   Italy: Vino=Table Wine IGP=indicazione geografica protetta, producers frequently use the old IGT = indicazione geografica tipica (PGI) DOC = denominazione di origine controllata (PDO) DOCG = denominazione di origine controllata e garantita (PDO) DOP = denominazione di origine protetta, the new name, conforming to the EU standard that includes DOC and DOCG. DOP is rarely used (PDO)   Spain: Vino de España=Table wine IGP / VT = indicación geográfica protegida, usually called vino de la tierra (VT) (PGI) VC = vino de calidad con indicación geográfica (PDO) DO (DOP) = denominación de origen, sometimes called DOP (PDO) DOCa = denominación de origen calificada (PDO) VP = vino de pago (PDO)   Germany Deutscher Wein =Table wine Landwein =PGI Qualitätswein (also called Qba from the 13 regions, PDO) Prädikatswein – Prädikat means special attribute and refers to the ripeness of the grapes and the type of harvest. Pradikat levels: Dry or sweet: Kabinett, Spätlese, Auslese Sweet (expensive and rare): Beerenauslese, Trockenbeerenauslese, Eiswein   Other terms: Trocken is dry, Halbtrocken is “Half Dry” or “Off-Dry, “Feinherb” is an unofficial term for off-dry wine   The VDP is a German marketing organization that includes many of the country's top producers. Producers can use the VDP eagle and the VDP classifications WITH “Qualitätswein” or “Prädikatswein” ·       Gutswein: First wines of a wine year to be bottled and sold, Estate-grown grapes ·       Ortsweine:  Village wines ·       Erste Lage:  Premier Cru wine from first-class vineyards ·       Grosse Lage:  Grand cru  or highest quality German vineyards. Dry wines within this category are called Grosse Gewächs or GG     Portugal (I don't discuss in the show because it follows the French/EU model) Vinho=Table Wine IGP = indicação geográfica  protegida, often called vinho regional (PGI) DOP = denominação de origem protegida, still sometimes called DOC, denominação de origem controlada (PDO)     _________________________________________________   Full show notes and all back episodes are on Patreon. Become a member today! www.patreon.com/winefornormalpeople _______________________________________________________________   Check out my exclusive sponsor, Wine Access.  They have an amazing selection -- once you get hooked on their wines, they will be your go-to!

La Cop Climat - la 29è - vient de s'ouvrir à Bakou, en Azerbaïdjan, après l'été le plus chaud jamais enregistré dans le monde. Ce changement du climat s'accompagne notamment d'épisodes de sécheresse, comme au Brésil, ou dans le bassin méditerranéen. Sur l'île grecque de Naxos, fertile depuis l'Antiquité, il ne pleut ainsi presque plus depuis trois ans. La pénurie d'eau a notamment entraîné une chute vertigineuse de la production traditionnelle de pommes de terre - produit phare de l'île - mettant tout l'écosystème agricole en danger. ‘Sur l'île grecque de Naxos, la sécheresse menace l'avenir de l'agriculture', c'est un Grand Reportage de Joël Bronner. Ils sont trois anciens moulins à vent, quelque peu décatis, à donner son cachet à la commune de Tripodes, au cœur de Naxos, une île grecque réputée, depuis des siècles, pour la richesse de son agriculture. C'est ici que Stelios Zevgis élève 80 vaches. Grace à ses bêtes, il produit quotidiennement plus de 1 500 litres de lait, qu'il revend ensuite à la coopérative de l'île. Ce lait sert alors à produire la graviera, un fromage local réputé, membre de la famille des gruyères. Mais pour l'éleveur, la pénurie d'eau à Naxos vient tout remettre en cause : « Nous sommes confrontés à de gros problèmes d'eau. Au train où vont les choses, même les bêtes n'auront bientôt plus assez à boire et à manger. Nous avons besoin d'au moins 70 à 80 mètres cubes d'eau par jour pour subvenir à l'ensemble de leurs besoins, que ce soit pour leur donner à boire ou les laver. Mais il y a une autre conséquence négative de la sécheresse, c'est que nous ne produisons plus assez d'herbes ni de plantes fourragères pour nourrir nos vaches. L'an dernier par exemple, on en a récolté moitié moins que ce qu'on a semé. Et la différence, ce qu'il nous manque parce qu'il ne pleut pas, eh bien il faut qu'on l'achète. Donc l'orge, le maïs, etc. Il faut qu'on les importe depuis la Grèce continentale et ça nous coûte très cher. Une botte de paille d'orge qui coûte par exemple entre 50 et 60 euros sur le continent, nous ici nous la payons entre 120 et 130 euros. Avec le transport et le bateau, c'est le double du prix. »Conséquence de la sécheresse, le prix de la graviera de Naxos tend donc pour l'heure à augmenter tandis que sa production, elle, diminue. La coopérative locale estime ainsi à près de 250 tonnes de fromage, au total, la baisse de production au cours des trois dernières années.Mais là où la production agricole connait le ralentissement le plus brutal, c'est au niveau d'un autre emblème culinaire de l'île : les pommes de terres. À la sortie de la grande ville éponyme de Naxos, l'usine où elles sont traitées et stockées va maintenant devoir cesser de fonctionner de longs mois, jusqu'à l'été prochain. Dimitris Veniaris, le responsable de la chaîne de production, fait donc face, à présent, à une situation inédite : « D'habitude, on a du travail dans l'usine jusqu'à fin novembre. Et puis, début décembre, il y a une nouvelle récolte qui commence. En général, on avait donc, au maximum, un creux de 10 ou 15 jours sans pommes de terre. Mais là, pour la toute première fois, on se retrouve sans rien dès la fin septembre… et comme la production pour l'hiver n'a pas été plantée à cause de la sécheresse, il n'y aura bientôt plus du tout de pommes de terre sur le marché. »« La pomme de terre a besoin d'eau »Traditionnellement, à Naxos, les agriculteurs récoltent en effet les pommes de terre deux fois par an. Une fois en été et une autre en hiver. Or à cause de la sécheresse, les tubercules n'ont pas pu cette fois être plantés, en prévision de l'hiver. Sur l'île, il n'y aura donc plus de production de pommes de terre jusqu'à la prochaine récolte d'été. Désabusé, le président de la coopérative agricole de l'île, Dimitris Kapounis, affirme que son collectif a pourtant tiré la sonnette d'alarme dès 2021, en alertant des risques de pénurie d'eau et en encourageant les pouvoirs publics à réaliser des travaux d'infrastructures. Il estime ne pas avoir été entendu, alors que le manque d'eau et ses conséquences sont à présent de plus en plus criants. « En 2022, nous avons récolté 6 000 tonnes de pommes de terre. En 2023, seulement 4 000 tonnes et cette année, en 2024, la production n'a été que de 1 800 tonnes, pointe-t-il. On parle donc d'une baisse de 70% de la production en deux ans ! Et la cause, c'est simple, c'est le manque d'eau, la sécheresse : il ne pleut pas... Il y a deux ans, on a eu de la pluie, l'an dernier déjà nettement moins et là, cette année, il n'a presque pas plu du tout. En 2024, de la pluie, nous en avons eu deux fois en tout et pour tout : un jour en février et un autre jour en mars. Autant dire que de l'eau, il n'y en a pas du tout. Le résultat c'est qu'à Naxos, qui est la patrie de la pomme de terre, un produit IGP, on se retrouve sans pommes de terre… parce que la pomme de terre a besoin d'eau, de beaucoup d'eau ! » Label européen, IGP signifie ‘Indication géographique protégée'. En face de l'usine, les chambres réfrigérées supposées stocker de grandes quantités de ces pommes de terre labellisées sont vides ou presque. Tout au fond, quelques rares sacs en toile de jute - remplis de celle qu'on appelle la ‘patata Naxou' - rappellent la fonction du hangar. « Cela fait 15 ans que nous organisons ici chaque année une grande fête de la pomme de terre en l'honneur de la ‘patata Naxou', depuis l'époque où elle a été couronnée par une ‘indication géographique protégée', explique encore Dimitris Kapounis. C'est la meilleure pomme de terre de Grèce, avec celle de la région de Nevrokopi, dans le nord du pays. Mais cette année, la fête a été annulée puisque nous sommes à court de pommes de terre. À la place, nous avons organisé un mouvement de protestation pour informer des problèmes auxquels nous faisons face. Cette pomme de terre, vous savez, elle est cultivée, avec de l'eau, dans un sol sablonneux, qui est fertilisé à plus de 70% avec du fumier animal. C'est cette association qui fait la différence de goût entre la pomme de terre de Naxos et toutes les autres pommes de terre de Grèce et du monde. »Sur l'île, la pomme de terre est un produit qui fait vivre environ 300 familles et qui suscite la fierté des habitants. À défaut de pouvoir la faire goûter sur les ondes, on peut néanmoins demander à un restaurateur - qui la propose à sa carte - de décrire ce qui la caractérise. Manolis Solokos est copropriétaire d'une taverne sur le port de la ville touristique de Naxos, où il accueille en majorité des clients Grecs, Français et Italiens : « La pomme de terre de Naxos, pour moi, elle sort du lot. J'ai déjà goûté d'autres pommes de terre de Grèce et, je ne sais pas, les autres sont plus jaunes, plus sucrées… La pomme de terre de Naxos a un goût particulier, tout simplement délicieux. Oui, je pense que nous nous distinguons dans ce domaine et j'espère que nous pourrons continuer à en produire. »Des investissements vains des agriculteurs Dans sa famille, Stamatis Sergis représente la 4e génération d'agriculteurs. Sur son champ tout sec de la commune de Livadi, il nous parle des mouches. Ces mouches qui sont là parce que c'est le fumier qui sert essentiellement ici d'engrais naturel. À la tête de 28 hectares, où il n'a pas pu planter la moindre pomme de terre pour cet hiver, l'agriculteur évoque surtout l'inflation et les surcoûts - liés à la chaleur et la sècheresse - qu'il estime à un tiers de dépenses en plus. Là, dans le coffre de son pick-up, il montre du doigt un moteur qui vient de griller. La faute au manque d'eau. Sur les sept puits que possède le producteur de pommes de terre, seuls deux sont d'ailleurs encore utilisables, les autres ont été infiltrés par l'eau de mer, en raison de la baisse de niveau de la nappe phréatique. Résultat des récoltes, au lieu d'une centaine de tonnes habituellement, il n'a pu sortir de terre cette année que 20 tonnes en tout et pour tout.« Nous avons déjà dépensé beaucoup d'argent pour nos champs, en particulier pour y amener de l'eau ! Il a fallu installer des tuyaux pour transporter cette eau depuis le réservoir vers la plaine. Concrètement chaque agriculteur a déboursé de 3 à 500 000 euros pour pouvoir cultiver, rappelle Stamatis. L'équivalent de ce quelqu'un, dans le secteur du tourisme, va payer pour construire un hôtel. Le problème c'est que mon fils, par exemple, il a plus intérêt aujourd'hui à aller travailler comme serveur pendant la saison touristique. Il gagnera dans les 10 000 euros, ça lui fera son salaire annuel. S'il choisit au contraire de travailler dans les champs, il va bosser sans arrêt toute l'année et, au final, il ne gagnera pas autant. Nous nous dirigeons tout droit vers une désertification et un abandon de nos terres agricoles. Moi, j'approche de la retraite, mon fils, lui, va encore me donner petit un coup de main, mais pour combien de temps ? Le domaine est là, les machines sont là, je n'arrive pas à envisager de tout quitter, c'est désolant. C'est comme agrandir une maison pour au final, ne plus jamais y retourner. »À Naxos, la radio locale porte un nom anglophone : ‘Aegean Voice', la voix de l'Égée. Depuis plus de 30 ans, Popi Aliberti est l'une de ces voix, qui accompagnent les auditeurs du 107.5. Après une brève discussion à l'antenne, relative à la sècheresse, l'animatrice évoque, devant le studio, la vie sur son île, la plus grande de l'archipel des Cyclades : « L'île de Naxos a évolué rapidement ces dernières années. Le tourisme que nous avions ici il y a 10 ans n'a absolument rien à voir avec le tourisme que nous avons aujourd'hui. Presque tous les ans, un nouveau record est établi. Cette année encore la fréquentation de l'île a progressé de 3 à 4% par rapport à 2023… qui était déjà, ici, une année record. » Ils sont aujourd'hui les deux piliers économiques de l'île, mais tandis que le tourisme est en plein essor et ne cesse de progresser, le secteur agricole, lui, tend à suivre la pente inverse. Non sans conséquence pour les habitants. « Les difficultés de l'agriculture locale, bien sûr qu'on les constate dans la vie quotidienne, indique la journaliste. Quand je vais au supermarché pour faire les courses, je vois bien qu'il n'y a plus assez de tomates de Naxos. Dans les rayons, on trouve soit des tomates d'autres régions de Grèce, soit des tomates importées de l'étranger. Le résultat, c'est que les tomates qu'on payait avant entre 50 et 80 centimes d'euros le kilo, elles nous coutent maintenant entre 3 euros et 3 euros 50. »Au premier étage de la mairie, les fenêtres donnent sur la mer et sur une poignée de petites usines de dessalement portatives, logées dans des conteneurs préfabriqués. Il s'agit là d'une solution de facilité, temporaire, mise en place -pour l'instant- jusqu'en fin d'année. Il s'agit, malgré la sècheresse, de répondre aux besoins touristiques en eau, sur la côte, dans un rayon d'une dizaine de kilomètres autour de la ville de Naxos. Mais cette eau, dont la qualité a des limites, représenterait une solution insatisfaisante pour l'agriculture. De plus, les infrastructures pour amener cette eau jusqu'aux champs n'existent pas et son éventuel transport ferait donc exploser le prix des produits agricoles. Il faut donc chercher ailleurs. Un défi : économiser l'eau « Je m'appelle Dimitris Lianos et je suis le maire de Naxos et des petites Cyclades. À l'heure où nous parlons, 70% de l'approvisionnement en eau de toutes les localités de Naxos, les 70% qui alimentent les maisons des particuliers, proviennent d'eaux souterraines, c'est-à-dire, des forages. Cela fait 35 ans que nous effectuons des forages sur l'île et jusqu'à présent ces réserves n'ont pas diminué significativement. Les scientifiques pensent donc qu'avec les infrastructures nécessaires, cette eau pourrait être dirigée vers d'autres régions, comme celle où l'on cultive des pommes de terre, pour enrichir la nappe phréatique sur place. » Pour amasser l'eau nécessaire aux besoins agricoles, les solutions ont besoin d'être multiples et complémentaires. Autre piste importante envisagée à l'hôtel de ville, un plan de recyclages des eaux usées. C'est aussi ce que réclament les agriculteurs : une station d'épuration avec un traitement dit tertiaire, qui puisse permettre de réutiliser l'eau, au lieu d'en rejeter des milliers de mètres cubes à la mer. Une initiative supposée s'inscrire dans une politique de plusieurs travaux à mener à bien. « À Naxos, le relief nous pose toutes sortes de difficultés par rapport à la question de l'eau. Nous avons ici aussi bien de la montagne, de la semi-montagne, des secteurs rocheux que des zones de plaine, poursuit Dimitris Lianos, le maire. Et puis, à l'échelle de la Grèce, nous parlons d'une île relativement grande, qui nécessite des projets d'une autre envergure que pour les petites Cyclades par exemple. Ici, il y a donc tout un travail d'études, de forages exploratoires puis de forages à faire. Ensuite, des travaux pour le transport de l'eau seront obligatoires pour installer des tuyaux et les connecter au réseau hydraulique. Il faut aussi absolument que l'État achève le barrage de Tsikalari, dont la construction est planifiée depuis environ 25 ans ! C'est crucial. Et bien sûr, en complément, des unités de dessalement sont également nécessaires dans certains endroits comme dans notre ville de Naxos ou, près d'ici, dans les zones touristiques de la côte. » À l'image du maire de Naxos, presque tous nos interlocuteurs se désolent qu'Athènes n'ait jamais terminé la construction d'un nouveau barrage, au niveau du village central de Tsikalari. Ce serpent de mer local leur semble pourtant riche d'une promesse, celle de pouvoir récolter puis redistribuer un précieux trésor aux agriculteurs : des perles de pluie.Non loin des vestiges du temple de Déméter, déesse de la fertilité, s'étend la terre agricole de Mikri Farma, la ‘petite ferme' en grec. Nous entrons ici dans le royaume de Konstantis Chouzouris, quadragénaire malicieux, à la barbe broussailleuse. Un souverain qui invite les visiteurs à écouter le chant de ses cannes à sucre, c'est-à-dire la musique que produit le vent au contact des herbes géantes. Au sein d'un collectif, le propriétaire de cette petite exploitation milite pour l'économie de l'eau à Naxos. À sa manière, l'agriculteur incarne la tension grandissante entre l'industrie du tourisme et celle de l'agriculture sur l'île : « Le problème principal de l'île, pour moi, c'est le détournement de l'eau. On vole l'eau des zones rurales pour remplir les piscines. Ce qui se passe c'est qu'un type arrive, il construit cinq villas avec une piscine par villas. Cinq grandes piscines de 80 mètres cubes d'eau chacune. Pour les remplir et les entretenir, il faut disons de 400 à 500 mètres cubes d'eau en tout. 500 mètres cubes d'eau, c'est en une seule fois toute la quantité d'eau que j'utilise en un été dans ma petite ferme ! Nous sommes en état d'urgence. Nous vivons l'une des pires périodes de pénurie d'eau de l'histoire de l'île. C'est la troisième année consécutive que nous avons très peu d'eau, comment pouvons-nous donner la priorité au remplissage des piscines ? »Au-delà de son appel à ne pas gaspiller, l'agriculteur recommande, en ce qui concerne la terre, un retour à des cultures de fruits et de légumes moins gourmands en eau. Une direction également préconisée récemment, au niveau national, par le Premier ministre grec Kyriakos Mitsotakis. Au vu des projections concernant le changement climatique en cours, tout porte à croire en effet que la sécheresse prolongée qui touche déjà Naxos et devrait concerner une bonne partie du bassin méditerranéen s'inscrit dans un temps long, auquel l'agriculture va devoir s'adapter… ou prendre le risque de disparaître.« Dans ma zone, la mairie a récemment augmenté le coût de l'eau, qui a été multiplié par trois. Mais moi, je ne peux pas vendre mes légumes trois fois plus cher ! Je ne peux pas vendre des tomates à 7 euros 50 le kilo au lieu de 2 euros 50… Nous, les agriculteurs, nous devons à présent collectivement nous former à l'agriculture en sol aride et utiliser certains types de légumes spécifiques, qui peuvent se passer d'eau. Une certaine catégorie de concombres, de melons, de pastèques, d'oignons, de pommes de terre aussi… Il y a des tas de cultures de ce style qui existaient ici il y a encore quelques dizaines d'années et dont nous nous sommes coupés. Nous avons malheureusement perdu de nombreuses informations à leur sujet. Et nous les avons perdues parce que les gens ont déserté les champs et sont allés en ville pour devenir médecins, avocats, enseignants, professeurs, députés… Beaucoup sont partis pour occuper des postes de fonctionnaires, pour obtenir un salaire fixe. Et le résultat c'est qu'il n'est plus resté personne, parmi les jeunes, pour s'occuper des champs... », déplore l'agriculteur. Un besoin urgent d'aide de l'ÉtatProduire, avec peu ou pas d'eau, certains légumes spécifiques en plus petites quantités… mais avant tout, continuer à produire. Voilà donc l'une des pistes avancées par ce travailleur de la terre. Quelles autres solutions privilégier pour récolter un peu de cette eau nécessaire à l'agriculture et à la vie lorsque sévit la sécheresse ? De passage dans les bureaux de la coopérative agricole de Naxos, Yannis Politis enseigne l'agronomie à la faculté d'Athènes. Le professeur suggère en premier lieu de s'inspirer des exemples déjà existants, dans les pays qui font face à des climats comparables voire encore plus arides : « À Chypre, la philosophie n'est pas de se concentrer uniquement sur de grands barrages, mais plutôt de construire de plus petits barrages au pied des montagnes pour que, les rares fois où il se met à pleuvoir, ces barrages retiennent suffisamment d'eau pour que celle-ci ait le temps de s'infiltrer dans la terre et puisse remplir les réservoirs souterrains de l'île. C'est de quelque chose comme ça dont nous avons aussi besoin, ici, à Naxos. Par ailleurs, de manière plus générale, le problème de l'agriculture grecque est que, par comparaison, notre production par hectares est bien inférieure à celle d'Israël ou à celle des Pays-Bas, que pourtant personne ne considère comme des pays idéaux pour l'agriculture. Donc là aussi il nous reste beaucoup de progrès à faire. Au niveau national, je pense que la proposition de notre Premier ministre de nous diriger vers des légumes qui nécessitent moins d'eau est la bonne. Mais en même temps, au vu du contexte agricole local, je ne suis pas prêt à soutenir que c'est la bonne voie pour la région de Naxos. »Car à Naxos, l'agriculture s'appuie donc pour l'heure sur un écosystème entre la culture de la pomme de terre, qui a permis le développement de l'élevage - à l'origine du fromage graviera - et le fumier animal qui vient, en retour, fertiliser les pommes de terre. Faire disparaitre l'un de ces produits labellisés risquerait de déchirer tout le tissu économique local, d'où la frilosité de l'enseignant en agronomie. Dans tous les cas, à Naxos ou ailleurs, l'éventuelle reconversion de certains agriculteurs vers de nouvelles productions ne pourra pas se faire sans pédagogie politique ni soutien financier des États pour encourager et faciliter une telle transition. Autrement, la fertile Naxos, en première ligne face à la sécheresse qui touche le bassin Méditerranéen, pourrait bien se transformer rapidement en un champ de ruines agricole. Des vestiges devant lesquels les touristes pourront toujours à court terme venir se prendre en photos, comme ils le font devant la porte du temple d'Apollon, l'emblème de cette île grecque et de son passé.

It's always great to have Avi over and just talk. We never know where the conversation is gonna go and those are my favorite chats. I don't like scripted questions, I believe they make for phony interviews. Now-a-days everyone has a podcast, so I decided to back off on mine. My goal is to only share interesting conversations with people, the kind of conversations I'd like to listen to.. not just a talk to talk. We talked about his dog ORKAN, training, competing and his new endeavor in dog training equipment including the AC STICK. I think you'll like this chat, Avi is a favorite guest because I think our conversations are raw and real. I'm providing links to Avi's socials below as well as the AC STICK he mentions... https://acstick.com Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/avi.cohen.100483 Instagram @avicohenrad
