often support that would be important to bring our food in the direction of diets based on local produce, grown on the land and perfectly integrated in its ecosystem is easily countered with accusations of utopianism, as if automatically be asserted that we must stop the inevitable process of globalization note: it would be utopian to oppose a system of production and distribution of food that now offers goods from all over the planet, it would be unrealistic and "no-global" means that it is best to harmonize and revitalize local productions, starting from the consumption of territory, rebuilding a relationship as possible directly with producers. This without considering the accusations of conservatism excessive. A new local food is actually a project difficult, but more urgent than ever, given the ecological conditions of the planet and imbalances, inconsistencies, problems that afflict our agri-food scientists. But I do believe in the hope of this re-location of food consumption because it seems to introduce a better chance to protect biodiversity, protect small agricultural production, to keep alive the local culture and also to have better diets for our health.
E 'this is the reflection that led me to come into the Province of Pisa to join the campaign "GMO-Free", promoted by a set of organizations of the agricultural and artisan, consumers, environmentalism and retail development for a food free of genetically modified organisms, and to support its motivazioni.In short, not only are we what we eat but also what we eat our ancestors, when globalization, or even trade on a medium-large distances were unimaginable. By analyzing the myriad of food allergies that plague nearly four billion people on the planet, the diets we are better prepared, for simple reasons of evolution, are those that are deeply rooted in our products from the area or where they come from our avi.La our genetic structure has evolved based on diets that have characterized the lives of our more distant relatives to us. The most trivial examples you have intolerance to alcohol in certain populations, such as Japanese or American Indians, or those with dairy products, for people who have never had a tradition of farming.
The appeal which is to assert the common interest of producers and consumers to high-quality agriculture, the protection and enhancement of biodiversity, typical and traditional products, arguing that it is a real cultural battle: NO GMOs!
