"How much water it is need to produce our food? " from SpeiseGut

How much water do we need to produce our food? How does climate change play a role in the production of our food?

By watching this greenhouse in partnership with SPEISEGUT, we find the answer to this questions. The amount of water in the water tank tells us how much water the young plants need, and the variety of fruits and vegetables shows the change in our regional food as a result of climate change.

What is Solidary Agriculture?
In solidaristic agriculture, several private households bear the costs of a farm, in exchange for which they receive their crops. Through personal relationships, both growers and consumers experience the many benefits of non-industrial, market-independent farming. In addition, the community sometimes help with the field. The basic idea behind this is that the farmer receives planning security and risks are borne in solidarity by the community and not solely by the responsible farmer. Together we make our personal contribution to the success of the agricultural turn towards a solidary, regional and sustainable agriculture. Definitely a successful model for a sustainable food system.
