Is a personal project. Consist in an educational platform to teach to take care of life through sustainable management, the valorization of ancestral knowledge, and ecological techniques in agriculture. To share information, get educated in environmental issues like sustainable development, circular economy, water and carbon footprint, etc, including the most diverse social actors in the food chain of products and services and their impact on the environment, and community. To connect and celebrate communities around the world and promote a harmonious life with nature, and of course, plant a lot of seeds of trees and consciousness!

AGRO from agriculture: Understanding the relationship of people with a ecosystem to produce food and services.

ECO from Ecology: Ekos means home, to educate how to take care of our planet, our home.

And WISDOM: Learn through the experiences of others, using information and techniques in a smarth and harmonic way.

The objectives of the project are:

  1. MAKE A BETTER WORLD
  2. CREATE AWARENESS
  3. PROMOTE A SUSTAINABLE LIFESTYLE.
  4. INSPIRE PEOPLE
  5. TAKE CARE OUR PLANET
  6. SHARE USEFUL INFORMATION
  7. GET CONNECTED
  8. CREATE NEW OPPORTUNITIES

HOW?

1. Make a documentary about food production creating awareness about the effect of the consumption of diverse products that influences our health, and showing up which kind of production alternatives are viable and sustainable in the ecological, social, and environmental dimensions.

 2. Create a web page of connection between producers and people interested in learning about these techniques and production systems.  A page that offers the possibility of doing voluntary and/or paid work related to sustainable projects providing information about courses, experiences, exchange, scholarships, even promote holidays of eco-friendly accommodation.

3. Be able to receive donations to invest in socio-eco projects around the world and be able to help real communities that need support, of course planting the most quantity of trees that I can! 

My history and motivation

Hi. I’m Sofia Rigalt.  I’m an agronomist who graduated from the National University of Cordoba, Argentina. During my career, I have heard that we are responsible for producing food for society, that it is our duty to be efficient, and that we must produce more and more.  In 1970 came to the so-called “green revolution” brought to Argentina a technological package that allowed large volumes of production, techniques with great machinery such as direct sowing, the use of transgenic seeds, and the use of agrochemicals.  However, all this increase in production did not solve the problem of world hunger.  The real problem is the distribution and use of these foods as a society.  It also brought problems with the loss of soil fertility, loss of biodiversity for both natural and our diet, loss of Creole seeds, contamination of the underground layers with excessive and misuse of inorganic fertilizers, land concentration,  and the saddest loss of our sovereignty and food security in the villages, among others.  All this leads to the human being is totally dependent on the system.  But I have found that the solution is not to produce more but to take care of what we have and recover the ancestral knowledge about the care of the soil and its interaction with plants, climate, fungi, animals that live in an ecosystem.  We as a human race have learned for years to take care of the source of resources that kept us alive, take care of the seeds, take care of the water, work the land and obtain its fruits.  I believe that we have moved away from our biological function as a species and have created an abrasive production system for both the environment and ourselves.  We have forgotten that our food is one of the sources of health.  We have moved so far away from nature that we are no longer aware of how much we depend on it for our survival.

I have a list of them… 

more about how did I start?

Having a dream, having an idea: I will change the world!! and I feed that idea. First with my time and energy and I get so tired! Because I discovered that I can´t do it alone. I need the support of people and the community.

I thought that I need to gather material to justify the investment of a worldwide project, to attract companies that want to contribute to real sustainability, helping people through projects, and in my journey meet people who want to make that change and even better… give them new opportunities.

I was thinking this gonna be simple and easy but was super difficult to go like an individual person asking for my dream…so I decided to share it here and found someone to help me.

Here I share my list of task for the next 6 months:

TO DO:

  1. Find sponsors
  2. Up the idea, materials, and videos
  3. Gather more material and do more interviews in the Asia region.

DOING:

      1.Edition of the 2018 material in South America (Brazil, Peru)
