A majestic journey through Japan, Korea, and the United States that turns our perceptions of food (and life) upside down in a simple and poetic way. Solutions for our most pressing social and ecological issues come from unexpected places in a bite-sized film that New York Times bestselling author Alicia Bay Laurel calls “beautiful … both art and documentary.”Inspired by the work and philosophy of Masanobu Fukuoka, artist Patrick M. Lydon (USA) and editor Suhee Kang (South Korea) spend four years meeting and studying with multiple generations of modern day natural farmers. The result is a film that weaves breathtaking landscapes and an eclectic original soundtrack together with stories and insights from an inspiring cast of natural farmers, chefs, and teachers. The film gives modern-day relevance to age-old ideas about more sustainable, regenerative, and harmonious ways of living with the earth.Current-day leaders in the natural farming movement featured in the film include Yoshikazu Kawaguchi (Japan), Seonghyun Choi (Korea), Larry Korn (United States), and a dozen others. Their stories illuminate a brilliant-yet-maddeningly-simple path to sustainability and well being, one popularized by the late Masanobu Fukuoka, author of the seminal environmental text “One Straw Revolution.”Far-reaching in its application, “Food, Earth, Happiness” offers philosophical seeds to grow solutions for social and environmental justice.–Note: Officially released on January 1, 2019, this film is an abbreviated version of the acclaimed environmental documentary Final Straw: Food, Earth, Happiness (74 min / 2015). It has been edited by the directors for public and classroom use.–CREDITS– directed, filmed, and produced by – Patrick M.

As part of the project “Building capacity: international advanced application course on GIAHS (globally important agricultural heritage systems)“, co-financed by the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS) and involving the Department of Agricultural, Food, Environmental and Forestry Sciences and Technologies (DAGRI) of the University of Florence as the implementing party and Polo universitario città di Prato (PIN) as a partner, a collaboration with Slow Food has come to life.

Within the framework of Terra Madre Salone del Gusto, a series of four webinars and a digital conference are planned with the Slow Food network around the world (Terra Madre delegates, Slow Food communities and convivia, producers participating in the event’s marketplace, etc.), with the aim of illustrating the objectives and potential of the FAO’s GIAHS Programme for the sustainable development of rural areas.

The principles on which the Programme is based are explained, starting with the importance of cultural conservation, biocultural diversity and traditional production systems for the preservation of the environment and landscapes. These represent a viable alternative to the intensification of agriculture. The webinar will also explain the process for applying to be part of the GIAHS Programme.

Speakers TBC

The training session is conducted in English and French.

Project implemented by DAGRI in collaboration with PIN and Slow Food, with funding from AICS and the collaboration of Horizons.

Full Title: Electronic Waste Dumping in Africa
Presenters: Lauren Johnson
Advised by: Steven Frysinger
Abstract: European countries such as Germany, Norway, and the UK along with the United States, China and Japan are creating more electronic waste than ever before. When electronics break or are replaced with a newer model, they are shipped by E-waste recycling companies to Africa and resold in markets at a discounted price. Unfortunately, many of the products arrive broken beyond repair and must be discarded. The electronics end up in countries like Agbogbloshie in Accra, Ghana where huge dumps of e-waste accumulate. The e-waste dumps are then scavenged by locals who hope to make money from the precious metals contained within the electronics. Sadly, this electronic waste is accompanied by a number of health and environmental problems due to the toxic chemicals present in many of the devices. The research conducted regarding electronic waste dumping in Africa involves analyzing current legislation dealing with the import and export of electronic waste as well as a life cycle analysis of electronics. It will be used to determine what steps can be taken to remediate electronic waste sites and prevent future electronic waste dumps.

When money drives almost all activity on the planet, it’s essential that we understand it. The documentary 97% Owned aims to answer questions like: Where does the money come from? Who creates it? Who decides how it gets used? And what does that mean for the millions of ordinary people who suffer when money and finance break down?97% Owned reveals how the creation of credit and the mystery that surrounds it. The documentary goes at the root of our current social and economic crisis. Referring to the 97% of the world’s money supply that is represented by credit, this thought-provoking film presents serious research and verifiable evidence on our economic and financial system. Featuring frank interviews and commentary from economists, campaigners and former bankers, it exposes the privatized, debt-based monetary system that gives banks the power to create money, shape the economy, cause crises and push house prices out of reach. Fact-based and clearly explained, 97% Owned demonstrates how the power to create money is the piece of the puzzle that economists were missing when they failed to predict the crisis.▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Subscribe ENDEVR for free: https://bit.ly/3e9YRRGJoin the club and become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/freedocumentaryFacebook: https://bit.ly/2QfRxbGInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ende....vrdocs/▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬#Fre #ENDEVR #97%Owned▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ENDEVR explains the world we live in through high-class documentaries, special investigations, explainer videos and animations.
