  • Inauguration of Sustainable Food Citizen Week. Changing the world by eating

    <p>The start off the week will be a chorus, musical, and participative. Having their say will be the real heroes of sustainable food, those involved in the food cycle: the fishermen, drivers, chefs, farmers, ranchers, market vendors. The speech will be intertwined with the large mechanical orchestra of Cabo San Roque, distributed in the form of a sound mural in front of the City Hall, along with the active participation of the public, in a collective musical creation composed especially for the occasion. A show that highlights all the participants behind the food supply network and gives them a voice.</p>

  • Alimentació i estil de vida
    Food and lifestyle. How we decide what to feed ourselves

    In this programme you will find practical ways for moving towards a diet that includes habits which improve quality of life for ourselves and the people around us.
    You learn how this affects our decisions, how we choose what we buy and where we buy it, all in a cheerful, fun and creative way.
    We discover how to improve our surroundings and our inner selves, in order to feel full of life.
    Our food choices have an impact on the environment; we review various diets (carnivorous, omnivorous and vegetarian) and finally focus on the plant-based diet.

  • Food and health

    How can you adapt sustainable food to healthy living?

    Batch cooking consists in cooking for the whole family and investing a little time so you can make nutritious everyday meals, at home and for your lunch box.

    BREAKFAST: habits as simple as a good glass of water, with sea water and lemon. Breakfasts such as shakes or smoothies, which you can warm up in winter. You will discover recipes such as rice pudding and pear, quality-bread sandwiches and an omelette made from organic eggs.

    LUNCH: important notions on how to structure a dish with different groups of foods. A dish is not the same for a teenager as a middle-aged person. You can cook the same for all the family but put in what each person needs. You should always add vegetables in season, wholemeal carbohydrates, some raw vegetables, sprouted and fermented foods, etc. You will discover recipes such as baked pumpkin with curry; lentils cooked with adobo, sprouted ... and seeds; chickpeas with prawns; wholemeal rice with mushrooms; and lettuce head salad with carrot, olives and chopped chives. Wholemeal pasta with courgettes, mushrooms, squid with carrot and beetroot.

    EVENING MEAL: an evening meal or supper should be light and eaten as early as possible. You will discover recipes such as pumpkin, sweet potato and oatmeal soup; vegetable pudding with carrot and broccoli; fish soup with noodles, and grilled fish in a sauce.

  • Oreka TX
    Oreka TX

    This show reflects the result of the last fifteen years this quintet's career, in which they have further explored their own style using organic, natural instruments with a grass-roots and contemporary language.

    The concert revolves around organic instruments made from materials found in nature. Once they have been crafted, respecting the natural material, they generate melodies with a unique sound.

    The stars of the show are the oak-wood and slate txalapartas, percussion instruments using wood from the desert and pipes. We will also hear a clarinet made from bamboo, whose sound creates atmospheric base lines that enhance the other instruments.

  • El salt d’escala en la distribució i el consum d’aliments ecològics i de proximitat.
    Step-up in scale in organic and local food distribution and consumption.

    Challenges and opportunities for multiplying and consolidating transformational food networks

    There has been a significant increase in initiatives, over the last few years, which attempt to facilitate and ensure widespread access to organic and local food, taking the needs of the area's farmers into account. Central purchasing bodies, farmers’ distribution networks and new consumption cooperatives with shops (also known as cooperative supermarkets) are just a few examples of these.
     
    The main goal of these projects is to provide a greater diversity of consumer profiles with access to these types of products. To do that, they aim to overcome the obstacles that prices and physical accessibility represent. They also aim to help improve the viability of the initiatives of farmers who work with agro-ecological values and practices.

    The aim of the session is to discover various types of initiatives for distributing organic and local food and to reflect on what the key elements are that can help to multiply and consolidate transformational food networks. Taking part in this will be members of Germinando involved in GIASAT (Gestión Integral Agroecológica de los Sistemas Alimentarios Territorializados), VallaEcolid, the Barcelona Local Agri-Food Exchange Centre (CIAP), promoted by the Farmers’ Union, and the Quèviure and Economat Social cooperatives.

  • Seeds of profit (a documentary by Linda Bendali, 2019)

    Sixty years of standardised fruit and vegetable production and the creation of industrial hybrids have had a dramatic impact on their nutritional content. In the last 50 years, they have lost 27% of their vitamin C and almost half their iron. The tomato, for example: through multiple hybridisations, scientists are constantly producing redder, smoother, and firmer fruits. In the process, however, a quarter of the calcium and more than half of the vitamins have been lost.

    The seeds that give rise to the fruits and vegetables we eat are now owned by a handful of multinationals, such as Bayer and Dow-Dupont. These multinationals produce their seeds mainly in India, where workers earn just a few rupees, while the company has a turnover of more than 2 billion euros. A globalised business where seeds are more expensive than gold. According to the FAO, 75% of cultivated varieties have disappeared in the last 100 years.
    Loss of nutrients, privatization of life. This documentary presents the great monopoly of the industry on our fruits and vegetables.
