EP 07: Cleaning forests to protect against Wildfire, Can Purtell grows drought resistant grain and Local Futures launch new film
Description
The Balearics are once again heading towards the time of year when endless Wildfires break out.
2023 will forever be etched in firefighters memories as the year Ibiza and Formentera were attacked by raging forest blazes.
By December last year, 27 forest fires had engulfed our Paradise Islands and it makes you begin to wonder just how much work is being done to prevent them.
Journalist and sustainability consultant Clara Cano talks to us about the solutions in todays episode as we celebrate returning for Series 02 after her TEDx Talk.
We meet Can Purtell creatorJess Dunlop on the farm to hear how she has been growing wheat for bread making and travels to a mill in Formentera to share with bakers on Ibiza.
Plus we hear from Local Futures director Helena Norborg Hodge on the new film, Closer to Home. This new 35-minute film is a united call for a new economy, delivered by those who have committed their lives to working for systemic change.
It Features strong voices from the worldwide localization movement, such as Vandana Shiva, Andrew Simms, Manish Jain, Iain McGilchrist, and more.
Thank you for listening and supporting Series 02 of Amar La Tierra. We are so happy to be back...
