Local Food Challenge: Catalonia-Spain
One of the most important issues about food in Catalonia, Spain is the increase of transegenic plantation. The risc is the loss of biodiversity in combination with climate change can be a serious threat to productionHere some links with data on this issue:
Results of a research presented in Berlin 2005:

Article of Barcelona UNiversity researcher:
The cultivation of genetically modified maize has caused a drastic reduction in organic cultivation of this grain and is making their coexistence practically impossible. This is the main conclusion reached in one of the first field studies in Europe carried out by a researcher of the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, who has analysed the situation in Catalonia and Aragon, Europe’s main producers of transgenic foods.
Video:Based on local experience in Catalonia and Aragon (Spain), this doc**entary explores the different nodes of the transgenic action (consumption, health, knowledge, the production system and environment) and describes the conflict that breaks out when new biotechnology prevents the development of alternative ecological model of production and consumption.

Let's start with the chemical constituents of this plant:37 % Non-Nitrogen-Extracts19 - 29 % Ash9 - 21 % Fiber4 % Fat22 % ProteinOnce the leaves are drid, their protein content can reach an astounding 40 %, which is much higher than beef, which even under the best of circ**stances can never exceed 31 % protein. In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
