Dear technician of the department of agriculture...
- In the primary sector, it is observed that problems are increasing: climate crisis, pollution, high prices of raw materials or difficulties of access to land… Those of us who want to live on it know what there is, we know that the sector is getting more complicated, but they are also people who want to go on or start and what to say to them. Not to start? Or not to continue? Of course not.
We workers in the primary sector do not choose it because we economically enrich the sector, but because we give meaning to our idea and work. I say to a pastor who does not live from sheep, but lives with sheep. We are aware of the difficulties of the sector and we are certainly betting on living from it.
We enter the agriculture office, we explain our situation and the response of the technician: “Living from the first sector Buuu is difficult, for that you have to reach a UTA (annual work unit), you have to put a lot of livestock!”
We know that it is difficult, as you do.
What do we have to make a lot of livestock? They want to devote the primary sector to that, and they say, "If you don't end, you won't live from the sector." The technician was pessimistic and limited to explain our idea and project…
Is it not your job to advise and make access to the sector as easy as possible?
We have told him that we know the sector, that we know what the aid is directed at and that we do not want that path…
Should we limit the primary sector to the conditions you have said in order to be able to live from it?
Or poraiiii!
Even if you don’t like it, because it’s your job, you’ll have to help us as industry technicians!

From a seed all the worlds
I have a lot of friends. A lot of the people I know are flying people. About three years ago, I had a visit from one of them; I don’t remember who he was. The anchovy could have been a beetle, or a female stallion, or some of those spicy pumpkins that walk in large flocks, or... [+]

Cat in the sea shark
Our beaches are full of sharks. Swimmers stay calm, because I’m talking about the wide beaches that we have at a depth of 100-200 meters on the coast. It is home to the largest and smallest shark in the Atlantic.

They write to me asking where to collect the medicinal plants and I usually tell them to look at the roadsides. Romanticism has harmed us in many areas of life and even here, because the medicinal plants are not (only) on the paths near the top of the mountain, nor in that... [+]
