Here the effects of globalization imposed on us. The title is otimistico in fact have been lost permanently more than half of the vegetable and fruit varieties. I can say from personal experience since I have been involved actively. To remind the loss of more than half of the varieties of grain stored in the seed bank at the University of Bari because of a sabotage of refrigeration units. We posted an article on exactly two years ago signed by Nicoletta Forcheri.
Sa pompia From Sardinia to Sicily until the carob blue potato thirty [2] In Italy have disappeared from the table three out of four varieties of fruit and a large percentage of those remaining bears the risk of extinction, while missing some thirty breeds of cows, pigs and sheep and 95 percent of the ancient variety of wheat has been lost. And 'what emerges from the first file on the phenomenon of "F armers Market in Italy ", presented at the first national assembly Agrimercati Country Friend of Coldiretti. In Italy in the last century, there were 8,000 varieties of fruit, but now you get to just under 2,000 and 1,500 of these are well considered at risk of disappearing even as a result of modern distribution systems that favor large commercial quantity and standardization of the offer. But over the past fifty years - highlights Coldiretti - has also lost [3] thirty breeds of domestic animals, including five types of cattle, Ten of sheep and pigs and three goats. And seventy-one others are threatened with extinction, according to Eurostat data.
This not only threatens to impoverish the choice at the table with the withdrawal of certain flavors and products of a territory, but - Coldiretti - it blends a wealth of biodiversity and important part of them ' environmental and cultural identity of an area. recovery action should be important to new business opportunities created by the farmers' markets Country activist friends in all regions and have offered economic opportunities to farmers and growers of local varieties and breeds at risk of extinction that would otherwise would not be [4] never survive the rules of modern forms of distribution . For example - explains Coldiretti - fruit and vegetables sold at farmers' markets are conserved in more than a week on average 'because they do not have to suffer long journeys and this allows you to sell even more variety' perishable that has no place on the shelves of hypermarkets .
It is estimated that - Coldiretti - at least 100 plant varieties defined children, including fruits, vegetables, legumes, wild herbs and products obtained at least 30 different breeds of cattle, pigs, sheep and goats are raised on a small scale with the existing network outlet to markets for farmers Country Amica. There are many examples from different regions of Italy. Garlic is grown in Friuli Reschen, high quality, very aromatic and particularly suitable for the production of sausages while Piedmont is the Cardo Hunchback of Nice which is preparing the bagnacauda. But the Campagna Amica Markets were also saved the Blue Potato Pumpkin Berettini Trentino and Emilia Romagna. Farmers can find the precious Venetian Honey Barena produced by Limoniun plant characteristic of the lands that are close to the lagoon, called the sandbanks. E 'Ligurian instead - Coldiretti - Chinotto, which can be prepared in various ways: syrup, candy, liqueur, in elixirs such as jam and as mustard. Tuscany was recovered an ancient wheat, the Verna, known for the high content of antioxidants such as polyphenols and flavonoids and vitamin E, with whom he makes a rustic bread. If you are the Figadei from Lombardy, a type of meat on the gender of the salama da sugo, in the Marche is the Tortella swine, made with pork, bay leaves, anisette, almonds, pistachios, pine nuts, while the beans are a specialty of Purgatory Lazio from nutritional value. In markets agricoltori umbri è stata recuperata la Roveja di Cascia, antica varietà di legume ottima nelle zuppe, ma anche per preparare la polenta. In Abruzzo si è recuperato il Vino Pecorino, che si ricava dalla varietà di uva Pecorino, così chiamata perché presente nelle zone storiche di transumanza dei pastori. Anche la Muscisca – sottolinea la Coldiretti – è legata alla pastorizia, stavolta pugliese: si tratta di strisce di carne di pecora o di capra aromatizzate con finocchio, aglio e peperoncino e lasciate essiccare. In Campania si trova la Cicerchia, legume adatto alla preparazione di molti piatti. La Mela Gaetanella, bassa, panciuta e profumatissima, è una specialità dei farmers market del Molise, mentre la Eggplant Red Round PDO belongs to the tradition of Basilicata. Annona has the anti-tumor properties, a type of fruit that is produced in Calabria. Sicilian farmers is the revitalization of the Locust are back on the tables to be used in diets as a substitute for chocolate. In Sardinia Sa pump was later recovered, sort of thick skin and rough cedar used - said Coldiretti - preparation of a typical wedding cake, candy or preparation as well as an ingredient in liqueurs. Farmers markets is also often forget to buy wild herbs, for cooking, in care of the body or health. An example - says Coldiretti - is the nettle that can be used in cooking for soups, omelettes, quiches, stuffed fresh pasta and risotto, even though the recipe that best enhances the taste of the dumplings is green. To fulfill these simply add to the potato dough classic good nettle previously boiled and chopped eggs and flour. Once cooked, can be served with a sauce of cheese and walnuts. La Malva, however, known for its purple flowers has remarkable beneficial properties useful for treating many hassles. The flowers and leaves are in fact very rich in mucilage, potassium, calcium and vitamins that give emollient and laxative. Fresh used to treat tooth abscesses (Takes 5 or 6 fresh leaves are heated in a pan, pounded and wrapped in gauze to apply on the sore) can also solve a stomach ache and intestinal constipation, cough and cold but also when used in decoction (enough to boil 30 grams of leaves and dried flowers in a quart of 'water for 3 minutes, let stand and drink at least 2 cups a day). The same decoction can be also an excellent remedy for sore throat if used to rinse and gargle. Calendula, however, has excellent antiseptic, healing and anti-inflammatory, especially to solve minor annoyances such as skin rashes, skin redness or simple. To do all this - concludes the Coldiretti - Just to dry flowers and leaves of calendula near a heat source and then prepare an infusion by boiling 6 grams of dried calendula in 100 ml of water, applied with cotton gauze on the sore or cracked.
