Naša prva medjunarodna prezentacija degustacija

Paradajz – Povrće ili voće? Ili oba?

U petak 23.09.2016. u 16h u Torinu u kuhinji Evrope na Salone del Gusto Terra Madre održali smo prvu degusutaciju pred medjunarodnim auditorijumom.

I pred jednom istinskom, velikom zvezdom jugoslovenskog, srpskog, evropskog i svetskog fudbala!!!

Salone del Gusto Terra Madre je najveći gastronomsko-poljoprivredni dogadjaj na svetu, koji okuplja proizvodjače i farmere, kuvare, aktiviste, zarad podizanja svesti o značaju biodiverziteta, malih porodičnih poljoprivrednika, I istinske ukusne, čiste I fer hrane.

Mi iz konvvijuma Velika Plana hrabro smo odlučili da u sred Italijanskog grada Torina pričamo i ponudimo za degustaciju diverzitet, biološki, gastronomski i kulturološki PARADAJZA!

Pokazali smo svež paradajz, odgajen od našeg semena Superior i napravili salatu, u letnjoj varijanti, a onda ponudili sok od paradajza kako se pije u zimskoj varijanti.

Ponudili smo ga ljutog u pindzuru!

A pošto je botanicki paradajz voće (dok je agronomski povrće) upotrebili smog a i u slatkim proizvodima, ponudivši džem i slatko!

Dok su se posetioci nasladjivali proizvodima i pričom, naš musičar i umetnik zasvirao je gusle i zapojao pesmu o paradajzu!

A onda se uzmeskoljio narod, kao kad dolazi neko poznat, neka zvezda! Pojavio se glavom i bradom, i nogom SINIŠA MIHAILOVIĆ! Fudbaler, sada trener fudbalskog kluba Torino!!!

Mi smo ga preko glavnog štaba Slow Food International pozvali, zatim lansirali i poziv u društvenim medijima, jer nama, proizvodjačima, velika je čast imati takvog gosta! Imati takvog degustatora!

Sa našom dragom drugaricom iz Evo ruka

Pindzur od Radića

Mnogo smo srećni što je odlučio da dodje i proba pindzur, a veli on da i njegova mama pravi takav. Čak je članovima svoje svite objašnjavao o proizvodima, šta sadrže i kakav im je ukus, pokuzujući pri tom gastronomsko znanje. Ostaće nam uvek drag u srcima!

PARADAJZ nam je u srcima još i više. Njega daje Majka Zemlja, čuvajmo je!

LIFE IN THE COUNTRYSIDE PROJECT CONVIVIUM VELIKA PLANA

LIFE IN THE COUNTRYSIDE PROJECT

CONVIVIUM VELIKA PLANA

Does a child know where the food is coming from?

Towards the growing food path Convivium Velika Plana from Velika Plana, Serbia has an interesting project with the aim to show to the next generations that living in the rural areas is something very positive and special. The project consists of educating the youngest ones to appreciate farming and farmers, and know where our food is coming from.

Life in the city Vs Life in the Countryside

Life in the city is organized in such a manner that the schoolchildren spend most of their day in enclosed areas. The exposure of the children to a natural environment and the establishing and nourishing of a close connection to nature is lessened by today’s technological development and fun trends (personal computers, television, mobile phones, children workshops, and shopping centers), the organization of a teaching process in classrooms, extracurricular activities in enclosed areas and the time spent in transportation from one activity to another.                                                                                                                                                              

Life in the countryside is to a certain extent passing on differently than life in the city boundaries. Every day jobs are directly connected to field works, animal breeding and maintaining the household. Children are contributing to the maintenance and development of the family from the earliest childhood by fulfilling various duties. Peculiarity of growing up in the country is in learning through actual work and cooperation with other members of the family which allows the skills, knowledge and experiences to be taught and learnt in a spontaneous and immediate manner. This way, children spend most of the day in a relaxed and unconstrained exploration of the world of animals and plants and in play with their peers in an open space.

Towards the food growing path

The project "Life in the Countryside“ is an activity that makes part of the yearly program of the elementary school Starina Novak from Belgrade, which enables the pupils to experience a day of the countryside life. The agricultural household that is widely opening its doors to the children from the capital it´s called Marković, from the village Banicina in central Serbia. Thanks to it, the pupils have the opportunity to try themselves in various tasks (gardening, cooking and preparing of firewood, animal breeding related jobs, working in woods and fields) escorted by a host and a teacher. Apart from the everyday jobs, the pupils get acquainted with the local tradition and beliefs of the countryside population and, of course, with the manner in which their peers spend their free-time in the country.

Staying in the countryside enables the children from the city to spend a day in the nature intensively. Being in contact with a different lifestyle brings encouragement for revealing various interests which couldn’t have been aroused by the familiar conditions of the city. This is the opportunity to contrast personal everyday experiences and to compare life in the city to life in the countryside, seeing the similarities and differences, advantages and disadvantages of both.

Staying in the countryside benefits the acquisition of diverse experiences and helps creating a broader picture of the world in which children develop, make choices and bring decisions about their own paths in life, possibly the path of food growing in the countryside.
