of my rock because in our faculty of pharmacy, we have almost 500 my rock in the study in there. when i, when i listen to you, you say like who has very much culture or different religion living here different . i think it a group living here. but you also have challenges, you know, your sub challenges. people saying we don't want, i feel out of the mediterranean, but i think i'm not gonna waste this city which has been able to monitor diversity better than others. why that people, he assume that diversity is good. i mean is a heritage will have to be current and is good if you are leaving in places where you can see buildings that are wonderful and that counseling another culture, another people who br, office and other religions. and you've seen that this good. and it's wonderful and you want to leave that there you are thinking about now this is that the other offer to you in this conversation has highlighted for me the importance of

common understanding between arab and european cultural spheres. with, with this in mind, i leave grenada for l. if he done a town in the province of armenia, the spaniards call this region mud, a plastic or, or c of plastic. why? because it's dominated by greenhouses as far as the i can see. with these shanty towns are home to many african migrants, it's thought that some 90000 people work in the on to lucy and fruit and vegetable industry. a 3rd of them, foreigners, moroccans being the largest group among the ich minutes in ela, i'm in l. a. he done it a, one of the largest food producing areas in europe and here i was fat and vegetables like zucchini eggplant and tomatoes are exported from here to the rest of the continent. or the region is facing a huge challenge. household,

water scarcity of any. i'm about to meet with historically it's who says, sustainable practices are now imperative. now, healthy site is seuss, but in gone is an organic farmer. i'm pitching into health and thought i thought gay way the case was our even sticking. maybe you need to untie another loop. why are we doing this? no, it up what i think glory. to maintain the cycle. what i guess what am i the sheep eat the egg plan to give them back to the ground through the excrement. there was, this activates the soil, that's because we can't use any chemical fertilizers here and i guess get here. everything relies on the life of the soil. been on a plantation that used as chemical fertilizer. nothing depends on the life of the soil on our farm. the earth must be alive yet in this, for example, has a reddish color. he has seeds and it's a bit spicy it. generally, if you eat it, it'll burn. see that our comment beka mckinney. i'm going to see if we're new or

not. this wanted to spicy bigger look can, can bigger thought it's hard and the number of organic farmers has grown over the last decade from around 50215000 is gonna be able to be farmers like high suits, are less concerned with quantity. and more with the quality of the vegetables which flourish. thanks to the animals. if the nick i'm a little, just give this a shake like that i would have called the sheep over. she's called what a loop in her name is guadalupe. take it like this and now he, you, well, let's go to for them to let you know you need to go over to them, then she'll follow, you know, what that, okay, well then, you know, i think she doesn't trust me. you can help me. you know,

with my work's not done yet, the tomatoes have already been harvested. and because these sheep can't climb the dried up, plants need to be pulled down onto the ground to serve as animal feed. why is sustainability so important for you? but if you get a say, if this is going to work in the future, if this isn't just about any quick money now, then it ends when you plan things long term. and then you do it that way simply, it has to be sustainable. if water is becoming scarcer, the solution can't be to carry on as usual, and build more plantations. this solution would be to seek and balance and perhaps to produce less, but with better quality men up to me. but the solution would be to create green corridors and reforest the mountain not to expand the forests, little by little and attract more rank boyd omen bundle myself with

this has always been a vegetable growing region. most businesses are small family businesses. they begun. jo, you, i've been helping my dad since i was small dick little guy, remember any of his say the opening credits of the lunch time, john wayne movie led them as it started, we'd be off to the greenhouse next season. i'll start working here. ah no, i returned to the mediterranean ah, past beautiful beaches and small coves demonica. ah, the port city lies on the southern spanish cost, others so it? ah,

it's home to almost $600000.00 people. pablo picasso was born in malaga. ah! more than 200 works by the famous painter are on display at the maceo picasso. ah, mm hm. the cost of that a saw or sunshine coast is so called because the region gets more than $300.00 days of sunshine a year. this attracts millions of tourists from all over the world, many of them from germany and britain those who can afforded snap up their own 4 walls here in a state bona.
