Gazpacho: a lesson in sustainability

In a futuristic thinking society that is in constant search of new and surprising forms of sustainability sometimes what we need is to stop and look back. To remember how our ancestors lived how they farmed how they ate and the great respect and capacity to make the most of each and every one of the foods to which they had access. Because at a time when we waste 13 of the food we produce in Europe something as simple as an ancient farmers recipe shows us the keys to being more sustainable in the future. Like Gazpacho the story of which we discover in this video guided by a Valencian family of farmers. Correction: Contrary to what the video narration may imply cucumber did not arrive in Spain at the same time as other modern gazpacho ingredients such as peppers or tomatoes. Cucumber is a vegetable of Asian origin that reached the Iberian Peninsula long before thanks to the Romans and it was the Spanish who made it reach the American continent in the 16th century. Cucumbers tomatoes and peppers did not appear as ingredients of gazpacho until the end of the 18th century. sustainability agriculture foodwaste traditionalrecipes gazpacho Regain contact with the origin of the food you eat by buying directly from the farmers at www.crowdfarming.com ---- Produced by CrowdFarming Estudio 2.0 Creative Direction: Diana Rivero Art Direction: Paola Laredo Julia Navarro Copywriting: Diana Rivero Cinematography by Juan Aroca Farm: Masía el Carmen Valencia Spain ---- Stay up to date with CrowdFarmings new projects farmers and available products: - Instagram: crowd_farming - Facebook: crowdfarmingco - Twitter: crowdfarmingco - Blog: ,
