HUERTO DE LA CORA

Huerto de la Cora is an associtaion to promote the implementation of Agroecology. Probably you are asking yourself what exactly Agroecology stands for?We can say it is a Science, not an ideology , for the development of agriculture in harmony with the ecosistems and the social and culture heritage.It is a kind of mixture of agrology, environment and antropology but we must state that to develope it the cientific method is the only tool used, and it is the consecuence of reasearches and investigations done by professors at universities.The opposite to Huerto de la Cora is Monsantos policy with Modified Genetic Seeds. These seeds represent the inadecuate way to develope agriculture not taking into consideration the environment, culture and food sovereignty Basicly Huerto de la Cora tries to recover the local seeds for vegetables, which represent an inmense World heritage created during centuries and centuries of the Human kind, investigates the plants produced and distributes the seeds in a free open way among people interested in self gardening and food sovereign. They use the method of the arabic gardens in the islamic Spain of the century VII to XIV when theis culture managed to introduce so many vegetables in Europe coming from Asia (all sorts of garlic, onions, leaks, paprika, lettuce, carrot etc. Just think that the only original vegetable of Europe is cabbage. The rest is imported ). This arabic garden is called Garden of La Cora or Huerto de la Cora.Huerto de la Cora has manged to find more than 500 species from different veggies from Spain. Next step was to gather seeds coming from the rest of the World, basicly from America where we got also a big ammount of new products (potatoes, corn-mais, tomatoes, advogados, etc). So the second phase of this project is to create a new Garden or Huerto del Mundo or Graden of the World, which was actually sarted in 2013 by some vols. from De Amicitia, CBF and VJF in a Youth Exchange called Pilla la Semilla y Acribilla.Huerto de la Cora is conected to the Universite Pablo Olavide of Sevillla.http://www.esenciatv.es/video.php?id=245
