  • In Germany, farmers are struggling with the impact of heatwaves and drought. Jonas Schulze Niehoff in eastern Germany is no exception. Alongside the traditional grains and potatoes, he's now testing out drought-resistant quinoa and chickpeas.

    Quinoa was introduced as a crop to North America around 1986 by a Bolivian agronomist (still living in New Mexico). He brought literally hundreds of varieties, sourced from isolated Altiplano villages, to Colorado for grow-out trials.
    He passed along dozens of varieties to me and I trialed them in Washington State. Some were successful right from the outset, and I was able to increase and distribute those seeds to many small farmers.
    Thus the North American heritage with quinoa is now nearly 40 years. I suggest readers get a copy of "Quinoa, the Supergrain" (1989) to learn what we were up to during that decade--laying a foundation for the increasing success of producing this vital food product beyond the Andean region.

    Pig weed amaranth was the first domesticated crop ever (a very close relative to quinoa.) It rewilded itself after other grains came into play such as Manoomin, teosinte, and maize and people stopped breeding it. I keep saying we need to redomesticate it. We would have a basically never ending supply of grains from something people deem as a noxious weed today.

    • @GordonSeal
      @GordonSeal Před rokem +4

      There are a lot of "wild" crops that people have forgotten about, but are great alternatives as they can handle drought and heat much better. They are not so great to make profits for the agricultural big business with their seed industry though, hence why there is a lot of marketing to "forget" about these wild crops.

      If there is a plant with never ending grain supply. Then Monsanto will secure the rights to it. And then even the poorest farmer who supports his family with it is forbidden to grow it if he doesn't have the necessary money.

    I wish farmers here in the US were as open to adapting as this German farmer seems to be. We're still growing water-intensive crops in the desert, essentially emptying our great rivers of necessary water. Big agriculture is slow, dumb and is enabled by cheap water rates given to them by the water districts because they think they're "too big to fail" . We see where that mindset gets us.

      Actually, the funny thing is to produce 1 kg of dry matter, corn requires less water than wheat for instance. And increadibly less than......rice. It's awkward, when it comes to water resource, nobody talks about rice. Corn uses C4 carbon fixation pathway, which is the most efficient photosynthetic process of carbon fixation in plants.

    Farmers around the world are moving away from mono-cropping, which means a diversity of income and plants. There are farmers in Germany using agro-forestry to gain more moisture, animal feed and nuts, berries, and fruits for further diversity of plants and income sources.
    People living in cities can do much the same, remove lawns and grow edible flowers, fruits and nut trees. City governments should encourage planting large areas on rooftops, boulevards and open spaces with productive plants instead of "decorative" trees.

    Might be worth the farmer trying lupins as a crop - very deep tap roots, relatively drought tolerant, is a legume that fixes good amounts of its own nitrogen, stems remaining after harvest can be used as animal feed etc. Would just need to check markets for the seed product, cost/benefit and try different lupin species (Lupinus angustifolius and L. albus).

That’s why many of them don’t want to change and learn new things because it means there chances of crop failure increase dramatically due to lack of knowledge.

    There is the global shortage of foods and meat, while the price inflation of meat and other foods is serious. Usually, the Dutch government should support the industry of agriculture and animal husbandry to increase the production of these natural foods, slow down the inflation of food price and reduce the global shortage of food and meat. Why did the Dutch government do the opposite? If all governments in the world implement similar policies, is the current severe inflation of food price deliberately caused by these governments? Are they deliberately causing the global shortages of food and meat and the inflation of food price to make huge profits from investment in artificial foods and artificial meat? Obviously, the price inflation of meat and other foods is urgent rather than the green environmental policy.

      Russia really only has two goods to export: oil and gas. Russia is not the only country exporting these goods but it is the country with the highest costs for exploration. Should the cost of a barrel oil fall under $ 30 (which it has been in the past), Russia would lose money.
      Russia is so inept in exploring its own resources that for everything else than sticking a straw in a deposit and let it run, it need foreign experts and machinery, both of which it will not get in the foreseeable future.
      The gas Russia is not to delivering to Germany at the moment, Russia is burning, because once they close a deposit, Russia cannot start it again without the help of foreign experts and machinery due to permafrost.
      Russia really is not in a good position.

      Another comment under this video complained that native south americans can't afford buying Quinoa any more, because the export demand has driven up the prices. Some Germans growing it would bring the prices down again, so it would be more affordable again. But it would ofc also lower the profit margins.
