La terra mi ha parlato

Year: 2002 Pages: 146 “What have the big cities done that is necessary? Do they make the grain of the bread they eat? Do they make the wool of the cloth they wear? Do they make milk? Do they lay eggs? Do they bear fruit? I plowed, sowed and harvested the fruits of the fields. Season after season I defended my work, the animals, the land. I never used violence against the latter and she repaid me with love. This is my story.” The earth and its problems belong to the millenary history of man. This work traces a picture of the events concerning the relationship between agriculture and human society. The author does not fail to carefully examine the vicissitudes of those who live in the countryside, their ways of life and the passing of the seasons. In these pages, technical and human realities intertwine. The book aims to restore dignity to the work of the fields, in the light of modern technical, scientific and historical knowledge. The text is the result of the author's direct and daily experience and of considerations drawn on the basis of serious and updated documentation.
