Terra Firma
No. 5 OCTOBER 2014
As you walk along the supermarket aisles and fill your trolley, you make decisions whose consequences date back to the origin of the food production chain. Sometimes, as incredible as it may seem, the choices we make are at the beginning and not at the end of an entire agroindustrial process. This book proposes a journey to discover the place where food begins. Readers will spend a year on an estate in the Alentejo and follow two stories: the transformation of a harsh and difficult land, which has gone through different eras and suffered considerable changes; and the account of contemporary agricultural production, full of surprises and a great deal of tenacity.
