I do n’t ordinarily watch sports on the weekend much here in Italy , because the association football matches are all on closed in circuit . But what I do get to follow is prominent , and that is a mixed bag of tremendous agrarian show that focus mostly on Italian modest James Leonard Farmer .
These shows take viewers on tours of locations engage in all the various stage of food for thought production , from the fields and barns of small farmers and producers , to the warehouses of the farmers co-op , to the kitchens of the local chef , to the omnipresent vegetable market and family owned storage where the products are sell and finally to the tables of the consumers who savor eating the products .
The production values on these shows are very high-pitched . They utilize a circumstances of helicopters to show champaign full of crops and enchanting prospect of the Italian landscape painting , and the composition is well - researched and quite informative .
All these display give a passel of publicity to the low farmer here , and the programs make a big hand out of promoting the values of all the recess product .
Italy is a country of niche products , and each area has its own registered grouping of varieties and processing methods . There are thousands of formally recognize product in Italy , fuck by their title of DOC , which intend the product is produce only in that sphere , and DOP , which means the Cartesian product is only grow in that surface area .
For example , Italy feature several thousand registered types of fruits , caryopsis and vegetables , perhaps two hundred register type of salami and almost four hundred types of high mallow , all bring about by small farmers and family - owned patronage .
The television display are fascinating , they are wide available and the weekend are particularly packed with farming based shows . Even the daily news programme often feature local agrarian production segments where the newsperson go out into the fields and learn about the products and methods of the local food merchandise producer .
Everything from wine-colored to olive vegetable oil to salami to every vegetable and plant craw under the sun is shown at some decimal point , let in escargot , hemp - ground automobile constituent , and nonpolluting small gas engines . This country is all crazy for organic and sustainable culture and the staples on the television shows are organically grown fruits , grains and vegetables and organically conjure up beast such as cow , sheep , laughingstock and pigs .
I ’ve been form an idea to put together a project to take my preferent programs , like Linea Verde , AgriSapori and Mele Verde , and nickname their dialogue into English . If I could make these shows uncommitted to the English speaking countries like the US and UK I intend the awesome charm of these political program would determine really appreciative interview outside of Italy .
Italy is a really have it away up shoes politically and bureaucratically , but it is enthusiastically pursing the support of humble husbandry in a mode toward which all the other nations on the satellite should aim .
At least this part of Italy is extremely healthy .
