Rain has totally ghosted us on this side. Thankfully, our banana plantation is still doing well😊
2 days ago we removed unwanted weeds, and we are preparing to harvest our maize which is now ready.
We plan to use the maize stalks as mulches, which will help keep moisture in the #soil, protect the roots from strong sunshine, and improve soil health during this dry period

Create a world that whether a collapse comes or not remains a paradise.
Building bunkers is the opposite of this vision: in difficult times, people need community, not underground isolation.
Yes, the threats are real, but the future depends on what we choose to build today.
Shall we prepare for disaster? Or prepare for Paradise?

#WorldWaterDay – #WaterIsLife, not a commodity
March 22, 2026
"On World Water Day, it is crucial to remember that water is not just a natural resource. It is a fundamental human right and a common good that must be protected and shared.
"The global water crisis is not driven by absolute scarcity, but by management models that turn water into profit, stripping it away from communities and #ecosystems.
"Defending water means supporting #RegenerativeFarming practices, protecting territories and respecting natural cycles. Within the '#TerraeVivae' community regeneration programme, two projects have been dedicated specifically to water. 'Water is Life' has focused on the deep links between water, #biodiversity and culture, while the '#BlueCommunities' project has sought to translate these principles into political action, encouraging local communities to join a global movement in defense of water.
"Born from the work of #MaudeBarlow, the Council of Canadians and the Blue Planet Project, Blue Communities are communities that take on clear commitments: recognising the human right to water and sanitation; maintaining and strengthening public, participatory management of water; and gradually phasing out bottled water in public spaces and institutional events, in favour of tap water. Launched in 2009 in Canada as a response to #WaterPrivatisation, the initiative has since spread to dozens of cities worldwide, including Paris, Berlin, Brussels, Munich, Zurich and Los Angeles. On World Water Day 2026, #NavdanyaInternational, as part of the Italian Committee for the recognition of Blue Communities, is pleased to welcome the city of Udine into the Blue Communities network. As the first Italian city to join the global movement, Udine stands as an example and a starting point for further expanding the reach and impact of Blue Communities around the world.
"In the context of World Water Day 2026, dedicated to the relationship between water and gender, the initiatives surrounding Udine’s recognition as a Blue Community help weave together local and global dimensions. Defending equitable access to water also means addressing the inequalities that affect women, girls and communities most exposed to the water crisis. It also means strengthening tools for knowledge, monitoring and participation – from local observatories to educational pathways – to take care of #rivers, #aquifers, #springs and #wetlands as ecological infrastructures essential for life and for the climate.
"Today more than ever, in a context of #ClimateCrisis and intensive exploitation of resources, there is an urgent need to shift paradigm: from water as a commodity to water as a common good.
"Protecting water is a political, social and environmental act. It is a daily choice, and a collective one. Because water is life. And life is not for sale."
