On Wednesday 13th November 2019 we interviewed a local farmer, named Martin Keller. He is a orchard grower (= Obstbauer) but also owns and raises cute animals. He took us around and showed us the farm. There were apple and pear trees, apricot trees, plum trees, cherry trees, strawberry and some raspberry bushes. We realized how less we know about apples. The harvest has just finished and will start again in July.More...

For the international cowboys and cowgirls which don't understand german we leave you the questions that we've asked GateGourmet below:
- How can a salad stay fresh in 10’000 meters a.s.l.?
- Does the food lose it’s healthy ingredients?
- Do the producers look out for seasonal and resourceable meals?
- How much energy do they need to reheat the meals in the aircraft?
There is some more work in progress sooo stay tuned!

we will be seeking answers for the following questions
- Do you think the climate affect agriculture?
- Which is the crop you think the most affected by climatic change in Kerala?
- how do you think we can conserve water in the agriculture fields?
- does global warming affect agriculture?
- do you think the nutritional value of the crop cultivated gets affected by the climate?
- does agriculture play a role in maintaining the stability of climate?
- do you think the overuse of water or pollution of water affects climate & how?
thank you for all your attention!
