We would like to share with you our concept about our collaboration project water consumption. Everyone interested in our project is welcome to join us. If you like our idea please let us know. Maybe we can collaborate and do a great project together. Enclosed you will find our approach of how we imagine the international collaboration.More...

        The Chocolate Production in Kerala

         Everyone like chocolate, it is a usually sweet, brown food prepared from its main ingredient roastedand ground cacao seeds along with sugar,cocoa butter etc.

 In Kerala, cocoa is cultivated about 15, 894 hectares in 2016-17. The crop is now cultivated in an area of 10708 ha with an annual production of 6100 tonnes and productivityof 685 kg/ha. 

 Cocoa is a tropical crop grown under equitable climate with well distributed rainfall. In majority of the regions, where cocoa is cultivated, a high but often unevenly distributed annual rainfall occurs, resulting in fairly well defined dry and wet seasons. These seasonal changes exert marked effects on the growth of cocoa tree, and on its cycle of flushing , flowering , and fruiting. Shade studies on cocoa indicated  progressive increase in yield       ( with the use of chemical fertilizers ) and progressive decrease in vegetative growth with decreasing levels of shade (Nair et al.,1996).

From this its clear that change in climatic conditions in Kerala effects the growth of cocoa which is  one of the main ingredient for the preparation of THE CHOCOLATE.

Looking forward to your comments ,

Thank you

Hello everyone, 

If you are interested in our project idea you are very welcome to join our group. Just write a comment below this post. We are looking forward hearing from you! :) 

Following you will find our concept, so you know how we imagine the international collaboration with you as a partner. More...

Last week the first climate lawsuit in Germany was negotiated in Berlin. Although the complaint was rejected, the three farmers concerned and their lawyer speak of a partial success.

Two weeks before the trial Claus Blohm leaves his harvest. A coach parks in his yard, next to it boxes full of apples with brown spots. Young people in Greenpeace rain jackets line up around the fruit trees, which did not bear a single apple this year after last year's hot summer. Blohm wants to show the young people that climate change is not taking place somewhere in the world and not just in computer simulations - but here, More...

Hi Friends,

We all love food and some of us in fact are the biggest foodies in the world.But while relish its taste did we ever wonder if these foods contribute to the global warming.

I am sure the answer is a no. But its true. some of the food that we eat daily like meat ,pork etc can contribute to the major problem that the world is currently facing.

Sounds interesting,isnt it?I feel this as an interesting topic and something to research further.

If anyone is interested in joining our project,please let us know in the comment box.We are looking forward for your comments so that we can collaborate and get to know more of it.

Kindly regards

Hello everybody

We want to do a project about the lifecycle of a local product. We decided to to the lifcycle of an apple.

If we think about a local product, we think about its production, its care and finally its way to the grocery store.

For us a local product is planted and then it needs a lot of care. It has to be protect of many damages like hail or frost and damages through animals. Further we think that it is very important how the apple is harvested, because we think, that the harvest is decisive for the criterias to sell the apple in the grocery store.

With our project, we would like to show the different steps from how an apple tree got planted to how and when the apples will be picked from the tree. We want to find out how big or small the ecological footprint of this production and its impact on the climate is. In conclusion: What is needed that such a popular product ends up in the grocery store?

This week, we will do an interview with a local farmer to answer our questions. We are looking forward to our project!

When I thing about our project green walls for a green city, I think this is going to be a very interestign project

I wan't to find out, what affects the green walls have for our environment. I can imagine, that they have a very positive impact to reduce the greenhouse gasses. Furthermore I would like to find out, how the procedure is to make and to keep alive those green walls. Is it possible to make it everywhere? And are there any regulations in switzerland for the green walls.?

I hope in the end we can make a interesting blogpost, where other peoples can learn all those things about the green walls.

Let's find out, if the green walls are something for our future.

Project: Green walls for a green city

Step One: Imagination

When I think of our project, it remembers me of all the green houses in the villages. I imagine a big city full of green walls everywhere you look with a lot of insects having their habitat there and a lot of healthy people living in those green houses.
More and more I recognise that green houses are most common in villages and not in big citys. I think in Citys green houses would be much more effective for the air and the whole environment as the villages are already located close to the country side. Furthermore I would like to write about the impact the plants really have on the air pollution. It would be also very interesting to get some statements from people who are living in a green house or at least next to one. Do they really feel the good impact of the plants in their habitat?

I am looking forward to work on our project!

Dear Students from Belgium and India

Our project idea concerns the sustainable packaging method. In my opinion, there should be a possibility to create or develop a method which is 100% bio degradeable. Our world and nature as we know until today, will no longer exist in the future if we go the same way as we do now. We should take care about our environment. If I think about a renewable and sustainable packaging method, I have a lot of thoughts which come to my mind; the waste problem, industries, the production by itself, the environment which is polluted by so much plastics.

In my opinion our aim should be to give an overview about some alternative packaging methods. We will concentrate on the sustainable and bio degradeable foil and clarify how the impact to the environment is in contrast to a common plastic foil. We’d like to answer the questions which raw materials are needed, if it is really better than plastic packaging, what the advantages and disadvantages are and what the impact to our lives is.

I’d like to change the thinking of the humans which has hopefully an influence to the behaviour.

If you’d like to know more about our project and concept, take a look here.

Best regards

Next Wednesday, 13 November 2019, we are going to do a interview with a local farmer. We hope to get a closer view of the lifecycle of apples and gain more information about how those fascinating trees are grown. We prepared some questions for the interview below to get a detailed description from the farmer, let's see if we gonna grow our own tree soon. ;) More...
