“SobreVivências” project traveled in November to Goiás, on the central part of the country, to meet farmers and cattle ranchers and discover how climate change is affecting their business. The results are frightening: crops lost, unstable rain fall, poor soils… Global Warming is now an unescapable truth, but its most devastating consequences have not reached this region yet. According to a farmer who keeps track and records very accurately rainfall patern on the region “when the worst consequences reach us here it will be too late. We must do something before that happens”.
The documentary crew also visited Nerópolis (GO), a 30,000 inhabitants city, where a pioneer project wants to eliminate food waste. Comida Invisível (Invisible Food) is an idea that uses every city structure (personnel, recovery network, distribution centres) to recover food that would be otherwise throw away and distribute it to the most vulnerable citizens. They hope to make Nerópolis a “zero food waste” city, the first in the country, and then replicate the concept through the country.
“SobreVivências” is a documentary series that discusses the most important challenges of this century: climate change, food waste and production, city solutions, social inequality and vulnerability, circularity, social inclusion, economy etc. More information about its conclusion and exhibition soon.
