London - The nutritional value of the food grown is reduced when crops are developed in the middle of a high concentration of carbon dioxide ( CO2) in the atmosphere, according to a study published today in the journal "Nature" .

A team led by Samuel Myers , School of Public Health Harvard in Boston (USA) , has produced a study whose findings suggest that the levels of zinc and iron are reduced in certain grains and legumes when grown in conditions high concentration of CO2, as scientists predict that by the middle of this century.

The researchers argue that reducing zinc and iron may increase the incidence of diseases associated with deficiency in the diet of these two elements, which affect about 2,000 million people worldwide diseases.

Previous research on the effects of increased atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide on the nutritional value of food grown had yielded mixed results , which according to Myers and colleagues may reflect differences in the environment of crops.

To reach their conclusions , the Harvard team has gathered the most data so far obtained from outdoor experiments with added CO2 .

The scientists used information from experiments developed in Japan , Australia and the United States in which we have studied the growth of rice, wheat , corn, soybeans , peas and sorghum.

Among other data , the results suggest that the grains of wheat grown in elevated CO2 concentrations have less than 9.3% zinc and 5.1% less iron than those planted under normal conditions .

The study authors suggest that programs to reduce the vulnerability of food crops to changes in atmospheric CO2 concentration could partially mitigate the risks arising from the reduction of the nutritional value of crops .

Londres - El valor nutricional de los alimentos cultivados se reduce cuando las cosechas se desarrollan en medio de una elevada concentración de dióxido de carbono (CO2) en la atmósfera, según un estudio que publica hoy la revista "Nature".

Un equipo liderado por Samuel Myers, de la Escuela de Salud Pública de Harvard en Boston (Estados Unidos), ha elaborado un estudio cuyas conclusiones apuntan a que los niveles de cinc y hierro se reducen en ciertos granos y legumbres cuando se cultivan en condiciones de alta concentración de CO2, como las que los científicos predicen para la mitad de este siglo.

Los investigadores sostienen que la reducción de cinc y hierro podría incrementar la incidencia de enfermedades asociadas a la carencia en la dieta de esos dos elementos, que afectan a cerca de 2,000 millones de personas en el mundo.

Investigaciones previas sobre los efectos del incremento de la concentración atmosférica de dióxido de carbono sobre el valor nutricional de alimentos cultivados habían arrojado resultados dispares, lo que según Myers y sus colegas puede ser reflejo de diferencias en el entorno de las cosechas.

Para alcanzar sus conclusiones, el equipo de Harvard ha reunido la mayor cantidad de datos hasta la fecha obtenidos a partir de experimentos al aire libre con CO2 añadido.

Los científicos han analizado información procedente de experimentos desarrollados en Japón, Australia y Estados Unidos en los que se ha estudiado el crecimiento de arroz, trigo, maíz, soja, guisantes y sorgo.

Entre otros datos, los resultados apuntan a que los granos de trigo que crecen en concentraciones de CO2 elevadas presentan un 9.3% menos de cinc y un 5.1% menos de hierro que aquellos que se plantaron en condiciones habituales.

Los autores del estudio sugieren que los programas para reducir la vulnerabilidad de los cultivos alimentarios a los cambios en la concentración atmosférica de CO2 podrían paliar parcialmente los riesgos derivados de la reducción del valor nutricional de las cosechas.

The attitude of Nordic Countries and US, The future.

The Nordic countries have significantly increased the rate of consumption of ecological wine, they are aware in improving their health, and are acting accordingly, consuming organic products. In the section on ecological wines, the global trend is the investment in ecological premium wines and professionalization of the people involved in the importation of the product. Advice of independent experts, is essential to any winery promotes advisors, we know thousands of cases in which some wineries finance the opinion of the experts, as of today there are thousands of cases and well known. If we do things right we must avoid this. 

In Europe, we are seeing a low level of professionalization in people who import and sell wines, whether large scale or retailers. There are several learning centers but are more focused on memorizing a number of references that make them more real experts. This is an issue that should think, is very important to find the right person, you can change your course of your business and make you a lot better. In the U.S., in the process of job selection, besides the studies and work experience, taking as references hobbies, professional commitment, empathy, coefficient of optimism, resilience, real vocation of each person. If a person does not really dedicated to what motivates him, he can not develop 100% of its qualities. 

Do we do this in Europe?

The ecological grape is much healthier than non-ecological, some significant information.

The ecological grape is much healthier than non-ecological, some significant information.

Using data provided by different sources of prestige without economic interests.

Our starting point that the ecological grape contains more antioxidants and polyphenols, addition of sulfur limits, with almost half in ecological wines. in ecological wine, the use of transgenic yeasts and bacteria is prohibited. Throughout its development it has extracted the best of the land while respecting the environment, therefore, are faced with unique, exclusive products.

The new systems of import and export wines - Ecological Wine

There is no trick , the answer is very simple and easy. The way to cut costs is to cut intermediaries.
It isn´t possible that the winemakers earn less for the price of a liter and end consumers pay more . It is impossible , something is not going well . We all know that this happens and are taking action. Given this situation to do a direct trade, wineries should strive to be more representative , make way for new technologies and young talent that are revolutionizing the world of sales . Here in London that is the trend and are moving to worldwide.
 I see how young entrepreneurs organize small meetings to exchange information , to know and to be aware of how they changed the habits and the way we do . People from all over the world, each bringing what they know. Ecological Cultivation as present and future , fair trade, expertise, passion for the job.

We need people who love their profession.

Ecological Wine for Japan

Ecological Wine for Japan.

 In 1940 , in Japan had very clear what was the way forward in agriculture, and the cultivation of wine would not be less. Masanobu Fukuoka revolutionized the world of ecological farming, the entire country is very clear that organic farming is the way to go in order to prevent diseases and better health , a better environment and a better planet. For all that Japan is one of the countries with the highest rate of consumption of organic products . Likewise, Spain is the EU country with the highest number of hectares dedicated to organic cultivation and in the next five years is estimated to increase about 20 %. Because initially the demand for these products and the awareness that this affects global good .

We can not mislead us , or let us mislead .

The ecological wine should express the character of the grape and the place where it has been cultivated .

The vineyards are not lamps that plug into electricity anywhere in the world and give the same light. 

Ecological wine, culture, taste so exquisite, quality products with identity.
