A book about The AMAP


From heavy!


just released a book particularly interesting: AMAP; Let us put food in the heart of our societies. "
This book really made me travel. He starts with observations and experiments that are familiar to every participant in an AMAP (the formation of a group of consumers, organizing distribution, preparation of contracts ...) to lead us, after a few detours to Canada, Japan and Italy towards a broader and more complex role and specificity of AMAP.
More than a review of the book, I touch on a multiple arguments, which I endorse any particular (p94): "learning [is] an essential dimension of the system AMAP.
The authors (David Leroy Maud and Stephen Girou) give several examples of such learning:
- learn how to build a different relationship to our diet
- understanding of agricultural issues
- innovative ways to cook
- learn to share, learn the interaction and sharing ("you do not necessarily choose the most beautiful bunch of leeks)
- learn how to measure the true value of the basket
- learning the complex thought.
This learning seems essential to me, is illustrated by a quote from Miguel Benasayag "need to mourn the solution to be to think in terms of experience and multiple processes"
Clearly, each is an AMAP unique, permanently built by its members. One learns to become amapien over the baskets.
A book to devour ...

cormier in trouble




Jeremy has built his trouble with friends. They chose a particular wood used in woodwork, marquetry, carpentry: wood cormier.
is an opportunity to talk a little about this species. The research cormier deep soils rich in limestone. When we walk in the woods or countryside in autumn, you can see the ground hundreds of fruit (see photo).
must choose the most mature (if not, we at the bottom of the palace a little tart). They can be eaten as is, dry as prunes (I have not tried).
Better to eat them anyway after the first frost.
A first feature of this tree is that it is in the process of depletion. It even included in the list of endangered species in Switzerland and Austria

A second feature is that its propagation is difficult, so much so that some assos offer trade cuttings, seeds ...

I read somewhere that the difficulty obtained by multiplying the cormier from seed would be due to a third characteristic: its fruits contain a substance inhibitory to germination. When the seeds are eaten by thrushes, starlings and other blackbirds, digestive juices break down the substance and the seeds can germinate.
Morality ... it can sometimes be good to be in the shit ...

Bread the AMAP




For some time, you can buy bread through Top of the amap Bousson. The system that allowed the establishment of this action deserves attention.
First episode: an association Champ Bouletout created on the territory Cleja (local committee for youth savings), which "serves to finance projects to create or resumption of activity by promoters from 18 to 35 years to build solidarity between generations and involve the population in local development. "

Second episode: a friend of Benjamin, Jeremy, the association meeting, the two friends took over the concept and decided to embark on a project bakery on the farm:

The principle is: find the association of "investors" (individuals willing to lend money without interest). When a sufficient sum was collected, a draft (chosen by a selection committee), is endowed with the corresponding amount. In the case of Jeremy and Benjamin, the sum is 3500 €, to be repaid by 2010. The sum corresponds to finance half of the investment (the purchase of the bread oven). Result: Jeremy is employed by Benjamin and sells bread through the amap
I tried to learn more about the system Cleja. The " Cleja (local savings committee for youth) seems to come from a province of the Basque Country: Soule. I found a site that talks about it: http://azia.unblog.fr/
I have noticed that the Basque Country, it has a great ability to imagine collective actions, associations, groups , Cooperatives .... Let us not forget that "ikastolas" are schools of associative status ..
To return to "Cleja" version Basque Country: "This is a 1901 association composed of investors who have decided to support young people with projects Economic Soule. 1 year, each participant / contributor pays € 15 per month (or 180 € one time). He gets the money interest-free after 3-5 years.
What is money loaned by the contributors? It is loaned to rate 0 to young entrepreneurs (18-35 years) who decided to create or expand a business. And then? After a few months, entrepreneurs Cleja repay the money lent. Once all the loans repaid, contributors found their savings. "Simple, right? Who's next ?....
