Palm tree disease "Phoenix Canariensis"

Many of the palm trees in the mediterranean getting dead due tue an egiptian weevil

How can we create ideas to transform this problem into a solution?



Weevil larvae can excavate holes in the trunk of apalm trees up to a metre long, thereby weakening and eventually killing the host plant. As a result, the weevil is considered a major pest in palm plantations,

QUE ES PERMACULTURA ?
La permacultura surge como una respuesta, como una propuesta positiva a la crisis
energética del sistema actual y plantea soluciones prácticas para la viabilidad humana
en un mundo dónde la energía fósil está en declive y el clima se alborota. Dado que el
modelo de agricultura moderna depende de los combustibles fósiles, tanto en su
producción (maquinaria; herbicidas, fungicidas y pesticidas) como en su transporte, la
permacultura propone desarrollar técnicas de agricultura sostenibles y locales para
hacer frente al futuro.
La permacultura es el diseño de entornos humanos sostenibles. Trata de una ciencia de
diseño que observa e imita el funcionamiento de los sistemas naturales para crear
entornos sostenibles, capaces de satisfacer las necesidades de sus habitantes, sin
explotar ni contaminar el medioambiente, y de forma perdurable a largo plazo.
DIRIGIDO A:
Todas las personas interesadas en un futuro mejor
