Last Thursday, I really enjoyed Jimmy's Global Harvest, in which the lovable Suffolk farmer travelled to Australia to investigate how the world is going to feed itself in years to come.
I missed the previous week's episode, which I've just caught up with on BBC's iPlayer. It's got some wicked big kit action coverage in Brazil, some which I have put (albeit lo-res as I have taken them from the film) below.
This week, he's in North America. Watch it at 8pm on BBC2 or catch it on iPlayer: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00pspf0/Jimmys_Global_Harvest_Brazil/
Hello . Thank you for that excellent Post . Keep up the awesome work. Cannot wait for next post. BTW. Gush.. it is almost 3 at the morning - need to go sleep :D cu.
This series has been excellent. Unfortunately in this week's programme Jimmy implied that the pig crates being used were an industry standard worldwide. They have been illegal in the UK for at least 15 years. How does the industry correct this kind of misleading information?
my take on the spreading of (popular) culture as a positive force in that it’s only positive if it’s two-way. If one culture simply subsumes another, then something has been lost, whereas if both cultures can learn and benefit from each other, then the relationship is not only reciprocally beneficial but collaborative. So, for example, Japan’s multi-ethnic interaction with the West (pre- and post-war) has been two-way to a routine extent: Japan has not only took on Western technologies and traditions (e.g. apparel, schooling systems), it’s kept on its own to a healthy point and has actually developed on Western technologies, while Western countries have taken in constituents of Japanese civilisation into their own in turn. Other, less providential nations and peoples have to some degree doomed their clear-cut culture to Westernization, without very much if any of aforesaid culture extending into that of the West (this is in all probability true for regions of Africa, for example).
