Domestic Paraguay idyllic life in inland splashes of Paraguay to himself. Still a perfect life is like the landscape, the red earth and the small colorful wooden houses of the campesinos.
wooden carts with huge wheels move comfortably on the dirt roads.
's what you need in life you get in small kiosks, which can often be found tucked away in individual houses. Laundry hanging to dry everywhere around the houses.
Occasionally one sees a peasant woman, who still employed so that the laundry in a small wooden bowl is to wash them afterwards to free in a water-filled rubber tires from the soap. A nice clean bathroom one looks almost in vain in rural Paraguay. Small wooden huts next to the house serve as a toilet, a little larger than cottages shower facility. A look inside, I dare not, unfortunately, because I would not ask if I could photograph the toilet this time welcoming friendly people.
This, however, the modern in these remote corners of the country is drawn to show the growing issues Motorcycles of the many young people who usually kick up much dust. In statistics, this is interpreted as a sign that even in domestic consumption and purchasing power increases as evidence that economic growth in Paraguay also poor man arrives. Something that comes in any case the poor farmers, the help of the German Society for Technical Cooperation GTZ is abbreviated. Even if it is represented numerically less and less, but still she tries as much influence as possible to refer to the methods of cultivation of the farmers in the country. Defiant struggle to convey the last 3 remaining against burning, against the use of artificial fertilizers and try sustainable farming methods. Without much explanation we can understand immediately when you drive through the country, the dissemination of sustainable environmental and soil-conserving farming methods is badly needed. Not infrequently it runs out of one piece remaining natural forest and overlooking a burnt battlefield, where the black tree stumps burned as a sign that jut into the sky, which has also been here once a beautiful forest.
This can also maintain the natural forest and still make a profit with the trees tries, GTZ to provide farmers living in the country. No problem to remove a mature tree from the forest and make some money if you care that have formed around it have several "future trees.
exhausted in this way is also not possible with the wood of the forest to make money on a tree blow . The fact is that the fertility of the soil decreases rapidly after a slash and burn when the ground is not the kind of nutrients be returned that have been revoked. Then after a few harvests take place before 4000, just 1800 kg kg of maize per hectare can be harvested.
Frustrated low on the income brandrodet Bauer A is an additional hectare of his land, while Bauer B, by the GTZ advice will be planted green manure. In a natural way, he thus increasing its earnings back to 4000 kg per hectare and is also in possession of the wooded area on his property. Joyfully grins Bauer B, which is basically very happy at odds over the new methods, which taught him the GTZ, but still a little with the implementation. Actually, he had the green manure when he was young to cut, so he planted the ground is covered in the corn and it protects against strong sunlight. After half of his field but leave him well somehow the pleasure, so the dry grown much too large fertilizer plants are in the middle of its harvest crops. "That's not a problem," says Bauer B, "which I simply tear off when I want to then harvesting times "..... after he has given free rein to his muscles, he also holds full Proud of the torn green manure in his hand. When he was a little sweat, he quickly rushes back to the good part of his plantations and again praised the consulting services of GTZ.
On another piece of land he has prepared for the cultivation of sugar cane. He knows exactly what he needs to spend in order for the sugar cane in the sugar cane processing plant construction exploiting dividend to grow. Remember to ask, however, he removed him for how much this company the sugar cane is. "We must stop simply trying times," he tries to explain his ignorance. We gave him our fingers crossed that the company will pay a decent price. His naivete shows how important it is that people who give him good advice by his side stand. The number of technicians paid by GTZ in Germany currently amounts to 58 They speak Guarani and mediated the methods and techniques which have supplied the German expatriates them to the farmers. Next year, only 30 technicians are available, sometime garkeine more. For some time takes Germany as the development of Paraguay. In times of financial crisis, poverty in old age, declining pensions, etc. the focus is again more focused on their own country. German tax payers can not be taught, why he should help clear that Bauer brand no longer has to B in Paraguay, but gets better methods taught. Mosernd bleating and comes back the German tax payer in its own four walls, sits before his big TV in the cozy sofa and quickly change the channel on one of the many reports on poverty in the Third World is transmitted.
