Malaysians are very good at fruit growing. For dragon fruit they are unbeatable at providing appropriate supports. Note that any one dragon fruit variety will not perform in every location. Flowers may not pollinate, resulting in no fruit. Therefore collect different varieties, if possible from your local area.

The real alternative.

it was shot in the southern highlands of Papua New Guinea in September 2006 in Tari at a tribal feast i was invited to. Life is very hard indeed in the highlands. The most basic needs are not met even matches are hard to find, empty can reuse. A group of older women asked me for my newspaper and shared it equaly as cigarette paper . Proteins and fats are hard to get, very expensive imports and feast with animal proteins are always shared between clans so people eat very little meat indeed and whatever meat they eat they kill. Nothing is thrown away. People would'nt dream of eating chicken or any meat on their own: none would get away with that.

At first we did not want to upload this clip as we thought it might be too gory and gross for most people and only attract those who like blood. We changed our mind and dedicate it to those who eat meat and dont take any responsibility for the growing of the animal not their killing.

However the pigs are dispatched the best they know and are able to. There is no torture here. The wodden butt is what they have. Arrows and bullets are reserved to tribal wars. The pigs as all pigs are very intelligent creatures, nurtured lovingly by the women folks. The manfolks kill them.

This is in marked contrast to the terrible pig life in modern piggeries with no space no grass nowhere to root about and no sex only insimination. That's in industrialised agriculture for you!

We hope we have not offended some muslims and orthodox jews, some vegetarians, vegans, Seven Day Adventists and animal lovers.

Ok the rights have NOT been cleared because as we did the quick edit of the footage, we tried to fit some music just to see how it feels and then it stayed.... and we never actually cleared the rights from the owners which I should have done, and going to do. Hope google youtube wont get angry at us. The trailer was made pro bono by friends in Italy and I think that between pasta and bottle of fine vino i understood the sound track was clear of copyrights. Wishful thinking!? I must have heard "voices". I will make sure that we either pay for the rights or get some donation if we can turn the copyritghts owners onto our campain as we are a not for profit organisation registered in Australia.
Here is the music that is so beaut.

www.seedsavers.net Watch 100 000 rice seed varieties disappear into the thin air....the 3:43 minute introduction to the 57 minute doco, "Our Seeds" that we made. As progress moves towards industrialisation and modernisation of farming and food processing a sad casualty is biodiversity as third world and traditional farmers are encouraged to adopt modern hybrid varieties and chemical farming techniques, often unsuited to their environment and needs. Along with this is a loss of traditional knowledge of the cultural, nutritive and medicinal uses of food plants.
This is a small clip from our upcoming documentary film highlighting how traditional farmers act as the preservers of biodiversity and traditional culture. Filmed in Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, India, Sri Lanka, Umbria, Taiwan, France and Italy. Made in Italy as a promo by Micheal Shaun Conneway and Alex Mynk of Story Works.
