nonstop to Madrid Fruit Attraction from 5 to 7 October At Fruit Attraction Madrid, a great deal of interest was shown in Aartsenfruit and the stand. It was a striking, transparent stand which offered plenty of opportunities to talk. The main focus was the new nonstopfresh campaign. Names from left to right: Brigitte van der Pluym, Jasper van der Sandt, Gijs Aartsen, Rob Pijpers, Hassan Benmoussa, Jack Aartsen, Richard Uijtdewillegen Presentation The new corporate film was played continuously on a large screen. The stand also featured four boarding places (Breda, Hong Kong, Venlo and St. Katelijne-Waver) and a conveyor belt with crates of fruit. A genuine gateway was created. Once again, Aartsenfruit profiled itself extremely well and made every effort to establish business contacts and find new partners. The results are still unclear, but the initial impressions are promising. 39 40
Hai una passione per la frutta e verdura? Climate quandary victoria tells! column Victoria Koblenko Though it feels like a different lifetime, it was only seven years ago that I made a trip with several fellow students to Brazil. To be specific, a climate trip to the Amazon. Young and ambitious, we were determined to turn this journey into a successful Fair Climate project: one that would not only synthesise the specialisations we were studying, but also enable us to push back our own footprints. Wij zoeken commercieel talent, Italiaanstalig. Wij zoeken niet zomaar een commercieel talent. Je moet begrijpen waar vers om draait. Beseffen wat er nodig is om groenten en fruit vanuit heel de wereld op de plaats van bestemming te krijgen. Je werkt namelijk niet bij zomaar een bedrijf, Aartsenfruit is de enige echte internationale gateway voor groenten en fruit. Niets is ons te gek, als het moet laten we zelfs een kiwi vliegen. Spreekt onze ambitie je aan? Kijk dan voor de complete vacature op www.aartsenfruit.com/career-opportunities From the capital of Brasilia we took an endless bus ride to the lungs of our planet, a place where a handful of Indian tribes still carve out their lives amidst encroaching deforestation. During our brief stay with one of them it became painfully clear that climate change is no conspiracy theory, but a harsh reality for this small group of indigenous rainforest dwellers. While there, we slept ten to a hammock in tents. Electricity was a luxury that we were happy to trade in for the experience. We woke with the sun and bathed in a river alongside the tribal families. Sitting around the campfire each evening we were struck by the impact that our global mass consumption is having on a people that live in harmony with nature. If you live by the laws of nature and the traditions handed down from one generation to the next, the world around you falls apart when others come in and start imposing their own laws on that nature. This is how our translator summed up mass consumption. It was no easy matter to find local language equivalents for words like energy, let alone for concepts that the modern parlance of our energy-suffused society can no longer do without – concepts like economisation and sustainable consumption. The life necessities we swapped around the campfire were patently unfair: for them, food; for us, more! The Indians' food security hinges not on calendars and clocks but on an age-old tradition: when flowers fall into the river, it's time to sow. But now, thanks to climate change, flowers are drifting downriver much earlier, resulting in failed harvests. The indigenous people's reverence for the nature that feeds them and its medicinal secrets has been appropriated by 'civilisation', by consumerism. Because we continue to pile on financial incentives for the cultivation of crops like soya beans, entire forests are being chopped down. The laws of the market have trumped the laws of nature. climate change is no conspiracy theory, but a harsh reality If these stories made us think, the real moral dilemma came when we were asked if we wanted to see the severity of the deforestation and forest fires with our own eyes, from a small aeroplane. That brought us up short, because how often do you get a chance like this? That majority sentiment overruled the minority who didn't want to fly on principle. We stilled our conscience with a hefty carbon offset and boarded with the words of a local soya bean farmer echoing in our ears: 'Men are not knocking down forests because they are evil! They are just trying to make a living.' Victoria Koblenko (35) is an actress, presenter and writer. She was born in Ukraine and has lived in the Netherlands since she was twelve. 42
