Café du circuit judiciaire
The Court-Circuit Café is a transition initiative project set to open april 2011 here in Nice (french riviera) created by the association transition alpes maritimes, we are very keen on it’s realisation the local agriculture being in a ruinous state, having gone from 10 000 farmers in 1970 to 650 today. Nice being since 50 years the converging point for thousands of property buyers from all over europe, creating demand for summer residencies (unocuppied 75% of the year) creating a “real estate bubble” and thereby putting pressure on agricultural land prices. Most food producers have now been pushed inland up in the mountains 50-70 km away from the best farming land on the coast-line. “we are intent on helping rebuild a vibrant local food economy with territorial resilience through the pursuit of our current partnerships with producers and structures offering local organic foods and the strengthening of the model of AMAP groups that pass contract collectively with producers for a weekly veg+fruit basket, thus providing the farmers with income stability and also by helping farming newcomers settle and buy land through mutualisation, etc”.
Nous avons projeté le film Transition 1.0 à plusieurs reprises dans les Alpes Maritimes depuis février 2010, dans le cadre d'éco-festivals (avec Danielle Grunberg en tant qu'invitée) et de projections/débats locaux.
Depuis, plusieurs groupes de "muller" se sont formés dans le département.
