There were many questions, as well as looks of amazement and spontaneous smiles upon realising that, just like us human beings, <strong>trees are also sensitive creatures that react to external stimuli<\/strong> and behave accordingly, for better or for worse. Although expressed differently from what we are used to observing, plants also experience something very similar to friendship and motherly love, as well as insecurity and fear.<\/div>\n<div data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-hveid=\"CAEIBBAA\" data-processed=\"true\" data-complete=\"true\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"Y3BBE\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-hveid=\"CAEIBRAA\" data-processed=\"true\" data-complete=\"true\">And just when those present thought they had been catapulted into a fantasy novel, <strong>numerous studies<\/strong> conducted by international universities and research institutes appeared to <strong>support these theories<\/strong>. It has even been proven that <strong>structures similar<\/strong> to those found in the <strong>human brain<\/strong> are located in the tips of a tree&#8217;s roots.<\/div>\n<div data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-hveid=\"CAEIBRAA\" data-processed=\"true\" data-complete=\"true\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"Y3BBE\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-hveid=\"CAEIBhAA\" data-processed=\"true\" data-complete=\"true\">And there is more! Exactly as happens in the animal kingdom, plants are also endowed with awareness and a sense of belonging: <strong>no member of the same species is left behind by its peers<\/strong>, who, in case of need, can provide for its sustenance even for hundreds of years. Needless to say, we truly have so much to learn from trees. Over the two days, there was a wealth of information; the topics shifted frequently, and many were busy taking notes.<\/div>\n<div data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-hveid=\"CAEIBhAA\" data-processed=\"true\" data-complete=\"true\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"Y3BBE\" style=\"text-align: center;\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-hveid=\"CAEIBxAA\" data-processed=\"true\" data-complete=\"true\"><strong>Exactly as happens in the animal kingdom, plants are also endowed with awareness and a sense of belonging: no member of the same species is left behind by its peers, who, in case of need, can provide for its sustenance even for hundreds of years.<\/strong><\/div>\n<div data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-hveid=\"CAEIBxAA\" data-processed=\"true\" data-complete=\"true\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"Y3BBE\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-hveid=\"CAEICBAA\" data-complete=\"true\" data-processed=\"true\">Peter went on to describe the more pragmatic aspects of forest life, and perhaps, listening to his words, many wondered what the balance sheets of many nations would look like if only the position of Minister of Economy were held by an old beech tree. It may sound crazy, but <strong>trees are true professionals in managing the resources<\/strong> at their disposal, <strong>especially water<\/strong>: if during the previous summer they suddenly found themselves dry because too much was consumed, they will be more parsimonious in the following one.<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-25728 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/autosufficienza.dartmoon.dev\/app\/uploads\/2016\/12\/14310431_1164776180252063_3333311292200055681_o-1-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autosufficienza.it\/app\/uploads\/2016\/12\/14310431_1164776180252063_3333311292200055681_o-1-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.autosufficienza.it\/app\/uploads\/2016\/12\/14310431_1164776180252063_3333311292200055681_o-1-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.autosufficienza.it\/app\/uploads\/2016\/12\/14310431_1164776180252063_3333311292200055681_o-1-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.autosufficienza.it\/app\/uploads\/2016\/12\/14310431_1164776180252063_3333311292200055681_o-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-25730 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/autosufficienza.dartmoon.dev\/app\/uploads\/2016\/12\/14352203_1164775660252115_4275556182843545918_o-1-300x263.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"263\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autosufficienza.it\/app\/uploads\/2016\/12\/14352203_1164775660252115_4275556182843545918_o-1-300x263.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.autosufficienza.it\/app\/uploads\/2016\/12\/14352203_1164775660252115_4275556182843545918_o-1-1024x898.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.autosufficienza.it\/app\/uploads\/2016\/12\/14352203_1164775660252115_4275556182843545918_o-1-768x673.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.autosufficienza.it\/app\/uploads\/2016\/12\/14352203_1164775660252115_4275556182843545918_o-1.jpg 1168w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-25732 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/autosufficienza.dartmoon.dev\/app\/uploads\/2016\/12\/14258116_1164774743585540_6986824464715887551_o-1-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autosufficienza.it\/app\/uploads\/2016\/12\/14258116_1164774743585540_6986824464715887551_o-1-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.autosufficienza.it\/app\/uploads\/2016\/12\/14258116_1164774743585540_6986824464715887551_o-1-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.autosufficienza.it\/app\/uploads\/2016\/12\/14258116_1164774743585540_6986824464715887551_o-1-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.autosufficienza.it\/app\/uploads\/2016\/12\/14258116_1164774743585540_6986824464715887551_o-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"Y3BBE\" data-hveid=\"CAEIAhAA\" data-processed=\"true\" data-complete=\"true\"><strong class=\"Yjhzub\" data-complete=\"true\" data-processed=\"true\">An experiential seminar in the heart of the woods<\/strong><\/h4>\n<div class=\"Y3BBE\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-hveid=\"CAEIAxAA\" data-processed=\"true\" data-complete=\"true\">The following day, the seminar naturally continued <strong>surrounded by nature<\/strong>, among those trunks and branches with their often imperfect shapes that had been discussed the previous evening. The chosen grove was not far from the farm, providing an excellent opportunity to show participants some curiosities that are difficult to explain with words alone\u2014for instance, that cutting down a trunk is not necessary to <strong>determine a tree&#8217;s age<\/strong>; there are <strong>much friendlier methods<\/strong>, such as observing the <strong>small folds<\/strong> that cluster on the thinner branches.<\/div>\n<div data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-hveid=\"CAEIAxAA\" data-processed=\"true\" data-complete=\"true\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"Y3BBE\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-hveid=\"CAEIBBAA\" data-processed=\"true\" data-complete=\"true\">Thanks to his experience and keen <strong>powers of observation<\/strong>, Peter seemed to already know these places. From simple clues, he was able to deduce a wealth of information about the land we were traversing: the presence of a juniper bush indicates that what is now a woodland was once used for grazing. Indeed, the surrounding trees were very young, which was evident from the presence of flowers and small plants on the ground, growing in the light that filtered through the sparse canopy.<\/div>\n<div data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-hveid=\"CAEIBBAA\" data-processed=\"true\" data-complete=\"true\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"Y3BBE\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-hveid=\"CAEIBRAA\" data-complete=\"true\" data-processed=\"true\">The forest tour concluded with an important reflection. Peter pointed out a fundamental lesson we should learn from trees, which has nothing to do with cold academic facts: <strong>let us try to follow the example of trees and become more patient ourselves; let us learn the value of collaboration and mutual aid<\/strong>, because only in this way can we live in harmony with others.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Melania Tizzi for the Autosufficienza Farm.
