"Come gli alberi possono salvare la Sicilia dalla desertificazione" | Eugenio Piccione | TEDxUniPa
Eugenio Piccione denuncia il drammatico avanzamento della desertificazione in Sicilia, che minaccia di inghiottire il 70% del territorio. Parla di un processo irreversibile, che una volta in atto, distrugge la capacità del suolo di produrre vita, acqua, risorse. Mostra come l’acqua esista, ma venga mal gestita: le piogge ci sono, ma vengono sprecate, i fiumi straripano e le terre restano aride. Propone un ritorno alla terra, alla riforestazione, al recupero della biodiversità. Mostra come la Sicilia potrebbe risorgere, se solo si tornasse a fare comunità, a lavorare insieme per rigenerare il suolo. "Se non ora, quando?" Si chiede, avvertendo che attraverso l’azione concreta, l’agricoltura rigenerativa e l’agroforestazione possiamo evitare la fine del nostro territorio. Il cambiamento è possibile, ma dipende da ciascuno di noi.Eugenio Piccione denounces the dramatic advance of desertification in Sicily, which threatens to engulf 70% of the territory. He speaks of an irreversible process that, once set in motion, destroys the soil’s ability to produce life, water, and resources. He shows how water does exist but is poorly managed: the rains come, but they are wasted, rivers overflow, and the land remains dry. He proposes a return to the land, reforestation, and the restoration of biodiversity. He illustrates how Sicily could rise again if we only returned to community, working together to regenerate the soil. "If not now, when?" he asks, warning that through concrete action, regenerative agriculture, and agroforestation, we can avoid the end of our land. Change is possible, but it depends on each of us. Appassionato di sociologia, si interessa in particolare al modo in cui le comunità online costruiscono la propria identità, sviluppano un linguaggio specifico e creano dinamiche interne di socializzazione. Crede che molti fenomeni passino inosservati, ma che i piccoli cambiamenti sociali possano evolversi in questioni più grandi e complesse. Sostiene che osservando e analizzando questi fenomeni fin dalle prime fasi, si possano anticipare gli sviluppi futuri e comprendere meglio l’evoluzione del panorama digitale. Inoltre, nutre un forte interesse per l’agricoltura rigenerativa e per i progetti sociali, credendo che la sostenibilità e l’innovazione sociale siano cruciali per affrontare le sfide del futuro.Passionate about sociology, he is particularly interested in how online communities shape their identity, develop specific vocabularies, and establish internal social dynamics. He believes that many phenomena go unnoticed, yet small social changes can escalate into larger, more complex issues. He argues that by observing and analyzing these micro-phenomena early on, we can anticipate future developments and better understand the evolving digital landscape. Additionally, he has a strong interest in regenerative agriculture and social projects, believing that sustainability and social innovation are crucial to addressing future challenges.
