Paris, Aug 10 (EFE), (Camera: Marta Garde).- The largest urban farm built on a rooftop is set to open in Paris. Twenty workers will take care of the 14,000-square-meter farm, which is expected to produce up to 1,000kg of fruit and vegetables every day.FOOTAGE OF THE URBAN FARM AT THE rooftop of Paris Expo’s Pavillon 6.SOUNDBITES OF PASCAL HARDY, AGRIPOLIS PRESIDENT:1. "The idea is not to redo industrial agriculture in the city, it doesn't make sense. We try to extract the maximum number of lessons from everything that happens in the world of agriculture and food to propose a new productive, local and healthy model."2. "The technique that we have developed prevents from trapping urban pollution."3. "Our systems are totally closed and, which allows us to never be in contact with airborne particles."4. "We do not use pesticides or chemicals."5. "Prices are competitive. We are cheaper than biological but inevitably more expensive than conventional because we are in smaller areas than industrial agriculture is, we cannot mechanize and there is a lot of labour involved."6. "In two years, this area will become the largest urban farm on a roof in Europe. So far we have only installed a third."
Three sea turtles were released back into the wild from a beach in Samandag, in the Turkish province of Hatay, on Thursday, after undergoing treatment for injuries at a local turtle rescue centre. A Green turtle (Chelonia mydas) and two loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) were carried in containers to the coast, where they were then let loose and allowed to walk off and into the waves of the Mediterranean Sea.
Although these works of art look unremarkable at first glance, you might gasp after taking a look at the signature of the artist. The hand that drew these works belonged to none other than Adolf Hitler, the former dictator of Germany and Fuhrer of the Nazi party. Fourteen paintings created by the reviled Hitler will go to the highest bidder later in June in an auction hosted by Nuremberg-based Weidler auctioneers. The 14 paintings date back to around 100 years ago, when Hitler was still pursuing an artistic career, and most are signed by the far-right leader.
