It's the last day of the month and also the last day of the work week, yes, it's Friday. In the Christian religious calendar, it is called Council Friday, which begins the celebrations that mark Holy Week. This publication corresponds to my record of the day, so I plan to do it following the format that I have used before, which implies briefly recounting what has happened in the day to day of my #life and then commenting on some of the ephemeris from the #History of the day.

My day was good, I went out with my brother to buy vegetables at a nearby fair, actually I wasn't sure if it was still open today, because in other weeks they had managed to sell everything early in the week and they retired. But, we were lucky that they were still selling, so we bought what we needed at home. The fair wasn't as stocked as it must have been a couple of days ago, but it was still enough to meet our needs.

Es el último día del mes y también el último día de la semana laboral, sí, es viernes. En el calendario religioso cristiano es el llamado Viernes de Concilio, que da inicio a las celebraciones que marcan la Semana Santa. Esta publicación corresponde a mi registro del día, así que la pienso realizar siguiendo el formato que he usado ya con anterioridad, lo que implica relatar brevemente lo que ha ocurrido en el día a día de mi #vida y luego comentar sobre alguna de las efemérides de la #Historia del día.

Mi día estuvo bien, salí con mi hermano a comprar hortalizas en una feria cercana, en realidad no estaba seguro de que siguiera abierta el día de hoy, porque en otras semanas habían logrado vender todo temprano en la semana y se retiraban. Pero, tuvimos suerte de que aún estaban vendiendo, así que compramos de lo que nos faltaba en casa. La feria no estaba tan surtida como lo debe haber estado hace un par de días, pero de todas maneras era suficiente como para cubrir nuestras necesidades.

The weather for the day has been generally good, it's warm but not unbearably hot, I like that it's tropical heat with enough wind to make it cool. Apart from that, there is not much to tell about my day, it can be said that it was a good day, calm and pleasant.

By the way, thinking about today's #food purchases, it turns out that among the list of anniversaries I saw something I didn't know: today is World Potato Day. It is a date to extol the nutritional and cultural value of this tuber originated in the American Andes, whose importance in world nutrition stood out from the 16th century to the present.

El clima del día ha sido en general bueno, está cálido, pero no es un calor insoportable, me agrada que sea un calor tropical con suficiente viento como para que resulte fresco. Además de eso, no hay mucho que contar de mi día, se puede decir que fue un buen día, tranquilo y agradable.

Por cierto, pensando en lo de las compras de la #comida de hoy, resulta que entre el listado de las efemérides vi una cosa que no sabía, hoy es el Día Mundial de la Papa. Es una fecha para enaltecer el valor alimentario y cultural de ese tubérculo originado en los Andes Americanos, cuya importancia en la alimentación mundial se destacó desde el Siglo XVI hasta la actualidad.

The #potato is undoubtedly a very valuable and highly important food in the history of recent centuries, in fact, the export of the potato and its cultivation in Europe led, due to the lack of genetic variability, to be the cause of a great famine. It happened that when the potato was brought to Europe, it was discovered that it was well adapted for its cultivation and had a high profitability in its harvest, providing the poorest classes with a very good food source.

But, unlike what happens in the Andean highlands, in the large European crops there was only one type of potato, in the case of crops in the Andes, a great variety of these plants are cultivated and that gives greater food security. In the case of Europe, when a disease appeared that affected the crops, as they were all of the same type of potato, then the loss was total, the fields were devastated and the food source was lost. As an example of what I am saying, part of the migration from Ireland to the United States in the mid-19th century (1845-1849) due to the Great Irish Famine, originated from the loss of crops, in addition to the lack of support or support from the rulers.

Today, genetic diversity is valued much more, even though we still tend to favor crops and varieties that are more productive. I suppose that in the long run we humans forget the painful lessons of history and repeat the same mistakes. Anyway, that sounds very pessimistic, we better leave the record for today. I wish you that you are well and that we can read each other again another time.

La #papa es sin duda un alimento muy valioso y de alta importancia dentro de la historia de los siglos recientes, de hecho, la exportación de la papa y su cultivo en Europa llevó, debido a la carencia de variabilidad genética, a ser la causa de una gran hambruna. Sucedió que al llevar la papa a Europa, se descubrió que se adaptaba bien para su cultivo y se tenía una alta rentabilidad en su cosecha, proveyendo a las clases más pobres de una fuente de alimento muy buena.

Pero, a diferencia de lo que ocurre en el altiplano andino, en las grandes siembras europeas había solamente un tipo de papa, en el caso de los cultivos en los Andes, se cultivan una gran variedad de estas plantas y eso da una mayor seguridad alimentaria. En el caso de Europa, al presentarse una enfermedad que afectó los cultivos, como todos eran del mismo tipo de papa, entonces la pérdida fue total, los campos fueron arrasados y la fuente de comida se perdió. Como ejemplo de lo que digo, parte de la migración de Irlanda hacia los Estados Unidos a mediados del Siglo XIX (1845-1849) debida a la Gran hambruna irlandesa, se originó de la perdida de los cultivos, además de la carencia de soporte o apoyo por parte de los gobernantes.

En la actualidad, se valora mucho más la diversidad genética, a pesar de que todavía tendemos a favorecer los cultivos y las variedades que son más productivas, Supongo que a la larga los humanos olvidamos las lecciones dolorosas de la historia y repetimos los mismos errores. En fin, que eso suena muy pesimista, mejor dejamos el registro por hoy. Te deseo que tú estés bien y que nos podamos leer de nuevo en otra oportunidad.
