00:02On the global agricultural map, there are lands that, upon mere mention, evoke images
00:08of fertility, resilience and long tales of human bonds with the Mother Earth.
00:14From sweet fruit valleys to windy plateaus rich in vitality, each place harbours its
00:21own secret to producing food that sustains billions of people.
00:30In today's video, I invite you to embark on a journey to explore the world's most famous
00:37agricultural lands, places where nature and humanity come together and compose stories
00:44of abundance.
00:52California emerges as a bountiful valley where earth and sky seem perpetually aligned in the
00:58farmer's eyes.
00:59The vast, endless fields here supply up to two thirds of the nation's fruit and nut production.
01:12Vineyards stretch endlessly, producing 98% of the country's table grapes and 90% of its wine,
01:19wine, exuding a gentle fragrance under the warm sun.
01:30Not far away, strawberry rose, which account for 88% of national production, glow red and
01:37Plump, as if distilled from California's sunlight.
01:49In dry areas, 98% of pistachios are born.
01:54This state's pistachios are renowned for their distinctive crunchy sweeteners.
02:05Interspersed amongst them are vibrant red tomato fields, comprising 90% of the US production.
02:13All of this creates a California that is both abundant and full of vitality.
02:28Switzerland's climate spans from subtropical to Arctic, giving each region's landscape its
02:34unique character.
02:45The pastures here spread like an endless green carpet, occupying three quarters of the agricultural
02:52land.
02:54On those grassy slopes, dairy herds graze leisurely, leaving the familiar tinkling of bells in the
03:12wind.
03:16From those herds, Switzerland's renowned cheeses and dairy products are crafted, carrying the
03:23cool, fresh flavour of the Alps.
03:38In the lowlands, where grains and sunflowers are cultivated, the air becomes warmer and lighter,
03:44lighter, carrying the gentle scent of earth and flowers.
04:04The Netherlands unfolds like a kingdom of colours, where flower fields burst into bloom under the
04:12clear blue sky.

07:16in global production.
07:28Further afield, orange groves resemble glowing orbs, filling the space with sweet scents and vibrant colours.
07:36One third of the world's oranges come from these gardens.
07:49Brazil also features the lush green soybean rose, radiating abundant vitality.
08:06In Russia's frigid far north, where snow covers nearly year round, the ground is as hard as stone, and field
08:14cultivation is nearly impossible without greenhouses.
