11:30 am
you really understand that so easily file uh we will lose our concepts, euro my done dots, february 17th on t w. the extreme weather conditions are affecting almost every parts of the globe. we are in these together. so why not lawn from each other and pull on knowledge to address real problems. welcome to a new edition of equal africa, i and son drug a holmes, that we nobody will write to income prolong you've done that. i sandra, i agree, one area we help is certainly needed is an accurate code. so how can we improve our food security more on thought lead time,
11:31 am
chris olives coming to you from lee goes nigeria, here's what's coming up. a modem, a 3 environmental lease, then can you 6 to rescue the iconic ball about almost his pain show how vegetables can flourish despite the drought and the uganda pharma aiming to chain to wells. the help of the slow food movement as you know, we'll roll about solutions here on a co offer car. so how about these 4, a great idea? the human development program got us up inventions from all over the globe that promotes sustainable development. and they shows them just where they are needed in getting a one initiative is targeting remote, rural communities who enough balance to benefit from a whole catalog of solutions. a cheap to some of the most remote
11:32 am
areas of getting. this is a 1st for the team from the u. n. d p ex and event to not equipped with the digital math in the database of sustainable projects. they are here to implement local people about potential solutions to problems. so they may be facing the 1st top is the village of could be of the fuel on luckily at a loss to what he has got to run through. there are 91 of these accelerator lab teams working in 114 countries across the globe. as you all said, also today you can access and learn from people who found solutions to problems all over the world. set us up some problems, we will have to wait for a solution, but there does seem to be a potential and so forth to supply issues. thanks for the digital map, which is accessible online. say, say i'm on time. they say they're not for me to be on the follow up,
11:33 am
but as long as you, we don't pretend to have all the answers, but what we did share with them right away lot. the 1st solution that we presented was a water collection base, a little bit run off base and uh, this is already used in booking a fast, but it hasn't been introduced here in cold. yeah. it is. it is the okay. yeah. most of them are, i spent 2 years talking don't innovations across the country like be some from but the equity voltage by the 80 cycles plastic with breaking it down into particles. and then building solid puddles, which are then used to make a bio. they just like these blue balls, it is used to be called fossil gutted, was created for the laser as well as we think gus, which can be comforted and put to use. second, what we're asking for is help with getting our capital, which i've almost been filed. in fact, some have been filed points, that's the only thing, and we'd like reassurance that our products won't be duplicated without our
11:34 am
consensus. 5 different k sound lot cost once a month or what's the commercial lease since and asks questions for you needs to ensure the product fits like celebrate and loves criteria. he and his team are looking for ideas that are innovative, community oriented, easily transfer about their country, so sufficient and democracy move approved accelerates, and love with have but typically for keith obtain a patent on find funding. it extends innovation will be integrated into a loves that the best so that it can be shared with the communities who could benefit from it. once most like a model receives fruits an agreement from an innovator. he adds the solution to a global map which use his gun access online. no. who in the these days a lot of decisions are made at the macro level. so cool, but many of our communities fall through the cracks because these decisions don't reach side, okay? so at the bottom of life, or even if they do,
11:35 am
they don't take the communities aspirations into account fence and so we have to play that role. not in full is was so all together with a team of volunteer engineering students. let's look them out or you tons to feed the, to visit the village are always struggling to be to get a lunch due to rising temperatures. hot, just a dumb talk. god. the yellow is keen to see if the ronald best in which she discovered on the online month during the recent meeting might be a solution. she shows the team 2 possible places it could go sometimes i don't know, but we thought we could do it here. the team needs to conduct the facility assessment and then find a way to implement the solution. i'd like to throw that out for you. that's how fast will monday they won't be able to. they'll go up and pass on the information set you up on a fits accepted the don't let us know. next,
11:36 am
the team heads to upland. titian which is suffering from an institution. one of the engineers showed the farm as a natural insecticide, which has on the x to the right to a lot of smaller companies. that's composed of got a cheated paper oil. and so it is bought simple and cost effective functions that really does cost just $1.00 euro as opposed to 5 euro's for the same amount of kind of close. yeah, the problem us with no, she has the knowledge with the local people and she owns. yeah. even if we're in concrete, we can call them and they'll be able to help, even if they're not agronomist, then can you start on file? is that going on? and now it's time for the lot team to move on. together with precious problem beating the information. the, the hope to share with as many people as possible. amazing. we think they help local knowledge and corporation can provide real help at the local level, which brings us to our next story. this low food movement was found that nearly 40
11:37 am
years ago in italy and is now a global organization. a lot is why crease a bunch of it's vision is to, to gave every human being access to food that is produced locally. that is one big vision on last year assignment, and i'm going to miss the right to in uganda, took over as the new international president. so let's me to he knows his way around the local market of edward mckee state here in the italian city at the slow food university. now he's heading up the movement, but uh, helped also for me to interact with the coach as other people, but also to understand the historical back place of skill, food and weight or begun. the slow food movement started in italy in 1986, a country known for its wine and hazelnut, as well as
11:38 am
a plethora of other delectable specialties. right from the start. it was a grass roots movement. it's visionary founder, carlo patrina took up the fight against fast to chains, along with a group of activists in 2022. edward mckenzie took over it settings to take uh of uh, uh, lead us from such a big thing that i caught up at the beginning. but to me it's also i look at the details, the lining up with unity. i feel like i have a lot to offer. i have a lot of experience to share with the road from my communities, from my country, from my quentin intended that we this is the only way we kind of breeds that if i'm growing up between the north end the so the slow food movement promotes local produce and fair trade, rejecting the trend towards fast food. farmers seek to preserve bio diversity in their fields. they work with traditional crump varieties and farming methods and
11:39 am
respect animal welfare. traditional methods are also used in food manufacturing. over the years, the organization has expanded its reach to a remarkable 160 countries the, to me as an african from the event that sort of for the means address for the network that is supporting and working with local communities for beautiful. so what i need to, we walk with the communities of families, communities of young people, communities, so the indigenous people slow food came to uganda in 2006, 2 years later, edward were keeping joins in network. his own family lives from farming, like many in his village she, saga as a child, he often had to work in the fields. i was forced to do a good culture as a punishment at school. a back to this punishment stands out to be my
11:40 am
lifetime passion and driving force to make a change. he knows all the slow food farmers in the area like know, well, and then you and john. she mostly grows vegetables, including rare varieties, and takes care to avoid, mano cultures, sort of would good then. so we embrace the, the rusty and our guidance. we also make sure that we try to protect our plants. so we to the risk of extinction. do they provide for the security slow food? uganda has over 30000 members and is active in many areas. the organization has different facets, including slow food gardens, as low food use, network farmers 1st markets with local produce and a so called alliance for chefs and cooks. during the, the quick science, the 1st thing is, uh, the quote should have is the design. yeah. on the waiting list to make
11:41 am
a change in the system like bedding, a condo, she runs a catering service. her journey with slow food spends 7 years during which she is focused on the art of crafting traditional dishes, traditional foods that really help us to really em verisk to more of our culture. and to give us a sense of belonging. i really sound good for this low food that they are trying to views, culture to empower us in foods, to have that to go to that. it's not to wash that with. it's passing on this culture of local produce and organic farming that edward mckee sees as his main task through restaurants, through product, uh, funds, uh through uh, software guidelines in africa through many of the initiatives like uh, the software use. how kind of means we are able to reach out to so many people because the only way that the, i know they do in the how the food we eat under the system under which it spread,
11:42 am
use these affecting the planet. now i have is when we kind of make better choices, many of the slow food farmers and you're going to have achieved more food security . thanks to adopting this peek a logical method. and edward will, katie is happy to help them in making their choices what on east duration of guy, growing food sustainably and safe go hunting? food security is becoming f a motion, aging farmers, especially right here. i'll forget having to cope with extreme paint and long periods of dropped the situation in solid. the new is not much better, but fall most in one part of spain, of finding ways to beat the drought and still see the beds dibels thrice. pete and drought. spain's agriculture was once again, left high and dry last year. but this is also spain. it rarely rains here,
11:43 am
but there is water and even plenty of tomatoes. why is that? i am not going to see and even the relatively dry conditions that we have in spain, especially on the mediterranean. i think it's quite advantages to grow through the doing greenhouse as secure, so we'll do all of them and other. oh dear, how awful? the classic reaction when it comes to the vast plastic landscapes of hell, maria. well, oranges, olives, and greens, dried up elsewhere, vegetables for europe ro here almost all year round. this region has always been dry, which is why farmers together with the engineers make the best of what little water they do have, including with the help of sensors and software. so the americans, what we achieve here in the greenhouse is, is a 20 to 30 percent water saving 20 percent less fertilizer and 30 percent less electricity. no doubt. all that then if your technology helps farmers on the whole region to be more sustainable, you gotta go monica
11:44 am
a sandwich on my. so things in the green houses, farmers do everything they can to save water. this tomato grower, for example, doesn't use sensors or even swell. instead he puts the plants into a substrate at them all. and now this way, we save 20 percent of the voltage that we would otherwise have wasted, plus the puddle lines, events, and now they do it frequently, something that could be any the irrigated greenhouse. this is an idea from the 19 sixty's franco dictatorship in a region where hardly anything grew. thousands of families tried their luck on a single hector of land is done as little pain out of his parents were among them. together with his wife on par. oh, he still runs his small family distance. the green peppers are currently in demand and you'll see see that probably the movie and we and we, it's a pretty good living. i'm the all the greenhouse is of improve the lives of atl,
11:45 am
90 percent of all marines and double comes on the day that i ended up getting ready prosperity and less water consumption to good reasons for the greenhouse is but so far farmers have been growing more or less the same things. field vegetables such as medicine, broccoli have yet to thrive under cover. but there's one exception. this firm, which grows punctually under plastic, highly automated, with a closed water cycle. it seems 50 percent on water and fertilizer compared to growing the vegetables out doors and it's a little bit i'm off to the full full head. we have 3.2 heck to so yeah. if possible. and we have 9 harvest spaces a yeah. i mean, in the field, they managed 2 or 3 phases on the same area i go by. this greenhouse is efficiency, regardless of which vegetable is being grown, is crucial to buy and i must be still going into the base at the building. the
11:46 am
greenhouse is costs around a $150000.00 euros the heck to those are not all vegetable types. can recruit those costs for the cost, the auto store skill, there are attempts to grow larger crime center plastic such as these battalions. and these applies for scientists, this is just to start getting been a little and i think the better control of claremont, the conditions on those tests will ensure a better production on quality. that's why i believe that more profit will be made . and therefore, higher profit debility, even if you feel the part of the open w a one scarce commodity is crucial for success under plastic water. even if you need less than you would growing food in a field, still growing more than $32000.00 heck, there is one of the vegetables requires a lot of water. in this case, it comes from a seawater desalination plant, which has to work 24 hours a day to out of the meanwhile, the other we see
11:47 am
a lot of development on production in the region would be unthinkable without this planned work. it because the ground water at the pharmacy used to use a salty hand. i was setting the saddle by expanding wind and solar power and stain, more and more sea water may be the celebrated affordably and sustainable in the future. but that only works on the coast. if water prices rise overall greenhouse, this will also become more interesting outside of the l maria region. wow, just a simple idea, but what difference it makes? well, the reason will, there is a way on this protell goodness knows all about that. he's a volunteer fighting to help nature cope with the dropped on the other side of the mediterranean in libya. kit is this week's doing a bit of the trees at the home. our conference nearly be is coastal city of outcomes are
11:48 am
healthy, even though there's been almost no rain here. it's all thanks to the same been saucy and environmental enthusiast who cares for the trees personally. okay. that lead time and that some of you what i've noticed in recent years that there's no follow up after trees are planted and i don't know you wouldn't the saplings that not water did not lead them. so i decided in 2019 and you know that we need follow up in these meet forrest asian campaigns are when once the trees have been planted, can we take care of them so that they survive? the libby is badly affected by climate change from extreme rainfall and slides to drought and deserted vacation. the north african country has seen it all. the hallmark of forest was in a poor state to on to whose st and saucy and other volunteers began. watering the trees and then how, yeah, do you have the hearing, the voice been able to breathe life back into the source to are continuous,
11:49 am
follow up of irrigating the trees on how down comes, what it says saved, and let them grow up some 3000 or 4000 trees that up the 65 year old has been involved in numerous reforestation campaigns and loves to pass on his knowledge to the next generation. he's busy watering hundreds of trees and has no plans to retire. if he's your more, i know he has, there is effort involved. it's a struggle and exhausting work. when i see a tree growing, this motivates me to continue watering the tree and use them both inside and outside the forest. colorado. kind of staying on the subject of cheese, the bill by the can be found in large parts of off again. for many these trees have deep speeches significance, so often a full point for gatherings. the fruits,
11:50 am
seeds, and leaves also solved as a source of healthy food. indeed, both tragically climate change is having a devastating impact on the bulb ups on box. no, the only threats they face, we had to kenya now, way environment to least a work in to rescue these beautiful tree. a ball bub tree. you can store from a lot, we need to survive long periods of ground for centuries. the so called cheese will for life play the key role with a new village communities along the canyon coast. now. so we have threatened by kindly change. and also the last year, each valve up to full several century school with exported to georgia for planting the pop built by former georgia and prime minister. this led to public outcry in kenya. how'd you come to abroad? something here, but there's more than 20300. yes,
11:51 am
i'm ticket that way. what are you actually saying to us? you do? well, harry, q rada grew up here on the coast. you can least decode too much in your life without bo bonds. all the trees in particular that lee, i'm important rule for the music in the community. this tree is several 100 years old. it has spiritual significance for local people. if we have this out, um, if we have, what about the liabilities? we will come on to make progress on the above up see as big as this one. it is one very important element. but as i said, symbol is the place to where we communicate to go on. many of the problems that we have been solved on the above up to environmental activist effect. chelsea is on the mission to protect bob up trees. for years he's been
11:52 am
fighting to ensure the survive. the double 3 is one. see which other countries call it the tree of life. because one, the back of the 3 is maybe seen on the lives i usually for the fall. and that is this what of everything and that tree is useful on something else. it has named it just on ages, which means it is very nutritional and it is not like a genetically modified hopefully policy is show that the a be exported. well, he says the real problem is form is an investor's son involved, but cheese along the coast to make room for culture and construction. he regularly talks to people about the trees, importance. they stole carbon dioxide and provide nutrients. well, why did range or species insects and back thrive on the flowers while making
11:53 am
different. hence the nickname, loankey bread tree. farmer mcdonald, knew that was not aware of any of that. when he had several of his trees failed. a are not a good for somebody regret that we weren't told anything by the government because they don't inform us as follow up. i would watch a lot all the benefit or the trees, you know a, b, c, this. yeah. so that we can understand better abc the book i do watch wound on depending on the size. if sales tree comes such between the equivalent of 502-1100 euro's good money for a local phone, but a living tree can on the phone. last fall more. it's rich contains a large range of utilities and minerals in powerful. it's in high demand international, the super from the, from itself, so popular in kenya. betsy cods will, can you me as a teacher and sells them on the side that burns an equivalent of $69.00 euros per
11:54 am
month. a considerable boost to have a teaching salary of 200. you lose a little cooler level by the food and also opportunity. as for earning money to me, i need to get too much of the page. i don't think the little money that we are given for cutting down a tree cut in any way compared to the benefits we gain from it. you know, does it for you? does it look like an old flush eltic to see also visit schools and cubic feet? to raise awareness about the trees? i'm only giving people, he tells them about the significance with a new quote. because the statement on choose how to present them correctly. when to have a community that that stands bit about the environment, how community that most, that they can be able to make a living from environmental uh, fix the the do i see a full cost in planting 1000000 for trees and funded exclusively county. what
11:55 am
a future that uh schools indicates the county how foot or saturday it's an emissions plan, which the activities is pursuing with determination. together with students, he's planted more than $200000.00 trees so far. and we wish them all the best of that. it's time to say good bye. thanks for joining us today. do take out eco africa online for great stories and ideas. i improve the lens and lagos, nigeria, to buy keys as see you again next week, and all of you agreed to hobby alone will be back next week with the whole new shell. i am sandra holmes, that we know do a flight and go from comp law, right to a new gun to buy the
