your package, the manage, the code is spots affinities. check on some great cultural memorials to boot w travel regarding the when it comes to making a planet future proof innovations are a great offsets what we can also do to the pos voice permission. welcome to eco africa. i'm crystal, i'm coming to you from lagos, nigeria, and i am sandra co homes that we know video joining do from com, pull out right here in you're going to on the show with find out how traditional

methods can offer us as 2 days problems. so here is a quick look at what we have coming down how a visa company in kenya is changing mine. so it's odd, coughing, deforestation. live stokes, almost gone down to sustainable indigenous medicines and an ice cream coffee, exploring authentic africans lenses, diseases. coastal region is the demographic and economic background of the country . much of each of the culture is located along the coast to bought climate change has led to severe what the shortages from us on the locals, desperate for solutions of additional system thought. use a see what to, to the fruits and vegetables could be the way for it. are going potatoes here is only possible for all the gods. see, thanks to

a centuries old farming method known as romilly, which means on sand. if you need to, this end the region surrounded by salt water onto easiest north coast. air of settlers returning from under lucio in the 17th century, setup small plots along a salt waterloo near the town of the pod element. finally got to see a retired teacher and farmer son has long, fucked to keep this farming tradition alive. it relies on the tides to water. the crops in the middle, middle of the salt water comes in from them. if it's a rainy and with the tide, once it reaches a certain level, it pushes the thin layer of fresh water up through the firm. sandy substrate to reach the reach of the crops with the amount the sub you'll have what we know that fresh water waste last. so it always stays above the salt water. so only think fresh water reaches the roots of the crops on the amount that you fly, the most. the fresh water comes from rain falling in the hills. and that's how the

plan. so if you're a gate anyway, usually at the, we never water them from above and we wouldn't be able to go there. we don't have any wells here or reservoir. so this will do all the gosh. c is preparing furrows ready to plant potatoes. each plot of land is no more than 4 meters wide and a surrounded by reeds to protect it from wind and erosion. the natural irrigation system allows the farmers to grow crops all year round, as no additional watering is required. and there are other advantages to no pesticides are needed. the salty soil is a natural deterrent for most pest. the farmers can produce up to 20 tons of potatoes, beans, or onions per hector. each year. the vegetables are highly prized for their unique to me, but all the work has to be done by hand. it's tough going, and many farmers have given up. zora nonsense has come to see all the gods see.

she's the president of the local farming and fisheries association. she spent 2 years working to get the rom, lee method, certified by the u. n. food and agriculture organization. as a globally important agricultural heritage system. a business have a good sized certification, is a key step and upgrading the value of the produce. it will allow farmers to sell it in major supermarkets for a higher price with a label like the one for other organic food. it's the only way to encourage the farmers to keep going and still keep the home. but i always, after all, this is organic food and it's more expensive to produce. and then with conventional farming, it has a boozy to the acceleration of climate change along with unregulated urban sprawl. and growing tourism infrastructure along the coast have all affected the area. and now the water no longer reaches all of the wrongly plots at high tide.

difficult when they built the road right through the middle of the lagoon. it was obvious that water coming in from the sea to the lagoon would be by water. i don't know when we complain you tardies agreed to did channels under the road to let the water through the ocean, but very little water gets through. and that's affected the whole system on which our farms depend. look to split the limit apart from stopping such a building projects zone round off. f wants to know what else could help motivate young people to take up this traditional farming method. it did not move how we're trying to encourage the farmers not to sell their plots. we arrange training courses to show them how they can adapt to the new situation via or organizing workshops together with the world wide fund for nature and the human development program. it allows me, we also give the people subsidies to encourage them to keep farming via me, photos via the potatoes from adi guards. these plots show the work is worth while

he's hoping to persuade the 300 other farmers in the region to hold fast to the romilly tradition and preserve their heritage. can you tell us been struggling with the route for the kids? and the situation is becoming more and more bleak food stamp a to dry and to hard to plant cooked vegetables. and the cuts will also drink those rights. sandra, billions of pen. yes, the suffering from severe hung up the price is partly due to global warming. but rather cold deforestation is also to blame, rather than simply telling people to stop shopping don't freeze while collective us develop a creative way to break about change. the music and 1st of edmund's fears soon attracts a crowd. the safe plumbing physically is performing today in the money in southern kenya. the play is about every day hardship, environmental issues,

and climate change. it's called me uncle, that means decades. and so he was in the home with a whole another to it swedes through the last 40 years staffing in 1981 when nature here was still intact, but use of deforestation have followed to feed the taco industry. what will things look like in the future? the manager david, come to me, takes the audience on a johnny. where did we go wrong? he asked, what can we do differently to ensure the next 10 years will be best to the story ends in the year 20 says he want to just be people on the mirror for them to see that this is exactly what i'm doing. so what can i do? so it has been, it's just reflection of your life. so from the reflection, you can understand a noise like a mirror if you have a something i don't know if this then is painful, you know, to try to clear that that. so this is exactly what we had to save pon is active as

snow. people here are faced with x, a central problems chuck, how much a lee was sold in this village, a 2 hour drive from a bus with his 50 castle. but now his hood is dying of starvation. take one of them . oh grandma, i have to buy the cabs milk because their mothers have no milk to suckle them. one by one year. they don't even have the strength to stand up. they don't have the energy to graze on the field spa screen. chuck, how much lee? well has to help them up today. he's assisted by some of david colored. them is active county touring the area. i am a senior and we're here because we are working on a program on the bottom. it's mostly what we're doing is looking at the community to resilience, to escalate that change as we can see that the, the way of that part does that change. you can see that the claimant is not as it

was. somebody has buck for one. the dry season is guessing longer. sometimes it doesn't train for months on and now this is a group has invited locals to a workshop to talk about the troubles, to join the team, hopes participants can post on what they learn here to other villages. and i one of them is 68 year old kid. i'll walk, you told me. hello, courtney somebody. let me does. everyone plans the treaties or it will be good for the environment. when i see the apple living conditions will be better to connect to people and that will keep people healthy and enjoy yourself and go ahead and take them to. the retired civil sevens has planted a range of trees from pasadena to blue gum name trees. they provide shade and protect the ground from drawing out local spelled trees to clear the line for agriculture, but that makes the ground even dryer. so how best to put the end

up resulting to selling charcoal, but that's made from trees. so they locked in a vicious circle in the workshops, facilitated by parent n g o safe, kenya, the safe quantity team helps locals, develop alternatives up to 2 months of consultations and conversations. the face of groups latest tour is drawing to a close. now, besides kenya and g o aims to boost people's resilience and meet the climate crisis and inspire them to find solutions. the audience have got the message, the bank is not live with whom i think. i have learned that when we manufacture charcoal, it has many negative effects on our land. it might that i'm a cool, well, that'd be good. the things will change because there will be no more cutting down of trees. and if people get tree seedlings,

they will plant them and the current situation will improve. i got you. how can i work you to me is also among the audience history planting has often been marked by his neighbors. no, he's been vindicated. and he's determined to keep plans in new trees. and hopes move villages will follow his lead. it's the only way they can secure the future. is one of the big criticisms of mode informing its emphasis on the widespread use of antibiotics for treating livestock base can lead to an empty buck to real resistance in both animals and people. but what's the alternative for next report? we had to nothing gone. no. you have from us assigning test, exploring the benefits of applying to read both tennessee pos

tend to be a good bundle is do you warming has heard today? the live stock farmer uses indigenous medicines and herbal remedies, all based on knowledge passed down to him by his grandparents. here in the past on google, when gunners upper east region, animals are vulnerable to diseases like gold plague, livestock, dysentery, and parasitical infections that cause stomach loading. well, if you have that you will call and then when a man i have looms in my stomach because i'm making them sick. got a new phone. i see. so i have to get mahogany tree box. i'm mixed up with other native hubs. you can give them several doses of a 3 days on this mixture, kills the ones with a new phone. and some of this knowledge of them, additional properties of plants and herbs is invaluable. both for the regions, farmers and their herds. and for researchers, that's because to be a good time beer, this part of a major interdisciplinary project to implement f no veterinary medicine and gone

a at the center for plant medicine research in the town of men pump acquired them not far from the capital lacrosse scientists. are investigating the healing properties of native plants the government originally established the facility to provide alternative health care to local people. now it's carrying out research into animal health. but the laboratory here has been studying the chemical and pharmaceutical properties of plans for some time now. also, of course, was to look out for what is the chief of the splunk. what is the, what's the activities of these plants and released them with the disease is the same pharmacy, or you know, beaches clue to be treating with in gun a 10 percent of live stocks to come to disease in

a country with few trained veterinarians, farmers often rely on the advice of tabel harder and other locals who recommend medicine sold and open markets like this one. young regulated misuse and over use of anti hot ex can lead to high levels of antibiotic residues and animal products. and that can encourage antibiotic resistance, which affects the health of those live stock, and people who consume animal products. meanwhile, 75 percent of live stock, and donna are resistant to the antibiotics used to treat them. at the same time, many live stock owners don't trust durable medicines which aren't scientifically tested and don't come with a company leaflet. and packaging was, we provide this information with this projects. if you don't want to provide this a good, there is a disappointment. it says which a gauge that is used us. we are what you studied. we what we want to kind of duck.

these met says, final vicious output as a participant in the project, simply because i'm doing no longer has to rely on the plants in the forest. the project gave him exclusive use of an herb garden to remember that he's one of a selected group of herbalists who are receiving support from the s no veterinary medicine project. on this protected patch of land, he's planting a variety of native plants including mahogany and oak trees and dogwood doll. uh, but you have to you, these plans. patients are hard to find out like when you know what to do, and there aren't any more of them nearby that. that's why the project is helping us to both planned and protect them. so that when we need them, but it will be easily available to me. god is here to native plants, carnes or an eco friendly source of medicines for traditional practitioners like to me, a good bomb. the, if this project catches on, gone, could become a 4 runner in f. no veterinary medicine for the waste is

a big issue on our planet. while the people faced the vision of those of too much vision equality needs to be dealt with all the global scale. the absolutely crease it. yeah. really one slot or full for useful. human consumption is lost west. it was white. you know, next report we had to germany to see how food was kind of at least be transformed into something really useful. let's find a sale. fred, in germany around $1700000.00 tons of a goods off for a new weight each year. some gets fed to animals or turns into bio gas, but much ends up rushing away. the don't feel kind of because we're a small bakery like us. it's about 10 percent less. but at industrial bakeries in supermarkets, roughly 30 percent just gets tossed, that they can do to evict ship. why has found a way to recycle his old bread?

p does it using the bakery ovens risk that you owe heat? so he doesn't waste energy either. the roasted bread is then ground. it's now a valuable commodity. just what professor thomas books from unix technical university needs. the i brought the price supplies solid and liquid, seen and don't think it will use them for donuts. it's the season doesn't look good . i made for you this. you must have a wonderful i don't think it with me now. there's some extra links done by at the technical university of munich biochemist must mood months or he has developed a method to extract oil from old bread. first, the gram bread is mixed with an enzyme that transforms the starch into sugar

places, especially east fung. dyer will be added that fee to the sugar that you said it would be small at the beginning. and it's of odd shape. when it starts to eating more, sugar would be more around and coming think it's something l as the oil, 2 sides some small, a budget because the big buddies we have now. and then the next step would be to destroy that said was and get the own else. people have been employing this method for the close to a century. they needed toxic solvents to access the oil. then mastery discovered an enzyme that cuts open the some will the beast, the enzyme derived from a mushroom. this enzyme is completely non toxic. the goal of history such as to find in the eco friendly alternative to palm while it's used in almost every product. every 2 brought back on the she has the one of them content on one separate ingredients and defined as tentative projects can not effecting ordered or

is up in deforestation mode. and that's the main interest of the process. homeless both heat resistant and an expensive some 77000000 tons of it all produced inch. yeah. that's what makes com while the top selling vegetable oil on the wells market ahead of sweat under 8 feet. but palm oil is only cheap in financial times. the cost to people in the environment is high oil palms, many grow in tropical regions. that launched ways to bring forest chopped down to accommodate them, contributing to climate change by contrast, blonde is not required to produce e style. all it takes is a fermentation tank, like the ones used to make b a and it works with things other than old bread. this

isn't complex, but we'll start, we're completely self sufficient. when it comes to rule materials music, we can use almost any food lice, including rice costs of uh, sweet potatoes and corn. uh, is this cuts off the you can use all of implant. i'm not just the edible pencil, it's on even the cooling stokes, out by mice does on the solid waste oil tastes very mild, so it can be used in almost anything the bakery way ludo big joe one works can meet its need for offense almost entirely with dale bread. but how could all the bakeries benefit from this discovery? mainly because high 20 some, something several bakeries couldn't get together to buy a film and taishan saying, can you see how much east oil they can produce from the lift, the bread. that way the risk isn't so great, and at some point everyone might be able to use their own bread to make french fries at home. why not? i don't let me, let me just get back on the phone. this new to the big ship blind uses the fresh

east oil to make a special treat. the recycled oil is used in the dose plays. i'm spelling of the chocolate brioche. ready so if you're going to succumb to attempt taishan, at least, do it sustainably. wow, that's really very delicious. and it's your fault is also about food bought something very different. know what does it mean a lot of ice cream. and most of us have a have for it's live that might ease the stroke very split up. but i don't think i would actually find this in the coffee in cape town. so tough because, well, we're heading to next. so let's take a look at bon tripled, the, the welcome to a place where we should have been africa through, hadn't made hand to advice. if you're craving an old fashion to chunk that strawberry or not the ice cream cone, you're looking in the wrong place here at the top. the top is that the ice cream

flavors on spied by african super fluids like tiger, not sol government, ty, apple. this little ice cream shop and cape tons alternative bobo observe, which we saw that is no longer a hidden gym, just for locals to p. what changes the flavors every week and there anything but vanilla? so they're making cup into efficient tuffy actually. so this is a little efficient as it gets in the continental africa, it getting comb goes about with them being below we have, you know, of west africa as well. typically people washouts or inside the salt in is. but in this point, as we have to these are the thoughts and is to provide flavor for the ice cream. so get tuffy caramel sold to kind of by the name copy. toppy is a play on google's 1st name, but it also means sweet sweet in his mother tongue showing up. the 36 year old molecular biologist loves to play with different flavors so far this in bob we and

has created more than 600. each one more unique than the last top us sees his ice cream as an ode to the african continent in a couple of that'd be, that'd be you identity when i go across the coincidence, i mean, drew a full range of what the contents of in terms of flavors and i like separating the similarities and highlighting and celebrating the differences we have as a people in the continent as well. yeah. say find ingredients on model of africa being used in different ways by different people. so we're talking like it was the i bisk is dial. uh, but i guess a lot whole in jet. uh like it's endless. yeah. so they've been something from the continent probably going to try particularly for me some what starts adults as a hobby has now become tough, t was full time job and passion, by creating an afrocentric menu, well disrupting traditional food culture. he wants to spock a dialogue about africa's di, both history and lifestyle, and do you call on eyes the mindset of cape towns,

foods. so i'm interested in creating conversation around going back to the foods that involves with the people in the land of his continents, over the thousands and many thousands of tens of thousands of years. what's often the case on the continent is we take moments to be black, but the rest of our lives is very, you're being very european. so the way we dress the fluids we consume, if we farm and exports is really important to me that it's between brace, they're, look, i did, but what does ice be made out of dried fish? actually taste like i can do like a salting this of the fish, as well as like the rich sweetness and the factory nose from like the caramel and the tough feet. it's like a familiar move up within with a twist. i like the whole idea of like,

economizing back into the home indigenous flavors. and basically this case to the, from the colonizing food culture and making africans proud of their own color. natalie, history and identity. that's what he goes. this stands for and he's got plenty of ideas up his sleeve, b a and liquor on next on his experimentalist. well, that has suddenly given me food full thoughts and i hope it has for you as well. that's it for this week's edition of equal africa. thank you for watching. i am a sandra holmes, the tween of you signing goals from com. paula, right in uganda. by sunrise. see you again next week. add to all of us all day. if you have any ideas on how to make up line, that's a better place with or without the help of for additional insights, the right to and share them with us. we love hearing from you. i am christa lives
