the that will shape the future of humanity, the small, it's new world, the a i raise, thoughts, march 16th on dw, the when it comes to making a planet future proof innovations are a great all states. what we can also do to the pos voice permission. welcome to eco africa. i'm 1st 11th coming to you from lagos, nigeria, and i am sandra co homes that we know video joining do from complex right here in uganda 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 sits on call being deforestation, livestock farmers and gone down to sustainable indigenous medicine. and an ice cream cause a exploring authentic african slaves as to the says coastal region is the demographic and economic background of the country. much of each of the culture is located along the coast to bond climate change has led to severe water shortages from us on low cost desperate full solutions. so decent a system thought use a see what to, to the fruits and vegetables could be the way for it. a growing 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. error of settlers returning from under lucio in the 17th century, set up small plots along the salt waterloo near the town of the 5 elements. finally got to see a retired teacher and farmer sun has long thought to keep this farming. traditional live. it relies on the tides to water. the crops a little 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 from the firm. sandy substrate to reach the roots of the crops, wouldn't be a month or so, but you'll have what we know that pressure water weighs less so it always stays above the salt water flu. so only think fresh water reaches the roots of the crops and the amount that you apply most the fresh water comes from rainfall in the hills . and that's how the plan. so if you're a gate anyway, usually the, 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, and this will do it on the gosh, the is preparing furrows ready to plant potatoes. each plot of land is no more than 4 meters wide and surrounded by reeds to protect it from wind and erosion. the natural irrigation system allows the farmers to grow crops all year round. 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 of the farmers can produce up to 20 tons of potatoes, beans, or onions per hector. each year. the vegetables are highly prized for the unique to me, but all the work has to be done by hand. it's tough going and many farmers have given up. lu zora nonsense has come to see ali garcey. 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 us food and agriculture organization. as a globally important agricultural heritage system because of a good sized certification is a key step in 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 keeping her 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, 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 seat of a lagoon would be by water. i don't know when we complain you tardies agreed to did channels under the road to lift the water through the hole just but very little water gets through. and that's affected the whole system on which our farms depend, to split them and apart from stopping such a building projects. so run off f wants to know what else could help motivate young people to take up this traditional farming method. i do not know 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 for organizing the workshops together with the world wide fund for nature and the human development program and the need. 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 cold vegetables and the cut to also drink those rights. sandra, billions of kind of yes, the suffering from severe hung up the price is partly due to global warming. around the codes, deforestation is also to blame, rather than simply telling people to stop chopping down trees while collective us develop a creative way to break about change. the music and festive f, mrs. soon attracts a crowd. the safe plumbing physically is performing today in the money in southern kenya. the play is about everyday hardship, environmental issues, and climate change. it's called me uncle,

that means decades. and so he was in the home with a hole in the 2 swedes through the last 40 years, starting 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 group 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 you 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 a reflection of your life. so from the reflection you can understand and always like, i mean, if you have a something i don't know if this then is painful, you know, to try to clear that. so this is exactly what we had to save ponies activists know . 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. big woman low gum, i have to buy the cabs milk because their mothers have no milk to suckle them. and one step i warn you, they don't even have the strength to stand up. they don't have the energy to graze on the field spa screen. chuck, i'm not sure, lee, what has to help them out today? he's assisted by some of david colored room. is active currency touring the area. i am a senior and we're here because we are working on a program, money environment. mostly what we're doing is looking at a community resilience to us climate change, as we can see that uh the way that part does that change. you can see that the claimant is not as it was somebody else, but for one, the drawing season is guessing is younger. sometimes it doesn't try and for months

on and now this is a group has invited locals to a workshop to talk about the troubles 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 people people, and that will keep people healthy. you don't enjoy yourself and go ahead and take them to the retired civil servants has planted a range of trees from pasadena to blue, come named 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. this is the group's latest tourist drawing to a close. now. besides kenya and g o aims to boost people's resilience and that the climate crisis and inspire them to find solutions the audience have got the message, the make it to me. 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 book, i think uh the, the things will change because there will be no more cutting down of trees. that if people get tree seedlings, they will plant them and the current situation will improve. i got to see how you

can now 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. 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? well, i'm next report. we have to nothing gone now. you have from us assigning test, exploring the benefits of applying to read both tennessee pos tend to be a good bomb, b is the 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, i knew go and gone as upper east region. animals are vulnerable to diseases like god, plague, livestock, dysentery, and parasitical infections that cause stomach bloating. once you have that you were to go and i'm not. i have williams in my stomach because i'm making them sick. got a new phone. so i have to get mahogany tree bog mixed up with other native hubs. you can give them several doses of a 3 days. oh, this mixture kills the ones with a new phone illness. some of the, 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 year has been studying the chemical and pharmaceutical properties of plans for some time now. off the course was to look out for what does the chemist cheap of the splunk. what is the ballots to us to get this of this plot and release them with the disease is stuck dease and thomas for them to be just clue to be cheating 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,

herders and other locals who recommend medicine sold and open markets like this one . young regulated misuse and over use of antibiotics can lead to high levels of antibiotic residues in animal products. and that can encourage antibiotic resistance, which affects the health of both livestock and people who consume animal products. meanwhile, 75 percent of live stock and gonna 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 with a company lead sledge and packaging was we provide this information where this project is it without. that wouldn't provide this evidence of disappointment. it says which a gauge that is used us. we are what you studied. we what we, what japan dots. these met says, final abuse just as good as

a participant in the project, simply because i'm being no longer has to rely on the plans 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 thought what de la, but you haven't taught you these plans. patients are hard to find out when you know what to do, and there aren't any more of them nearby. tons for the project is helping us to both planned and protect them so that when we need them that they'll be easily available to me this year to native plants, carnes or an eco friendly source of medicines for traditional practitioners. like to me, a give them 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 face the vision of those of too much vision equality needs to be dealt with all the global scale. yeah, 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, let's 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 dumb faster 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. but 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 will 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 to you for 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 ground bread is mixed with an enzyme that transforms the starch into sugar places, especially east phone guy 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 to get the all else people have been implying this method for the close to a century the they needed talk, sullivan, 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 complete a non toxic the goal of history such as to find an 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 punched in on one in separate ingredients and to find as tentative effects can not effecting ordered or is that in the deforestation mode. and that's

the main interest of the process homeless. those heats resistant and an expensive some $77000000.00 tons of it all produced each year. that's what makes com while the top selling vegetable oil in the world markets ahead of sweat under 8 feet. but palm oil is only cheap in financial times. the cost of people in the environment is high oil, palms may negro, interpret coal 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, we can use almost any food waste including rice tasks of uh, sweet potatoes and corn officers cups of the you can use all of the implant. i'm not just the edible pencil. so i'm even the coolant stores out by mice, and as on the solely beast, oil tastes very mild. so it can be used in almost anything the bakery when due to a big jump, one works can meet its need for the fence almost entirely with dale bread. but how could all the bakeries benefit from this discovery? i mean, when i pick a high twenty's, several bakeries can good 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 shift 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. so if you're going to succumb to temptation at least, do it sustainably. wow, that's really very delicious. and it's your fault is also bucks, food bugs, something very different. know who doesn't really love ice cream. and most of us have a red flag that might ease the stroke very slip. but i don't think i would actually find this in that coffee in cape town. so tough because, well, we're heading to next. so let's take a look at don. triple the, the welcome to stuff is that'd be a place where we should have been africa through, hadn't made hand to advice. if you're craving an old fashioned chocolate 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 sole government kindful.

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 continental africa, it get in call and goes above was under my low we have, you know, if west africa as well, typically people washouts or inside of the salt in is. but in discipline does we have to use the search and is to provide flavor for the ice cream to get tuffy caramel sold to you 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 shown the 36 year old molecular biologist loves to play with different flavors. so father is involved we and has created more than $600.00. each one more unique than the last top us sees his ice

cream as an ode to the african continent in a couple of separate that'd be your identity. when i go across the coincidence image or a full range of what they're going to miss 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. i'm over africa being used in different ways by different people. so we're talking like it was the disk is dial. uh, i guess a lot whole in jet. uh like is endless. yeah. so they've been something from the continent. probably. i want to try for the placements. i'm what starts it up 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 decala nice. 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 european, very european. so the way we dress, the foods we consume, if we farm and exports is really important to me that between grace yeah, look, i did, but what does ice be made out of dried fish? actually taste like i can do 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 name up within with a twist. i like the whole idea of like, economizing back into the home indigenous flavors in this, in this case,

to be off from the colonizing food culture and making africans proud of their own culture. natalie, history and identity. that's what's up to you, a goose, a stance full, and you've 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 week off we go. thank you for watching. i am a sandra holmes that we know the signing of from comp ah, right to in uganda by son dressing you again next week. add to all of us all day. if you have any ideas on how to make a plan that's a better place with or without the help of professional insights, the right to and share them with us. we love hearing from you. i am krista lives signing off from lee goes. nigeria,
