things that i was just, i keep spending, i'm going to use the process to a blank do lots of applications. i don't even get a for a station id of design. what i'm doing that right now. the when it comes to making a planet to, to proof innovations are a great offsets, what we can also move to the pos ways permission. welcome to eco africa. i press the lens coming to you from lagos, nigeria, and i am sandra co homes that we know video joining do from complex right to in you're going to on the show. we'll 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 coffee, 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. 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. error of settlers returning from under lucio in the 17th century, set up small plots along the salt waterloo near the town of the pod element. finally got to see a retired teacher and farmer sun has long thought to keep this farming tradition alive. 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 through the firm, sandy substrate to reach the reach of the crops with me about the sub. you'll have what we know that fresh water weighs 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 rainfall in the hills. and that's how the plan. so if you're a gate anyway,

usually at 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 so those are the garcey 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, 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 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 only method certified by the u. n. food and agriculture organization. as a globally important agricultural heritage system. a business have a good kaiser to vacation 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 keep me 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 them and 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 mean how were trying to encourage the farmers not to sell their plot. we arrange training courses to show them how they can adapt to the new situation via or 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. so sale a to dry and too hot to plant cold vegetables and the cut to 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 episodes 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 inside a healy or the home with a hole in the to it sweeps through the last 40 years, staffing in 1981 when nature here was still intact. but use of deforestation have follow to be the taco industry. what will things look like in the future? the good 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 good 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 doesn't mean it's just a 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. so this is exactly what we had to save pon is active as snow

. people here are faced with x, a central problems chaka. modul 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, how much of lee? what has to help them up today? he's assisted by some of david colored. them is active currency touring the area. i am a senior and we're here because we are working on a program, an environment. mostly what we're doing is looking at the community resilience to us climate change. as we can see that the, the way that part does that change. you can see that the claimant is northeast was

somebody else, but for one, the dry season is guessing hunger. sometimes it doesn't drain for months on and now this is a group has invited locals to a workshop to talk about their troubles, to join the team, hopes participants can posts on what they learn here to other villages. yes, i know. 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 to 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, 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 help is 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 meet the climate crisis and inspire them to find solutions. the audience have got the message, the, make it 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 3 siblings,

they will plant them and the current situation will improve. i got to see how you can i want 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? well, i'm next report. we have to nothing gone now. you have problem us signing 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, i knew go and gone as upper east region. animals are vulnerable to diseases like goat plague, livestock dysentery, and parasitical infections that cause stomach floating. well, if you have that you will call within a month i have looms in less than that. i'm making them sick on a new policy. so i have to get mahogany tree bog 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 the of this knowledge of the medicinal properties of plants and herbs is invaluable both for the regions, farmers and their herds. and for researchers, that's because tim, be a good bundle, is 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. ok, welcome. not far from the capital lycra. 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 terms cheap of the splunk. what is the balance to activity? so this plus and release them with the disease is the same pharmacy or you know, be just 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, herders and other locals who recommend medicine sold and open markets like this one . the unregulated 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 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. i'm with a company lease sledge and packaging was we provide this information with this project. if we don't want to provide this a bit, there is a disappointment. it says which a gauge that is used us. we are what chip reps that we,

what we want depends dots. these met says, final vicious output 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 on project. i'm glad to assist you with that. 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 or 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. the absolutely crease it's yeah, really one slot a full produce for 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 more fail fred, in germany around $1700000.00 tons of a goods off for a new weight each year. some gets fed to animals or turned into bio gas, but much ends up rushing away. the don't have to 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 right. but they can do to evict ship. why has

found a way to recycle his whole bread? he 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 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 then 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 the, it's something l as the oil, 2 sides some small, a bunch of quite a bit bodies we have now, and then the next step would be to destroy that said was and get the own else. people have been implying this method for the close to a century. they needed talk 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 subjects can not effecting ordered or is up in deforestation more. 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 me cheap in financial times. the cost to people in the environment is high oil, palms may negro, interpret go regions that launched weights of rain, 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. the

vision complex of last all, we have completely self sufficient. when it comes to rule materials music, we can use almost any food lice including rice cups of uh, sweet potatoes and corn officers cups of the you can use all of the implant, is that not just the edible pencil. so i'm even the coolant stores out by mice does on the solely beast oil tastes very miles. so it can be used in almost anything the bakery way 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 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? and you contact me for them for me to 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 dough leaves. i'm filling of the chocolate brioche. so if you're going to succumb to temptation at least, do it sustainably. wow, that's really very delicious. elementary fault is also bucks, food bugs, something very different. you 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 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 bon tripled. the, the welcome to acceptance of the place where we live in africa through, hadn't made hampshire nice. if you're craving an old fashioned chocolate strawberry or not tea 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 africans super fluids like tiger not sole government tie apples . this little ice cream shop and cape tons alternative bobo, observer, 3 sub is no longer a he didn't, jim just for locals to p. what changes the flavors every week and there anything but vanilla? so to them making cup into efficient tuffy actually. so this is a little efficient as it gets in the continental africa, you get in comb goes and by was i'm allow, we have, you know, of west africa as well. typically people washouts or rinse out the salt in is. but in this point, is we actually using the search and is to provide flavor for the ice cream. so good coffee, caramel. so 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 shown. 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 seconds. that'd be your identity when i go across the continent. 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 content as well. yeah. say find ingredients. i'm more of africa being is in different ways by different people. so we're talking like it was the disc is dial. uh, but i guess a lot who in jet uh like is endless. yeah. so they've been something from the continent, probably going to try putting placements on what starts adopt as a hobby has now become tough. t was full time job and preston 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 the colonize the mindset of cape towns,

foods. so i'm interested in creating composition around going back to the foods that involves with the people in the land of this 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 your pin are very european. so the way we dress, the foods we consume, the foods we farm and exports is really important to me that between bracey i look, i did but what does ice be made out of dried fish? actually taste like i can do a stack of salting this, of the fish, as well as like the rich sweetness and the factory notes from like the caramel and the tough feet. it's like a familiar knave up within with a twist. i like the whole idea of like the colonizing back into the home

indigenous flavors in this, in 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, what goes this dance full. 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 week off we go. thank you for watching. i am a sandra holmes that we know the signing of from con paula right to a new gun, a bystander. i see you again next week and 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,
