bob in our started cultivating duty at the age of 12, in those days, due to was an important crop here of the, this is what i've done it. the thing jude cultivation became less important. rice was the priority and the focus shifted from ju, just the plastic. as i said the that that could be about to change a size. and are you a cons? cultivate or fibers that could make the world a better place. or you've has believed in this possibility ever since his doctor told him that you could be turned into a material that feels to be hayes like plastic,

but it's environmentally friendly. i read an article on the back. it is invented out by on, by love a c scientist. it is a bio de good to buy a plastic the are use and his uncle of us farm the natural fibers according to century. so tradition. for this painstaking process provide the fiber of the future, the northern bangladesh book or district 6 o'clock in the morning. an early start to avoid the summer heat. yesterday, temperatures reached 45 degrees celsius a fast, so this due to in march. now it's harvest time the what the heavy

at the end of the been galley month of to a true. we so the see that a 2 or 4 months later in the month of chart we harvest that kind of my head. can we then planned other crops on the same soil, such as over genes or potato? what as they will know, part of the high on the one end, they're going to go to of the 5100, is inquiry double how to use dried, jude sticks for many purposes. they bring in the most money how much we use them as climbing aids. investable feed valve or for the walls of houses today. however, this is becoming obsolete as bricks are used instead of jute, bangladesh as a small country, but it's farmers count among the world's largest dude. producers of foss lives in the village of his lee.

he is one of the wealthier people in the village. his annual income, he says, is the equivalent of 5000 bureaus. the house has 4 sons at this time. teddy guy after one is also a farmer and other one is a driver. one is living in malaysia as a migrant worker, and the other is an engineer. i am 75 years old working life will help you. hi.

when i 1st was young, the slogan used to it's not plastic handmade and bangladesh was popular and parts of europe. but if i says he's never heard of it, the in the 1980s, the tooth back from bangladesh became a symbol. that's the environmental movement. back then, it was known as a scratch. you resilient natural material. used to to not plastic was a rallying cry. now the fight against plastic is more urgent than ever. in the village of his lease scrap metal and plastic are collected for recycling. the people are paid and edible, not so they will have to do to eventually replace plastic. who are the people who cultivate the plants? now, what role does jude play for them? whose ever overall jude cultivation has advantages. we hardly earned anything from

rice this year. but we still grow rice for our own consumption, and we see the rice straw to the cadillac. c c the, the price farmers receive for to talk to it's considerably some years proceeds from sales fail to cover production costs. the government is trying to counteract this economic issue. a problem. you just take a partnership with the ugly. i'm the one in the market. price is high right now,

and i'm farmers are interested again obvious, and we want to support them 5 inches square. we is. these are leaky in the current season. our department has provided them with seed and fertilize our free of charge . so h was this creates incentive, the farmers have to invest less form of this and can make a bigger profit. it could the number of cds of these taskbar suffice. and a lot of issues have a number to lead. my name is to lee, i'm working as an assistant officer at the department of agriculture extension. i've got totally vocal right. isn't that isn't the data. okay. yeah, that definitely the fiber feels thick and strong. it will be a good you. the problem is that we're going to resist

the, the harvested to stocks are left to lie in the field for 3 days until all the leaves have fallen off. what follows is the unpleasant part. the green starks must rot. the you must do you watch her attracts insects and victoria that are good for the jews and help the for mentation of the plant. but it's bad for human skin and causes itching says a fast today it is bearable and says a fast he's used to it anyway.

other challenges are more daunting. not move on the box. that's what number one in fact that i'll call you because you have one of the i like round you, especially the jewel sticks. they sell very well and don't require much work. i know, but when it's too dry, we have a problem running the green due to sticks in the past, it was easier. we used to do it everywhere in water holes and rivers. there is a river nearby, but now it doesn't have enough water. so now we use puns that are normally used for fish farming, and i have a pond close to i. ups pond this climate change is making every thing harder. extreme weather conditions are disrupting ecosystem throughout south asia says to lee and jude farmers feel the effects for his tend thoughts.

i said i'm on the see the money to wash much the my ancestors already knew that we have a very low me soil here. just kind of follow a model who married only needs a little reading to retain moisture mazda the parking lot of on sunday. so i'm going to, did you plan to not survive more than 10 days without rain world is in for bar at the market. that type of soil is we are here behind the year. it rains fairly reliably, every $15.00 to $30.00 days and summer would get to the balloon. uh so our judgment is not damaged. the model, the other, it will not be unlimited from us. unlike cotton or rice, which need constant water do, does not require artificial irrigation. aside

says that he'd never heard of a biodegradable plastic like material made from june until i you've stopped or told him about it. he uses a conventional plastic sheet to protect his plants. the this is that what i did not, i put the plastic sheet on top to prevent the mode from getting in and sticking to the fibers depending on the quality of the fibers, the jude has to soak and water for $12.00 to $15.00 days so that it starts to rock

if the plan was already very ripe when it was harvested. i can take it out again after just 8 to 10 days, but i thought i'd go to the of the, in a huge pond right next door. the dude sticks are almost ready. okay . that was the other day i said it would have to overtime the fibers can be removed from the stand by applying light pressure. but this one isn't ready yet. i still have to press too hard with that. there was no, it took a positive kind of set function that i think it will take another 4 or 5 days. in his li, our youth is known as the model farmer. he grows everything from oranges to toot,

and his family makes some proud. his daughter tia hopes to go to university in my country, people things, pardon me, use the a, made a team not to the female to do this. and i want to start a study that how i live in and abroad. come to the, the outside of the country a t o would not want to become a jude farmer even if she could do to them. now the do try me is not, not they have these people say of the farm are so kind to reduce. because the dial me is by my, the jude me is, are all. so they don't to the uh, day or dante, any buyers to buy sandy, a juice so many people inside of the leave the juice and it is

a chart is all scan it is they allow us to do. so i'll watch to, well, i separate the fibers. this chart is of plan is people out of the go use the now center building the building, the house, the, the construction moves factories do used to be very important for bangladesh says that the pulling out an old bank note, i bring it because the symbols, the symbols the farmer are kind of do is the farmer. they have separate fiber from the jews and the pop curry. they have separate the 2 and it is our national groups . the no. so the not has the same, symbolize this t. so i read for you to do is type a color who that is that,

that these wash from the borrower that, that is golden color, golden, should show natalie as to evaluate college. so natalie asked, that is golden try that? and it is. so it is a, it is our, the national across because each so we export the other countries and we get dollars to that guy and see the, until the middle of the 20th century. jude was the world's most important tech style fiber after cotton. to this day, most of the worlds do production still comes from this region. a louisville soil, a climate that is humid and hot. jude has been harvested and processed here

for centuries. the british colonial rulers took the jude prone here and sold it all over the world. the highest quality fibers have a golden color. these are set to grow best new rivers. that's why many dude farmers lift by rivers or in the middle of rivers, an island called chars. the char bye to allies in the middle of the juno river, which originates in the himalayas as the rama put trevor, the army notice is a jude farmer. here. the

lie a brother. did you also plant the season? no, no, not this year. i'm. i don't i love life on the island. we buy them. but i live on the mainland because of the robbers and goons. every day i come back here in the morning and believe in the evening. i loved the nature here, however, the ears fresh and comic looked. however, there's so much to do on the island so many opportunities on the mainland. i have new land and nothing to work with. i go to the river pirates. that's what i mean. what caused the people who attacked and seriously injured his brother that got he shows us the scars from the knife bones. he tells us that the pirates stole his cows,

is it is all over the crime is not the only thing that makes life hard on the chars. legally, i've tried several of our struggles as far as the outside of my c id, and mostly with the rainy season that floods over twice i go as i so we move the coast to the mainland on. oops, while very well. but the weather is just in 2 or 3 days. everything here is under water. wish i had the this was all over. it was then we came up to the tin roof of the house that i'm, i'm lia wooden planks don't. let's have to. so if you, we just live up there, thing get, we're going to shoot. i think it was all over the booked. i'd be actually, if he seems to be volume or the date to get him is take it back. he's subject to so, so what i'm a landlord i mean, nor shows how high the watch of reached in recent years long i was i'm charged even

disappear completely for a time. $200.00 people live on this river island without electricity or solid ground under their feet. their jude times are resilient to they can withstand flooding for a good 2 weeks. but even the robust do times have their limits. who are the, who do i have the reason why they're hard to believe. i believe i found that you back to their what is totally ruined you by the way, by the department of the but couldn't because of the extreme flooding. we couldn't harvest quickly and, and they died of those in the flood lasted for almost 3 weeks to complete. the funding, i believe is in there by the, by that but everything was right. but of course, there are new fibers,

a little cold by me, as if by me i should do the uh, boost up the shop though, and the water comes on the plan trimmings under water for too long to clear. turns black around. no. as an option, as new, good or more, i got to think of the problems that gives you go by the list of only the golden shimmering fibers are really worth and a thing say about them like, i don't know a boss because i've lived here though. even if the plants are only half submerged with walter, how satisfied the fibers that come out of lou quality? by the i bought the we get a lower price on the market. because they are just colored or even black or not as of technology about the numbers you i to prevent this dude. farmers on the chars have devised a system that i mean with this proud of leaving the island is not an option. they have nothing on the mainland. the river is both a curse and

a blessing for the 2 plants to watch your noise just then with the minerals, but threatens them with much good, by the way i live on the river. walter isn't murphy. the stream carries on lots of soil and clean the substances. stick to the doot fibers degrading quality and causing the due to black and good. however, if the river water is channels into a pond or canal with the water is clear and fresh, i know that you trimmings and damage. platinum retains its golden color. so they have created artificial canals and water holes. the if i didn't know, do they got to you in the bottle? this is walter that comes from the river by the all the impurities in the month of

settle to the bottom of the water hole with the bundle, but it got more, lots of the water is clear. and that's how you can still get the golden color to the base, like the 5 block, talked about the otherwise there's no chance of getting good quality fibers are low yet another problem is impacting the by to river island to a low pressure. the i wonder if we don't have a, if there's too much plastic around, then harms the crumbs. so we gather it burnett that solves the problems. are plastic. the that, you know, people want to use less plastic bag, but i just have because we have already in the past batch are made of june most now we're going back to jude shopping bags, tax, etc. and people are fed up with plastic that the of the

200 kilometers down stream. there are people who want to solve the plastic problem with the house of 2 in the capital duyka scientists are working on this show nally back project. translating as the golden back. it looks and feels like a plastic bag. but it's made from cellulose, derived from cute if the invention of bangladesh, the scientists, dr. mubarak and con, protective suits and mass have also been produced using this new bio plastic the . the main raw material is dried dude fibers. then we find the setters

because the main ingredient of this one in the back is set are definitely made to send loose from just condition. then we put into the reaction thing the reaction. we have to set up the temperature ratio and time for the poor to action, and then we own the skype. so some of these are the exact formula. it's a secret and says doctor con, this finale bag has suffered some setbacks. it was just about to go into mass production when the cobra pen, democrats, sewing bags from this to polymer is also still a problem. the producers don't have access to the right machines using dude for fiber reinforced compass. it's has already been proven to work. dr. con has been

experimenting with the material for years. it's due to reinforce polymer mixture also has a name to to do things. uh is a complex met you. so that is a good for thought of bodies now, and that tons and gentlemen in as, as your lives in a solution. and also data making some boss with the flex fiber inputs, accomplish it to the appropriate feel of flux is better than to condense function. but at flux, the production of flexibility, limited in some countries, and the prices to can support and try them. that will do sometimes it's, i just have a good quality plots. these have a 10 times 5 at the end of june. so in that case, juke is the potential candidate for making the complicate. the

i have to do every scientist has the mind to destination hutton, i want to go there. that is the distribution. so lastly, i want to see why i'm using 124. because juke is really incredible, because he wanted 70 percent centers, you cannot find any t or across in all of them was we scored 1071. there are some plans, but it's not plenty. it's not kind of difficult. anybody like to is susan of corruption bundle with dish. so it is the hardest thing time use $110.00 days on the other. one creek on kentucky, person, the settings on their bodies. lucky dick's getting to good people in the estimate

to the this is the last the policy so you can see the set on the burning. this are a little bit. it's a just like, you know, victor here. this is the can proceed and me did. through a bad, they gave me, this isn't necessarily product this, this is as it sounds like the perfect fiber.

so why hasn't the environmentally friendly juke revolution happened by now? and what does the government which commission this finale bad experiment to make of this? we ask for homage upward cullum at the ministry of tech styles and jude. this absolutely mobile idea and the mobile home account he is working on that you already know any already talked to him. uh, but the, the, somebody should actually, uh, the need to be addressed before waiting for the most protection kind of, uh, uh, the costing thinks the other cool thing of course the whole list actually cost that is one issue. um, because people know, get actually plastic bags or anything big, big, stupid, almost a low cost. so that is $11.00 issue actually there is

a stick completion with the this plus people to put them back into somebody a good product. but the plastic community is very, very strong coupon pipe dealers dollars business every year for the single do us shopping back. so they are not easily allow you to enter the plastics, an industry that is blocking jude farmers expansion and increasingly jeopardizing their very existence the weekly meeting of the dude farmers of history. 2 of the sizes, brothers are also here, states on what they tell us that plastic causes a lot of damage to their crops. somebody might have done, but i don't think they've got

a of this plastic is very harmful though. when it burns, like sticky, dangerous residues remain in the soil, due to on the other hand decomposes easily and it fertilizes the soil. plastic takes years to decompose. and when we planned rice, it no longer rose. well, if the soil is boys under a 100, because the high log enough, they would be glad to grow more to and does produce more natural fibers. but conditions have to improve. many people, including all your uncle hide, are, are unhappy this quote for you. you can give a member to define it, that's what we want. we also think about it all the time. cute is really profitable, but we simply don't have any more water holes where we can leave the stocks to rock . and i mean, it's a real crisis. i got them kind of table tight. there are so many things we could do that i knew i'm not hardwood, they might have but i better have them do though as i did. i did it as

a whole in love. but i need to do the struggle. we used to have more of them and lose the know they were leased by the government to people who are farming fish. they kind of funny. so cutting them off is near enough to low to plan and we'll charge you therapy. so we're going to take a short of to run. it must cut out wherever there is water upon the dishes canals. it is, it was a lot to know. they are all use for fish farm and ready to go to those. i got sort of the, our hands are tied on while you're doing that. is that a mazda natasha jennifer? how much would it make to go to? and that's why they have created their own artificial ponds. these experience farmers make the hard work look easy, having rubbed, mineral oil on his body before getting into the sinking water to relieve the itching i loosened institute fibers by hitting the stems, the

law. and this is how you waiting to talk lots of course to go to lou will got a big deal in addition. i don't like it. i'm gonna also with the cultivation process as tyran. shoot has many benefit. when it is young, we can each other the phone number. once you've extracted the fibers, we make the money from it. they will lose, right? you sticks us fire, we're with them going to germany 0 who has makes up for the hard labor cost through allowance, even though it use cultivation is painful when it brings us lots of benefits of

black. i'm a bit of what kind of car do when to is still very young. it's leaves are used in cooking and are very healthy. are you? ps, wife alo says, now double talk. so these are green vegetables are full of vitamins healthy. i mean, i just usually have some share that we build up our immune system in the, the the part that some of them have good. what about the think if i do like the 1 am i

gonna love hello. well no, no punch on the day, of course the high thoughts that dips carlos jute has changed our luck since it's currently being sold as a good market price. i see the cost less to produce compared with other products for the initiative on marketing. how do we can recover the production expenses by selling the dried stock? so look at one box with the next to to be shut up. that gosh, so if i produce in the field, because i can earn 2 and a half times more than what i would earn with rice is for, go to the nama, the cool. what the, that's why you cultivation is a profitable crop for us farmers. back on the side of the

it takes 3 days for the 2 bundles to dry in the sun or you know, fast and sell them to wholesalers who pick them up directly in his late the to sell. there are too many farmers travel to the small town i've shown that toilet. it's one of the largest due to markets in the region. the highest price for a q low of $2.00 today is a t tucker. they say, that's about 3 quarters of a dollar. 6677, count slowly. wholesalers by to then deliver it to the mills or a boss. what about them all? hey, we have to make 5 kilo's less. there are 3 categories of june. first,

the 2nd and 3rd rate quality that determines the price i pay. i buy a good quality duty at a high price medium level model, but this is medium quality, gave me the good one and then look at it. that is low quality. a high quality here, 1st class, the best a defense is type. everything is okay. the light of vertically clean soft, smooth, vertically at other than these thinking. this one is rough, very different. it's from the floods. well, no, i don't know if i need to. when i say with them, well know so that the wholesalers often store the tooth in warehouse. it's in order to increase demand from the mills

and does drive up the price. in recent years, the government has closed down several jude mounts, which were said to be unprofitable. tens of thousands for left unemployed. there are times to modernize the industry according to the ministry, to the privately owned house on ali, to smell and book laura sources due from all over the country and produces it in 3 ships. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. the, the conditions are bad. the temperatures colors the

from the fibers present at the body, the exports go to india. the neighboring country is the world's largest producer of 2, but they still need imports to supplement their own harvest. products include 2nd delicate textiles and sometimes called pets. yes. mm. okay,

not true to. fabrics may not be very soft, but they are durable and highly feasible. production manager mohammed drum and tells us what the material was already being used in the 18th century in germany. in the region of present day has been moved to the money pick a would put the will actually the so called hash and goes back to germany. square soldiers uniforms used to be made of jude out of money to say this was then adopted by the british army, or we will set the issue that there and they then call the fabric, well, yeah, sure, i can do that. data money hid cnn. push out late. i've tried to go to the

over 800 companies in bangladesh, now manufactured to products, and that number is growing. the more awareness of due to environmental sustainability could be created worldwide. global interests would really help say the history of farmers separately. that's our germany is one of the pioneers in the industrial revolution before

heading off to if they were to import truth from our country, from st. deals with a governmental to go to the water, we could produce more of the golden fiber and suppliers. i mean, even though she forgot to come out on the spirals to harvest more, they packed, you know, most of farmers would come forward, cultivate you to try to get us updated access to the water, allowing us to pack though we do the main challenge. i think is the price fluctuation. there is no certainty if the government put a system in place to guarantee that it would by the to, to not as it already does with rice have to do then i think this would mitigate the risk of being charged for the conduct of it. the digital government done conduct the back of its the only issue saelens ticket being asked about will use to to not plastic. make a come back. the history farmers hope so, but it's up to others to make it happen. until then, a fast will continue farming as best he can today

he finds himself at the market in the evening and i bought the car when i get a good harvest and earn a good amount of money. i buy suites for the children at home. i say to myself, eat more, don't think about money today. we're not pushing away with the harvest. that brings in the most money makes me the happiest, whatever. when i sell my harvest at the market, i forget all the hard work. it motivates me to keep working on it and then i'm even happy. i don't work or model the the
