the rows most healthy in this country. what do they want to change in a society full of contrasts? the indian aids stuff, june 5th. i'm d w the for quite a few environmental activities. the realize that's slowing down is one way to leave more sustainably. we'll proceed how simplifying a lives and thinking creatively can reduce our impact on the not through weld. welcome to eco africa. i'm crystal lives in lagos, nigeria, the modem was culture of convenience, has a very damaging effect. what if we do things differently? i am some drug of homes that we know do joining you from the comp long run to

a new gun to here is what we have coming up and event abuse over. so i quote, robust bundle is a new gun. and ations fishing method still use of the cost of denise yet. and an artist who believes that even from the land is the key to include life. but we begin to show in the democratic republic of congo, a country, the fences, multiple environment of china, cheese from the impact of mining deforestation on to 14 to water pollution. we went to like cube on the border to run to, to meet a young man was trying to clean it up. joseph hydro banga is in a good mood, even though the job he's doing today is not exactly fun for several years now. he's come out regularly on lake keyboard in his rogue boat.

together with other members of the green helmets team, he collects the plastic weight. let's go face it over the teen. it was because this is a routine for me now. every week i set aside 4 hours of my free time to clean up, like even the cut them color. don't do much. i cherish this lake. i was born here and grew up here. it's part of who i am today on the, on the 50 most good was the but it's badly clumped up with plastic. rubbish. also lines the color river which feeds into lake cuba here in the city of because of environmental experts. you've learned that tom papa has long been monitoring the problem. the garbage is gone, terminating the water, and he's concerned about the impact of the worsting pollution on marine life liquid se counseling not easily disease, surpassing the month. the consequences are enormous,

not only for the human population, but also for the aquatic population. so mid the sick and for rule out there shouldn't be a nursery for fish and a young they should come here to reproduce. don't see, but unfortunately it's a place that's already polluted the mass. so these fish, of course, have to leave the area. yep. on why is it west so smoke to blizzard? the fleet, a citizen, the democratic republic of congo has no functioning waste collection system every day. thousands of tons of plastic waste and up in illegal landfills or strewn about the place of the situation is the pre catastrophic in many parts of the country. locals have recently noticed a significant decline in dumb bozza. a saw dean that's native to like cable populations will likely continue to dwindle unless the lakes cleaned up. this would have far reaching consequences for those who live from fishing here. this makes the

work of the green helmet activists all the more important dozens of garbage collectors, comb, the city for plastic bottles and take them to a collection point where a man of the team pays them accordingly to the amount they've gathered. a bag of garbage such as the equivalent of just under one year old guy, the 90 say this work and helps me a lot because when i clicked the bottles, i helped my family to get a quote from the bottles of been sorted by brand. the aim is to best way to the companies that to make them to support the initiative. the plastic that's collected is then used as construction materials. this floating platform produced from bottles was made by the young activists. the plan is to build a much larger project based on their model. july tokyo will be an artificial island

over 1200 square meters in size. and 6 in the middle of the lake city see, will implement the new cities a to this is where we're going to set up the initial difficult de la, told pete of walk, which will be a hotel complex. it will have 6 guest rooms and a multi purpose whole way conferences can be held to raise awareness of the problem of drastic. but usually the shoals place the bottom up when you feel plastic. but in order to make that happen, they need to collect 2500000 plastic bottles. that would be a lot of wood. but the green helmet group is nothing if not determine a fishing tech specialist on school. and especially when it is done using palm leaves, it might not sound as efficient as using nets, but it is an ocean to fishing method, but it's still practiced in to me is, is click on the island. exactly sandra,

where there is no shortage of palm trees. it's called stuff fission, and it's especially environmentally friendly. our reports, i went there to find out how these amazing tradition works and if it can survive in today's well the see is a couple of the 2nd time. today. he's once again heading out to going fishing, using an angel technique found only here on the kind of items of tennessee is east coast. it's coach sophia and involves catching fish with the help of palm from almost shortly from any i don't think i've always worked at sea when i was a kid. i went fishing with my dad and the 3 of them. and when i finished my studies and returned home, i automatically went back to fishing was done in the past age. sophia is arranged as a try and get a barrier. the palm fronds can be seen in the shot, a waters around the occupy, like

a fishing technique relies on title currents to drive the fish into the traps. unlike fishing troll is the sha fee, a don't home the marine environment. instead they present a bio diversity. they have an answer, but i think, but i think the problem with a dragnet says that they don't allow anything to escape with the palm branches, fish, find holes to swim through harbor hotel. in fact, there's really that people, it's friend. i mean guinea does is also on board. he's not a fisherman, but an artist, and he's fascinated by this age and fishing technique. traditionally, it involves the use of date, palm branches. forgive me, does they to a part of the kind of islands, cultural heritage in his studio. he creates various products to sell using different parts of the palm. it's listed in the head by the basis of the care. kenny and shot c a is a cage that inspired me to create decorative objects for indoors and outdoors. i

tried to retain the original look how was i that he sees himself as an impass of the official fia, in 2020 unesco. declare that part of humanity is intangible cultural heritage. it's also linked to angel traditions and cultural practices. walk up on i was using this method as a basis for my project without really knowing how it works. if you, once i learned more, i fell in love with the c panel, but times have changed some now use plastic traps is that cheaper. others have abandoned the practice altogether. is time consuming. and industrial fishing has decimated fish stokes. so the whole and the shelf you has also plummeted. but some fishermen are actively campaigning to preserve the tradition, especially because it works in harmony with nature. and the palm branches get fish

somewhere to hide and live. it's an ecological method that preserves and respects the environment and we'll have a valid via this fisherman. the lead shot fia will continue just on the test of time us the fish cool this way, a far superior to the catch from industrial fishing, with what's the sure brought to assure a live that's why they're considered to be of better quality than those caught by other means, you know, you to put on high quality fish is an important source of income for the occupant of go on an added tool for, to raise to visit the islands. but for allie, a couple, sophia fishing is more than a trade. it's positive, good kind is unique cultural identity that's now at risk of disappearing. was looking at the past. all our ancestors had a shop to. yeah. just keep coming in from the viet when you come in they would build it up over the summer months. you should the today having a shots here requires significant financial capital and for the,

for the money that many unable or unwilling to invest. and so she fishing continues to dwindle, even though it's so sustainable from sufficient or fishing to mode in agriculture all over the world. farm is angry and have been taken to the streets to protest. what are the reasons for their rhonda and what exactly do they want and what unites them? and what goals to climb you'd have to deal with it. let's talk the investigation in euro thomas has been out protesting, seemingly non stop lazy your rep from portugal to not for you to remain near to from the know me. there was so many specific e rules, $5050.00 of them, and then the and we can no longer produce at low prices about people, obviously. so it's, we want things to change because this business has a passion in fonts in germany. the demo's have focused on the reduction of diesel

subsidies. the outcome? are these bismark with cultural diesel refund to one cent per liter mentor reimbursement of 25000 years for us to have smoked us? if we lose the subsidies now i really don't know how will make ends meet. thomas in greece is still reading from floods in 2023 and one foster compensation for damage from natural disasters. and hungry and poland. farms were angry about impulse of cheap grain from ukraine, of the rushes invasion, the waves terrace on ukrainian grain and projects as a measure of support the government. why didn't talk to us about that. we kind of wasteful to share. the power of pilot obama sway posted the new car, the diesel subsidies, flood damages of grain and ports, farmers feel abandoned by the government. and from a financial perspective, this might well be true. since the fact that overtime in agriculture tends to shrink relative to other sectors of the economy, stuff on the phone,

chrome on telemundo is an agricultural policy economist and a consultant to the world bank and several national governments. and this is true, almost everywhere in the world. i can't think of any real exceptions. the european fonts are dying out, decreasing by roughly a search since 2005 still 8700000 people worked in european agriculture in 2020. and that doesn't include seasonal workers, thomas worldwide face higher rates of mental health problems compared to the general public in europe in the us, the foaming population has strong elevated suicide rates. being a farmer as not only having the job as a farmer, but really. ready giving, giving all in agricultural, economist marie from my us, our research is the social side of sustainable feed systems. it's a way off lives, and that's why it's so much not a bubble. small problem as a struggling us, they lose relevance in our economic system, which in many ways, stocks against them. the well across the value chain is not distributed

enough. fairly meant not even a flux. it's a southern ration. advocates for european farm is conform walker's day and that's and be what's manufacturers, a good thing, like the biggest share of the volume, which is produced in the ugly $4.00 to $6.00 top and bottom of the info on what goods which are like in the bottom of the book, these probably would change giant supermarket chains, how most of negotiating power for prices. european commission survey found the almost o e u. food chain supply is reported experiencing at least one form of unfair trade practice. we have seen a lot of good deal, miserable prices. how about box to the woods or corporations, care about nothing, and only about price says, you model, you often price us. then the or international trade deals like to propose you mca sore agreements with less than american countries, thomas say to increase

t agricultural inputs produced to follow a standards. for example, they have been yeah, they were allowing food and that's not made the way we do it. had with us all small the price negotiations with supermarket, some manufacturers and not getting well, like on this give yourself the disease. we're asking for all this to be put on the table. the one on for swift, concrete responses. also copy this before the talk, it's about frustration is usually the you commission in brussels, which controls another thing from us, present the common agricultural policy o. c, i p for show the system was launched in 1962 to deal with post 4 feet scarcity in europe. who most 3 quarters of the c a p budget goes to direct payments. the farm is the payments are calculated based solely on how big the form is. the best means the policy rewards industrial firms which tend to be monoculture, corporations, for example, one of your biggest arable farms is awkward cost, a romanian serial producer. you

a e invest as voted for reportedly between 2 to 300000000 years. but the phone gets over 10000000 annually and e u subsidies. romania exports a large majority of its grain, meaning the you from these must have fonts is not benefiting the local economy. and most european farms of small aging family farms with less than $500.00 tons of land . you're going to, the generation is afraid of her for many are asking what we even get the job later on. if the lower is implemented as planned, he's influence us for the full that want complex and a full ready and to climate goals. europe has loved the plans to become the 1st climate mutual confident by 2050 agriculture is responsible for more than 10 percent of tied to in your greenhouse gas emissions relative to the size or the overall economic importance of the sector. it produces disproportionately a large share of greenhouse gases. the european commissions responded by launching

its own green deal policies to make fruit systems more environmentally sustainable . we can't afford kind of to think about the x issues and like environmental protection like body diversity, like ethical issues. many of the europeans farmers protests of targets at ease greendale policies, such as phasing out diesel subsidies. reducing factor lies are in pesticide. he's. i'm setting his pipelines for biodiversity. they say the rules don't compensate them for the income blocks. so that taking too big a share of the bad and the problem with the policy is that it is a bit gets a frantic. um, if it's meant to be income support, then you should think, you know, we should be targeting smaller firms with low income more and not the big farms because the policy is to reduce bombings, climate to impact. well then, big firm should be getting more payments because

a big farm is affecting the environment on a much larger number of factors. the protests have had some effect. fronts dropped its fuel subsidy costs and the you scrap to plan to reduce pesticides. an e, you trade support for ukraine now contains a measure to prevent too many ukrainian products being sold in the states but it would take move out from us to address climate change in the long term, such as limiting e legislation to the environmental aspects of agriculture away from farming subsidies, the income support is in the european union, a national policy priority, the social policies or national priorities that shouldn't be coming from brussels. in that case, each member state would support its own pharmacy. it would have more flexibility and shaping subsidies which could support small farms and create incentives and financial support for more logical practices. can seem is,

would also have to change that habits in the you findings. environmental cost isn't fully included in fee pricing. changing that would shift the pressure on low income households. policy makers are going to have of to find ways of buffering that and distributing the load. but the load has to increase. meanwhile, small in a farm is a hoping for a big a seats at the table. some of the best ones that are with people who work with the, with nature, that sort passion. okay. can you to people who manage this to 10 offices will the unfortunately, they don't even know what nature is best to accept that through. we have probably minutes goes into the set up presented actors or model is um i'd be interested in keeping mobile is that that the school the by differential ones, maybe much shaping quote, the political agenda. if we want farmers to be able to provide all fits sustainably,

it seems that the current system that favors the biggest players will have to be fundamentally reformed. in all next reports, we had 2 fronts to beat a fama was perfectly happy. the only use this old fashion mess, thoughts that most farmers this, these do not have time for those most even have a tractor both he believes and respecting the environment that lives from the land at tries completely self sufficient. meet samuel lewis, who was never attended school or taking up a job. he lives in brittany, getting by with almost no money, but we took a off with the environment. basically, what we need is it provided for us by the soil. and if we know how to form it, be can leaving a beautiful environment to the 7 year old jesus traditional tools to attend to the

3 heck just blocked by using old fashioned ways. he avoids using in organic from inputs and equipment which from the biosphere. some when he gets his various food supplies from the from vegetables grains and even bread by rejecting consumer resume, he prefers the cost effectiveness got in and being fully assess the invite this document. the other thing, what interests me about spending less time watching for menu, because for me it seems like a cycle of poverty and destruction of my environmental piece to the office, someone on the, on the move. and they want to have time to look after leaving things people, environmental sustainability is key to sign me in. but for him it's even more important to share. he's knowledge of us. he publishes themselves books, but teach people how to take care of the environment. someone is leaving his dream, a simple life, and leaving in harmony with nature. and mission is to try and who address the

balance. and just to tell people, particularly younger people, you don't necessarily have to destroy the environment. i'm interested in, cataract. uh, you know, way is as much taste as of pharma on next report features and now the crossover between the odds and the environment. it takes us to uganda. open now to sandra, crease know here and come pull up only 5 percent of guns, which is recycled. and the streets of quite bundling dated august on the zinah island. and now what can you trust is the results. she doesn't even phone to have a key to views for ronda sanders, but people have thrown out a allen level can yet is combining a passion for ox. was careful how environments collecting discarded, flip flops is the 1st step to process. she has invented to turn plastic pollution into something useful. uganda,

like many places around the world is listed with hundreds of thousands of plastic slip slopes. this one, this farmer pulls out of his field, is about to be given a new creative purpose, name name. it was somebody surprised this girl collection. we see her getting out beautifully, things will die. so never can. he attends the flip flops in to paint, which he uses to make works of arts and other objects for the offices. it's a way of coping with the mess. people have been making of the world around them besides the saving of that environment. um we have promoting culture recycling in our country. so this would be, could be something very interesting if other a to scan actually come on and try it out as her flip flop collection point now, but can, you begins to reclaim the original bright colors that's enticed people to buy the

food with in the 1st place scrubbing the flip flops by has and leaving them in the sun to dry is a laborious job, but it's crucial for her project. transforming them into art materials. back in the studios, she uses a bell sands in machine to reduce the food with to a fine dust, which she collects and mix these with a bind to to make paints. it was such as the reality of described as, flip flops never kenya has been able to create a pallet of both colors with which she express herself. she has also brought in other materials into her artworks such as stripes of discarded vehicle tie is novel, kenya is making a name for herself in the compiler, all 12 and internationally with ok. she makes from flip flops of slippers, as they know locally hot technique is so unique and there is and that's why i

love, i love it because of that text. yeah. and another thing is, um, sure, cause of that environment by using the city pass and t as yeah, instead of binding and, and, and i'm throwing them my way back to that. she turns them into life. never kenya hurts that. how aust can raise awareness of all effects a nature and change people's attitudes towards per adults that we no longer have a useful. i'm here to, to save nature. people have mismanaged with a lot and we're here to tell them that this can be interested around and after the functionality that they actually know about, they can maybe do something else on these. this is an ending life and ending life.

besides her paintings, allen never can. you also designs and adult inspection items. uganda and alters is new kids apps more useful? are recycled pain with so many flip flops? still to be removed from the environment. she says she could produce house paint as well. i'll premiums idea of making phase by hand and making phase that last we should all be doing more of that. we hope you feel as aspired as we are. by our report this week i have krista lives in nigeria, a thank you so much for joining us and don't forget to head to an equal off or go online platforms for most stories and, and drop us a line of equal odd data, the dot com. i am sandra holmes, that we know do the signing of from complex right to in uganda the the
