1:32 am
a very important part of the community now and i'm glad she's here to make it she actually. senior remiss in amman. pricing sitting around in the muck again were you how dare you i think that on that . last thing. they're very nice girls don't do that thing. comment most of the credit card to go today's acarya ok. if there was a second ria suddenly landed one hundred eighty girlfriends. all goats. i know right just about.
1:33 am
to burst lived in italy after graduating from high school when she got a scholarship and came to trento to study sociology at the university. then she went back to ethiopia. but return to italy and twenty ten this time as a political refugee and came up with the idea of starting a goat cheese business. to me and to not use an apostrophe my ancestors were nomadic shepherds it's part of my family tradition. and i've worked on various projects that involved sustainable agriculture. or part of that most of those projects dealt with the magic shepherd's . you know my the it was during this time that i developed
1:34 am
a very special relationship with the goats i'm really passionate about them you see as you get to know their character and the quality of their milk for young people. and that creates a strong bond. that after all people and. he laughed. when i came back to italy i was impressed right away with all the open green space. there was a lot of abandoned pasture land. that and that's when i got the idea to start raising local breeds of goat like the protect america from the valet democracy. and there were hardly any of them left at the time to police to bridge or to direct little it was the somebody there called cream i started with fifteen goats now i have one hundred eighty that provide milk so quite heard. through and it can do in
1:35 am
the middle but to kill it i through so i chose this indigenous breed because it adapts perfectly to the local environment and i wanted this project to be as authentic as possible. not to be topped out the entire time. that that's like our yeah i mean same but what do you think of them. beautiful. beautiful so you've gotten used to your surroundings. yes you have an idea is that there is it like going home yeah you really so you're happy. yeah barry took it back in his homeland he worked as a shepherd so he's used to cows sheep and goats. when i asked him to work for me he agreed right away. it's his first day on the job poor guy. but he'll get used to it . almost all the shepherds who work for
1:36 am
a key to are refugees zaccaria has lived in italy for nearly four years now an ngo connected him with a key to. that. i really like this kind of work. and i not only like you i know you want to be in the what are you going to do my kids start working with animals at the age of five and boy it's not like here where kids go to school with you nice to do. it i guess if we just. refugees are resilient people this work is physically demanding in the hours are long but they can handle it if you become needed. on the other hand the italian young people who take an interest in this work are really enthusiastic at first they want to change their lives the natural
1:37 am
surroundings and the goats are beautiful but that enthusiasm usually doesn't last long. really interested i got easier a few g.'s have made it through the desert and across the sea and that's made them tougher. and they want to make something of themselves as well it. stops in. the valley of the mccain he has always been sparsely populated but in recent years many of its residents have moved away. lucky to let her go to graze in the unused communal pastures that she leases. she started this job as a sideline but it's now turned into full time work. like me when i was consuming temperamentally this i came to italy the first time to study then i came back in two thousand and ten because i had to leave. the political situation had become
1:38 am
unacceptable. in some of us had fought back against a neo colonial practice called land grabbing. that's when the government takes over private farmland and gives it to multinational investors and companies. soldiers just show up on private property and say an investor wants your land so you have to leave now to the border to david i shouted. move. over and we organize peaceful protest against this practice but troops often turned up and fired at the demonstrators space who were in sports there for the day maybe a lot of people were arrested. and some were tortured to do this. since the one nine hundred ninety s. the ethiopian government has favored economic progress over human rights in twenty fifteen and twenty sixteen security forces killed more than a thousand people and imprisoned tens of thousands more. a state of emergency was
1:39 am
finally lifted in twenty eighteen but freedom of expression remains restricted and the use of torture in prisons is widespread. because this is a serious remaster. i stayed in that situation until two thousand and ten. then things got so dangerous that i basically had to leave overnight for my own safety. person for the but i was really lucky because as an x. student i still had all my italian residence papers. i still had friends in trentino who took me in that was a. huge help those first few weeks when i was just trying to sort myself out and recover you know it really can be she joined me thinking. yes yes to do grillin then little by little you pick yourself up and start over again. if you can deliver
1:40 am
them. but i was. twice a day fresh goat's milk is brought down from the mountain to ivy to small dairy in the village. marianna comes from a village nearby she started working here as an internal a few days ago she wants to learn the secrets of making goat cheese first hand. so let's make. rubio love as a soft right but cheese. hockey too explains that she refuses robi all the way in her cheese making process. way is full of enzymes and they react with the milk. of less five.
1:41 am
to this mixture is left to coagulate and create curds for twenty four hours. i always say you either like your work and you keep at it or you hate it in quit. it's hard to do have some cool see if foursomes thai took several courses on how to make cheese in france. and then i tried to figure out what people here might like and you could choose a piastre you personally because right now i make fifteen different kinds of cheese so i can meet varying tastes in fill lots of different orders from customers. via the. cheese dairy is called. or the happy goat. it's won several awards including one from the slow food
1:42 am
organization. and her cheese products were chosen to represent the region at the milan expo. the reason why she went to france to study cheesemaking is simple. you know last time i mean. there are hardly any goats left unturned so i'm a client here when it comes to go cheese. you know it's from the here all the courses are focused on making cheese from cow's milk. or at least they were when i started out about. it being delighted to have been the french are the best at making goats milk cheese. so i thought i'd better go right to the source. what it'll all do i look forward to. going to. the world of cheese making is rather special. because
1:43 am
you have something green that then gets turned into something white you know sort of for my job and cheese changes every day this is fresh christmas ali a week from now it'll taste completely different because it will have matured to us good roof so yes we feel these cheeses are special because there are little treasures. to grow grow these are all. and. today is market day in toronto the nearby provincial capital. good to often sells for cheese products here . but i said i'm kick where i and people are being cheap he did you know i try to meet the highest organic standards so i only
1:44 am
sell my cheese in this region. yes it just makes sense to consume local food locally. so i've had several requests to ship cheese to other locations but i won't do it. for myself my cheese here at the local market and at the dairy. people who want to buy it should come here. and enjoy a vacation at the same time. and my. two earns a good living by selling her cheese and she invests the profits in new projects. for example she recently started a line of natural cosmetics made with goat's milk. tourists who travel to the bali demo caney are also welcome to visit the farm and spend a day with the goats. i mean. we often organize guided tours entire families come here to see the pasture area. it's instructive for the
1:45 am
children because they learn where the cheese that they enjoy at home actually comes from. she. values this type of direct relationship between the producer and the consumer. to what. yes the time to see the i use a lot of gestures to get the goats to do what i want yeah he will for example when i get to a good pasture and i've got them and i want them to sit down with think it will live i know a lot i do know this like pay back but what do they care what i get mine gotta. do you and i get to speak the same language now you know by speaking the law and i get to be i don't know her she's from ethiopia i know i'm from mali you know and with that my right what about when you talk to the goats on the park you speak italian to them earlier on we can all move but i don't you know i know.
1:46 am
she see yeah i like it when you mix people from different cultures that way you get to know each other. people learn not to be afraid of each other to worship when you would i enjoy interacting with people and getting to know them. to lives in the former priest's residence in the village. today she's going to meet the local mayor bruno grove. the mayor uses e.u. funding to reclaim abandoned pastures that again too would like for her goats to graze on. it to them for it to take will be cut down all of the red spruce trees over there and some of the
1:47 am
launches to my family i want to quote that will create some nice open space than a really good pasture. but boy what a scope of cafe this is so great you can see how the undergrowth really opens up here. is exactly. the remote valley demo caney has felt the effects of roll the population. of the. think it released and now mayor graff is trying to turn the tide by developing innovative agricultural projects. we used to have forty five thousand people in the valley but that's in a body now it's just two thousand and forty three the night was in the one nine hundred seventy s. and eighty's the politicians urged people to move to the cities to work in the factory was being so appalled by the letter so a lot of people did. get off it and that led to things not
1:48 am
being maintained land a sharp decline in local events and cultural life in general here or not no two were. there sort of off there they asked if we're trying to reverse that trend by recreating the kind of life that our ancestors yeah. we've had some success with that. we go to for instance who came to us like a bolt out of the blue so you know we hope that she'll be able to inspire some of the local young people right now there aren't a lot of job opportunities for them again. but. she's a real asset for our community between the show my glad that she's here but. i keep well we hope that she can serve as an engine that will help to drive the local
1:49 am
economy. up on top you know who to me to. get to has big plans for the building housing her dairy. it was built thirty years ago as a kindergarten but it was never used because so many people had moved away. to wants to expand the dairy and to convert the top floor into guest rooms for tourists. there's a lot of room up there and i want to put it to good use. if you could out. but our project will be but this will be a huge project from an economic point of view. and i can't do it by myself. i don't want to take on too much debt. so i came up with the idea of having visitors pay for their stay in advance. then they can come to the village and spend
1:50 am
some time here so they get to know us. and they participate in this project we all should. be there with the political. system when it's. ok to has had to wade through a lot of red tape to move ahead with the guest house project so plus some local officials are skeptical about the community driven financing proposal. and there's another problem. x. of wolves have moved into the area. they've already killed a number of sheep in cabs in a nearby valley. going to move to the return of these wolves is a very sensitive topic right now it's become politicized too. it's
1:51 am
a new problem for us and we'll definitely have to deal with it. could be i mean part of their view they. just part to put it to believe there is room for all kinds of animals here. farmers can't have a monopoly on the land and simply get rid of the wolves. just do it i think we should take a look at managing wolf reproduction. otherwise they'll multiply like wild dogs or feral cats. could mean the guy. who doesn't want to put her goats behind the security fences. recommended by the e.u. because then the animals would have less space to wander. she came up with an alternative solution. to speech and do we use an alarm system that includes firecrackers and a timer she part of their own human is every night starting at ten a firecracker goes off every half hour. when the wolves hear that noise they think
1:52 am
there are people around and they stay away. that's worked so far and we hope it will continue to work. through. is just so in the summer of two thousand and eighteen after a right wing populist party joined italy's new coalition government there was an increase in attacks on immigrants a key to who remains invested in politics is very worried about this development. you see the boy lovers and i'm going to laugh but i'm a successful business woman and i stick to a close circle of friends here so it doesn't affect me personally. i haven't heard any racist remarks or experienced any discrimination. but overall the political climate in italy is pretty worrying. with our interior minister spouts ridiculous claims about immigrants all day long. so some people feel they now have
1:53 am
the right to attack people who have a different skin color was bad are not the person he would or would it. be a little proud of but i'm not afraid for myself but we have to take a clear stand against this. flooding in ethiopia my grandparents used pitchforks to fight the italian fascist invaders. but the current generation of italian seems to have fallen asleep. but we have to make our voices heard and put a stop to this before it spreads further. i d two believes that farming could offer job opportunities for refugees throughout europe. means that i'm beyond will to tell you to abandon our we have a lot of land that we don't use and a lot of unemployed young people they're just sitting around doing nothing for me you know but the politicians have no vision no. they don't see these young people
1:54 am
are a valuable resource. they have skills and stamina and they want to work but i mean they're not cut by chito not easy. friday. so why not create environmentally sustainable projects in deserted rural areas like this one. they need to be thawed e o h i thought i know but not everyone wants to live in remote parts of the country sakaria is happy to be here and to have found a good job but when he arrived in italy he had other plans. it would do anything. but i don't know and so my future in italy is still and so. the first thing i wanted to do when i got here was to go to school and learn something so they will i still do. because it dampens i said we live or live but right now i don't have the time.
1:55 am
i reserve. like arya have you seen these berries this red fruit. so i mean the little balls but when they taste great they're in season right now there are strawberries and raspberries too. and they. also presume you seem to yank you full but i don't feel like a guest here absolutely not. i feel right at home with us and i get along well with the local residents i haven't had any trouble at all. in the lobby to prove you know in a response you can still i realise my presence must be a little invasive since i don't come alone no no no no person i could i come with my entire herd through some of your.
