11:31 am
this is the village of france a long go in the me and the northern italian province of trentino. will be two a day a good detect came to italy as a refugee eight years ago. since then she's built up a goat milk cheese business from scratch. i. think that. i'll use of she could i mean this from when she first arrived a lot of people in the valley didn't quite know how to react to this. but they're not used to seeing strangers and they're certainly not used to seeing a black man. is in previous two. but she's very open and very honest. but a question was if i am there i know to. over time people grew quite fond of child
11:32 am
abuse took you up and moved on quite a little short initial much. more you know she's a very important part of a community now and i'm glad she's here to meet you too she have. seen your remiss in amman. pricing sitting around in the muck again were you how dare you i think that that. last thing. level you think nice girls don't do that thing. i commend most of the credit card to go today's acarya ok. by the second year
11:33 am
suddenly landed one hundred eighty girlfriends. all goats. i know right just about. 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 in twenty ten this time as a political refugee and came up with the idea of starting a goat cheese business. and you sort of of three my ancestors were nomadic shepherds it's part of my family tradition. and i've worked on various projects that involved sustainable
11:34 am
agriculture. products and most of those projects dealt with nomadic shepherds. it was during this time that i developed a very special relationship with the goats i'm really passionate about them. you get to know their character and the quality of their milk for young people. and that creates a strong bond. and. 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. and that's when i got the idea to start raising local breeds of goat like the protect america from the valley democracy. there were hardly any of them left at the time to use the bridge with the duty that oh if. i
11:35 am
started with fifteen goats now i have one hundred eighty that provide so quite heard. through a new queen don't. but a killer 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. do you. think. that that's a career. let me just say what do you think of the. beautiful that beautiful so you've gotten used to your surroundings. yes they have an idea is that there is it like being home yeah you really so you're happy. yeah back right. 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
11:36 am
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 a key to are refugees zaccaria has lived in italy for nearly four years now an ngo connected him with a key to. fit. me i really like this kind of work. and i'm not only like you i know if i'm being a comedian i love what i did when i knew my kids start working with animals at the age of five and boy it's not like here where kids go to school with the least 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 even. on the other hand
11:37 am
the italian young people who take an interest in this work are really enthusiastic at first they want to change their lives the natural surroundings and the goats are beautiful but that enthusiasm usually doesn't last long. 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 they plan on. moving through. the holiday more caney has always been sparsely populated but in recent years many of its residents have moved away. 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. i mean temperamentally this i
11:38 am
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 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 know. that rain or move. 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 spot on it since the one nine hundred ninety s. the ethiopian government has favored economic progress over human rights in twenty
11:39 am
fifteen and twenty sixteen security forces killed more than a thousand people and imprisoned tens of thousands more. a state of emergency was 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 story muslim. state in that situation until two thousand and ten. then things got so dangerous that i basically had to leave overnight for my own safety. i was really lucky because as an x. student i still had all my italian residence papers. i still have 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 but in between the joy. here is to grillin then little
11:40 am
by little you pick yourself up and start over again but the people in the levee them. twice a day fresh goat's milk is brought down from the mountain to ivy to small dairy in the village. already on it 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 bin cheese. lucky to explains that she refuses robey all the way in her cheese making process here the way is full of enzymes
11:41 am
and they react with the milk. let's apply. this mixture is left to coagulate and create kurds for twenty four hours. i always say you either like your work and you keep at it or you hate it in quite. the pot to give some cool to see it was for most i took several courses on how to make cheese in france. and then i tried to figure out what people here might like and we could use a piastre because right now i make fifteen different kinds of cheese so i can meet varying tastes and fill lots of different orders from customers guided by the.
11:42 am
cheese dairy is called the cup propel each day or the happy goat. it's won several awards including one from the slow food organization. and her cheese products were chosen to represent the region at the milan expo. the reason why she went to france to study cheese making is simple. you know that i mean you know there are hardly any goats left unturned so i'm a pioneer 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. of aldo i look forward to.
11:43 am
going to the full amount of. the world of cheese making is rather special. 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 prima sally a week from now it'll taste completely different because it will have matured and i want to us who become a proof so yes we feel these cheeses are special because we are our little treasures and i think we would want to grow grow these are all. and. i think. today is market day and to endorse the nearby provincial capital i get to often sells for cheese products here. but i set out and
11:44 am
pick where i am going to get the cheapie did you know i try to meet the highest organic standards so i only 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 to enjoy a vacation at the same time. and my. thank you to 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 goats milk. tourists who travel to the body to more caning are also welcome to visit the farm and spend the day with the goats . can you tell me we did we often organize guided tours entire families
11:45 am
come here to see the pasture area. it's instructive for the children because they learn where the cheese that they enjoy at home actually comes from. i value this type of direct relationship between the producer and the consumer. in. just the time to see the i use a lot of gestures to get the goats to do what i want. for example when i get to a good pasture and i want them to sit with. a lot i do this pay back but where did it go what rake it might. do you and i get to speak the same language. and i get to. choose from ethiopia from. my right what about when you talk to the goats.
11:46 am
he speaks italian to them. move on but i don't. think. 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 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. and. the mayor uses e.u. funding to reclaim abandoned pastures that again too would like for her goats to
11:47 am
graze on. it together for it to pick will be cut down all of the red spruce trees over there and some of the launches to my record that will create some nice open space or less than a really good pasture. but boy was going to fade this is so it's still pretty out but it you can see how the undergrowth really opens up here. exactly. the remote valley day mccain he has felt the effects of rural the population. think it really said now mayor groff is trying to turn the tide by developing innovative agricultural projects. we used to have four to five thousand people in the valley but that's in a body now it's just two thousand and forty in the nyquist in the one nine hundred
11:48 am
seventy s. and eighty's the politicians urged people to move to the cities to work in the factory. so a lot of people did. get off. and that led to things not being maintained land a sharp decline in local events and cultural life in general here or not no. just. there if they there if we have 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. and i'm often. she's a real asset for our community between the show my glad that she's here but. i keep
11:49 am
well we hope that she can serve as an engine that will help to drive the local economy. up on top you know come to miami 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. and i d two 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 we could out. but all. this will be a huge project from an economic point of view. and i can't do it by myself.
11:50 am
because 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 some time here so they get to know us. and they participate in this project we all should she. says be nice. ok to has had to wade through a lot of red tape to move ahead with the guest house project 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. not
11:51 am
agreeing to move to the return of these wolves is a very sensitive topic right now it's become politicized too. it's a new problem for us and we'll definitely have to deal with it. to put it to the neck and i 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 walls. just i think we should take a look at managing wolf reproduction. otherwise they'll multiply like wild dogs or feral cats. maybe a 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. do we use an alarm system that includes
11:52 am
firecrackers and a timer sheep are there for you ms every night starting at ten a firecracker goes off every half hour. when the wolves hear that noise they think there are people around and they stay away speed that's worked so far and we hope it will continue to work in pluto. 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 are key to who remains invested in politics is very worried about this development. you seem to be one of us and i'm going to wrap it up 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. our interior minister spouts
11:53 am
ridiculous claims about immigrants all day long. so some people feel they now have the right to attack people who have a different skin color was spot on not to let it. be a little colder 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 much. better. 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. id to believe that farming could offer job opportunities for refugees throughout europe. mean that i'm beyond what thirty thirty to abandon are we have
11:54 am
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 are a valuable resource. they have skills stamina and they want to work but i mean they're not cut by chito not. friday. so why not create environmentally sustainable projects in deserted rural areas like this one. that i know but not everyone wants to live in remote parts of the country south korea is happy to be here and to have found a good job but when he arrived in italy he had other plans. you know what to do anything. that i don't know 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
11:55 am
something so they will i still do. you know. i said we live or leave but right now i don't have the time at all. if you say we have to leave that to you 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. all speak to me seem to be on cue ball but i don't feel like a guest here absolutely not. i feel right at home with us 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 and i realize my presence must be a little invasive since i don't come alone no no no no person i think i come with
11:56 am
my entire herd with. mom and yeah ok let's go. on her. was a what are you trying to do there hitch a ride. oh. i don't see tomorrow.
