it's unique biodiversity. tomorrow today in 60 minutes on d w. e take it personally i went with a little wonderful people and stories that make the game so special. for all true fans love lead up more than football online game. playing. i. got fish like i'm coffee just a taste of what it wakes you up in the morning it's

a part of life. you have to remark smile coffee is easier on the stomach when it's not me that's not and another cup in the afternoon to perk myself up a bit on the scene to solution can you enjoy coffee with a clear conscience that many coffee drinkers are trying to. cover just since i think will be a very important topic for young people in the future and that we should grow up making sure we buy fair trade products just get straight to my coffee. anyone buying products on the so-called fair global trade market voluntarily pays a higher price this is intended to benefit these coffee farmers in africa they set up cooperatives and selling coffee directly to fair trade organizations in europe and america. so close to the version a little earlier we were often cheated by the traders when we sold our coffee i'm glad you don't think that trade since we're trying to trade my income has more than

doubled in the. kids. an early july morning in southern uganda this mountainous area lies between a 101500 meters above sea level conditions are ideal for coffee cultivation. after many kilometers on dirt roads you reach marion losing who sees house it's from much and not easy to find because the house is a scattered through. up the mountain. the 39 year old coffee farmer is married and has 4 children. all right now it's high season harvest time when marion spends all day on have plantation during

this period everything revolves around the coffee beans growing between the banana plants and coconut palms they have to be as ready as possible redness means they're right. marian has around 600 coffee plants because she can't harvest all that alone local women come to help. for about 10 years these farmers belong to a village cooperative which in turn belongs to a large regional cooperative with more than 1500 members. today marian's husband sam has come to the plantation to help his own plantation is at the far end of the village or when he helps out here his wife is the boss but they always plan to work together. so if the land

power patents were having 6 workers there what we appear only. on the others there will be in the big. but i doubt they will be in the bidding for. them another week and i'm a family we also will too. during the harvest season from june to september everything takes place on the plantations. you are wanting to warmer. we took away the rest came across coffee growing when i got married 20 years ago. while my husband sam's family was well known crockett growing family in our area. i can tell you. in addition to his work as a farmer sam has another job he also works as a consultant for the large regional cooperative of coffee producers the a c.p.c.

youth this unites all village cooperatives within a radius of almost 100 kilometers stay sell their coffee to fair trade organizations some of which will look aged in germany. when sam gets back from his consultations with other farmers he's often covered dozens of miles on foot in the last few years expert advice has allowed farmers to increase their yields by about 15 percent without the use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides in a good season marion can harvest up to 500 kilos of coffee for one month through much of this one. this one is. grown into the. new pick when they are ready or red they're red with we've ordered. what. that's

that's one them give 100. i'm all for hugs since the premium. it also has its own. marion a scare in t.v. equivalent of just under a euro per kilo of harvested beans that's not a lot but it's almost 3 times more than before fair trade was introduced as a mother of 4 she can't cover her family's costs with coffee every year she wait eagerly for the additional bonus it's all all. still the proceeds from fair trade in coffee provides a family with previously unthinkable opportunities the money to send the kids to school for instance. we have 4 children. all of them us. 2 we are we have money

did we have managed to buy another piece of land. we have we are cutting old. for example i have are now. but we are not rich there. but the breadth of the 600 or 3. that would be the boat before our. farmers in the remote valleys store their harvested coffee beans in their own warehouses this work used to be done by middlemen who were of course paid fairtrade cuts out the middlemen and the money stays in the farmer's hands. this truck is carrying 3 bags from marion's plantation each of the white sacks contain 60 kilos of dried coffee beans. they'll

now be processed in this factory which belongs to the co-operative. 3 years ago its 9500 members invested part of their bonuses in its construction. that created new jobs for a dozen workers at least for a few months a year. the coffee beans leave peeled and salted by machine. the quality of the raw coffee is crucial as are the appearance and size of the beans riccardo a 3rd. part of their food. for the troops their way through so that's why we thought victims of the food we removed it included the robot of course for the for the pharmacy for the affair at the nearby with of addictive process since the cord that at this house started part of. 40

years ago at the beginning of fairtrade its supporters had to compromise on quality . but their trade has long since been delivering good flavor with a clear conscience. the machine selects only the best beans for export everything else is kept for personal use in uganda. every bag for export is checked again more than 60 women examine literally every single coffee if it's the wrong color or size it's discarded. then a sample is sent to the laboratory to check the flavor a handful of beans a roasted ground and finally infused. it's

a kind of blind tasting the taste is don't know beforehand which samples come from which plantations. john were garba the general manager of the co-operative is also taking part in the tasting it's not only guarantees the quality of the product but also ensures that the coffee farmers are properly recompensed. the farmers are paid regardless of the quality of their beans. no farm. receipts or now we see. in the order. we do friday. on payday the coffee farmers can get their money

immediately. a bank counter has been set up in the garden to pay it out in cash the bank is also part of the co-operative. the co-operative guarantee that is 1st payment to see if she'll go under soon as the sales risk later if the export goes ahead the farmers can get bonuses. that's what marian and her husband do every year both are confident they have been sure of high quality. it would be. another quality check this time at random. thank. you. the therm for

a bio pic of the pressure of month. to trading partner in this case is the oldest and largest fair trade organization in europe germany's g. e.p.a. . a few days later the sample arrives in the german city of time where g e p a has its headquarters set up 40 years ago in a small church office the organization now has a turnover of more than 100000000 euros a year. but g.e. e.p.a. isn't concerned about profits its shareholders are exclusively church organizations world g. e.p.a. wants as much money as possible to flow back to producers in the countries of origin. procurement manager francisco pena is about to test a sample from uganda. the pre-packed coffee in uganda will only be dispatched if

she gives the green light. as an expert she travels regularly to africa and discusses cultivation and quality standards with the partners. nothing works without mutual trust. him and healthy among the think of what we have very long term contracts with our trading partners some 12 to 14 months into the future so we're buying coffee on paper that doesn't even exist yet is forgotten. here the coffee's origins can be traced back to the individual farmers. trade a few horses as a fair trade pioneer it's very important for g.e. p.a. to show that we're buying very high quality coffee on fairtrade terms and that we have a very close relationship with the cooperatives we have direct trade relations there

are no middlemen here which is something our customers want more information on and care about. the. customers are always happy when they see photos of the farmers on the coffee or on other products that creates a connection and gives the coffee a personal touch that's the coffee i dove in a prison in which we got here. each bag in the shop contains coffee from a particular growing area. none of the blends are mixed so customers who pay higher prices for coffee here can see where that money's going. yet this awareness of fair trade is still read. at this protestant school in berlin 2 of the senior classes have set out to raise that awareness in the free trade shop in the city's punker district been preparing their campaign for weeks done else ma ok good morning everyone this is the last cross before the big. warm. i would

like to spray the back. garden business lawlessness. carrotmob is akin to a flash mob where volunteers meet in one place to draw attention to a particular topic in this case a world shop selling fair trade products the students are keen to speak up for people in developing countries to trade and. fair trade does what it says it means that producers are fairly paid for what they sell to traders in germany and elsewhere who then resell the products. they're going out with that's. alfy exactly . i want the people who supply us with products those who farm them from their fields and we want those people to be able to live in north properly on the income and on alberts. the carrotmob spends the entire day pushing the world shoppin. i know it

would you like to stop by a welsh oh. yeah. one day i will also have a carrots and chop. the miracle for life no maybe not a carrot for chocolate would be nice. right in one for eliezer. but how can you be sure the product you are buying all really fair when it comes to coffee a fair trade seal provides a 100 percent guarantee but for other products only some of the ingredients are fairly traded in chocolate for instance it's only the cocoa the berlin students also discuss issues with coffee experts that go beyond fair trade. in regard to what extent is climate change affecting your production are you having problems. with. peruvian explains that his compadre units are no longer growing coffee at an elevation of a 1000 meters above sea level because it gets too warm he says they're having to

cite new plantations much higher in the mountains. but in spite of these new precious fairtrade can act as a cushion for social problems. i spent 6 years on this product not 3 but i know that difference can send a kid to school so much it's mitigated by. not only just fair trade ensure that produces house more money in their pockets the co-operative in uganda is also fundamentally improving the social conditions in its villages. it supports the state schools. for example. the co-operative members have invested part of their fair trade burnishes in the school software that really should be repaired teaching materials purchased. about that without that he's going to yes i. doubt the crowds and for 2 hours a week all the children can now learn about agronomy.

their young teacher tells them about ecologically friendly sustainable agriculture . if you plan to show and that includes coffee growing. week i used to find out i knew a lot of the like oh are used to follow yes. we came in through corporate from the leaves this called for cute reason why. of course produces a corporately union want to give back to the community is sick and then we have more from the 40 because for a. year we have but then there was this school because the wise they decide to bunk with the school reason in the more resources and the only way to make it come up was to do their part in the here and there really advance in their community. funded by the co-operative the school has also been able to buy

a plot of land and create a model of plantation there where the children can find out about organic farming experts from the coffee factory regularly come to give practical lessons. you don't realise they did. for the 3 and someone there are white. well i was relieved this is one of the all 50 states to. those with whom that's what. i'm the most troops to me. the theory is general manager john knew or garba attaches particular importance to children becoming aware of their responsibility to the whole of creation he repeatedly explains how farmers can get good yields of coffee even without using herbicides and pesticides. but he also worries about the long term development of agriculture the plantations are already feeling some

changes. then. it's in the wrong guy books that if. you don't know when it's. with. the rainy season was once a reliable factor in the lives of the coffee farmers now weather is becoming increasingly unpredictable. content has been set up in the courtyard of the coffee factory from a conference. to a c.p.c. you could walk pretty annual general meeting takes place at the end of the harvest season you. ask why opens the conference. if. more than 100 delegates from all the village cooperatives will spend the next 3 days here if.

all decisions are taken by democratic vote john knew our governor has to present his annual report here his job also depends on the balance sheet he spent his life working in n.g.o.s experience he's used to steer the co-operative to success. might need to be ordered tonight it. their board was responsible for the. room in. which you would bring the. cortex into the organisation when you're playing them which probably in my mind. and my brother now under this system of. rehab we separated the money de mint from one that's not what we'll want to go to the years ago at its general meeting the organization also decided to build its own health station next to the factory.

all the way to health station is now up and running. the members of the co-operative and their families can take advantage of it for a small fee. good medical care is rare and expensive in uganda. but now cooperative members have an important context person and advisor on the spot a doctor who can examine patients and prescribed medicines and treatment uganda has one of the world's highest rates of new age hiv infections tuberculosis a deep owner are also a big problem. in addition to the health station the co-operative has funded many other facilities from the additional benefits of fair trade.

that also benefits marian and sam and their family. they run a modern farm operation. they get financial accounting and tax support. they use only natural substances and methods basically they have an organic farm. organic certified it also includes day the amount and their value because. of the practicing organic. coffee. in the water what they did to hide the money for going to products yeah so that's why we say that let us to inform or let us call out organic funding as you've been

there in the field and seeing. ready ready to it some day the coffee picking season in uganda is coming to an end fair trade has once again paid off marian and sam and their 4 children came to church together even the oldest he's studying in compound is back home. johnny will galvanize among the dignitaries solemnly entering the chant. the key justin sees a co-operative is a christian company but is born in a christian environment that's why it cooperates closely with g e p a in germany.

preaches the story of david and goliath this sunday. it was the wisdom embedded in the david this who they might their board who enabled him to achieve that victory over the glorious and we kind of use the same principles to make way for that even when we are small with a good excuse on the priming we can with with what our computer does we can outwitted attendees in the market and we can outwit the issues we can with the other seeings that have been fighting the progress on the growth of our member from my eyes. to the service everyone celebrates the seas. and success. marion and simon happy about their $400.00 euro back and it's everyone's and well

they'll probably reinvest some of the money in their own communities quest some are still much worse off than the fairtrade fama.
