a career suddenly landed $180.00 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 2010 this time as a political refugee and came up with the idea of starting a goat cheese business. name yankee not the sort of us to be my ancestors were nomadic shepherds it's part of my family tradition. and i've worked on various projects that involved sustainable
8:34 am
agriculture. policy and most of those projects dealt with nomadic shepherds. you know my the 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. and that creates a strong bond. that i thought. 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 valet dimmock any. there were hardly any of them left at the time to fleece the birds with the duty that oh it. started with 15 goats now we have 180 that provide. so quite
8:35 am
a herd. through and it can do and the middle. but a killer 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 not give it up. that i think oh yeah. let me say man what do you think of them. beautiful that beautiful so you've gotten used to your surroundings. yes they have an idea is that that is like going home yeah you really so you're camping. yeah. 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
8:36 am
agreed right away. it's his 1st day on the job poor guy. but he'll get used to it. almost all the shepherds who work for a key to our refugees zaccaria has lived in italy for nearly 4 years now an ngo connected him with a key to. me i really like this kind of work. and i not only like you i know you love what are you going to be my kids start working with animals at the age of 5 and boy it's not like here where kids go to school with 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
8:37 am
the other hand the italian young people who take an interest in this work are really enthusiastic at 1st they want to change their lives the natural surroundings and the goats are beautiful but that enthusiasm usually doesn't last long. we got easier fiji'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 when i'm. disgusted upset. to move. the valid to mccain he 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. well we'll consume in
8:38 am
temperamentally this i came to italy the 1st time to study then i came back in 2010 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 david i shouted at ray no move. over we organize peaceful protest against this practice but troops often turned up and fired at the demonstrators space s'posed therefore today may be a lot of people were arrested. and some were tortured to do this by. since the 1990 s. the ethiopian government has favored economic progress over human rights in 20152016
8:39 am
security forces killed more than a 1000 people and imprisoned tens of thousands more. a state of emergency was finally lifted in 2018 but freedom of expression remains restricted and the use of torture in prisons is widespread. because this is a serious worry most like you know. i stayed in that situation until 2010. then things got so dangerous that i basically had to leave overnight for my own safety. on the. person for the but i was really lucky because as an ex didn't i still had all my italian residence papers. i still had friends in trentino who took me in that was a huge help those 1st few weeks when i was just trying to sort myself out and recover but he she joined me thinking. yes yes. and then little
8:40 am
by little you pick yourself up and start over again but if you put in the levy them those that are. 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 1st 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. the way is full of enzymes
8:41 am
and they react with the milk. less i. think. this mixture is left to coagulate and create kurds for 24 hours. a day i always say you either like your work and you keep at it or you hate it in quite. a part to do you 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 is right now i make 15 different kinds of cheese so i can meet varying tastes and fill lots of different orders from customers. and by this.
8:42 am
i get used cheese dairy is called the cops. 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. but the reason why she went to france to study cheesemaking is simple. you know that. 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. it would eat a lot of dough i look forward to. going
8:43 am
to the little mound. it warned the world of cheese making is rather special. because 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 who become a proof so yes we feel least cheeses are special because there are little treasures but it was the program that is about all. and. today is market day in toronto the nearby provincial capital. i.q. too often sells for cheese products here. but
8:44 am
i set out to get quick and i and she she 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. my. 2 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 are also welcome to visit the farm and spend a day with the goats. i mean. we often organize guided
8:45 am
tours entire families 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. she. values this type of direct relationship between the producer and the consumer. to. just. 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 like pay back but what did i care what rake it. do you and i get to speak the same language. and i get to. choose from ethiopia from mali. what about when you talk to the goats.
8:46 am
he speaks italian to them on the move but i don't. because. they realize that here. 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 enjoy interacting with people and getting to know them. to lives in the former priests 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
8:47 am
graze on. it together for you to pick will be cut down all of the red spruce trees over there and some of the launches to mark the amount of course that will create some nice open space or less than a really good pasture. but boy i was going to say this is still pretty out but you can see how the undergrowth really opens up here. exactly. the remote valley day mccain he has felt the effects of rolled the population. with . it released and now mayor graff is trying to turn the tide by developing innovative agricultural projects. we used to have 4 to 5000 people in the valley. in a body now it's just 2040. in the 1970 s.
8:48 am
and eighty's the politicians urged people to move to the cities to work in the factory. so a lot of people did. that and that led to things not being maintained and a sharp decline in local events and cultural life in general. there we're trying to reverse that trend by recreating the kind of life that ancestors you know. we've had some success with that. we go to for instance who came to us like a bolt out of the blue like that 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 and we glad that she's here but. i
8:49 am
keep we hope that she can serve as an engine that will help to drive the local economy. up want to be an income to mommy. who has big plans for the building housing her dairy that it was built 30 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. could out. but all. this will be a huge project from an economic point of view. and i can't do it by myself.
8:50 am
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. use the political. system when. i get 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. packs of wolves have moved into the area. they've already killed a number of sheep in cabs in a nearby valley. going
8:51 am
to move to do a little 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. but i reckon view that a. minute. 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. 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 do we use an alarm system that includes
8:52 am
firecrackers and a timer sheep are there or you mean every night starting at 10 a firecracker goes off every half hour. when the wolves hear that noise they think there are people around and they stay away from speed that's worked so far and we hope it will continue to work employed to us just stay in the summer of 2018 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 ball going up us and i'm going to my 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
8:53 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 deliberate so that he would or would it. be a little bolder but i'm not afraid for myself but we have to take a clear stand against this shit fighting in ethiopia my grandparents used pitchforks to fight the italian fascist invaders. but we all 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. aki to believe that farming could offer job opportunities for refugees throughout europe. mean that i'm beyond what to do to abandon our we have
8:54 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 you can stamina and they want to work under that i mean they're not cut but she. fried it. so why not create environmentally sustainable projects in deserted rural areas like this one. they need. 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 with. that i don't know and so my future in italy is still and so. the 1st thing i wanted to do when i got here was to go to school and learn
8:55 am
something so they will i still do. i said we are live but right now i don't have the time at all. i reserve we have to leave that how do you 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 it. also has no mission 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. you know mildly to prove you know in a restaurant if you 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
8:56 am
my entire herd with. mom and yeah ok let's go. on. and on. was a what are you trying to do there hitch a ride. oh. i don't see tomorrow.
