beethoven is for cars. is for the beethoven 202250th anniversary here on. welcome to global 3000 crocodiles are nothing to fear according to this scientist in billy's mission is to protect them. sustainable clothing and decent labor conditions far from a given in the garment industry. ghana grows tons of tomatoes but also imports them on

a growing scale global trade doesn't always make sense. in today's world goods and services are traded between countries and continents on an unprecedented scale as globalization is credited with boosting economic growth free trade is a bigger honor for the corporations and benefits millions of people around the world but the price for that prosperity you say critics is paid by the poor and nowhere is that gulf more visible than in africa. 54 percent of the continent's workforce relies on the agricultural sector but cheap and often subsidized goods brought in from asia and europe are swamping domestic markets causing prices to plummet. over 120000 tons of tomato products enter ghana annually that's a $95.00 fold increase since imports began in 1996 and that boom is taking its toll on local producers. tomatoes

they could be gardeners red to gold the soil is ideal and they've been cultivated in the country for decades yet ghana's tomato factories now stand empty and farmers are opting to leave the country. there are many reasons unstable. power grid unsuitable tomato varieties and a global trade policy italy china and other countries are dumping canada and processed tomatoes on ghana. benedicto are free from is a tomato farmer into a bottle in the middle of one of garner's mame tomato production regions the many day laborers looking to be hired during the harvest season attest to widespread unemployment even at the busiest time of year some find while. nearly half of gardeners population lives from agriculture

a robust tomato growing industry would boost growth in rural areas nowhere is this industry more likely to flourish and here in the country's fragile middle belt where you live but now that factories are no longer buying locally grown produce farmers are becoming increasingly worried that. benedict or gross tomatoes on a head tear of land if you believe. that the law. and asked that then why unions would they be also who we have to buy water every day when it doesn't rain. water cost $120.00 c.d.'s 20 euros. and that's not even enough for the whole farnaby asshole but we have to buy water every day for about a month and a half until the rain comes on that we have a lot of problems which makes it hard to survive in this country and i'm up into

milton all my. crops grow in abundance here performance could cultivate even more land and employ more workers yeah but they lack funds if they want to buy seed and fertilizer and pay for irrigation water they need to take out loans. benedictus husband has gone to italy hoping to earn money to help support the family to pay for the children's school fees and also so they can invest in a house and a well to irrigate their crops. but it's in ghana where my husband can earn more there than in ghana another city. he sends money every month. for me and our 2 children meanwhile. you haven't earned your money now isn't. free trade is the principal that opens the african market to exports after independence african countries introduced customs

duties in order to protect domestic farmers and emerging industries but now these restrictions are being lifted despite the fact that most african nations still struggle to compete on the international market garner came under international pressure want to try to increase import tariffs on tomato products to 40 percent of that now at 10 percent and containers full of cut price tomatoes continue to arrive in the country. and. now that the factories are closed farmers such as benedikt to have to sell that produce to the market queen's to sell it on in the cities. there's a surplus of produce during the harvest season so the farmers have to sell it rock bottom prices. is the amazon naturally $320.00 c.d.'s they offered $270.00 and said others are giving even less at this price i wonder and anything

happening. around the. tomatoes out of food staple in ghana they account for 40 percent of spending on vegetables middle class canadians like their tomatoes can garner. meet at least a portion of it's demand itself the canned tomatoes here on the market and not domestic ones come up of china come up even some on this panel some of this week i'll be very happy if we have a company here in town that we could use a lot tomatoes condé and it's a lot of people points a game called sit and drink and exist when i was a mind game when big money to that kind of tells the country to give and. take on honest corbett no 2 is familiar with the problem and as an academic he can

speak more freely than the gun and government which has to take into account international investors. so this one child i'll be. looking to see will have a limited touch of her son to america. about 70 percent spot. media mob a capacity to change this this because we have lost control of our cause there a while back about a simple toltec on food from the us and us to run out of africa and work on a fortune which is. what does all the shows the response from you if you try to change positive value.

for each issue and not destroy lives. it does make massage sometime sort of fun to fund the photos on a profit but if you. loose us amen. on the surface play. blind sanctions seems to be bringing people closer together but some of our. others we visited 8 countries in asia and europe to see the conditions people actually walk under and found differences but also similarities on the social justice from. the latest episode in our series work places. 8000 people work at this site in central java. and she's one of the people in charge michelle joe cross a patrol took over the textile company 10 years ago when her father died she had no

previous experience in the field that mirrors i was in. that situation is because of the 98 crisis so i had it by my local for it was still in there. like a bat that situation so it means that we couldn't pay to. install and pence we call it category 5 in small liquid it was challenging and then but it also set the course of my journey. at the age of just 25 the young woman suddenly found herself heading a sizeable company and she had to implement some major changes. now there are only a few really old machines left at the factory for example in its dye works joe cross a patrol took out loans and invested in modern technology the machines have made production much more efficient they save electricity and make life much easier on

staff as well the boss has also just started using thread made from sustainable sources. and this thread is made from wood near the city of porto in portugal it's all. so used to sew products for a german startup co-founder team makes clothes out of a material called tensile the wood based fibers breathe well and they make a material that's quite durable this is not throwaway fashion in the region. you can make a really cool fabric out of this it's extremely soft and that's why we just started on wood as a source working with the raw material that grows here and is also being processed here in europe. the wood is sourced from sustainably managed forests the 1st step in turning wood into yarn is to put it through a chipper. and the resulting. into

thread. this process saves up to 1000 liters of water per t. shirt for the team at wild sustainability is part of the corporate image raw materials production and transport routes are all in and from europe not asia like most clothing manufacturers that further reduces its carbon footprint. michelle. would also like to go down the sustainable route she has plans to gradually increase production at dan leary's with wood based yarn every year at the moment just one to 2 percent of the company's clothes are made this way but the even being used for the traditional clothing that's so popular in indonesia it's usually made out of silk or cotton so the change is a breakthrough albeit on a small scale for now. council is actually showing us more shine we're actually interested in flag more.

how we can be more sustainable i think. partly responsible. change and all the ways that. i place my part how can i be more sustainable. the businesswoman has also changed the way the company produces cotton all the factories cotton waste is now recycled and reprocessed into products like baskets or furniture the up cycling is done by older members of the community as well as people from the region with disabilities for many the extra income is very welcome . in europe and his team maintain good working conditions for staff. in doing so is it here regulations. these

stipulate that as a rule employees shouldn't work more than 8 hours a day. breaks must be guaranteed and sick leave with pay as well. the young company is distancing itself from the sector's conventionally cheap mentality and i am of clothing from wild costs at least $30.00 euros and that's ridiculous of course it's more expensive because we're producing in portugal within the e.u. for sure it's more expensive to use sustainable materials but direct sales via our website mean we can offer the clothes i don't reasonable rate there so people can still afford to buy them through. life in portugal used to be the cheapest place to produce clothes in europe then competitors from asia and eastern europe sent the industry into a tailspin. but through investment and innovations in products like technical textiles that are for example fire resistant or smartphone compatible the

sector was able to recover it now accounts for 10 percent of portugal's exports and 19 percent of all jobs in manufacturing. employ he said work of 40. were weak with paid overtime and health insurance this is unusual in indonesia michelle joe cross a patrol wants to motivate her stuff her new incentives are focused on further training opportunities for promotion and workforce wellbeing employees who have been working here for 20 years have observed many changes in that time. 35 year old nami has been working here for 7 years she works in quality control. evidence it isn't enough. to tell the company has supported me but also myself that if funded my university course people are forced down the thinking

that one little say out of the wages here it damn the research better than those paid by similar companies. that now that the album that is the money for i started working here i worked somewhere else and that's how i know. what i need to the sound of the. machines can change. the people are still. out there is how we do things. in our global snack this time from uganda. kampala the capital of uganda the country's rich soil produces almost anything the heart or the stomach desires and its street food is unparalleled among other

delicacies the roadside stands here serve up uganda's unofficial national dish the rolex a timeless tree. a rolex will fill you up longer than other males you can order rice or more toca. which is mush planting but that won't satisfy your hunger for more than 4 or 5 hours but a rolex will opt for even longer at. a rolex is basically an omelet rolled into patty patty was introduced to east africa by indian immigrants in the mid 19th century it's a kind of unleavened flatbread cooked on a skillet in oil. fine so maghera why makes this quick snack all day long from 5 in the morning to 10 at night but what's the best time for

a small crocodile has been kept as a pet for the past 3 years and has clearly grown used to its creature comforts. this is from a lot of chickens. keeping a crocodile in your garden pond is illegal in belize reptiles that have been confiscated by the author or put into the care of marissa tay is and her in geo research coalition. 66 where i tell people i study crocodiles what comes to mind are dangerous paths birman man eaters monsters and all this stands for all dramatize ation that you see. as well as the media. from. her fellow conservationists every crocodile deserves protection with the help of a local vet she gives this more allays crocodile a check up before taking the specimen to its new home you're such

a good boy. taylor is originally from the us has been fascinated by large predators since she was a child. a doctoral thesis focused on crocodiles. today and she's effectively belize's chief lobbyist for the reptiles. it's an hour long they're. trying throughout the country with the crocodile and the back. where this crocodile will ever be fit for reintroduction to the wild still remains to be seen. crocodiles are part of life in the rivers and lagoons of belize but most people want as little contact as possible with them not surprising given the largely negative headlines i'm not want to get harmed by cross because. i love my feet on my hands so that's too dangerous for me. going to want they're on

copter you. might have your feet and that's. where we'd be and you're out there i made me i knew my. peaceful coexistence with the animals is possible ozmer cité is eager to communicate whenever she can today she's bringing that message to a podcast people that are protecting one species of the world think it's dangerous and it's. you know our mission is to assist educate protection and conservation programs and their habitat research and when she's not fighting for greater awareness she dedicated himself to individual crocodiles in need of help. the coalition small team also get outside support among their partners is the national zoo. the vets here to those animals that require intensive medical treatment. one of the more acute cases is

a tragic one evidently someone tried to chop this tail off for some tribes in belize a delicacy luke was able to escape with his tail half severed he was found by chance by the crocodile research coalition while out on an excursion how luke. from someone chopping at his tail we will never know but he has an important story to tell. the tale has yet to grow back together properly if they decide they have to. remain in the zoo as a warning that crocodile hunting has to stop. and illegal hunting is far from the only danger faced by crocodiles. urban expansion is also a problem in many areas the new river near the town of orange war in the north of the country has become toxic and indeed lethal for the reptiles. there is something in the water that has been causing. you

know when you conducted the new crops every thing. turned to mush these crocodiles have been slowly dying for months. probably waste water discharge by the sugarcane factories lining the river. head out to check on the crocodile populations healthy at night when there are. some baby crocs are small enough to be plucked out of the water by hand. the examinations only take 5 minutes long enough for the specimen to have various measurements and samples taken and its skin analyzed. like.

this young animal at least seems to be in great health but will not remain the case in addition to moralise crocodiles belize is also home to a 2nd species the far larger american crocodile across the country both species live an increasingly restricted and polluted habitat so currently both species are protected by law however there is no conservation and national action plan to all this data that we are collecting it is to help the government to create the most appropriate action plan. croc right here. 2 months expedition is not a very fruitful one the team haven't spotted many crocodiles. now he is

now he went way way back another day another task marissa 10 years is this a team one of the larger crocodiles being tended to by her organization. gilly also used to be kept as a pet and is now to tame to ever be returned to the wild. day. state you only. uses a few basic commands for the purposes of training and gaining gillies respect target where you go good target. even if gilly seems relatively harmless marisa says crocodiles belong in the wild and many of the specimens she sees need help to survive that this is where education is so important because education provides the knowledge the knowledge to be able to co-exist with these animals because we can co-exist with these animals indigenous cultures have been coexisting with these animals for thousands and thousands of years.
