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 big honor for the corporations and benefits millions of people around the world but the price for that prosperity say critics is paid by the poor and nowhere is that goal 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 goners 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 powergrid unsuitable tomato varieties and a global trade policy italy china and other countries are dumping canned and processed tomatoes on ghana. benedicto a free for is a tomato farmer into a bottle in the middle of one of ghana's mental motto 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 work to find work. nearly half of garner's population lives from agriculture

a robust tomato growing industry would boost growth in rural areas nowhere is this industry more likely to flourish than here in the country's fragile middle belt where you but now that factories are no longer buying locally grown produce farmers are becoming increasingly worried that. benedict grows tomatoes on a head tear of land if you believe the. capital. and asked that then as well unions would there be also will we have to buy water every day when it doesn't rain or. a change of 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 if we have a lot of problems which makes it hard to survive. in this country and i am into

milton all my. crops grow in abundance here the farmers 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 on money to help support the family to pay for the children's school fees and also say they can invest in a house and a well to irrigate their crops. need to pay it but it took them down to one day my husband can earn more there than in ghana the city. he sends money every month. for me and our 2 children meanwhile play. your mind your money power and. free trade is the principle that opens the african market to exports after independence african countries introduced

customs duties in order to protect a mess stick 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 when it tried to increase import tariffs on tomato products to 40 percent that now at 10 percent and containers full of cut price tomatoes continue to arrive in the country. now that the factories are closed farmers such as benedikt to have to sell that produce to the market queens to sell it on in the cities. there's a surplus of projects during the harvest season so the farmers have to sell at rock bottom prices. this year amazon might ask for 320 c.d.'s or they offered 270 and said others argue. even last time at this price i wonder in anything as to

happening. tomatoes are a food staple in ghana they account for 40 percent of spending on vegetables middle class canadians like that's a monetary scam donna couldn't eat at least a portion of its demand itself but the canned tomatoes here on the market are not domestic ones come out of china some of it's even some of this has been some of the street i'll be very happy if we have a company again and we could use a lot of mesa's canidae and little people in points if you want to sit and drink and exist spend a lot of my would be when big money to that kind of tells the country to become. economist corbett no 2 is familiar with the problem and as an academic he can speak

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 also 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 book isn't there you can make a really cool fabric out of this it's extremely soft and that's why we decided on wood as a source we're 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 stuff in turning wood into yarn is to put it through a chip or. blended with. the resulting web the mixture is then spun into

thread. and 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 joe cross the 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 they aren't 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. i don't feel it's actually showing us more shine which actually initiated. like more i think the marketplace and it's the challenge.

of how we can be more sustainable i think. partly responsible happened with. climate change and all the ways that. at least problem my part how can i be more sustainable. the business woman 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 stuff. 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 sectors conventionally cheap mentality and i don't know 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 at a reasonable rate so people can still afford to buy them. 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 portugal struggle to hold its own but through investment and innovations in products like tech. 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 today leary's work a 40 hour week 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. that it isn't enough that. the company has supported me but i don't want to let that they funded my university course forth that let me think

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 a tease are put into the care of marie said tay is on her in geo crocodile research coalition school 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. for mercer 10 years and her fellow conservationists every crocodile deserves protection with the help of a local vet she gives this more or less crocodile a check up before taking the specimen to its new home this year such

a good fat boy. originally from the us has been fascinated by large predators since she was a child. her doctoral thesis focused on crocodiles. today and she's effectively belize's chief lobbyist for the reptiles. it's an hour long day driving throughout the country with the crocodile and the backs. were 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 one of that harm. i love my feet on my hands so that's to the interest for me. going i want there on.

my calf your feet. where with the end you're out there i made the onion my. dog 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 or the world think it's dangerous and it's. you know our mission is to assist educate protection in conservation programs and their habitat research and when she's not fighting for greater awareness she dedicated his self 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 see to those animals that require intensive medical treatment. one of the more acute cases is

a tragic one evidently someone tried to chop this crocodile's 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 escaped 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 undertake luke will remain in the zoo as a warning the 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 has been causing. that

and when you conducted the new crops every thing. had turned to mush these crocodiles have been slowly dying for months. what's killing them is probably waste water discharge by the sugarcane factories lining the river. murray said tails and her team head out to check on the crocodile populations healthy at night when they're active. 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.

skins are. 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 restrictive 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 then create the most appropriate action plan. croc is right here. 2 months expedition is not a very fruitful one the cim haven't spotted many crocodiles. now he is
