local pledge this week we introduce you to the people and projects what empowering recruit businesses to not only stand tall but also helping the involvement in the process how welcome to equal india. coming to you from my neighborhood in mumbai the human refugee agency has warned that climate change is already forcing of rapidly increasing number of people to leave their homes in such a situation supporting the locals to adapt to these consequences will help to slow down the process in india's appled state provision some apple follows up already working on a collaborative model to support each other and mitigate the effects of climate change.

it's been 35 years since by don't sing it on us started growing apples and him middle a secluded village tucked away in the mountainous state of. apples were introduced by the british in the late 18th hundreds. have now taken over several slopes and this is a good logically fragile region. over the past 10 years follows like donna have started to witness some of the harshest effects of climate change. my ancestral orchard was planted by my paternal grandfather i've also put hard work into caring for these apple trees until 10 years ago i was able to harvest 600 cartons of apples now as a result of climate change and the experiencing some hail storms during the flowering seems that it even gets cold out of season as a result our harvest has declined a lot apples on the main cash crop in crush me and him much

of the and with that are kind but they are there and expensive fruit in india and families have a tough time to the to being means that autos are often scattered and remote which makes the access to a direct market difficult many also own small farms and count afford to invest in efficient packing materials or transportation. i mean one of the biggest disadvantages in the supply chain between farmers and consumers is that it is controlled by several middlemen who eat into the income. but rather wanted the community and him to stand together rather than individually navigate an already unpredictable market. he brought from neighboring villages together with the help of a local trust street juggle them both somebody.

under the project as it is called small farmers are now joined owners of an end to end production system that includes collection procurement sorting grading packing transporting and marketing their produce. businesses and producers are from 2 different worlds and have to deal with different problems. for the producer access to market is an issue not just in india around the world and on the other hand the market needs our ideas to bring. so they can benefit from each other if they come together it's a win win situation. grants

and investments run the system which now includes access to a fully automatic controlled atmosphere storage that holds apples for up to a year. non-local storage means apples can only be kept for 3 months but with oxygen and an increased carbon dioxide concentration level these apples will last longer they've also begun making and marketing other products from the fruit together to produce weakest. as the farmers on profits they begin paying back investors and the economic all of ship of the company gets transferred to the farmers. with diameters hope that the end die of business will be 100 percent farmer owned. since the after project was introduced some farmers have doubled their income. will. be used to team picks up the from the farmers and it does all the

arrangements if but. when given a good price by them you know accordance with that is market rate and all of this while sitting at home. able to send our children to better schools and they were. definitely changed. the apple project has reached 7000 farmers across 90 villages in the traditional apple growing regions of the indian himalayas. together they now call on 43 percent of the venture slowly empowering an agrarian community that doesn't always get its do. called mining continues to destroy small towns and settlements in many parts of the world people were forced to leave their homes because the. big holes were dug

and what happened after the miners moved away most of the time. in brandenburg a biologist has found a way to bring the lost back to life. one step closer to extinction opencast mines in germany. here in the east extract in brown coal in 2023 for decades the digging in secure energy supplies and jobs but it's also a dirty business. main contributor to c o 2 missions and a blow to the landscape now blank and ripped off its by diversity and vegetation and homes christina collects grew up in a village that was destroyed to make way for the shuttles. as it's been for one day i went to school with my brother in the morning everything was normal and then when we came back in the afternoon and walked to our house at the end of the village they had already removed all the windows and doors of the houses demolition

started on that day and for me it was very eerie and it was as if dead eyes were looking back at me and it still feels like it was only today. losing her home and seeing nature vanish left a mark on her life today the biologist is giving the region's deserted landscape a new face by bringing back local flora duck to the green heart this meadow in the midst of the open mine is the core of a 1200 hectare pig area for conservation giving regional and sconce vegetation like fielkow weed a home. everyone has a boat in this i could cry when i'm here it just warms my heart because it is so beautiful 90 percent of the vegetation here on the red list of threatened species that would in the state of a ship a safe haven for the wild and wreck the green heart was the 1st thought in the open

mind to be restored in 2009 it's a team effort between the local coal company and clients with the know how about wild plants ecologists from all over the world visit to learn about this project. city back before i now see post mining landscapes as an opportunity for nature huge spacious that are solely reserved for nature with out settlements. in the future this concept will be applied to many more spaces one example so the parks are usually embedded in fields with only a little plan for writing out here especially blended combination of regional flowers blossom and focus you know cats that's an important pillar for her business close to the open mind she and her team grow wild and raffle hours for regional and e.u. conservation projects and it's also here on the company's farm where they're pretty use the sea mixes unlike cultivated plants the seed of wild ones are ripe for

harvesting at different times and they are harvested by hand a tough job. for the great a nap we the fields need to be checked every day to not miss the moment before the wind carries away all see. if. it's learning by doing and lucrative depending on size and harvesting technique seats can cost from 352-1600 euros piccolo by the end of the year cuts into crew will have tons of the valuable goods the business that one started with 2 employees in 2011 today keeps 25 scientists and workers busy conservation role now requires that only regional seeds are used in such restoration projects and his company is one of the 1st to offer these must also making expert analysis rescuing threatened plants or relocating ons so nothing gets lost its clients that being an

every little thing in nature on this planet in this universe is somehow interconnected we belong together also humans belong to this and if i lose a part of it then i lose part of the whole thing and a bit of myself this is where my personal motivation comes from. and that's also why christina katz wants to go further. asked the barren lands around the open mind nearby are getting greener and the business is growing she's offering her knowledge abroad where there are still many open minds and spaces that could be revived interregional plants next on the list for blossoming landscapes and by diversity could be australia. more and more people from rural areas are moving to the cities across the world they hope to find work there or enough money for themselves and their families but many

a time they struggle to make ends meet an entrepreneur in mumbai is hoping artisans gain access to the global marketplace so that they can get a better price for their products and ensure a secure future. the harvey is a means of finding. it's easier 2nd largest governing to square kilometers and situated only a few minutes from mumbai is a financial district it is also mumbai is largest manufacturing center the harvey is a hive of activity here porters with roots in the state of gujarat who work and live alongside those early embroiders from out of rubbish garment makers and plastic recyclers crossed paths with metal smiths and a makers antanas in all there are more than 10000 skilled craftsmen here. it was this energy that drew entrepreneur. 80 years ago this is the phrase very

closely and if you give the makers the liberty and access to grow the one country will grow. up does idea was to raise the heart of the market out of relative obscurity by setting up an online marketplace better artisans can advertise their workshops and products now they can reach clients far beyond the potential is huge part of these workshops and goods both over $60000000000.00 rupees or about $800000000.00 euros each year. every little need is like a mini factory where you have. different world shops producing different things and it's sourced self-sufficient. because they're not educated they're weiss's and not hold i believe by by a launching a website for them and. putting their products and their will on line for the

larger market to see i am sort of giving them a wise. ones are cons workshop meets leather goods and specializes in wallets before starting to send its product on the heart of the market dot com it had sales of about 230000 euros a year but meager grouped up toward the workshop could do better especially if it switched from animal hides to planted. agreed and now this company only uses artificial leather made from recycled paper it doesn't care is easy to work with and it's washable. we will do this eco friendly material to various trade fairs so that corporates can order in bulk and the whole idea is again to move toward sustainability. each product is photographed and uploaded to the website at the beginning may god

have just 5 artisans on the harley market dot com now it showcases more than 300 book shops. between 10 and 25 percent of the craftsman's prices depending on what you but this is a it is worth it and that their incomes have increased by 20 to 40 percent thanks to direct access to a much broader market. when muhammad got ranchi it 1st came to the harvey he had to leave its family behind and father would be hard. by 11 my family used to live in the village but now they live here with the kids go to school i can now afford the fees and the rent earlier i could order. a lot of the small walk shops and how we have signed up to make a passport it's of indeed yet book that has a much larger him to enhance the held unsustainable development of the entire community. now we all have to invest in our

planet it's up to us to protect our climate and the environment that we live in to invest in and run an environmentally friendly company in a country like india is very hot but what if a company could actually make profits by protecting the environment it is possible let's see how. poverty in the countryside. and western affluence in the capital gary van armenia is a country marked by stark contrast awareness and knowledge. until $9091.00 armenia was a part of the former soviet union after the collapse of communism the country fell into an economic crisis and still hasn't fully recovered small and mid-sized companies struggle. so environmental protection has to yield profits. that this is still

a serious 2014 hour new waste water recycling unit has saved us over 100000 euros that all. companies here have rarely put much thought into environmentally friendly production but things are starting to change. the market thank you so if we reorganize our production successfully then it also makes good business sense. i mean years economy is largely dominated by agriculture cereals fruit and vegetables are the main crops like here at the foot of mount ararat with some 3000 hours of sunshine a year peaches apricot some plums grow in abundance. are gone for. this fruit found i turned his harvests into giant fruit he switched to organic production and no longer uses chemical fertilizers and pesticides.

that go to a local environmental n.g.o.s help to make the switch financial support comes from the international climate initiative the organization advises companies about sustainable practices. their fruit farm is ovens and now solar powered and have more efficient ventilation the fruit jarring process is now 5 times faster saving energy than cost. are just on the move. production in armenia and our region isn't big enough to compete with neighboring countries such as iran or turkey since armenia is a small country that needs competitive products fruits and dried fruits or among those products further to the joint fruit now has an e.q. organic set if you. nation and these days also sells and fronts he the role model with without any adult it's also about the person when he starts some think he want

to finalise it and finish it with a good result. many armenian businesses would like to get their foot in the door of european markets but before that can happen they need to improve production standards and boost their environmental credentials. industry accounts for just 25 percent of armenia's g.d.p. today noon or hurt union is visiting battery factory on the outskirts of yerevan by products of the production process so if you're a cassadine lead used to end up in the factories wastewater that the company has now found a clean a solution not many people are necessarily analyzing or viewing the process because business person looks on his benefits how here as the business and it's not necessary that you know almost all the details on the impact on the environment. the car batteries it cooled before they're charged the factory now uses technology

that cleans the cooling water after the charging process so it can be recycled. meanwhile in this bakery left over pastry is no longer simply thrown away. it's turned into biscuits. sometimes the solutions are simple any bread that isn't sold is turned into bread crumbs a number of the ngos ideas and the bread crumbs have proved a bestseller. to produce anything in your book is often too expensive that's why a lot of local producers. under pressure it's especially hard for small farmers who can't produce as cheap as their competitors abroad for example shepherds in germany

are unable to sell their sheep and this unfold boy is often and what a waste that is a caring exactly that and is now turning things around for. a flock of sheep blazing in the shade. the 1st lambs of the year have arrived and so shepherd florian high's has brought his animals to rest in a green patch between warehouses and factories in the industrial ruhr area in western germany. normally he keeps his flock on the move he's one of the few shepherds left in the country. there are around a 1000 professional shepherds left in germany that's not so many really i don't know many young people who want to do this job i'll continue to do it with passion until i have to step down it's certainly a dying profession that nobody wants to do you don't make much money you just don't

get rich doing it i mean how do you guys that are. the sheep are eventually sold for their meat but municipalities also pay shepherds to have their flocks graze on public land. but wool has become a losing business these days sales don't even cover the costs of having the sheep sheared so that some a beautiful merino wool. is mitt romney and i have merino sheep because they still have the best quality wool i get over a euro per kilo. one colleagues of mine who have other breeds get a lot less they get $45.00 to $0.65 per kilo. of some of them don't sell it any more choosing to burn the world or toss it instead. they're going to. his wool goes to china where it's processed and ends up in bedding upholstery carpets and other textile

products some of these end up back on the european market where they're sold at high prices that make spaghetti pappa furious as to talent it's totally absurd buyers here purchase the wall and send it all the way to china for washing and it sent to paris where it's packaged and suddenly everyone wants it. gives you half it is a self-taught tailor she initially trained to be a dental assistant now she's a businesswoman with a passion for wool she calls her products mosel tweed dyson fan for having i'm a fan of harris tweed which is also so i wondered whether the wall from the sheep in our region was also suitable for fabric and it turns out that it's very suitable for cloth and at that point i told myself that i do my best to save local wool one of the cloth is made in germany soley from wool out of the region she already has

about $100.00 metres in stock the company produces vests caps and sport coats from the material. so most of us have to receive support from the back and failed spinning wheel in a globalized textile market producing fabric regionally is difficult the production costs are too high the quantity is too low. for wool is processed here died and spun into yarn. wool from german sheep barely plays a role in the international market. because. we get our wool from all over the world from new zealand australia and south america also from england. depending on the requirements we have to meet we get our wool from everywhere so one foot in bali on. this mill receives only about 10 tonnes of wool from germany

each month compared to the $220.00 tons it gets from new zealand wool from down under is pure and wool from other places it's softer and cheaper too because it's produced very efficiently the vatican felt spinning wheel wants to promote local wool but has no illusions about the future of wool from germany have always wanted to sadly consumers today are not willing to pay higher prices at the retail level they're more interested in getting new products faster they want to see trends and changes in fashion so the cost has to be low it would be nice if people could change their priorities and still. get a cup of remains enthusiastic about her will in fabric it may be expensive but demand from high quality sustainable fashion is growing her mission is to eventually produce quantities approaching 10000 metres of her muzzle tweet. about human beings i'm not islands we thrive and supportive and caring for each

other i hope this episode has given you a few ideas to extend your support anyone in need in these trying times especially in your neighborhood. i'll leave you with that call to see you again next week until then good but.
