at sports. industry leaders in the dark i. mean 45 minutes on d w. w's crime fighters are back to africa's most successful radio drama series continues all of disowns are available online and of course you can share and discuss on p.w. africa's facebook page and other social media platforms that crime fighters tune in now. they hit and healthy and move in just cost and trained the food so. that's it for me super food means what does you get because super foods are super for my body was. king well and she is seeds just 3 of the countless super foods in big demand due to the nutritional credentials is good only for the point is what

a person needs to have there's complete confusion on that issue and varies and now you see these products where we're told you need this if you eat this you'll get well or you won't get sick of it but it's not really true for them so much. how does super food hype impact on local people in countries where the products are actually grown. sons the continued increase in demand have the potential to even destroy entire ecosystems. benson were on the road to disaster here if something doesn't change and the region will turn into a desert about. this soup of food craze started as his so often the case in the us. and now super food

restaurants on a time in cities around the world face it dishes with exotic ingredients such as avocado chia and keen one which come with the promise of making new slim healthy and happy. customers in this ristorante bottom germany like it. looks healthy and you know you're doing something good for your body just. i like to eat a lot but i like to eat healthy too this is a perfect mix of this lots of healthy stuff here and it's good to have a change from cafeterias other places intentionally. killed in clown recognized nation opened his business about a year ago. he came up with the recipes himself. his pain is to offer a healthy alternative to fresh financed food. yes this is another one of the reasons why we're here is because it's much easier to eat stuff

that's bad for you with an eating healthier way and we want to change that and with the term super food you attract more customers than if you call yourself for healthy food. the food here is served in special bowls warming greens to combined with cold months most of them rule the food is supposed to look tasty and have an exotic such. a sure but the nice thing about a bowl like this is that there are a lot of individual foods in it a that makes it nice and colorful and being it's good for your body because each individual ingredient contains the minerals and vitamins i phone but it's now stuff spectrum and that makes it a perfect meal effect months will be in these are our kidney bean balls. chickpeas. yum and in fine here we have a keen one in ancient nko grain from south america climate science the composite on the other. it's it's

a grain that is cooked with water and contains loads of healthy proteins in the nest oftentimes about 3 because in the part that you know but i was super foods really all i cracked up to be the protein content of kenya for example is comparable to every chain millet's. kenya has more fun about. 15 minutes has more than twice as much ion. fluorine club as a lot of his ingredients at the balkan wholesale market which boasts local products and foreign products like sweet potatoes to as always quality flush inside the freshness of the products is important to florian when he shopping. i need to herbs like there goes. you have come to the right place. the mix is key to florence menu he combines local fruits and veggies with foods from

faraway lands. did this open to the skin every further and vegetable has its own nutritional composition that's why it's so nice to combine the local with the exotic because many diverse nutrients vitamins and minerals come together and they form a very complex meal so and that's great for the body. parts. but healthy doesn't necessarily mean sustainable this is super food served up in germany come from countries thousands of kilometers away. again why is a good example among the major produces is believe the variety that sells best in germany. is harvested on salt flats. the indigenous peoples of the south american and his highlands were already farming kinloss 6000 years ago when you treat rich grain has always been a staple food here. you are in the us

is a sustainable farming consultant for years he's been watching how kamal cultivation has developed in the region. after using military. on these relatively sailing in poor soils with little rainfall we find a crop that can deliver fantastic yields. and doesn't fit in with the llamas it's an ingenious or ideal form of production and is good for the region's economy itself was here for these are your. tax changing shops used to provide food for the llamas and protect the soil from erosion after the harvest the animals came to graze llama dung provided fresh nutrients since the king want them started farmers have been pushing for maximum yields while the scrub land is being treat.

i was shocked by the fact that 152200000 hectares of llama grazing land has been ploughed up for keene one. does not preach to but i'm sure. there are no chemo fields as far as the eye can see rising demand has led to massive expansion in the plant's cultivation tearing the fields has left the soil without the vegetation that had protected it from wind a russian. as a regular lord. does and when you walk along here you only see annual wage growing now they're completely unprotected. ultimately what we're doing is promoting the development of high land desert. or the farmers won't have the conditions they need to produce here so people have to go elsewhere. as wonders in game. that change is already making itself felt with crop yields declining some farmers have already given up and gone to the cities to make

a living as unskilled laborers and bolivia is just one place where the superfood monoculture has left the men scarred. because. you know as in this is the problem we see here with keen what is basically going on everywhere around the world to do it's own in the moment. take the avocado for example as a super food it's grown as a monoculture on large farmers and it's the able to keep. profits become the priority short term economic interests override everything else. all but hardly anyone really thinks about what will become of these ecosystems so people also live. with massive demand for avocados has led to problems in countries that grow the fruit just as it has with king what he did in bolivia within

a decade the area of land used to grow avocados increased by 30 percent with 1500 liters of water now needed per kilo pitched in germany such as lettuce and tomatoes require far less. enormous single crop farms especially in dry regions only ensure a short term high yields raising cain while the traditional way is based on a different principle using less land but yielding better quality. kalani found a small plot of land it takes a 2 weeks to harvest the field by hand since tractors and now used to grow clean water more easily everywhere in the flatlands there are a few people left who want to tour away on hill farms yet this is the final of. i mean marsters i would rosa i am this is the way sisters work the fields back then

. our grandparents' stores have parents and our parents taught us. that we have to plow this up every year are these key members this is yes exactly the old roots and you leave these tweaks here. and. we rake them using tools like this. i think that's a way of working the soil. health care. and there's a lot of it i think. it's a traditional system that's been practiced for centuries. that's why now here even here there is room for improvement in terms of sustainability. but compared to a mechanized farming town in the lower than plains this is more environmentally friendly as. the soil has time to regenerate between the 2 harvests he

on the hillsides the plants large the individual kernels plant. yes at the end in march and to me and 3rd see this clones here it's yielding really well. look at the seed heads the kernels are nice and ripe but our standards these are the best grains we store them and use them as you make. your community has brought along some key more from a german supermarket. he wants to show the farmers how the grain they grow here is sold in consumed in europe. commerce all the post there is going to how do you feel about germany and europe suddenly discovering keane was a superfood it was really meant to suppress. their national product again not is that both product didn't used to be well known. in the word hadn't got around yet about how much protein it hands. it used to cost less than rice and pastor.

like it or not this year they said came well wasn't worth that much rush back in our. product line as i was farming is we're a little proud that kim was now known all over the world the the new there are more in the air. over to the from the farmers compare the keen laugh from the german supermarket with what they've just harvested from their own field it's all it's the perimeter of the box as class one but even our class 2 is bigger than their victims there's a form of. i'd say it's class 3. in june and these little ones here they're nothing that's a chicken feed the stories in this new. pope is done with this field for today further up the hillside she has another plot of front sheen what it needs harvesting.

when the superfood been started in 24 change the price fixing what went through the roof back then even small villages like c.s.i. planted profited from this trend. it's time to just 7 families. they were able to buy new equipment such as a small grain sorting machine. that made work easier in 2015 just a year later the market price collapsed again. much what you have to earn from keene was grown on the hillside for it to pay off. they'd have to pay us a lot more for our production costs to be covered. plus we need to feed our families. because you know when you've got

a woman things in the oven in the middle question. the development of the price fixing what and bolivia looks like a roller coaster ride in 2014 it peaked at just over $3000.00 a tonne but only 3 years later it plummeted to a lower value than before the game began. you could think you see. the expansion of kenya farming on the plains can also lead to major fluctuations in its price. and the whole farmer suffer because they can't compete and don't get paid more despite the additional effort involved in working on the hillsides. among. the farming is sustainable with high quality yields but this way of working the land is at risk of dying out european consumers are relatively unaware of the pharmacy problems while the super

food selections in the supermarkets keeps on growing between 20142016 the turnover generated by super foods in germany rose from 1400000 to 42600000 euros the best seller is chia which accounts for 62 percent of sales but what's best to buy from such a large selection. consumed meant as a consumers are completely confused. so they're vulnerable to advertising based on faith often it's like religion. if i show up promising a miracle and people in need of orientation are ready to believe it that's the concept behind super foods from super fast. doctor and you trish and specialist mathias riedel inspects the super foods on the shelves of the hamburg supermarket ginger tried berries chia customers find a wide variety of supposedly healthy products. the list of ingredients shows what's

really inside. and you could think this is the natural food section. but here we have cranberries. you don't see it right away but they have an extra 40 percent sugar. and sunflower oil which isn't the best oil. so this bag of cranberries has more sugar in it than a bar of chocolate almost 70 percent off as well so there are anything but healthy as. she is seeds containing the very best nutrients but they usually consumed in very small quantities. super foods are just a diversion from the real problem. the german diet isn't healthy enough and adding 15 grams of chia seeds daily won't change it but that's exactly what happened chia seeds are something of an alibi food to make up for an otherwise unhealthy diet.

15 grams provide even less omega 3 fatty acids than for example a generous portion of walnuts. flax seeds could be another alternative to. each has more protein and about the same proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids although when it comes to count flax seed can't compete . big industry is eager to join this superfine trend even long term staples such as ready to sit cereals and now being supplemented with exotic grains and berries. here are 2 examples of what's going wrong. if they've got far too much sugar and just a smidgen of cranberry to let the consumer know look it's got fruit and forked ish

the percentage of cranberries is well below 5 percent negligible. the key here is the high level of sugar it's unhealthy and neutralizes anything beneficial the dried cranberries contribute to good torpid cranberry for. lingonberries arnold to try and bridge that grow in europe for example the sugar content in tranter is bad juju in a relatively sour taste. to the dr version. superfood isn't a registered trademark but it does suggest a positive effect on consume a health that's not always the case. here's a nice example 100 percent natural doesn't mean 100 percent healthy this small portion for 2 euro's gives you 47 grams of sugar or 100 grams of product that isn't so eating this little bagful means nearly 25 grams of sugar. that's the world

health organizations maximum daily intake recommendation so that's pretty much it for the day if you look at some cons of that. i think trish an expert advice is people in gym need to eat local fruits and vegetables even if they lose trendy. produce has an image problem and we need to inform people about how good these food colors are for us and the benefits of our local products. and in high mission public now the valley always have a natural antiinflammatory a fact whether it's chives garlic or leak. there are local alternatives in germany for many of the seas foods and they don't have to be shipped thousands of kilometers to get to supermarket shelves and there is sound choice on the nutrients front. barry has 7 times more calories than the humble black cart. primarily because of the fullness high sugar

content. and when it comes to vitamin c. the black current easily outstrips the goji. some so-called super foods come from countries where farming regulations are not as strict as in germany sample measurements have shown some may contain pesticides and hit the metals this lab in braman specializes in detecting hazardous substances in food not the products and has tested the lungs of goji berries. during pesticide screening we checked for the presence of about $200.00 different pesticides these include insecticides fungus sides and herbicides we also screen for for heavy metals cadmium arsenic and mercury in cricklewood what we primarily found insecticides in higher concentrations of the main office.

at and not just in coaching berries samples from other institutes of indicated the presence of pesticides and mineral oil in rural cocoa she is c. and the ring padda. the pesticide issue isn't a problem with keane while many producers have organic certification but that doesn't make the farming sustainable tractors churn up the dry soil and with demand growing the land being farmed now stretches from the hills to the flat lands with no end in sight. is concerned that if things go on like this there won't be any more growing he one day the farmers are already telling him that the yields a shrinking from year to year. conclusions that could be drawn from this are being made that people need to ask above all what

can we actually do differently instead of saying ok stop ploughing all that up the message should be 0 how can we produce without destroying the whole region here. you work in mills is headed for the community of the day or where they're also cranking wa in the flatlands using making eyes to farming. they came up to revive this village and many locals returned from the big cities because they could make a living here again houses will rebuild and a modest level of affluence developed in the form of passives like tractors and other machines. and the villages went back to fostering local customs such as traditional trends music and rituals. and then the big demand for keen one has had a really positive effect on our community out a bit with the alarm on that our standard of living and our quality of life have improved enormously must only. be that. the way they grow kenya in

retirement needs to change fundamentally if they are to maintain that the crop is farmed according to organic standards that natural vegetation is still being largely cleared that we can soil quality. have a look at this tall a plant and the way its root system is formed. the roots are still firmly anchored in the soil i go several meters down into the ground even wouldn't explain talking to take your own this is one of the most important species to maintain fertility in this extremely dry region. it stops winter roshon. and helps keep water in the soil. if the decline in soil quality continues soon it will no longer be with the farm i sent it. to the pharmacy about

ways to ensure decent harvests in the long term. the soil is beautifully fertile here because of these here this is a we must produce the keen while with this it's like fertilizer. this is the same time it's food for llamas right now this is i mean. that's the best thing for the cane walk we just have to take all these woody bits and sprinkle them on the field when we say oh we should try that reason i don't. need to produce everything biomass fertilizer on the piece of land itself this is not then it's sustainable and at the same time we also have to reforest. other people are quite skeptical but that's always the case with something new. but people are listening. and this just a place like this makes me optimistic that something can be done with some of the

most modern coach. in the small town of salinas preparations are underway for a market finish with a regional kima pharmacy will be able to present it when it's all the towns in the surrounding area are represented in the showcase of the food that is so vital for the region. you are in mills wants to speak to the exhibit says many export their crops to europe and most produce according to ok thanks standards. they have good on the surface hoping which image consumers will soon know shiny one team of that is found organically but sustainably as well. as deal with his own growth when it's over those that are going to be good if this demand could be used to change farming practices. we have to make it clear that the organic requirements are not nearly enough to produce a keen watch sustainably you know what the potency of. sustainability has to become

a king or farming stand it if the ecosystems in bolivia's highlands are to remain intact and offer the human and animal inhabitants a viable long term future. come
