a change. so finding alternative means of transport is vital for our planning. people from the german initiative transition town bought are doing just that. they provide cargo bikes to anyone, free of charge. most of the bikes work with them. electric motor people reserve the bikes via an online platform, and can pick them up at 6 different locations. for me, it's a small way to help combat climate change to have an alternative to buses, trains, and cars. people always talk about how hard it is to do something for the climate. but with this project it's actually really easy. people use the cargo bikes instead of cars when they go shopping or need to transport larger items. the members of the initiative are all volunteers and the bikes are mainly funded through donations. in the 3 wheelers are now much seen and love sight in the city.

and tell about you, if you are also doing your bit, tell us about his visit our website. oh, send us the tweet, the hash tag doing your wish, asked yours to raise hers. those cargo black sloop really robust at the grid for it to give you legs to work out. now another thing i like about the project is that it is community based and operated. you own a co op rica, we've seen quite a few examples of just how much more corporate tease can accomplish if need crease . one of those in ivory course, the was the biggest producer core beings, but the reason is much profit actually goes to the farmers. although the market for plate is forming a woman's co parties that are to bring more balance into the business model. and the weeping incredible results happening,

the environment is profiting to typically considered the domain of men. there used to be no role in cocoa harvest for these women. but now they're farming and producing themselves. juliet quasi founded a cooperative with women in her own village and the southern part of ivory coast. its aim is to produce cocoa being more sustainably. and to use them for making more than just chocolate. and then it's almost nothing is thrown away. you see that we start with the sticky pulp which is never used in cocoa production. we add flavors and spices to it, which is unusual and innovative. the women use the juice from the pulse to make products such as flavored cocoa beans and the husks to make tea to 40 local women who have joined the cooperative are now earning an income for themselves and their families was not. so if i were my 5th and i used to only work

occasionally when i didn't make much money long and that since i joined the co operative that's changed. well, i can and the equivalent of 4 years 50 every day. i'm happy because thanks to the co operative, i'm now independent and then the majority of ivory coast 26000000 population work and the agricultural sector. 40 percent of the world's cocoa comes from the west african country every year, around $25000000.00 tons of shells and bien husks end up in garbage dumps or are burned. producing more goods from is good for the environment and enables families in the village to earn more from their harvest. we because this is key for fairport. i believe we need to increase the value of our cocoa one to give it more credibility overall. if they sit with my approach, it is the women who are involved in this aspect of their inclusion will make

a real difference here. they will improve the cocoa value chain. yeah. problem i something to until now was the province of men. it's it. julia glossy is making a delivery to a small shop and i'll be sean. that sounds the cooperative products, the flavor to cocoa, beans, spice mixes, and t. the german development agency, g. c, helped to establish the contact among the organizations activities as supporting sustainable initiatives to secure farmers livelihoods across africa. she can be a role model for other women when it comes to expanding that coca processing and developing new products. julia coffee has an apartment and i'll be john in the kitchen. she cooks up her products and experiments with new ideas. the inspiration strikes when i'm in my kitchen,

when i start one recipe and idea for another one pops into my head. i don't know why it just comes naturally and julia quasi is idea of getting more from cocoa pines is catching on. the ivory coast government is in the process of building a bio mass power generation plant that will turn the country's abundance of poker production waste into electricity. now that is what i call efficient putting organic ways to good use our next report office. another take on how you can accomplish 2 things at once if you put your mind in it. but in this case, it's not about using with produce energy. a couple of enterprise and people are gonna have formed a way to make something st. even switzer with the help of a simple organism. these mangles, a looking good joyce meant there has been treating her cheese with organic fertilizers made from allegation growth herself the plan. so now less susceptible

subjectivity, black force diseases, and their food is tasty to changing their lives as to get water. we see that it is good and it gives us much more food and much more healthy ones because we are normal using the chemicals. many farmers here in south it's been gone, the rely on at the official fertilizes and pesticides. so did joyce mensa, until she had valves, an equal aqua poetic system developed in the volta region by to west africa entrepreneurs. each of the $24.00 pools on their farm contains its own small ecosystem. these aquatic plans plans that the fish know from nature. so because use them voraciously and they are very healthy. now is significant the

part about the aquatic plants, because that is what makes the alga we produce unique and powerful. because these aquatic plans provide the bees nutrient from which the algo is call to veto. civil serve a dual purpose to grow all gave the fertilizer and raise fish for food. and frederick come back says the waters clean. i really don't have a problem getting concerned about does this, if a cation and so degradation in the region, the business partner spent years developing their idea. we have seen that soil be in to read it using on wholesome nutrients for, for farming. and it's causing a huge problem and for the environment as well for the quality of food. but it has

to be affordable enough to make going organic, attractive to farmers. the fertilizer which sells for 50 percent was a roughly 7 euro cents inexpensive. yet many farmers still need persuaded if i'm in cooperative in a nearby village has a serious problem with sol degradation. a goal much you de, when new talk to members about the organic method, but many a skeptical one. they mentioned that difficulty of transporting heavy canisters to water, the plants once a week, but the way new insist that the pros outweigh the con. you log blood dummy. yeah, throw the, come across the wash into our what i'm going to switch our fritz. i was the, the fishing the water and also people do doing the thing with that. that's the navy

police advice doctor to farm. so it is having a lot of problems and difficulties in the environment. and we do have us. i think it's where some crops don't come. i thought because of the comic house was not far from the farming cooperative marine biologist called yachts. he has spent, he has conducted his own research. he believes the al gave lies. there has the potential to turn, ghana and africa as a whole, into a hub for organic agriculture production of argue that is integrated with fish a very cost effective way of producing sheep and red d available fat laser for crop duction. ah,

it could in future be unknown, tentative to the constant convention. now that lays out the light, joyce meant, is completely sold on a new approach. she started producing mongers. you, since you now have a more and better quality fruits. at the moment, the juices only sold locally, but if all goes well, she hopes to be able to expand her market in the future. i'm afraid the time has come to say goodbye. we hope you had an amazing time with the program. and of course, be sure to join us again next week. for now. i am sandra, twin over here in compiler, uganda, the ticket and the the long sandra. and to all of us out there, if you have any comments or one to find out more about environment issues, take, i'll also shoot me the channels. and don't forget to send in your feedback. will always happy to hear from you. this is for a live find, you know,

from late. mm. mm . mm. mm. the, the, the, the, the news . the news,

a little crazy, but you've got to start somewhere the, sometimes a seed is all you need to allow the big ideas to grow. we're bringing environmental conservation to life with learning, like global ideas. we will show you how climate change and environmental conservation is taking shape around the world and how we can all make a difference. knowledge grows through sharing. download it now for, for the the me ah, ah
