to share with a time beautiful d, w books on youtube. as managers to go today, nothing ever change. you know, the banks pay huge fines and so watch the language of a bank is money. speaking the truth, global news that matters. d. w, made for mines. oh, i the hello everyone, and welcome to these new edition of africa. the environment magazine brought to you by a tv and uganda, detailed lee, germany, and niger is own channels, television. i am chris lamps coming to you from lagos. today will be chris crossing

the african continent and also check it out on the you had called the vision project in germany. let us trip crease. and one of the project is generating a lot of buzz. you will see what they mean in a b. i am sandra tree. nobody with a one will come from compiler, hit in uganda. this is take a look at what we've got in store for you today. what can we do with because it doesn't produce enough food in there will be kenya. people coming up with solutions and stuff, african farmers are embracing more sustainable farming. we've been helpful, sweet and friendly creatures from abroad. if we want to assure the well being of people, we're not planted, protecting resources and food security, keep whether it is water, land, or biodiversity. every last leads to in balance how we have a minor it. we seem extreme with events in the countryside, for example, can lead to food shortages in cities. and with more people moving to urban centers,

the pressure to provide food for the growing population is increasing. now on africa, white initiative in to get things going in the city of themselves. here is an example from nairobi. this is a forest of vegetables driving in a small courtyard. vertical farming makes it possible. so these improve food security and urban kenya. levine, sal cage grows, producing vessel plants and socks when a small farming gets in gala on the outskirts of ny would be she cultivates vintage and kill full household consumption unfulfilled. it's what was so interesting about it is how, like you can send one suck can hold up to $150.00 plan. so that one was a bit economy quote for me. and it's something that if you late don't,

can cover like a big face. but here you see it has just taken us more space, but how many she uses less water and spend less time and money on weeding. she was introduced to the new method by me, m i t of urban green farm. the organisation sells vertical farming bags to interested parties, and as also teamed up with local n g o to sets up gardens in informal settlements on the compact spaces available in urban areas. mostly what we do, we help mostly people to, to set up their kitchen garden. you think the small space that they have and also their balconies. that is, we are trying to help people to embrace a bunch farming. and because mostly people are moving to the urban areas and they cannot be able to access a healthy vegetables, we mighta was drained by the african associations or vertical farming. the

nonprofits initiative helps to promote climate friendly agricultural practices, associations, pena coordinator, saying wrong training courses for young people. and some of the techniques that work vertical guidance, hydroponics upon x and idol pointing. so basically, we see the youth as the future of africa. and also the women tech committed, big push on a claim. it's for security in africa. so we see that if empower these to the africa with the from security move deck into the next level over the last 3 years. there sufficient st. more than 1500 women and young people around can. the cost is cover everything from crop management and watering them. the pest control and the use of bio for allies is vertical gardens has its own training facility. here, emphasis is placed on ways of saving the planet from carbon emissions and excessive

energy use. people i encourage to grow food close to home to help cut down the use of feeling during transportation. if i can grade myself, then it's better for me to better for the environment as a whole, reduce the amount of cars on the road, the amount of carbon emissions, the amount of transport needed from the supplier to come to this market from this for market being a hefty electricity bill in terms of power and, and refrigeration services. food security is a major problem in kenya. produce losses often reach up to 50 percent. suppose habits for each problem. and initiate the call. the g youth group came up with a way to help and, and grow as get more value for their product and cut down with age. they also pay $3.00 times more per bunch than brokers. the freshman annessa dried, crushed and processed into a fortified flower put the fetches good prizes,

which also means more money for the farmers using the mortar. we helpful, but none of this can also be used in different food types of food. so these can improve their food security on the, for the storage. so the issue of hunger will be eliminated. there is your food will be admitted. that is, your pharmacy going to at a loss will be eliminated g stand. now, once you increase its drying and storage area, commodities more bananas, it also wants to start milling in bulk and expand sales nationwide. the plot can be use all stored for several months on this for loving. so cage for vertical side is doing so well. she's already thinking about adding more vegetable varieties. one of the many advantages of vertical phones is our independent or not sure, pollinators. but louis still plenty of food going in the great outdoors. and for us

we still need help from e. 6. think the butterflies and the big bad colon collapse is a serious problem around the world. and environmentally friendly solution is really needed on the switch. doing a bit is definitely stays in the right direction. ah . it's the same distressing site year after year when barrow might infiltrate to be colony. the result is devastating. in response, many beekeepers drink the hives with forming asset. it kills of the parasites, but it also causes some be used to tear out but own and 10 i so industrial designer for that pud huston, a few of his friends wanted to see if they could solve the problem in a more natural way than that we found research studies that outline how be creat

hives in nature. colonies do very well in 3 hollows of wounded hugo the even to keep the vero am i to day without the need to make acid work. so the team constructed an artificial tree hollow from recycle plastic lined with him. poland clay, the honeycomb sits on top. the dry climate inside is not favorable to the might. so they stay away. after a year of testing, the time has come to move the bees into then you home. the project has been financed through you funding so far, but the inventors have applied for a patent avoidance. we definitely to start a company at some point is to help solve a problem and we think that will only really work if our idea is backed by a business model that can support itself a long time. now they want to set up the crowd funding campaign to enable them to

go into mass production. and till now they've been making the hives on the 3 d printer and philip pod has kitchen. and how about you? if you're also doing your bit, tell us about it, visit our website, or send us a tweak tag doing your bit. we share your stores hers. here on equal africa, we've talked about how electric mobility can be better for the environment. bonds, here's something new. an entire motorsports, the we've featuring electric vehicles, raising awareness about climate change out its consequences. it's called extreme e n. his holds races in the most extreme places on earth. in the desert, the ocean even on and toxic, was ice. so walk can motor racing do for the environment in africa to find out what

went along to raise hell to get is the backdrop of salt lake on 70 goes. atlantic coast lot grows located just behind center gold, atlantic coast. under the daytime sun, its surface turn a beguiling pink color due to the mass of algorithm thrive in the lakes high salt content. this is one of the locations chosen for a rather unique moderating event. the extreme e. c. u. launch to raise awareness about critical environmental issues. use the area as a platform to inform about the different sites set up. ocean globally is, is being faced with recently electric off, roaders descended on the beach and june, here for the 2nd race and the extreme e. c. u e. it's one of 5 regions chosen around the globe that are under acute strain from climate change. the cars are fitted with 550 horse power martyrs

powered by especially developed hydrogen fuel felt. so be emissions in this case comprise just water. the area around the lake is blighted by waste. animals have lessened less land to graze on the villages between the sea and the lake of putting a burden on the local environment. as part of the racing event, the organizers make an effort to help local residents. the idea was to be the sustainability projects, so the communities were involved on the get go and the idea for them to be able to impulse and keep changing their own neighborhood and community. so they are in charge. there are the steering wheel after the race, the event organizers take a trip down the river, but not for pleasure. the project also includes a man group planting campaign, have teamed up with senegalese, and yours and young and local fishermen to create what a huge man go forth stretching from across to the sea. i am planting mongers to

ensure that both of us to continue and the small fish have a place to feed on before they got into the ation. and to just help the local plan is to plant 1000000 seedlings paid for by the extreme 18 reef. and decades have been immense damage to the habit of the birds, insects and fish, while fishermen's hold up continued to fall. representative, we still had the majority of the man growth in senegal disappeared in the wake of the great drives of 969-1971 the internet. and now we want to use the plan to help nature to recover. and so that it can secure the livelihoods of fish. and it is, it is an emergency room. lucas on the fisher. meanwhile, it's live as usual in the nearby town of yaga few have taken notice of the pro conservation of road race and would in any case before it is he financial support on it? because i just think we're basically around the corner from lack cause but i don't

think the organizers have provided any money here for schools or health care facilities. my, my, my boss, the us, the normally the 1st thing and i think the local infrastructure. but as far as i know, that's not happening, the end of the anyone priority for the event organizers among them form a model raising champion nicole ross bag is raising global awareness. the races i held at places where the effects of climate change are especially harsh endeavor, regions close to areas, and the arctic circle. the project partners hope the race and planting scheme here will have a long lasting positive impact. next, it's off to all being. yeah, this country in salt isn't europe, suffers from a number of environmental problems, contaminated and own treated with torture are 2 of the more challenging the poor conditions of even prompted. so might be

a farmers to migrate to italy and search of better circumstances. now, a local initiative is hoping to offer an eco friendly solution that will make it easier for families to stay home. i'll see on lama takes lots of photos. the mountains of northeast and albania are so beautiful. he work for p. p. any a. the country's largest environmental m g o. he promotes sustainable farming practices for the sake, both of nature and local people. so they can make a decent living and choose not to leave. this is the chorus nic massif. at its foot 0 case, she has a market garden. he grows fruit. his operation could inst, by others to follow suit, especially young people. he cultivates berries. traditionally, people gathered wild ones in the mountain and if there are, let's see plantation,

socio lama says such market gardens could be a fruitful source of income for more families around here. that's the case. she worked for several years in italy. you saved out some money, came home and began farming. she's well being and she was in, i'm a senior. he started with eroni barry's 5 years ago. before branching out, adventure is proving to be a success was in july, his product was certified as organic by an agency in germany. and that's something he's very proud of via the dirt is going to get, i'm going to bought off. if the book i don't use fertilizer, everything is just the same as up in the mountains, the bacteria and the soil, the humans, because they make the plant strong. but cache doesn't need to do any marketing. customers come to him to buy his produce. he's been experimenting with

a number of crops and red love apples, for example, those very recent kelty bar with red flesh resistant to disease totally come home. i mean, it has been mia and go, gee berries from china, base right here to look actually also sells cuttings to those who want to emulate him. buffy and lama would love to see others do precisely that. he collaborates with local foresters, veterinarians, and agronomist. they advise small hold farmers in the mountains, for example, on how to get a bank loan purchase livestock will set up a market garden the correct correct nick, nature park is a lovely place to hike. but visitors are few and far between because of the pandemic love downs and travel restrictions,

the people and flocks who live here on pretty much alone. i'm re feeder is a shepherd. he has a hard time making a living. but unlike many of his contemporaries who go abroad, he wants to stay in moscow, lama often comes up here to the mountain pastures to talk to the local and find out what problems they face and help work on solutions. and they say it's getting harder and harder to find places for their flocks to graze the numbers of the see be decreasing every year. and the, let's see, the frogs have taken over the bus or a lamp, the bus or area, the main problem that they are losing. you can part of the monster. it's a vicious circle. amory family spends the summer months in the mountains. they spend the winter down in the village. marie's mother doesn't need to worry

about her son. he learn to everything he knows from her. he knows he doesn't lead a comfortable life like people in the city. but he also knows that he has a lot more than his family did a 100 years ago. people i don't know my leg. oh, so as of course i would like to have a big car, luke, but you have to make the choice even if you love this kind of life up here as i do, then you can go and live in a big city. well, you lou, still it's tough tending sheep or growing crops here. and our william for the next year is that we need to, let's say, support this activities and this families in order that they can, let's say, profit from the, from this activity that they are doing. this is the main main thing i'm re feed, as family seemed to be content with their lives. they recently built a new house next to their old one. things have been improving from one generation

to the next. mostly on lama heads off to visit another family. he receives a warm welcome, they don't do the promote. the eldest son was in sweden, but he stuck at home because of the pandemic. muslim lama says the government has to realize that more and more people will leave unless things improve. one issue is the infrastructure. the roads in the mountains are poor. government says should the give help. there's no on the go or the home. yeah. the difficult them a tradition is all well and good. what should we do if we can sell what we make? just good guessing. the nearest areas, 50 kilometers away for there are no government guarantees, we get no government support, scar this guy cold. so it's hard to maintain. traditions is not working,

you're on of it, but if you're doing push of steel, it's often easier to make money abroad than to continue farming. here the area might be beautiful, but without jobs or prospects, young people will continue to go away. far away. on next report is about some relatively new arrivals to the african continent originally from the south american. and is these really 4 legged creatures have managed to set to in nicely and some farms in south africa? yes. be, have creased on not only isn't they proved to be surprisingly helpful. they perform a lot of useful tasks in the yard and garden on the also generously provide the owners something luxurious to keep them warm. when temperatures drop and a here be of friendly to these happy grades is willing to part of the

original plan for this property. but today it's hard to imagine the police without them be eating and pooping, boost, biodiversity, and promote soil health. hello, george. hello freddy, hello l. c. when paula, despair he bought this old pair farm. the quality of the soil was a poor. so she decided to acquire some animals to help rejuvenate the basically the alpaca along with the, the hens along with the rabbits that we now also have. they are helping us heal or soil. because after all of that was years of performing or soil was really dead, there was very little insect life, very little animal life, very little other plants were able to thrive. and now we're putting all of those nutrients back in the soil, from what we call our celebrity animals. i would pack a droppings, also known as a pack of bins i reach in nitrogen and potassium,

an ideal for the laser, for the vegetable patch. then we've got all herbs, we've got about 20 varieties of, of herbs on the property. here's some, some time super pungent and then some different edible, edible flowers that were growing dispute. he says she was inspired to press his permaculture, regenerative agriculture during south africa. the 1st looked on in 2020, her interest grew up watching documentaries and climate change and, and farming performing requires huge amounts of herbicides and pesticides. and we didn't want to spray. so we thought, how can we use the space better and we weren't sure whether we were going to have food security. so we decided to grow veggies in between the rows of perez and up the the pairs using the path as a trellis. and it grew from now, i'll packers, and also part of the landscape at this firm in tone of weddington. grabbing, glean host was the 1st to import the species last weakness from its native american

. just talk to different school but then there was only a few dozen packers in the country. today, the number has gone to almost 1500 green government. has long been convinced of the virtues which they pu in mittens. and that can be picked up and they made into an organic composite. and when we had our tree ministry, we use that to fertilize the trees in the small bags. and they also used for guiding sheep. they've the eyesight and the hearing is very good. and so a lot of farm is nice and keep using your package so that when it comes to going to farming davis, if occasion is key for the city has made a deal with local western, she delivers fresh produce and also collect the opening with the wall restaurants or non drug in boxes, it's a win win situation book. so we are happy to do that. that's

a good thing to just to save all of a search that we would throw away for them on their phone. they can still use it from manage them. we can blue beaudry prepares the ways to forms and turn into complet mall. the excel if i want a break it's but sometimes it's not necessary because that gives you the edge and also for the garden. look at the way the you just one end, look you're very, it be the breeding. the end result is a natural for allies and known as one t bud receives the model can be repeated anywhere to grow organic food. and there seems to be a market for a i think everyone during lockdown has, has taken perhaps more interest in the health and the nutritional wellbeing. and i

think now is the time we have a window of opportunity with small businesses like this are becoming more sought after. and i see that because i started with no customers, and now i have nearly 100 where they might be a little list, happy to be shown, then when the left in peace to greece. i'll talk as are also used for the award it still a small scale industry here in south africa. but as the popularity of the animals increases, demand for the high quality, soft and silky piece is likely to store through that's all for the submission of echo africa. we hope you found today's story, this pirate. if you're doing something to protect the environment, let us know for now. it's good bye for me, chris, a lapse in lagos, nigeria. see you next week, sandra lincoln. case and it's all of you of us out there and do not forget you can always get in touch with those media platforms. i am under 3 nobody signing also
