and explore fascinating world heritage site. the d w. a world heritage 360. now they want to know what the germans love batting thing away. i'm not going to my own everyone with lead a holes and every day getting you ready to meet the german can join me razor to it and the w me the hello everyone and welcome to these new edition of africa. the environment magazine brought to you by a tv, uganda, dw, germany, and niger is own channels television. i am chris lambs called me to you from legals

. today will be criss cross in the african continent, and also check it out on the kinds of vision projects in germany. let us try crease, and one of the project is generating a lot of buzz. you will see what i 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's going to install 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 and friendly creatures from abroad. if we want to assure the world being of people who are not planted, protecting resources and food security, keep whether it is water, land, or biodiversity. every last least in balance, how we have a minor it. we seem extreme weather events in the countryside, for example,

can lead to food shortages in cities. and with more people moving up and centers. the push to provide food for the growing population is increasing. now and africa white initiative in to get things going in the cities themselves. here is an example from nairobi. the 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, produce invisible plants and socks. when a small farming gets in gala on the outskirts of nairobi, she cultivates vintage, and kill for both household consumption unfulfilled. what was so interesting about it is how, like you can find one suck can hold up to 150 plan so that one was a bitter calling economy for me. and it's something that if you late don't cover

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

mitre was drained by the african association for vertical farming. the nonprofits initiative helps to promote climate friendly agricultural practices. yes, decisions. penya coordinator pizza. yeah. saying wrong streaming courses for young people and some of the techniques that work with guidance hydroponics upon eggs and idle pointing. so basically we see the youth as the future of africa. and also the women take a very 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. solicitation is strange. more than 1500 women and young people around can. the cost is cover everything from crop management and watering techniques to 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 and courage to grow food close to hill to help cut down the use of feel during transportation. if it can grid 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 for market from this market being a hefty electricity bill in terms of power and, and refrigerator and services. foot security is a major problem in kenya. produce losses often reach up to 50 percent. you supposed to have a storage problem? an initiative called the g saw youth group came up with a way to help and grow as get more value for the pot up. and cut down with age. they also pay $3.00 times more per bunch than brokers. the freshmen annessa dr.

crushed and processed into a full supply flower. i put the pictures 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 and therefore the storage. so the issue of hunger will be admitted. there is your food waste be eliminated. there is your family going to a loss to be admitted. g stand now wants to increase its drying and storage area to accommodate more bananas. it also wants to start milling in bulk and expand sales nationwide. the fly can be used all sport for several months. for loving cage, vertical sand 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. bond louis, still plenty of food going in the great outdoors. and for that, we still need help from e. 6. think the butterflies and the big bad colon nicolai is a serious problem around the world. and environmentally friendly solution is really needed on this. when doing a bit is just maybe in the white direction. it's the same distressing site year after year when barrow might infiltrate to be colony . the result is devastating. in response, many beekeepers treat the hives with 4 make acid. it kills of the parasites, but it also causes some be used to tear out the own and can i so industrial design of philip put, has been 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 tree hollows of involved in the even though an inch to keep the vero am i to day without the need to make it work. so the team constructed an artificial tree hollow from recycled plastic, lined with temple and clay. the honeycomb sits on top. the dry climate inside is not favorable to the mites, so they stay away. after a year of testing, the time has come to me to bes into then you home. the project has been financed through you funding so far, but the inventors have applied for a patent lawyer and we definitely to start a company at some point. aim is to help solve the problem and we think that will only really work if our idea is backed by a business model that can support itself. that hong kong. now they want to set up

a 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 band. how about you? if you are also doing your best, tell us about it, visit our website, or send us a tweak tag doing your bit. we share your stories, hers. here on equal africa, we've talked about how electric mobility can be better for the environment bond. he's something new, an entire motor sports, the we've featuring electrically cause 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 an touch, goes ice. so what can motor racing do for the environment in africa?

to find out what went along to a raise held against the backdrop of salt lake on 70 goes atlantic coast. the luck grows located just behind center gold, atlantic coast. under the daytime sun, its surface turn a beguiling pink color due to the mass of alga that thrive in the lakes high salt content. this is one of the locations chosen for a rather unique, moderate, and event. the extreme e. c u e. launch to raise awareness about critical environmental issues. use the area as a platform to inform about the different sites that are ocean globally is, is being faced with. recently, electric off road is descended on the beach and june, here for the 2nd race and the extreme, the theories. it's one of 5 regions chosen around the globe that are under acute strain from climate change. the cards

a faded with 550 horse power motors 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 impose and keep changing their own neighborhood and community. so they are in charge. they 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 your and young and local fishermen to create what will be a huge man,

go forth stretching from across to the sea. i am planting mongers to ensure that by the rest to continue the small fish have a place to feed on before they got into the ocean. and to just help the local plan is to plant 1000000 seedlings paid for by the extreme 18. recent decades have been immense damage to the habit of the birds. insects and fish, while fishermen's hold continued to fall. when we saw had the majority of the mangrove in, senegal disappeared in the wake of the great drives of 19691970. i entered and now we want to use the plans to help nature to recover. and so that it can secure the livelihoods efficiency. it is only for me to see lucas somebody fisher. meanwhile its life as usual in the nearby town of yaga few have taken notice of the pro conservation of road race and would in any case prefer it as he financial support. he was in it because i just think we were basically around the corner from lack

cause but i don't think the organizers have provided any money here for school or health care facilities. my, my, my boss, the us, the normally the 1st thing i think of the local infrastructure. but as far as i know that's not happening. the n as a, as in the priority for the event organizes 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 in desert regions, cost areas, and the arctic circle. the project, the partners, hope the race and planting scheme here will have a long lasting positive impact. next, it's off to all been in this country in south eastern europe suffered 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 mon beanie, a farmers to migrate to italy in search of better circumstances. now, a local initiative is hoping to all fund 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 northeastern albania are so beautiful. he works for p. p n e 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 korea, nick must thief at its foot via care. she has a market garden. he grows fruit. his operation could inspire others to follow suit, especially young people. he cultivated berries. traditionally, people gathered wild ones in the mountain red one. and if there are,

let's see plantation soon, 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 up some money, came home and began farming. so she's well being in service in. i'm a senior. he started with eroni barry 5 years ago before branching out his venture is proving to be a success. in july, his product was certified as organic by an agency in germany. and that's something he's very proud of the book and we're going to go to the bottom of the film for particular so i don't use fertilizer. everything is just the same as up in the mountains, the bacteria and the soil, the humans. they make the plant strong, doesn't care. she 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 the red love apples, for example, those very recent kelty bar with red flesh resistant to disease. toby, camille, me, it has to be a and go to berries from china. base right here to look actually also sells cuttings to those who want to emulate him. mostly on 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 car up, correct. nic nature park is a lovely place to hike, but visitors a few and far between. because of the pandemic, loved ones and travel restrictions. the

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. but i don't know my lego saw 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't go and live in a big city well, you make i lou still it's tough tending sheep or growing crops here. and while we're waiting 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 us family, seemed to be content with their lives. they recently built

a new house next to the road. one things have been improving from one generation to the next was on lama heads off to visit another family. he receives a warm welcome to promote the eldest son was in sweden, but he stuck at home because of the pandemic. you already thought it was your 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 give help. yes, there's no on the go or the home. yeah. the difficult, the tradition is all well and good. what should we do if we can't sell what we make? just good guessing on the nearest areas. 50 kilometers away. there are no government guarantees. we get no government support scar. this guy called so it's

hard to maintain. traditions is not working on of it. but if you're doing push of steel, it's often easier to make money abroad vantage continue farming. here. the area might be beautiful, but without jobs or prospects, young people will continue to go away. far away. on this 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 settle in nicely and some farms in south africa? yes. a be have creased on not only is aren't, they proved to be surprisingly helpful. they perform a lot of useful talk in the us and garden on the also generously provide their own as something like because areas to keep them warm. when the temperature drop and a here be of friendly to these happy grades is learning to part of the

original mental these properties. but today it's hard to imagine the taste without them the eating and pooping both biodiversity and promote soil health. hello george. hello freddy, hello l t. when paula discovery bought this old pair from the quality of the soil was a poor. so she decided to acquire some animals to help reduce the need to the basically the packer, along with the the hens along with the rabbits that we now also have. they are helping us heal soil because after all of those years of performing or soil was really dead, that 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'll pack a droppings, also known as a puckered bins. i reach in nitrogen and potassium,

and ideals at eliza for the vegetable patch. then we've got all herbs, you'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. this be said she was inspired to practice permaculture, regenerative agriculture. during south africa's foss lockdown in 2020, her interest grew up watching documentaries and climate change and, and family performing requires huge amounts of herbicides and pesticides. and we didn't want to spray them. 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 pairs using the path as a trellis. and it grew from now i'll pack the also part of the landscape at this phone in tone of weddington. gavin,

glean horse was the flex report suspicious fitness from its native south america just over 2 decades ago. that lindsay will only a few dozen packers in the country to day. the number has been to almost 1500. when the government has long been seems to be a vouchers. what they, who in mittens and that can be picked up and they made into an organic compost. 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, the eyesight and the hearing is very good. and so a lot of farmers and these and cape, using, you know, practice to that when it comes to going to farming davis. if occasion is key full at the very has made a deal with the local restaurant. she delivers fresh produce and also collects the clinic with the wall restaurants on and didn't drug in boxes. it's

a win win situation books. so we're 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 use it from manage them. we can blue beaudry prepares the ways to forms and turn into compost. it more excel. if i want a break, it's but sometimes is not necessary because i give you the exam also for the guide in look at the way the, you just one end, look, you're very, it be the breeding. the end result is a natural fertilizer known as one t bud receives the model can be repeated anywhere to grow organic food and there seems to be a market for it. 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 piece to grease, i'll talk as are also used for the award. it's still a small scale industry here in south africa, but as the popularity of the animals increases, the month for the high quality, soft and silky piece is likely to for food. that's all for this edition of echo africa. we hope you found today's stories is pirate. if you're doing something to protect the environment, let us know for now. it's goodbye for me. chris lives in lagos, nigeria. see you next week. thunder lincoln case, and it's all of you of us out there and do not forget you can always get in touch
