w i, we've got some hot tips for your bucket. let me know mantic corner check spot for for me and some great help. the more is to boot w travel off we go. oh god the 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 i dearest charles television, i am chris, the lamps, coming to you from lee goes. today, will be chris crossing the african continent and also check it out on the call. the vision project, a gemini, that is true,

crease and one of the projects is generating a lot of buzz. you will see what i mean in a b. i am sandra. 3 of you with a one will come from compiler, hit in uganda. this is take a look at what we've got install for you today. what can we do with our because it doesn't produce enough food in there will be kenya. people coming up with solutions and stuff. we can, 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 loss leads to in balance. how with a minor italy theme, extreme weather events in the countryside, for example, can lead to food shortages in cities. and with more people moving to abilene centers. the push to provide food for the growing population is increasing. know

and africa white initiatives in to get things going in the cities themselves. here is an example from nairobi. the acreage is a forest of vegetables driving in a small yard. vertical farming makes it possible. so this improved food security. in urban kenya, levine, sal cage grows, producing vertical plants and socks. when a small farming gets in gala on the outskirts of night would be she cultivate spinach and kill for both household consumption and for sale. it's what was so interesting about it is how, like you can find one suck can hold up to $150.00 plan. so that one was a bitter calling economy quote for me. and it's something that if you late don't, it's going to cover like a big face. but here you see it has just taken a more space,

but maybe she uses less. what then spends less time and money on reading. she was introduced to the new method by mary mites 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 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 because mostly people are moving to an area. and they cannot be able to access a healthy vegetative was mighta was drained by the african associations or vertical farming. the non profits initiative helps to promote climate friendly agricultural

practices. yes, sufficient tenure coordinates. obviously i saying, ron streaming courses for young people and some of the techniques that work with guidance hydroponics upon x and 8 appointments. so mr. lee, we see the youth of the future of africa and also the women to convey the big portion of claimant food 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, this will station a street more than 1500 women and young people around can. the cost is cover everything from crop management and watering, the pest control and the use of bio for allies. this 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 hill to help cut down the use

of feeling during transportation. if i can grade myself, 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 full market, being a hefty electricity bill in terms of power and, and refrigerator and services. food security is a major problem in kenya. produce losses often reach up to 50 percent. you to pose habits for each problem. an initiative called the g youth group came up with a way to help and then grow as get more value for the product and cut down with age . they also pay $3.00 times more per bunch than brokers. the freshman anessa, dr. crushed and processed into a fortified flower, a part of the fetches good prizes, which also means more money for the farmers. using the mortar,

we have 4 bananas. this can also be used in defense food types of food. so this can include their food security. on there for the storage, so the issue of hunger will be emitted there is your food waste be aggregated. the issue from us going to a loss will be eliminated. g stand now wants to increase its drying and storage area. so come on this more bananas. it also wants to stop milling in bulk and expand sales nationwide. the fly can be use all stored for several months for loving, so cage, vertical font is doing so well, you're already thinking about adding more vegetable varieties. one of the many advantages of vertical phones is of the iron dependent on not sure pulling it is bonded 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 colony collapse is

a serious problem around the world. and environmentally friendly solution is really needed on this. we're doing a bit, it's definitely in the right direction. it's the same distressing fight. year after year, when barrow might infiltrate to be colony, the result is devastating. in response, many beekeepers treat the hives with 4 make asset. it kills of the parasites, but it also causes some be used to tear out but own and 10 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. i colonies do very well in tree hollows on the moon,

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 recycled plastic, lined with hemphill and clay, the honeycomb fit from 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 move the bees into their new 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. aim 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 with that. hong kong, now they want to set up a crowd funding campaign to enable them to go into mass production. until now they've been making the hives on a 3 d printer. and philip pod has

a kitchen. and how about you? if you are also doing your bit, tell us about it, visit our website, or send us a tweak with hash tag doing your bit. we share your stores here on eco africa, we've talked about how electric mobility can be better for the environment. bonds, here's something new. an entire motorsports see, we've featuring electric vehicles, raising awareness about climate change and consequences. it's called extreme e n. his hosts races in the most extreme places on earth. in the desert, the ocean even on and toxic, was eyes. so what 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 growth 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 lake high salt content. this is one of the locations chosen for a rather unique, moderate, and event, the extreme se 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 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 are fitted with 550 horse power mortar is 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 residence. the idea was to build the sustainability project, so the communities was 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 the steering wheel after the race, the event organizers take a trip down the river, but not for pleasure. the project also includes a mangrove planting campaign. have teamed up with seneca leave n g o n young and local fishermen to create what will be a huge man, go forth stretching from la crows to the sea. i am planting 9, grows to ensure that both of us to continue and the small fish have

a place to sit on before they go out integration. and to just help the local. the plan is to plant 1000000 seedlings paid for by the extreme 18 recent decades of immense damage to the habit of birds. insects and fish, while fishermen hold continue to fall. whenever we saw had the majority of the mangrove 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 nothing. so that it can secure the livelihoods of fish, and it is only for me to be lucas on the fish it. meanwhile, its life as usual in the nearby town of new jaga. few have taken notice of the pro conservation of road race and would in any case before it is he financial support you guys on it? because i just think you 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 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 n, as in the priority for the event organizers among them for mom, water raising champion, nicole ross bag is raising global awareness the races i held at places where the effects of climate change are especially harsh and debit regions close to areas and the arctic circle. project partners hope the race and planting scheme here will have a long lasting positive impact. next, it's off to all been yeah, this country in south eastern europe suffers from a number of environmental problems. contaminated and own treated, which torture are 2 of the more challenging the poor conditions of even prompted. so, mo, be farmers to migrate to italy and 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. mostly 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 promote 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 correct make my safe. at its foot 0 case, she has a market garden, he grows fruit. his operation could inspire 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. he saved up some money, came home and began farming. so come up the answer machine. i'm assuming he started with eroni barry's 5 years ago. before branching out adventure 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 dirt, and we're going to get him to go to the bottom of the film, particularly 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 as other than 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 the red love apples. for example, those very recent county bar with red flesh resistant to disease. toby

come merely on me and go g varies from china, base right here to bring it actually also sells cuttings to those who want to emulate him 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 patches. 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 lockdown 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 and 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 the decreasing every year. and the, the, let's see, the frogs have taken over the bus or a lens. the foster area, the main problem that they are losing significant part of the bus. it's a vicious circle. amory family spends the summer months up in the mountains. they spend the winter down in the village. emery'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. the but i don't know my lego saw it. of course i would like to have a big car look, see what 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're lou. still it's tough tending shape 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, the main thing i'm re feed us family seemed to be content with our lives. they recently built a new house next to the road. one things have been improving from one generation to the next was the 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 a 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 the give help years. there's no on the go of the home year. the difficult, the tradition is all well and good. what should we do if we can't sell what we make? just guessing on the nearest areas, 50 kilometers away for there are no government guarantees. we get no government support scar, this guy called so it's hard to maintain. tradition is not working 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 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 set to in nicely in 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 and also generously provide the owners something like this areas to keep them warm when the temperature drop. and i hear the of friendly to the these have degrees is willing to part of the original plan for these properties. but today it's hard to imagine the police without them be

eating and pooping both biodiversity and promotes lloyd hills. hello, george. hello freddy, hello l t. when paula, despair, he bought this old peer from the quality of the soil was a poor. so she decided to apply some animals to help you beneath 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 those years of performing also i was really dead. that was very little insect life. very little animal life, very little other plans 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 l packer bins i reach in nitrogen and potassium an ideal for eliza for the vegetable patch. then we've got our 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. despite he said, she was inspired to practice permaculture, regenerative agriculture, doing south africa 1st looked on in 2020, her interest grew up, watching documentaries and climate change. and going from 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 pairs a trellis. and it grew from now, i'll pack the also part of the landscape at this encounter. weddington gavin, glean horse was the flexor in port suspicious. just those last weakness from its native south america. just over to dick and that linda will only

a few dozen packers in the country today. the number has gone to almost 1500 breeder, has long been convinced of the vouchers which 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 from cape using you know, packets to that when it comes to going to farming davis. if occasion is key for the city has made a deal with the 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. so we're happy to do that. that's a good thing. so just the safe, all of a search that we would throw away for them on the phone. they can still use it from

manage. um we can blue beaudry prepares the width forms to and turn into compost more excel if i want a break. but sometimes it's not necessary because i give you those gym also for the god 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 their health and the nutritional wellbeing. and i think now is the time we have a window of opportunity with small businesses like this,

of becoming more sorts after. and i see that because i started with new customers and now i have nearly 100. well, there might be a little list, happy to be shown, then when the left in piece to grease l packers are also used for the award. it's still a small skill 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 eco africa. we hope you found today's stories is pirate. if you're doing something to protect the environment, let us know for now. goodbye for me for the lamps in lagos, nigeria. see you next week, sandra. lincoln grace and it's all of you of us out there. do not forget you can always get in touch with those social media platforms. i am under 3 nobody signing from compiler here in uganda, phase soon and take care. mm.
