perch have been on a vegetarian diet for the past month. the new feat contains no fish meal or fish oil, but wheat, corn, and soybeans. the primary concern for the company, eco friendly fish is what comes out the other end as it were. as i copernicus, esmond coffer was the doctor in october, tonic stands for arkell culture and the panic for hydroponic with which refers to plants grown without any soil, both fun. so combining the 2 involves having fish feeding them and using their excrement as fertilizer for plants. y'all's fido as a to listen to men as it's a circular system. the water flows from fish to plants, off and back again. the fossa from 6 to franzoni desolate. the urban farm produces 5 tons of fish and half a 1000000 pots of basil the year. bacteria break down the ammonium and fish peep
5:39 am
into nitrates, which then serve as fertilizing the plans and turn, convert the carbon dioxide exhaled by animals into oxygen. the farm gets its power from the local green electricity provide at $220.00 leases of water sufficient to produce one killer fish and one and a half killers of vegetables. according to the world wildlife fund bombing, the 2 separately requires up to 1000 liters of water as the others. we were growing all kinds of things here, egg plants, bell peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers, and herbs. and let us as well, of course, and it was after meeting a grocery retailer that the idea came on. why not to sell our products at their stores in berlin and been an american every thursday, the purveyors of berlin hoped that bash or capital purge add up their online orders
5:40 am
and then harvest the fish according to demand i will follow up with them. it's not as if i have some personal attachment to each individual fish it's nice when they look good and are healthy and have a decent size. and of that is good to shut this can log on to the cities much velma or food assembly website. after choosing a product and local produce it, they can also choose way to pick up their order. the set up helps reduce road travel and emissions. for a lot of small scale vomas' from the been in region, it's the so option for getting their goods directly to customers. today's was on a divorce is hosting a pop up food assembly store. the once a week operation ends her an 8.3 percent take of turnover. the food assembly nicholas marche,

5:42 am
selling their equip onyx expertise to other farms elsewhere in europe. and perhaps the idea will become a personal business around the world. it is amazing what is possible in the middle of a major city. but for now let us get back to africa. more than 50 percent of people here are involved in agriculture. most of them do not home giant foods to walk with . they plant their crops in the guidance around their homes. thus right sondra, you just need to do how to do it right. then you can find room, even in the smallest lot on initiative in gone, our teachers, people all to cultivate dear own tomatoes, o'neills and pepper. and it's important information because climate change is force in many people to leave agriculture. a crowd of women is gathering to get some gardening tips,

5:52 am
young animals aren't as healthy as they could be. a special government artificial insemination program is now ensuring that the seaman is taken from robust males and that sounds don't pick up diseases from bulls during breeding for recent dice. anger says it also provides jobs for the local communities to feed our population. oh please. these did require a deposit of meat drive, a center that a ph inducted and quote, this bulletproof industry, ah, we'd be, we'd be the santo's soul. we've. although the innovation laughing that while families are using the that he quit, the declared, the commodity, they did quit believe it to head, to, to boost, to increase the production of meat. rwanda teamed up with an american company a few months ago to launch the initiative. the drones can fly up to 2 hours at
5:53 am
a time and carry loads of up to $1.00 kilos. they navigate with the help of gps satellite data, so they're both fast and accurate. the swine semen orders are prepared for delivery right at the flight center. the temperature of the seamen is maintained within plus or minus 2 degrees celsius for the duration of the flight. during the programs pilot phase, the government is covering the transportation costs. they have the number oh for the center of the can you sense the dental now? ya. ya before mean from us. the have the i will pull what's up. they know when they can, they can call up the number to case on, on the center. we live either across the country. we did, eva. we did a vol. the quantity declared. they're already waiting at the health center
5:54 am
and ru bona, exactly on time, the drone drops, the package at its destination. time is now of the essence. the seaman is prepared and the sal artificially inseminated from its start in the capital kigali to insemination. the entire process took just one hour pig breeder, christie ma hearing is taking part in the program for the 1st time. man, when i say move with this, the reason i chose to use drone delivered seaman is that i can be sure that it's good quality, and that i can choose the breed. i want group xen, sango, and the con, the credenza trinity is also and being happens. i don't have to move my animals, which is time consuming burning and expensive. then we go. anastasio. wilma barracka has been taking part in the program from the start for 300 south have
5:55 am
already born more than 60 pig that meant and i can of i ok. now that we've seen that this method is successful, i'll get rid of the mail pegs, the boys did my it costs me a lot of money to take care of them and feed themselves. now i'll be able to eliminate those coffee ball st, please. a me of this artificial insemination program as the successful initiatives him in as that he says that it say never pulls but must a net. a pulse. rwanda sees the drone program has a long term investment in addition to pig semen, the drones also transport urgently needed medications and vaccines across the country in and out. kinda like well, that's really ease amazingly efficient. that is all for this week's edition of africa. we've a special focus and food security. it is time for me to be fair wilson compiler. here in uganda. i and sandra tween odeo and i'll be seeing is very soon next week. thank you, sandra, and thanks for watching to our viewers. drop off the line and tell us what you
