a lot of satisfaction, blunt for la road and group newsroom alcala, is leon promoting a telecom on the vision edge of them? but there is a community garden called dream group. the members of the initiative like it in their harvest, when it's freshness warranty, as me twice a week to work in the garden. anybody can join him as often as divorce. the fruits and vegetables are free. dipped he jungian joined when the group was launched in 2018. most important things that we do is site building out of this material. we growing a whole lot of vegetables, fluids, and flowers. to attract bees. we have all the amazing of fruits and vegetables that be grill and of course, most important of oil. we bid in the community of a whole variety of beautiful human beings. and we have a really lovely them together, neighborhood warranty or finance the seeds and everything else needed for their

food falls. more than a 100 people have already got involved. some have brought the idea of community gardening to other areas of the city. we need more green spaces, we need to save us soil. we need spaces where people can come in and forest bade right in the middle of a ben jungles like mom life. and that is way, it is crucial for us as well as other people to adopt activities initiated like this, where we can one square foot at a time. green every single. but all file city that's available back in the heart of man by the garden, my tongue has become a trailblazer. the cities traffic authority has recognized the value of such green oases. whatever. what i didn't get married available, we can find a space. we are creating gardens, they are known by citizens, can walk under

a meet and relax and as part of the city's new concept awful, i've been kinda busy with the pillar gollindo. look around 4 kilometers from none and i'll meter god. the next god in the west is this coming to life? it said to open in a few weeks. my will then have 16 green flowers. in the past 3 decades, the city has lost 40 percent of its greenery. the green spaces under the flowers can't make up of these losses, but the city has, at least now recognized just how widely our public fox and fathers make up much of berlin's green spears. but it's the allotment garbled with complete with the small summer house that had given the city . if you me green charm for more than a 100 years, yet they're under threat. for how important are the hurley? let's figure look in spring has arrived. the shoots family is preparing their

garden for the summer. it brings them joy. and it also has other benefits of the everything. you know, i think these plants are very important for nature and the climate god. every one can contribute and they offer people the chance to plant greenery or oh yeah, i will. my rulers, i'm from the show. it's family has been leasing this garden for 3 years now. every year they plant new vegetables, but it's not just about hard work. summer or ours is a little such an oasis, an island where you can just spend time and relax in nature and on search button. it's really great to a hot dance. this oasis is part of the allotment colony. i'm stuck. park ions in western berlin. not long ago, plans to extend to schools threatened 19 of the 120 plots. marianna, once hymer has had a garden here for almost 30 years,

had children and now grand children have grown up using the green space. these a gap in these gardens are a bonus to city light, but doyle, there are a local recreation area, i know, and they give berliners light or fresh air opportunities for exercise and didn't begin on the chance to experience nature. lucas, and to socialize all. well, that's up in the mind. tough runs hymer shoots and other plots holders successfully campaigned against the school expansion plan. berlin has over 70000 allotment gardens more than any other european city. together they make up almost $3000.00 tech t as some are on city land. others frank track, some property not used by its owner. rail provided deutscher, bon get shopper is head of

a berlin allotment association up to them for you. he represents holders across the city allotment gardens are extremely sought after and yet plots are increasingly at risk possible to lose the city needs tracks for new subways for new trams. otherwise, it may also need additional tracks where the suburban rail net world shit needs facilities for schools and kimber gardens for silas at berlin needs more housing. and all of these requirements are putting of squeezen available space. we been feeling pressure for many years and believe it will only mount in the coming years . allotment gardens 1st appeared in berlin in the late 18 hundreds. as the population exploded. people from rural areas flocked into the city and needed to grow vegetables for their own food. the gardens were lifeline for berlin. as during

both world wars, during the cold war gardens sprang up along the berlin wall in the east, where hobby gardeners contributed to food supplies, to day allotments, simone, for relaxation and connecting with nature. there were regulations on the size of them and how they used. they're also important for the environment in the city and beyond. scientist fits voice, vague specializes in urban greenery. he frequently visits berlin to keep tabs on the cities ecological balance. urban greenery is providing a lot of social and the political services to cities and citizens. for example, they cool cities, they provide water because they are not sealed. i, they provide by a diversity services. they are home for many insects for example, i'm a barrels and they will become more important in the future. did you find the change? temperatures are rising and by land, while the amount of annual rainfall has dropped allotments,

provide urban greenery and can help address climate change challenges. but just because a garden is green doesn't mean it's a cure all. if you have a lot more gardening, where you have only long and there has no, they're not many plans, and you use a lot of pesticide for example. then the value of this green is very, very low. so what you need is more while the gardens of more diversity gardening in berlin has developed beyond traditional allotments in the center of the city on the land of the disused temple roof air field is the community garden and men there contour, founded in 2011 the project promote sustainable organic gardening. these children a here to water, the potatoes, but there are more than 250 raised beds with more than 500 gardeners. circular goldsmith volunteers were self organized and meet regularly to tend to

different parts of the garden. like this area dedicated to the community's bees as well. and coca has been part of the collective for around 5 years. he leads the group dedicated to taking care of the b colony at amanda control. yes, we will be the better for me and for a lot of people who are part of the group a they realize how important is to know how difficult is to work with earth. and to be a we're the coronation of nature and human. and for me, well, the form is quite of the pillar of the project here to be aware how we are connected to the nature backet colony, amsterdam park. i'm the should says have finished their work for the day. it's time to enjoy some lunch. it's not clear their oasis will forever survive the pressures of urban development. but for now it's

a bonus for the family and the environment. as we just saw, open greenery is not just about providing space for relax ation. it can mean much more. for example, it can be used from going food in the southern city of c one and to put them this idea is helping solve a multitude of problems it's blunting season. the general model is placing green, chilly seedlings in the soil. the plastic wrap logs in moisture, his walk as a firm help for 6 years. he comes from the predominantly rural state of a fam in northern india. but it's here in the southern city of juvenile for them and get that to learn how to fund bill it is. i make sure i knew nothing about farming me. i just used to help me. but after coming here i have learned a lot about it. and i know all about helpful technology as well,

and now we're ever going me. i don't have to feel good enough as you know when need to tell me what to do and i know it all my cell phone vizier dos works for groom agro ventures, a small company on the outskirts of to run on the bottom. it provides farming and technical expertise to help people set farms on unused, obey land. launched in 2016. a company combines modern techniques, the traditional farming practices. it grows vegetables adapted to the soil and uses only natural best sights. found a jostling combines of engineering background with a passion for farming to get more people in albany areas to grow their own food. during the found to make the exposure to local produce was far greater than before, simply because of the fact that your resources will limited. so that has changed the pallet tremendously. and that single aspect of what i believe will be the

future driver of this business kayla. has long sought agriculture due from neighboring state, but a 2015 study exposed high levels of chemicals and imported vegetables. the state began promoting local food cultivation. government data shows that just 2 years later, each of their last food industry boasted some $20000.00 rooftop farmers. urban agriculture is billed as a sustainable solution to help feed people in india's fast growing cities. but outside of get along, scaling up could be a challenge, especially in major cities like delhi being a little enter night where groundwater levels are dangerously low. experts, a banking on new technology unlike the earlier conventional method of getting plans using afford, or maybe

a holes. now we have micro irrigation methods, like micro sprinklers, other than that, but that addition is the government is supporting those programs also. and there are a number of go private companies also bring your good models that can be fitted into this. so that want to shortlist for our problem can be forwarded to a great extent. open farms also serve as a green buffer against carbon emissions, and helps filter evolution. but a lot of people living in cities, i can't afford to grow their own food. and these are the grounds of a non profit organization in piddle, and the program that supports the young people with autism from low income families . gruen agro ventures help to convert one acre of the added land into a vegetable farmer. and then let program participants learn valuable skills and can take their harvest's. whole experience has shown that farming has therapy, antic benefits, and they are actually

a careering skinny. they play. can all i team building skill set and the way they are, you know, working together why you be holl west. so understanding the concept am acquiring certain skill set and all communication and other areas i'll farming is really helpful. it just salim services are booked mostly by middle and upper middle class families and kayla. but he now wants to encourage city workers to cultivate vegetables during and outside of offices. his companies, one from farm initiative, seeks to create a pool walking space that provides a calm, rural walk environment while providing members the opportunity to engage informing activities. we would like to have people come over here as a regular way of life, understand as to how farming is and create that farm connect and bond so that they

are able to nurture in their minds. you know, a dream of a future from, with more people turning to organic urban farming. grown agro ventures passed up into a growing market and catalog. and it's also nurturing the dream of farm work of video does. who one day hopes to set up his own farm back in his home state of a sam big cities lead big ideas, especially to fight against climate change. the international horticultural exhibit and flurry other in the netherlands is exhibiting concepts from all over the world on how to re nature back desert landscape. these are some ideas for greener future on display to florida, a world expo for horticulture in the netherlands in the future. more and more people are going to live in cities. so our, ah, yeah, our idea is to show people, how can we create a shape the cities of the future?

how can we make them greener? how can we make them more sustainable? and what can each and every one of us do exactly to i to make this happen over 40 countries, are taking part in the florida at the german pavilion, bio tapia, visitors learn about environmental impact and change by interacting with the exhibits as well as with each other growing green cities is the we're all theme at this year's florida. the key message is we are a growing community. so we have to work together in unison to create a more green and sustainable future. it's really each and everybody's contribution and only as a whole. we can make the future and the cities more green. another highlight is this house. it demonstrates alternative building practices by using mostly natural

materials in the construction over $100.00 natural materials were used in the construction, including cork, recycled wood, burlap by a waste, seaweed and fungi. so this is a rumor completely made out of bacteria and fungi. mom, it's actually made out of my celia and my celia are the roots of the much room was form a strong network, which you can use to insulate your house wits. the floria takes place every 10 years. this is the 7th edition located in almera, about 30 kilometers from amsterdam. it will remain open until october. it's not only cities with solutions on needed to bring back green space. india has suffered a loss of natural forest area. large need you to agricultural expansion. an activist in the north of the country is trying to reverse some of the damage. 13 advertise.

ah, each were sing, johann shows how it's done for about 15 years. the teacher has been planting trees here on the motto plateau in central india. it lays at an altitude offered on 500 meters. he initially started out alone, blunting the small seedlings. but now he has the support of numerous wall interiors from the local area. in addition to so trees such as glowed mangle when bananas the also plant people deep and mean treat a bio, do us a degree aided by each one and his team, which previously didn't exist on this rocky terrain to water, the young trees, we have to walk several 100 meters back and forth with container. yeah, i mean i can do 5 to 7000 entries here for the i like my children if, if a plan dries up but it hurts my heart. but if we want a duty and to model it comes,

magdalene again, that gives me immense pleasure. elsewhere, forest has been cleared to make way for farmland mining operations or growing cities. the rate of deforestation is unclear as india accounts areas, even with the limited tree color as partis, situation gets a bit complex because how india defines the policy cover we actually earned of for this of europe in there defines any area of one heck dental plan with dent busing, cover as wallace, although i some of the interventions that i'm one of those as well as go are actually trico. ah, since the most recent, i think the art have lost one part of its modesty area. from 2015 to 2020 alone around $10000000.00 hectares afforded disappeared each year. either though, the earth was getting warmer, whipped out via fires, and lance lights on the rise around the world. more

and more reforestation projects underway. these include both large scale campaigns and smaller initiatives, lakewood each were and his team give you digest a long for build on is efforts to restore our forests are still far too small in scope, but their big ideas of what the politicians are promising is and normally offered when there are you and back programs with hundreds of millions of factors ought to be replanted with foreigners there are many local initiatives to vote, but what's being done right now is not enough overall to compensate for the readers . deforestation in sca sundays. just not just you know, counties in drugs compet via india is one of the was major biodiversity hotspot. so export c reforestation efforts need to be planned with care taken as to what trees are planted red. so as not to upset the balance of nita the open

naturally systems the grass is need to be protected. you know, the, again, the biodiversity benefits and be dependent on the master list, etc. why depend on that? so every base doesn't need to have some data open. actually, ecosystems, white tape are very important. so before the station, it's about restoration and identifying what interventions, where basically ah, but each one feels he's on the right path. with his walk as a teacher, he finances the seedlings that he and his team plan to regularly. nothing would please a more than to see later generations follow his example. resolving trees on the malware plateau. ringing back nature in cities and beyond. it might seem like a mammoth off, but with every small solution, a step is taken in the right direction towards the green future. i'll leave you with a hot and see you again next week. good bye. and thanks for watching. mm
