diabetes. ready cancer and cardiovascular disease world wide, one in 5 deaths is associated with poor diet. ready it's an acute problem in many parts of the southern hemisphere, plenty of fruit and vegetables, a grown bear, but the bulk of production is exported. to day we consider the case of blueberries in peru. ah, for a long time, rayna espinosa was unemployed. but these days, her family often has to manage without her. she leaves for work at 6 o'clock every morning. none of the a little to plug in, get it all. the blueberry fields are the best place to work that on them and not. and then the see glass in mind. they need workers every week is, and it's not so strenuous and saw the e. m. they pay well to where you know, how to get know that when the quality on the rain espinosa ends the equivalent of

360 euros a month. she says that's a pretty good incoming pero ah. the blue berries are cultivated on the hillside slopes of the desert. they're not native to peru, but europe has an insatiable appetite for blueberries, and peru has become its main supply. this plantation is 2 years old. the fruit has picked from some 3000000 blue very bushes by 1500 seasonal workers. they grown in plastic sacks containing humus. they wouldn't grow in the desert sand . in some plantations, the soil is treated with sulphur to reduce the p h value. blueberries grow best in acidic soil and supervisor raina espinosa is responsible for quality control in montana. the if audi don't. this is lynette gen until 2 years ago. all this was

only desert and sand like and today we harvest tons and tons of blueberries. here it's amazing as the antibiotic deliveries are considered as superfund. packed with antioxidants and pittmans, they contain little sugar, have no seeds and supposedly protect against cancer. peruse production has grown dramatically. it's now the world's biggest blueberry exposure. the climate guarantees good harvests, but the fruit is sprayed to guard against funky and insects. the plantation manager insists pesticides or used sparingly, fear muscle. so we've done everything we can organic, like young, and there are still in section diseases for, for then we have them unit pesticides and kathy ones that were approved here in peru and in the countries switchboard to eureka and by her another problem is water. for now, there's enough meltwater from the ice caps in the mountains to irrigate the plantations. but the blue very fields are said to expand 3 fold in the next few

years. and what then, dans have been built on the edge of the desert with the water diverted through tunnels. it flows towards the fields on the pacific side of the andes and away from the amazon basin. at up boils over here at amir, in order for our exports to remain internationally competitive, peru needs to create more farmland and grow more produce, received and for that route we need new irrigation infrastructure projects. and what's the zip on the left in those areas here? now, the whole operation is geared towards maximum growth, unlike smaller european bill berries, which are rarely cultivated and have less commercial potential, peruvian blueberries, or forcefully brained new varieties promise, even bigger harvests. this one is called mateus. it grows abundantly as fern, tasty fruit and is about to take german supermarket spice global kendall. their quarterly early were reacting to demand in europe kicked on min b. yes,

the consumers their want better quality blueberries and loss had methics. he kinda big firm blueberries that can survive long transport routes monday and can be kept in the refrigerator for a while. you're free to miss enough road to get where one thought of matthew and they need to be a shiny blue color is will now body that guy been in bloom when he told us he does he, our lab rowena, to meet europe's exacting standards. the fruit is often treated with fung aside before it's shipped. it's kept in cold storage for 3 weeks as it travels the 10000 kilometers to germany. the carbon footprint of the shipping root is considerable, even if it's less than it would be by plane. new plantations are springing up in peru. one will be in the community where juan carlos lopez is mayor. he's worried about irrigation, but he hopes it will create some 3000 new jobs in the said, wait, we can't believe that the berries will soon be growing here. it will be

a dream come true for our impoverished community. the common common. yeah. because the 50 peruvian blueberries fly off the supermarket shelves in europe, and also people here the chance of a more comfortable life but more peruse, economy enjoys the boost. the environment bears the burden. the catastrophic consequences of importing can be seen across africa. heavily subsidized badge from europe has largely replaced regional produce at the expense of local farmers. agriculture in ghana, for example, is a struggling sector activist alberta. acosta encourages women to plant their own back yard gardens. it's economical and their families get to eat freshly grown food . a crowd of women is gathering to get some gardening tips. oh,

grown fresh produce isn't hard and the benefits are enormous. i'm without coming out here in northern gonna out back to our cause. her and her team are showing local women how best you create a backyard vegetable garden. the small organizations started out as a social media project to go back and soon gathered momentum, attracting a growing number of female followers. we had seats as our phase. we had some small guiding through, so we sort of advocating ah, putting on social media. that's if you want to, a backyard garden does contacts us. and it's was, unless i know whether you, though it could be those cobra algorithm required. within a week, 700 volunteers signed up for the one household. one garden program with many of them were women who had gotten out of the habit of gardening,

or whose husbands didn't want them working in the garden and stuff. but during the pandemic food precious rose dramatically, many people decided to go back to growing their own vegetables. it has an impact on the entire community. and it's how we support women who alive as they somewhat application we over the years supported. ah, women from is women forces are women. markets is how we do swells when to farming out fragments we men and a single mother. and we realized that it's extended beyond dea, our families with our communities, changing our livelihood and being on his be wishing. and 7 us men says even within the our communities. once they complete training, the women are awarded seeds and a pair of rubber boots, shut it off, they'll be going home to plant tomatoes, onion and peppers to see if their vegetable patches flourish they'll even have

enough produce to sell them. now fighting yeah, i didn't. those what i've learned here will benefit me a lot because some guy can make some money with what we've been trained to do that, even though it's in a school, it will also help mothers feed their children after every harvest. why this could be very good business for me, got business only in recent years, food prices have doubled, even at the local market. the corona virus crisis has caused ongoing supply chain problems. alberta casa, is keen to make agriculture a more stable sector. she believes that a lot more locally grown produce could be sold at local markets. ganna is a fertile country. that's rich in resources. this group has things when about about the i'm of the, i'm not even seen any one from guy. my all is on for the why. so like you are looking at transportation costs here and all that's going to wait. i now 41 a better cause a heads the organization. she originally wanted to be

a journalist. now she's an activist travelling across the country with her team. in the last 5 years, they've trained up to some 26000 women. they sell moines, see how console fancy. when i started my career, i ended up having a path which i made me more fulfilled and that's as shoveling a cold day. ah, there conchee. awe di, login. i dined name with women, farmers is mortal. the farm is and see what i can do in my or small we to support agriculture in ghana is a struggling sector. a growing number of farmers are giving up. the driving principle behind agra. house foundation is that cultivating vegetables should be profitable. the project also promotes healthy eating. it has the support of local

governments. and although it also really quite listeners of people's awareness and seeking to make the environment clean up, i haven't loose air gutters. so it is of course have that year for me. he said a holistic in terms of getting the right nutrition, getting the environment clean and more in pipe for time loss would generate in people's interests in their practice, in agriculture at that level. alberta casa follows up on her training courses, visiting participants years later, to see how they're getting isley ideas that they plan gardens that have sustainable if they have to last longer than just one season. the experts give chips on how to get the most out of a small space. it is how we start all extend my garden to be able to feed some of my neighbors around. not really my family, because if i have more people around me can also benefit from it. so that's what i'm hoping for. sometimes, alberto calls it inspires participants to start their own business. many of the

women who joined the course have been unable to find work. i sat there 2020 great 3 rates i killed abs loud. 60 within a year. the future is very bright for, for me and i'm feel myself is i feel yes to come with more k, jess, more breeding stock, providing for restaurants, hotels, and individuals. the women learn new skills and hopefully start to earn an income too. oh, but not everyone approves bizarre. deborah casa and her team make a point of talking to participants, husbands and the village leaders have to convince them that it's in everyone's interest. everything that we do want to we are very positive about this, our group,

and we know that there would, ah, no implemented. i don't a day, we want to see them more empowered. we want to them to be proud of themselves as women seen, women learn to take pride in their achievements is what drives at kosa. today's, she's just shown over 100 women. how to be more self sufficient, hopefully besides their gardens, their self confidence will blossom and flourish to that's all from outside global $3000.00 this week. thanks for joining us. and don't forget to send us your comments. global free 1000 ad d, w dot com. and you can visit us on facebook, d w global ideas. see you next time. take care. ah ah
