12:31 pm
need to manage our food responsibly and cos of precious resources will work on to especially addition on food and the environment. i am sandra to be nobody from compiler here in uganda. thank you, sandra and hello from re to crystal loans in oakland state law. jerry, up in africa more than 250000000 people don't have enough to eat. but the continent could potentially fit itself. will feature initiatives from africa and europe that address in the problem of food waste. for example, o, an app in ghana brings bombers and consumers together. i'll activate this, be safe food from destruction while it's still in the field. and how it rhonda, keeping life store in doors helps reserve for the life people. in cameroon, it's $600000.00 tons of rise annually, but the country only produces about half of that camera, also imports fish,
12:32 pm
grain and vegetables in large quantities. since world market prices have been on the rise, the country the economy, is in serious trouble. what now? it wouldn't be easy to increase the amount of farm land. one on trepner had an idea that also helps the environment. he to be a good harvest. roland, home, down, east, please. 10 years ago the communion started greenhouse honey. this method requires lease water and less land than conventional farming. relieving pressure on the environment. hominem now has more than 100 greenhouse farms across. come you. he grows crops that is cast or generally only available in certain seasons. we grow based on what the market demands. we grow bell peppers because prior to all doing bell peppers, they were actually been imported. one of the things we'll been able to do is to shore to the communions that listen. the things that are normally been imported or
12:33 pm
grown abroad could also be grown here. there's plenty of produce on sale on the market, but the war in a train has caused prizes for food to go up. not just income, but cross the continent. sorry, food prices are making it hard for families to afford complete means. the stamps are good, we can carry on for family and am pinks. african farmers can land from the crises and better their agricultural output by changing how farming is done with the grocery crisis. it is a chorus on a blessing at the same time. and i believe that it actually reminds us of the need of, you know, industrialized oil, c position agriculture and where double presence john agriculture, greenhouse varmint, sits are the very core of that greenhouse farming is still quite new. in many parts of africa. it could be part of the solution to a wider problem. namely, africans depending on food inputs. in ghana for example, tend tomatoes from europe and china, mid domestic,
12:34 pm
tomato farming has completely collapsed and it's not just all matters. africa now imports 80 percent of its food. roland hammond, m is kin to reduce that dependence for come iran and neighboring countries. he's looking to pass on his expertise to others. in 2021, he founded the greenhouse academy 29 year old to go. so neater is one of dozens of young people that form in them is mentoring. she spent the last 6 months learning what did text to set up under, on a greenhouse form. before coming here, i didn't have any clue. maybe i had just the busy knowledge about fun, but i do not have the real knowledge about greenhouse. so i was just delighted when i saw it on facebook. samuel adams team harvest crops every week from his farm around major cities and rural areas. this greenhouse alone has about 3000 cherry tomato and bell pepper plants. the team has harvested 260 killers of belt papers to
12:35 pm
day. later this afternoon, the inter printer is meeting with the management of the supermarket in delilah. i hear from you. don't scrubs are prairie test over the imported competitors. it is long said that bel papers for example, hold in, flourish here for me and dumps business model disapproved that to look out for a while. the supermarket now buys is produced at reasonable praises. hello. yep. news is of there are many reasons to work with local producers. well yeah. first the crops are fresher because they're grown locally. secondly, they're cheaper. importing these kinds of goods is expensive. buying them locally means we can sell them to our customers for an affordable price. they may have taken off he off rollin for me, and am, is pushing for sustainable and organic food cultivation. he smart innovation can help transform cameron's farming industry while at the same time reducing the
12:36 pm
carbon footprint. smart farming methods are one thing, but the goods also have to reach consumers. in ghana, according to the minister of agriculture. 30 to 40 percent of the harvest is lost every year because potential buyers live far away from where the grain and vegetables are produced. the problem is now been solved using new technology. it's are doing your bits report this week ha, for 12 years, ability bungle, has been growing vegetables on his farm for the domestic market in ghana. he's satisfied with the good harvest, but he has a hard time marketing his produce. so far he's only been able to sell them through intermediaries who take their own cut. always years, we often don't get fare prices. i get the intermediaries, mostly market. women don't give us
12:37 pm
a good price. there's nothing we can do about it because they have direct contact with consumers. it's a big problem. but the co awful market place is helping to level out the playing field. it's an online platform where farmers can offer their produce directly to both traders and consumers. the app was developed by engineers at a research institute in gonna win every year up to 40 percent of ganeth harvests are lost because they don't reach consumers in time. and plus, farmers earn a higher income if they market their produce without intermediaries. any farmer who wants to participate has to register and be strictly screened. co, awful employees visit ability bongo to they want to ensure that he can deliver on time on the platform not only helps farmers market their produce directly. it also helps to ensure that less food gets thrown away in ghana.
12:38 pm
and how about you? if you are also doing your bit, tell us about is this is l websites both send us a tweet. hash tag doing jo, banks. we shack your stories and confirmed to ghana, getting products to markets in europe is easy, but they don't have enough agriculture. a land to produce weeks, for example. that is right, crease for dickens. europe has imported a lot of grain from ukraine. now they are growing campaigns to free up more land for every culture. for example, on the italian island of sicily. but it's not that simple. the war in ukraine has created demand on open space for other purposes. energy production the while
12:39 pm
the area around tra, pony in western, cecily is so rich in wind and sun. it's mocking a wave of gold rush. viva architect unto nena masada said it's an el dorado for renewables to in the city. we build prevent everyone's lining up these key on the french give german americans, not just italians, loans older than me. and then hawaii e, like international companies, want to invest in the production of electricity, which is generated by our wind tunnel sign wants to. so your bill, so when the wind turbines are turning, that means business is booming for the sicilian mazata broke his licenses for wind and solar parks. that includes fields where green one screw fell, the tortoise and angelo still farms his land. here in eastern cecily, his family has been growing wheat for generations. he wouldn't dream of sacrificing his land for solar park or wind farm. that had been one availability on him. that
12:40 pm
would be tragic in the end of a naturally grown product, the yamuna. glad. they won't do that, but right next to his field, there are markings on the road, electricity pylons will soon be built here for a solar park further down in the plane. the man who is here on site wanted to see the project stops or you know why they were in the top of it down to the lab difficult thought lake antonini egg. the investors are exploiting the farmers financial difficulty as he said he, what they receive rather to be a little money for their crops haley, but a lot of money for their land o u t. can i tell who would say no to back to the local stream g, but it would be the end of the tradition and identity of farming here a lot or a lot of rain did that. even the italian state is encouraging farmers to profit from the opportunity the vessel, the tortoise st. angelo, his grain is his life within granted that this is all natural, untreated durham,
12:41 pm
we'd shine, you can tell by the fine flowery powder that sticks too. it a lot that way. back in west and cecily and tanina, masada, and his son just epi, are looking for land. they still maps and scout around for locations suitable for photovoltaic power plants. they're looking to require at least 60 hector of land sale to renew it. warner, elnora and orange is o 3 only tourney is the terrain as good and there are no legal restrictions. all the purchase price can be $25000.00 euros per hectare gilchrist. our little of in the gene gray miller, you're a dental for the owners at a really great deal. no. cuz the all the missouri's use a drone to inspect the sight of the future. so le park, they checked the soil fe erosion which could hinder construction. if all goes well, renewable energy could soon be produced here. bear with audio ha, 330 of indian grandma. you can get a 100000 euros for sewing for hector's,
12:42 pm
of land on the label. but a former mixtures, $3000.00 euros a year for hector, at best cultivating graeme and 11 arrows over the left bay. that when the warrior ingersoll. okay, so how many years of work does it take to make as much money as i can get from our straight away love? we love you a little bit, a little bit of renewables instead of farming. many sicilians fear that due to the war in ukraine life on the island could quickly change if the russian gas needed for energy production were to stop flowing. but that creates a conflict of interest. since italy is currently unable to import supplies from the bread baskets of ukraine and russia, italians need to grow more wheat themselves. because without grain, this bred or pasta. what been solid, okay, shall be always on your the can't be acceptable. the java or our future energy, nance, we start turning the greenfields of sicily into rows of windmills and solar panels . leonard, i'm just facing the landscape gentlemen. they're not boiling very doyle,
12:43 pm
local mass and farmers are demanding fair pay for cultivating grain. and they say solar power could just as well be produced using rooftop panels without sacrificing fertile farmland and tanina. my thought it doesn't understand their concerns. he wants renewables from sicily at any price with the old mill freeman lovario diesel to the credit union. we have to provide the capacity now because we're running out of rushing gas building, veteran energy dodge, of all the have clean energy away. you just have to harness a little bit with electricity or bread, renewable energy, or farmland. the warm and ukraine is forcing people in sicily to make tough choices to sustainable concepts for the restaurants are all well and good. but what actually ends up on all the markets, aunt on the dinner table in europe?
12:44 pm
many what at all was and it could come by or even spinach don't meet eels funded. i said the world in the field, that is where an organization in spain is focusing eats if what it does harvest and delivers them to the food banks, adding nutritional value to the handouts for the needy. oh good, good. it's all hands on deck in this spinach field just outside barcelona and our grass and the team of volunteers are collecting all they can to day their efforts will supply many needy people in the region with fresh food sympathy, weiss gay. wow, there's so much i can't really gauge how much. yeah, but it should be enough to feed $100.00 families or even more on the quote a must. and i could ask worse for the a speaker lathers, the glee nurse,
12:45 pm
the non profit organization collect leftover crops after the commercial harvest on many fields in spain's catalonia region. this practice was more common before industrialized farming and the introduction of strict regulations. now it has been revived here by the s b will adults around 8 percent of the world's crops, i believe, to be lost at harvest time. the european union fruit and vegetables are rejected to fed too big or small and don't comply with appearance standards see out as that was in god, but they were in the field of spinach that hasn't been sold on the market because there was not enough demand for it and that in don't this enough to we had, i was call him though. so if we wouldn't be harvesting the spin generally element, it would go to wayne asked her to be in the say, k bassetti of the farmer would simply plow through the field here with his tried her to prepare it for the next harvest. but update, but i got so what we're doing here is removing the spinet. she's got to give it
12:46 pm
a 2nd opportunity. oh, but a lot less. onasia will know, board the lead up last year alone, her organisation saves over $600000.00 killers of fruit and vegetables. in this way, the water and c o 2 emissions invested in their growth were not in vain. the rescued produce arrives in this warehouse. it's then distributed to charities across the region. avid the economic fall out from to pandemic. demand that spain's food banks has at times doubled. now rising prices and economic uncertainty caused by the warn, ukraine are putting more pressure on the fall neural current enough on our phone to coordinate the deliveries at the warehouse in barcelona port a lap. lucky on getting am i from the people who are most in need have the poorest diet coming out because in the end, the cost of food determines what they eat. yeah, later, but again, ensuring that they're supplied with a minimum of high quality basic producing. it's very important for these people's health. if they in let me finish how they qualify. the volunteers activities helped
12:47 pm
build momentum for the drafting of a regional bill to prevent food loss and waste. recently passed, the legislation promotes the practice of gleaning as a solution. a similar law will come into force nationwide. as beagle others found our media barava is proud of that. she started the organisation in 2014. now she also runs in operation on the outskirts of fossil luna. that produces its own brand of preserves, made from food that otherwise would be thrown away to day. they're cooking a pumpkin recipe, and apple sauce. people who work here come from disadvantaged backgrounds and have struggled with exclusion. now rather than we begin yet, this is only a small factory left with masculinity. but unlike in an industrial sized factory of people who work hair get the chance to try their hand at different jobs. idea in every step of the production process back it up with
12:48 pm
a socket though. would it have if they, they can prepare fruits and vegetables and cook them their money, but i can learn how to come them or how to rush on them. then bessalo the 5th gather it's a spring board to future job opportunities that elena morales moved from honduras to spain, hoping for a better future. 4 years she struggled. a job here is a lifeline. me day about about and her team helped to obtain the work permits she never had before. now she has a steady income or more meet on that with an immigrant. you don't have a lot of opportunities to work. you either work on an hourly basis without a contract and they don't pay the same. or you just take any job whatever comes out without documents at all. very complicated. not only for me, but also for my daughter that i almost gave up and went back to honduras city me landfill, a notice on mountain death in the past few years around 50 people found
12:49 pm
a job here. financing is generated for the sales of the preserves and state funding committee about about needs more soon. she wants to expand damage from what they owe them, but he said of yeah, we created a social business model that has 3 ames so yeah, let's get the reduction of food loss mainly of vegetables on free element, the right to healthy nutrition for every one, but especially for those in a vulnerable situation. the but i pulled that off before and we also wanted to offer job opportunities for these people out in it out of what may have, how would i left that i sent that off, but invalid went from i to miss projects as a model that can work not only on a national scale, but also internationally that did one though, because in every city there were these 3 necessity as it which of the reason we exist on an existence that depends on plenty of helping hands. the people here are happy to be contributing to a circular economy and social justice was that all had people in the long run with
12:50 pm
our goal is to disappear daily. but that would only happen if the on the food loss and the other social challenges we face and we're sort of linda. so that might be a bit utopian. he annoyed the galenas of parsa. lona are likely to have their work cut out for years to come, because there are still plenty of fields with an abundance to share from growing vegetables in europe to raising the livestock in render, just like the human animals, both wild aunt domesticated need food in order to survive, when it comes to cows and other livestock, sometimes they create their own problems. it seems silly, but it's true. if the animals goble up everything in sight, it leaves the land depleted without it might a community. rhonda is taken steps to keep both the land and the animals held. the emperor duck chopping up grass for cows. traditionally
12:51 pm
katelyn rwanda, a left to graze outside, but rebellion ogrinas a keeps his cows in a barn. every day he and his wife prepare at least 100 kilos of fodder just for their 3 cows. then he has sheep and pigs in sheds to ground up your quote on the riddle. keeping cattle in the enclosure is a policy that we have to enforce. what i do is say cattle are not allowed to graze in the fields anymore. or we have to feed them in a pan like i'm doing here to prevent them from damaging the environment. it doesn't, and as a matter, cassandra, but many cattle heard is still follow conventional methods like juvenile in the sands humana in the southern region of bouquets. sarah, he leads his animals to grassy areas to feed. but increasingly grazing land is in short supply to to you mccardie, we live in a region that suffers a lot of drought. we got to law. i don't think we'd be able to find enough to feed
12:52 pm
our cattle if we didn't take them to uncultivated areas to graze longer, they would just starve yellows for both auto group. but over grazing serves to loosen the soil, allowing it to be washed away during the rainy season. this erosion is a growing problem. it's a vicious circle. but that's not the only reason. rwanda is seeking to anchor. it's 0 grazing policy in national law. one day there is a say, cancer which has a very high density population concentration. and so when we, we, we've, we, we focus on 0 grizzle. we want to increase the manual management. we wanted to, to reduce the spread of diseases. and one was actually, we want the better management of this more broad of land that we have to help
12:53 pm
farmers adjust to the new method. the agricultural board of his training course is lasting several weeks. they run by a government initiative called greening gorenca. the farmers are taught which grasses are especially nutritious, like the thin roads grass stored in crates. it will keep for almost 3 years. another conventional option is napier grass, which can be stored in the ground from either quote around or y'all, which we have just compressed the fodder and covered the last part with a tarpaulin. that way the ground will be covered and we will create gullies to prevent water from penetrating the grass and restructure through through the furnace stool. this way, napier grass will also keep for up to 3 years. it allows farmers to keep feeding their herds through several dry seasons, which usually last for 3 to 4 months of the year. the chinook to what's new for
12:54 pm
me is that i now know how to adapt to any changes in the climate. i'll be able to feed my cattle and i don't have to worry any more of it that nissan rebellion hungary zane has had his livestock inside. now for more than 2 years. it involves more work providing the fodder and cleaning out the stalls. but the training calls also taught him how to recycle the cow dung road. that's another key aspect of the project that is sugar hose, the code dung. and julian are having c or did all mitten gus that destroyed the sky. so we've got to model fibbed, they are able to collect, adapt my newer, and they're, they have knowledge on how to make composts of that my newer, by mixing with crop residues. so they have a good compos that not only helps to improve the soil, but also to bind methane gas in the dung, reducing greenhouse gas emissions in
12:55 pm
a region that has a lot of livestock farmer juvenile in the suns humana has decided to start keeping his livestock in bombs to he's come to rebellion louisa to find out more. oh, what did you call? this project has taught me that it's possible to keep animals in a pen and that they can be better off than my own. that grays on the hills, keeping livestock in a pen is beneficial and easy, or i have to change the way i raise my animals, little quarterly or more lead adults on that. if you look livestock, a key to the survival of farmers throughout this orig, region. the project is now teaching them to manage their animals in a way that's less of a burden on the environment. the lesson i learned from this special edition on food security is that we have to find a balance between the needs of animals and humans, as well as between agriculture and markets demands. i am chris,
