holiday destinations and drowning in plastic weiss, we, we like to look at the causes every year. europe exposure for 1000000 tons of plastic with there. another way. after all, the employment isn't to recyclable. make up your own mind. d. w. made for mines. ah, ah. with bringing producers and consumers together with innovative ideas in the food industry. we need to manage, afford res, possibly, and course of precious resources. we'll walk them to

a special edition on food and the environment. i am sandra to be nobody from compiler here in uganda. thank you, sandra. hello from the to chris alone in the state niger area in africa. more than 250000000 people don't have enough to eat while the continents could potentially feed itself with feature initiatives from africa and europe. that to address the problem of food waste. for example, i'm gonna bring together. i'll activate this, be safe food from destruction while it's still in the field. and how it runs in life store indoor helps preserve for life. people in cameroon, it's $600000.00 tons of rise annually while the country only produces about half of that camera, mostly in port fish, grain and vegetables,

in large quantities as well. market prices have been on the rise. the country's economy is in serious trouble. what now it would be easy to increase the amount of farm land one on the new i had an idea that also help the environment a to be a good harvest. roland, home and east teased 10 years ago. the communion started greenhouse funding. these method requires lease water and less land than conventional farming, relieving pressure on the environment from windham now has more than $100.00 greenhouse farms across country. he grows crow status. costs are generally only available in certain seasons. we grow based on what the market demands. we grow back up as because prior to doing better as they were actually been important, one of the things we've been able to do is to show it to the company that listen to things that are normally been imported or grown abroad. could also be growing here

. there's plenty of produce on cell. other market by the war in train has caused prizes for food to go up, not just income, but cross the continent. soaring food, praises are making it hard for families to afford complete means. the stamps are good, we can carry on for formula and pinks. african farmers can land from the crises and better their agricultural output by changing how farming is done with erosion. crisis. it is a chorus on a blessing out the same time. and i believe that it actually reminds us of the need of, you know, industrialized oil, the position agriculture and where to go present. john agriculture, greenhouse varmint, sits are the very core of it. greenhouse farming is still quite new. in many parts of africa. it could be part of the solution to a wider problem. namely, africans depended on food inputs. in ghana for example, tend tomatoes from europe and china, mid domestic tomato farming has completely collapsed and it's not just on metals.

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 gone. so nita is one of dozens of young people that form in them is mentoring. she spent the last 6 months learning what it takes 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 from you on dms 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

day. later this afternoon, the inner 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 from your dumps. business model disapproved that silica while the supermarket now buys, is produced at reasonable praises. hello. yeah. preserve 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 okay off, rollin fermi, and am, is pushing for sustainable and organic food cultivation. i think he's smart. innovation can help transform cameron's farming industry while at the same time reducing the 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 bongo has been growing vegetables on his farm for the domestic market in ghana. he's satisfied with the good harvests, 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 yes, we often don't get fare prices at the intermediaries, mostly market. women don't give us 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 marketplace 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 ghana would have every year up to 40 percent of ganeth harvests are lost because they don't reach consumers in time. 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 author when please visit our belloc bongo too. they want to ensure that he can deliver on time whether the platform not only helps farmers market their produce directly. it also helps to ensure that less food gets thrown away in ghana

and tell about you if you are also doing your bit, tell us about it. this is all websites both send us the tweets hash tag doing your best we share your stories and confirmed to ghana getting products to market in europe. it's easy, but they don't have enough agriculture land to produce widths. 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 ugly 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 area around connie and western sicily is so rich in wind and sun, it's bulking

a wave of gold rush, beaver architect and nino mazata says it's an older radi for renewables to in the city or event. everyone's landing under the sky on the french, german americans, not just italians, not going to go to a national companies want to invest in the production of electricity, which is generated by our wind down 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 grain, one screw saw the tortoise and angelo still farms his land. here in eastern sicily, his family has been growing wheat for generations. he wouldn't dream of sacrificing his land for soda park, a wind farm. i've been when i've had a delivery on it. that would be tragic in the end of a naturally grown product,

the yamuna. glad. they went to the data, 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 stopped or you know why they were going to recap of donald. they lab difficult thought lake antonini egg. the investors are exploiting the farmer's financial difficulty, as he said he, when they receive relatively little money for their crops. haley, but a lot of money for their land o. u. k. carrington, who would say no to that 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 theda. even the italian state is encouraging farmers to profit from the opportunity the vessel, the tortoise st. angelo, his grain is his life. christiane, granted that this is all natural, untreated, durham, we to shine, you can tell by the fine flowery powder that sticks too. it j. o 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 a warner. elnora and orange is all 3 only tuning is the terrain is 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. got a really great deal. no cause yawning them as iris. user 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. comparable diarrhea. ha, 330 of indian grandma. you can get a 100000 euros for selling for hector's of land. but

a former mix of $3000.00 euros a year, put hector, at best cultivating graeme and 11 arrows over the la basin. when the warrior english saw more 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, the liberals will be the 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, future energy, nance, we start turning the greenfields of sicily into rows of windmills and solar panel lang. my just based on the landscape gentlemen is not born very doyle,

local mass and farmers are demanding fair pay for cultivating grain. and they say so the 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 old mill freeman lovario verizon fios we'll credit you if you do have to provide the capacity now because we're running out of rushing gas building, veteran energy dodge, of all the have clean energy and where you just have to harness little to been with electricity, all bread renewable energy will, farmland, the war in 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?

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 deliver 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 that hooking wise k. 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 works for the a speaker leathers, the glee nurse,

the non profit organization collects left over 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 stand that's see out as that was in god. boy, they were in the field of spinach. that hasn't been sold on the market because there was not enough demand for it under in, don't they see not the we had, i'm was call him though. so if we wouldn't be harvesting the spinner generally element, it would go to wayne asked her to be in the say, ok, bassetti of the farmer would simply plow through the field here with his try to get her to prepare it for the next harvest. but update, but audio god. so what we're doing here is removing the spinach. she's got to give it a 2nd opportunity, but oddly enough, they will know what the lead up last year alone,

her organisation saves over 600000 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 the 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 vulnerable current enough on our phone to coordinate the deliveries at the warehouse in barcelona. port a lap a black young anthony, i'm actually the people who are most in need have the poorest diet. what company? because in the end, the cost of food determines what they eat here later. but at ensuring that they're supplied with a minimum of high quality, basic producing which is very important for these people's health. if they in let me finish how they qualify. the volunteers activities helped build momentum for the

drafting of a regional bill to prevent food loss and waste. recently passed, the legislation promotes the practice of cleaning as a solution. a similar law will come into force nationwide. as beagle, others found a media. barbara is proud of that. she started the organisation in 2014. now she also runs in operation on the outskirts of fossil owner 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 rather than we begin. yes, this is only a small factory left with marcus, tennessee. but unlike in an industrial sized factory of people who worked here, get the chance to try their hand at different jobs idea in every step of the production process. backing up, what 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. the matter though they are the 5th gather it's a spring board to future job opportunities. catalina morales move from honduras to spain, hoping for a better future. 4 years she struggled. the job here is a lifeline. media about about and her team helped to obtain the work permits she never had before. now she has a steady income. when we 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 up without documents at all. very complicated. not only for me, but also for my daughter, but i almost gave up and went back to honduras. they the planet assign mountain to death. in the past few years around 50 people found 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 their mom from while they know them. but as of yet, we created a social business model that has 3 ames so here, let's get the reduction of food loss mainly of vegetables and free. it's kelly meant the right to healthy nutrition for every one, but especially for those and a vulnerable situation. the but i pull that off before and we also wanted to offer job opportunities for these people out it out of me. i would i left, but i felt much on that i'm of potential. what for my to miss projects as a model that can work not only on a national scale, but also internationally. i did wonder because in every city there were these 3 necessity as it which are 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 thrown. could people in the long run with our goal is to disappear galia, but that would only happen if the on the food loss and the other social challenges

we face and were solved as if, when i was so that might be a bit utopian. ian or the galena so far sedona are likely to have their work cut out for years to come. because there are still plenty of fuels with an abundance to share from growing vegetables in europe to raising the livestock in render. just like the human animals, both wild and 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 lamb depleted without it might a community. rhonda is taking steps to keep both the land and the animals held. thee and productive chopping up grass for cows. traditionally, catelynn rwanda a left to graze outside, but rebellion always

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 our record on renado. keeping cattle in the enclosure is a policy that we have to enforce. what i do, i 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 that doesn't and is a master called us over. but many cattle heard us still follow conventional methods like juvenile in the sunday mana, in the southern region of bogus era. he leads his animals to grassy areas to feed, but increasingly grazing land is in short supply to pre 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

our cattle. if we didn't take them to uncultivated areas to graze longer, they would just starve. y'all was a feeble dog. 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 days is they say cancer, which has a very high density population concentration. and so when we, we, we, we, we, we focus on 0 grizzle. we want to increase the mon, you are my much rent. we wanted to, to reduce the spread of diseases. and one was actually, we want the better management of this more broad mandate. we have to help 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 quarter of already overfit. 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 worked out for twitter before the steward this way, napier grass will also keep for up to 3 years either it allows farmers to keep feeding their herds through several dry seasons, which usually last for 3 to 4 months of the year. they seemed to what's new for 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 what is happening. nissan. rebellion who go easy 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 decided to go home to code dung and union, a hovering cod all milton gaz that destroyed the sky. so we have that to model said they are able to collected that manure. and there they have knowledge on how to make composts over that my new are by mixing with cropper, his dues. 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 a region that has

a lot of livestock. pharma juvenile in the suns humana has decided to start keeping his livestock in bombs to he's come to rebellion, who agrees it 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 lou donaldson 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, alums from morgan state nigeria. see you next week. i do agree with you, chris,

all the best for me to, but of course we do ask you to keep in touch with us by using our social media channels. i am sandra, twin over there from compiler, here in uganda. it is a good bye for now. a, [000:00:00;00] a blue
