analyze the fight for market dominance. east, this is wes judas. did that head with the w business beyond? hey guys at abilene shar my welcome to my podcast, love matter. by and by celebrities influences and experts to talk about all playing . loved thanks from dating again today. nothing's been left of all these things and more in the new season of the plot can make sure to tune and wherever you get your path and join the conversation because you know, it love matters. ah ah ah, how was the food that you have joined us to day for echo africa?
8:31 am
welcome. i am crazed the lamps coming to you from ogen state nigeria, and with me as my colleague in uganda. hi, sandra. hi, chris. hello everybody. my name is sandra to no video here in comply uganda. today on the show, we look at why sustainable farming is so crucial to serving alfred j environment. also coming up on the program today. how lovey, can some us useful? what slice a in uganda? how an architect in merkel is building houses more sustainably and why the people into colored kenya are suffering from climate change? agriculture plays a major role when it comes to climate change. things like of when you excite emissions created by livestock or hearing for a school or a blind and more and more often,
8:32 am
seeds are genetically modified or manipulated. now a group of farmers from tunisia want to stop this trend and accusing to use the old seed varieties instead. an orbit gene harvest not far from the tunisian capital. here on he's one and a half acres of land selling must go you farms, fruits and vegetables is yields are smaller than when he uses imported or genetically modified seeds. but saline must, we've still prefers local seeds. mostly them. they don't look particularly good. sometimes they are small and crooked, but they produce better quality fruit, more nutritious and test here, and better adapted to our climate somewhere. sally must go avoid such official
8:33 am
fertilizers as well. he prefers to make his own compost how in the home. so i assume that of the i, the i know from we were trying to produce our own organic fertilizers, all work. you had the 1st i use chicken excrement because it has a lot of nitrogen. the yes we and then we add their remnants of fruits and vegetables that were thrown out at markets from the, from a switch over whose he do. finally, we add a beat of he, which has a lot of carbon here and highly via and her to been for decades to needs is government bought both hybrid and genetically engineered seeds. they were meant to produce gretel yields. the country still imports around 85 percent of its seats to day. but increasing numbers of farmers want to return to using local seeds to neither said, bank has been able to help them. they found asian seeds from tunisia in other countries which they returned to their homeland since 2008,
8:34 am
they've collected more than 7700 different c types. no coverage on the secret usage and the walk we are doing today focuses on genes as well as which genotype you parts crop quality and whether or not these traits fit a particular criteria. we might be able to use them for cross pollination which would in turn lead to volume protein of what the body, the eat, a or else more male to help better market his product, sally must go. he goes a to fairs regularly, the focus on investments and technological developments in farming this year slogan is sustainable agriculture, which is an increasingly growing trend indonesia as well. we'll see them talk. the farmer's local seeds are known for their unique test and health benefits . these are the seats, our grandparents were familiar with. the all is found the best once and past them
8:35 am
on. it is an inheritance they've passed on to us young farmers. every year they gathered the best seats. both of them yet selling music gooey is fortunate to leave so close to the capital. he can market his products at lots of different places, including at sustainable farming events in tony's organic farmers can sell their goods here once a week. i want to animate their money among her sasha. we're fighting for independent food production on multiple fronts. we are trying to get farmers to gather seeds. at the same time, we are trying to produce more seats together with our partners in what one i see. and we'll do a lastly at and say, we'll go through our money manual pattern, heirloom, and we also doing our best to educate farmers and show them how they can contact class directly or via social media ammonia and actually darla sitting down on acm beach. lamb. i love it. the organization hopes that more people will use
8:36 am
traditional local seats as alternatives to imported once. selim mccoy has started collecting his own like this of a gene seats us by from my wible wiggle room, a hi leah, of grown aware of the important role that local seats play and amusing that knowledge. the demand for the original seas has risen and the prices have gone up along with it. which seeds sailors are taking advantage of money. these seats should really be available to all farmers. and the best case scenario would be farmers obtaining and reproducing them themselves. hello, incentive, hostile would all, by going to shower. the strategy suddenly seems to be working with the origins. salim mccoy hopes that the will soon be as plentiful as his lavender, which grows on its own in tunisia, and is considered one of the most common plants in the country.
8:37 am
sticking with a topic of agriculture, a lot has changed since an invasion of ukraine, for farmers while wide seeds and fertilizer have become more expensive. this is why some farmers in uganda have come up with a new foot laser, which is not only cheaper than conventionalized, but also better for the environment. in uganda, the price for some important for glazes has more than doubled russia. a major supplier is facing international sanctions and a gun and importers and consumers, a filling the report effect. customers are not planning to buy because it's very expensive. it has affected us alert. other yes, asking the price as they move out, because it's very expensive. now you get in every culture scientist a, b, b gosh, he's offering an alternative it comes from this is more fly called the black.
8:38 am
so to fly, which has been found to be a source of organic from lasers. it does exist within the, in that environment. bailey, the matter over attracting them and then use that bidding them one fleet is about average 1000 eggs in about 4 days the eggs growing to larvae and when levy grew into a doubt, flies they leave behind a pew by reaching nutrients for and more feeds and this or use you're getting a if a laser and organic for to lay that is very lay a boy you, you produce it on site to produce it in quantities you want. and then you also get an alternative protein source for in case of being livestock. let me go walk through the dodge founded company, quote, marilla protein. the company receives funding from donors like voluntary services overseas, to train local farmers to produce their own foot lasers. who started with 10
8:39 am
farmers, but today they are over 1200 rosen, that uganda sees she could not afford for lasers until she was trained to make her own or requisites her while he was available resources at my home, such as food leftovers, that i would have thrown away to get fertilizers. i do not spend any money on it. apart from my energy from wildwood are mine. capella, happy to city authority has no partnered with marilla protein to manage the cities waste problem. as the lovey can feed on organic waste. they now produce over 2 times a foot lasers per day, but still not enough for farmers. we have or does a standing order as of, of to time or one time or 3 times or 5 times. and we cannot, we can, we don't have the capacity to fulfill that or those. or does luca hopes this can be an opportunity for africans to fly away from,
8:40 am
depending on imported for lasers on the tiny wings of the black. so to fly, moving from agriculture to architecture, the construction and operation of buildings contributes to climate change to the nato nations. estimates that this sector is responsible for almost 40 percent of all capone oxide emissions want white wall above quite a lot of it's one reason architects around the globe of thinking about alternatives like using different building materials. and we went to morocco to see an example of all, some in the industry are doing the i bits ha, new buildings and morocco are usually made with concrete. that means they usually warm up quickly and aren't very sustainable. lots of c o 2 is produced during the construction, and the material can't be recycled. but near the capital robot,
8:41 am
a small houses being built to last forever, or at least a long, long time. and all its components can be reused if no longer needed architect ibrahim bout who designed the building and is supervising its construction. the house is made out of clay. he says, it can last for centuries of well cared for. unlike concrete, which has a maximum life span of 120 years. but the best thing about the material thorough says, is the quality of life. it offers a coil in the head, nor did beneath plenty of this style of housing could insulate buildings from outside heat, exceeding 40 degrees celsius. for 14 hours, smith reads men hot out and heard a great degree of coolness and humidity is guaranteed indoors. an eloquent, however, that of the robot where i live all dogs safe. in addition to the clay walls of bizarre pnc and serve as a heat reservoir, which will keep the house warm in winter and william till sl holla,
8:42 am
even when there's not much sign like a holiday lip. natural materials for the construction are piled all around the site . straw makes the brick stable and provides insulation. wooden long, small support the roof while stone slabs will serve as frames for windows and doors . but most important is a multi purpose material which is used everywhere in the house. but then little job, ha, a skill. and when we make use of different types of soil for different purposes, lee wanted briggs glowing them together during the laying process of lift and straightening the walls afterwards. and we're add you to a skill you to look us and we hadn't made this into g. we also employ natural lie work as a substitute with for samantha leo. the you could let sticks bricks together and protects buildings from the damage natural elements. my causes also, but especially re you who can at some level there with that during the building process. we also rely on, hey, a would, and cain of helen with all he shot in
8:43 am
a few more weeks, the house will be finished, carbon neutral, sustainable, and recyclable. and probably really cosy tilt ah, and how about you? if you are also doing your bit, tell us about it, visit our website, or send us a tweet. patch tag doing your bit. we share your stories. whoa, that's pretty is pirate. but the global population keeps growing, which means more construction. by 2030 experts saying that almost 60 percent of the work population will leave in picks. it is how can we make living in these places, greener and build more sustainably? one solution could be the credo to credo concepts. let's take
8:44 am
a closer look. these german buildings don't only look modern, but they might also pave the way to a circular future. they're built according to the cradle to cradle concept. the idea is to replace our cradle to grave economy, where we take, make and waste, with a circular one where the products are designed in a way that its materials can be reused over and over again. normal sophie griffon is the founder of the cradle to create a lab. it's an n g o dedicated to spreading circular, regenerative design, thinking across industries, politicians, and desires. welcome to their cradle to cradle out. you can come in here. we start here. if you see like from the lamps that you can see and from the mushroom material totally fall biological cycles, according to the concept normal, so fi, griffon's, father, michelle brown, god and his colleague william mcdonough created everything we built must go to
8:45 am
either what they call the biological cycle or the technical cycle, that means the materials used to build the products, need to decompose, thus becoming nutrients for the soil or dismantled to become what they call technical nutrients and re used and other products with. so in here, right, you can see a lot of products that are already produced in a cradle to create a manner this flooring. and you can see if i move, i can actually take it with me for quite cool that you don't need to glue this. it is made out from the packing material, losing as an a credit cray, not the best idea to do because quite difficult to disassemble. the lab uses these carpets that are totally made of recycled fibers. and it's not glued. and you can bring it back to the company and they can recycle it and make it totally new.
8:46 am
carpet out of logos of grief on argues that there are a lot of natural alternatives to most of our commonly used toxic products. this material is quite interesting because it's like a material that you cannot just take from the intrusion. you don't need actually to change it a lot. so called damp tune balls are basically dead sea grass that could be collected on shores and used as a high quality insulation. material on these examples seem perfect and relatively easy to implement. but we need to change the way we have built our homes and priorities for the past decades. 50 years ago, we knew that there are negative environmental consequences if we have certain building habits. so in the beginning be had felt that we require new knowledges to be able to build appropriately. but right now we have a different problem. professor arnold palmer condo is an award winning architect,
8:47 am
mostly known for her sustainable projects. like these ones. when standardization is being imposed, then the must have the courage to question the limits of standardization. and the construction sector is especially standardized and rigorously conservative. some practices haven't changed in centuries. concrete, for example, it's the 2nd most used material in the world, only after water. if it was a country, it would have been the world's 3rd largest carbon polluter. after china and the u. s. last year, we produced 4400000000 metric tons of concrete. according to the u. n's projections at this rate, we will be producing enough concrete to build the entire city of paris every week for the next 40 years old. that is a lot of concrete. and for several reasons, this material is not widely recycled. a big one is standardized,
8:48 am
bad practices says marcel oser, a circular engineer focused on cradle to greater applications in the construction sector. if you use a just the plaster, all concrete uncomfortable is. wiley looks good, so it will fit the purpose. but i will use the quality of the concrete by not being able to use it later. so, gypsum plaster makes the concrete on recyclable. but a similar looking silicon based plaster doesn't affect the reusability of the concrete. or let's look at steel, a universally used material in construction that could have an infinite life cycle . just a simple decision to use bolted connections rather than well did joints will allow the structure to be dismantled, making it easier to reuse the materials. it's all about designing smarter. while these individual solutions are amazingly easy to implement, unfortunately, they alone will not be enough to make the construction sector,
8:49 am
environmentally friendly says, nor was sophie griffon. though we need the market, we need that politicians and we need, this is heidi to go for these ideas. and i think we are already in a state where our society sees that we need to do something different. so crated to cradle can shown the solution. this house, this is actually possible. cradle to cradle is not a miraculous idea. it's just a guide for us to think and build and cycles just like nature does. oh, when i'll turn our attention back to africa, which also faces the ongoing question. how can people insure foot security in the face of the climate crisis? it's particularly urgent question for those who leave on the shores of lake to connor in northern kenya. that is right, greece, the l model of people have long relied on fishing,
8:50 am
but that is becoming increasingly difficult. the entire community is under threat. we paid them a visit. alexander lena appear, looks out over the lake. that's been the source of life for his people, for centuries. the l malone or an ethnic group that live in the north of kenya's, eastern providence. born in 1958, lena appear, has watched his culture slowly disappear over the years due to migration into marriage. and more recently climate change and now the l molo are losing their land and sacred sites to rising water levels and liked her. connor have engulfed roughly 800 square kilometers of land. over the course of a decade. enlarging the lake by 10 percent. my go go renew my then ergo, bugger them in the past and there wasn't any water here and it didn't reach this far. like didn't. now the water has completely flooded our village. oh,
8:51 am
there used to be roads here. the yeah. that now there is only water everywhere you look most of i mean i wish i swallowed up my new. ringback they've totally disappeared by me and my mother, my were dog, the egg, as rainfall became heavier and more frequent, the lake expanded and changed the landscape so much. that lena pers village was suddenly situated on an island. many moved as a result the others had to make major adjustments. not only was the path to the mainland now submerging, but their fresh water pumping station was to. now they get their water from the lake, which leaves them susceptible to diseases. like most her, lana pear has been a fisherman all his life. but ironically, the expanding lake has actually devastated his livelihood. before the waters rose, he would catch about a 100 fish a day. now he averages less than 10. fish can be found in deeper waters. but the
8:52 am
boats aren't safe enough to take out, but far less fish means less income and less to eat. putting a further strain on local families with women, the children's lives are affected in other ways too. there are 2 schools to tell molo bay, but the primary school is now partially submerged. children once walked to school, but now lena, pears, grand daughter, florence, and many of her schoolmates can only get there by boat. gazillion, grady you a long way in the past. we could walk to school who had leg consider did, but when the flooding turned our land into an island that was no longer possible, he took, i did then the county government jaelyn provided both for us to get their he to to were gay. disable and elk literally a banging vain, and often overlooked side effects of global warming is school disruption. it
8:53 am
threatens both the physical safety and psycho social well being of students and teachers. richard smart on as the had teacher at alamo lobe, a primary school. he's observing a drop in academic performance as well as attendance. the once crowded classrooms are often half empty. moran, who's been teaching for 20 years, says he's never witnessed anything like this claim and bring you back in every event than the climate change is threatening the existence of the don't molo drive . because we fully depend on the lake from fluid all over. my says a legal, we don't have fish, we suffer in a we're one back what we don't have fish to sell and buy balanced music was on one of them. i get with those. yep. was want to be a woman that only is part of the valley doesn't merge. but so at the water my blood didn't come a little joy to exit, to fresh drinking water yet to be really. uh huh. so other comedy decal number idea
8:54 am
glenda fresh water. but the al molo are still fighting to uphold that traditional customs and culture. while up to a 1000, people identify themselves as l molo, most from families that have intermarried with other tribes in the region like the to a corner, some bureau and brand deal that to has diluted their unique identity. but they want to preserve what they have and are looking for ways to make the situation more tenable. francis monday is a climate scientist based than the lake took on a basin. he says, putting in trees would be one relatively simple, yet effective step in the right direction. digital news, the level of water that is going to little corner us will us. it will news there. it lucian, that is also hoarsely get work on. and when that one is done, i think the level of water we can use because clear water is going to the
8:55 am
league. the l molo community hasn't yet decided on any major course of action of planting trees could help, but it would also mean giving up arable land, and most importantly it wouldn't help immediately. the situation is making florence worried. she dreams of a career in medicine, but now she fares, her dream may fade because if the changes brought on by the climate crisis, who now quotes her mom, i fear for my future because of the schools end up under water. dear. i won't be able to get an education vocal dazzling whenever they're, they're saying they're going away. the face of this small community starkly illustrates the severity of the climate crisis. the l molo have lived in this area for 2000 years. if nothing changes, it could all be lost within just one decade. well does lead for today we hope you discovered a lot of new, uninspiring ideas to make life just
8:56 am
a little bit better. thanks for watching. i am chris the lamps. good bye. from logan steve. nigeria, see you next week and if you want to know more follow up on us, social media platforms are right to us. anytime my name is sandra 2, nobody does stay safe and good bye from counselor here in uganda. ah. with, [000:00:00;00]

with a fed up
8:58 am
with our team of go and increasing number women in latin america. getting fed up there fighting against sexism, violence, and access to abortion. how effective or protest from st. that up was machismo is 75 minutes on d w. the only way i can be on the top is to create my own empire, discover stories with just a click away. majority of the destination, right? find out they stuck in the trees with the full fry. now i can then treat about it. when i arrived here, i slept with a sick of people in
8:59 am
a room and it was hard. i wish fear i even got white hair is learning the language head. yeah. a lot. this kids to me and craig opportunity to interact with them, you want to know their story, migrant verifying and reliable information for migrant dynamic. if they come in, not everything you enjoy, eating at home with your family, was harvested by people more being exploited if than i piece with the green revolution absolutely necessary. europe revealed the future is thing determined. now, our documentary series will show you how people, companies and countries, are we thinking everything, making later changes you've reviewed this week on d,
