9:30 am
hey sher idea, ah, you know, or this channel, we are not afraid to happen delicate topic. because population is growing fast. and young people clearly have the solution. the future belongs to the 77 percent every weekend on d w. ah, how wonderful that you have joined us today for a co africa welcome. i am crazed the lamps coming to you from ogen state nigeria, and with me as my colleague in uganda. hi, sandra. hi,
9:31 am
chris. hello everybody. my name is sandra tree. nobody will here in comply uganda. today on the show, we look at why sustainable farming is so crucial to serving on friday environment. also coming up on the program today. how lovey can some as useful 40 laser in uganda. how an architect in merkel is building houses more sustainably and why the people into con kenya are suffering from climate change. agriculture plays a major role when it comes to climate change. things like a warn you excite emissions created by livestock or clearing forests who are blind and more and more often, seeds are genetically modified or manipulated. now, a group of farmers from tunisia want to stop this trend and choosing to use the old
9:32 am
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 is empty, 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 time we, sally must go avoids artificial fertilizers as well. he prefers to make his own compost. how in the huge way, assume that of the i the i know we're,
9:33 am
we're trying to produce our own organic fertilization work. he had the 1st i use chicken excrement because it has a lot of nitrogen. yes. we and then we add their remnants of fruits and vegetables that were thrown out at markets for a swim over whose hebrew finally we add a beat of hay which has a lot of carbon here from that highly heavy air. and there have been for the kids to need this government bought both hybrid and genetically engineered seeds. they were meant to produce greater yields. the countries still in ports around 85 percent of it seats to day. but increasing numbers of farmers want to return to using local seeds to neither sit bunk, has been able to help them. they found asian seats from tony's in other countries which they returned to their homeland since 2008, they've collected more than 7700 different seat types. not covered on the surveys you see, and the work we are doing today focuses on genes. as well as which genotype you
9:34 am
parts crop quality and whether or not these traits fit a particular criteria. not we might be able to use them for a cross pollination which would in turn lead to bottom protein to have what the body, the eat, a or else more male to help better market his product. sally must google's or 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 will see that the top, the farmers, 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 on. it is an inheritance they've passed on to us young farmers. every year they gather the best seats. mother, mother,
9:35 am
she is selling mother 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 ammonia, 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 one us. you and we'll do a last little say, we'll get through our money man or back to natural human. 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 lama lobby. the organization hopes that more people will use traditional local seats as alternatives to imported once. selim mccoy has started collecting his own like this
9:36 am
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 with all by going to shower. the strategy suddenly seems to be working with the other genes. sully 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. 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
9:37 am
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 foot lasers has more than doubled. russia in major supplier is facing international sanctions and a gun and importers and consumers a, filling their report effect. customers. i know timing to buy because it's very expensive. as affected as alert either. yes, asking the price as the more value because it's been expensive. now you get in a recount, you, scientist, abby luby gosh, he's offering an alternative it comes from this more fly code. the black switch, a fly, which has been found to be a source of organic from glazes, exist within the in that environment. bailey,
9:38 am
the matter of attracting them and then use that bidding them one flight 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 foot 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 watch the the dutch 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 farmers. but today they're over 1200 rose, much again, da sees. she could not afford for lasers until she was trained to make her own or
9:39 am
because if there 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 come, what would her mind compel? i copy to city authority has now partnered with marilla protein to manage the cities waste problem. as the levy confident organic waste. they now produce over 2 times a foot lasers per day. but still not enough for farmers. we have orders of sending orders of, of 2 times, or one time of the returns or 5 times. and we can, we can, we don't have the capacity to, to fulfill that or does or does luca hopes these can be an opportunity for africans to fly away from, depending on imported from lasers on the tiny wings of the black. so to fly, moving from agriculture to architecture,
9:40 am
the construction and operation of buildings contributes to climate change to the nato nations. estimates thought 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 are thinking about alternatives like using different building materials. and we went to morocco to see an example of all saw in the industry are doing the i bits. bah, 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, a small house is being built to last forever, or at least a long, long time. and all its components can be reused if no longer needed architect
9:41 am
ibrahim, but who designed the building and is supervising its construction. the house is made out of clay. he says, it can last for centuries if well cared for. unlike concrete, which has a maximum like span of 120 years. but the best thing about the material r o says, is the quality of life. it offers the coil in the head. noah did beneath plenty of this style of housing, could insulate buildings from outside heat, exceeding 40 degrees celsius. for 14 hours me, wheat, min, herat, and hurry, a great degree of coolness and humidity is guaranteed indoors an unequal hovel that it was for the robot where little doff safe. in addition of the clay walls absorb nancy and serve as a heat reservoir, which will keep the house warm in winter and william till so hot, even when there's not much sun like a holiday lip. natural materials for the construction are piled all around the site
9:42 am
. straw makes the brick stable and provides insulation. wooden logs will 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 that little chub ha, a skill and when we make use of different types of soil for different purposes, lee warren griggs, glowing them together during the laying process of lift and straightening the walls afterwards. and where i doodle a skill you to look and said, hello, this message. we also employ natural line work as a substitute for samantha leo, the yucatan could the could lapse dixie bricks together and protects buildings from the damage natural elements. my causes though, so, but especially ray, who can at some good, they withheld during the building process. we also rely on, hey, would, and cain of helen with all his auto. in a few more weeks the house will be finished, carbon neutral, sustainable and recyclable. and probably really cosy till
9:43 am
ah, and how about you? if you're also doing your bit, tell us about it, visit our website, or send us or tweet hash 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 a closer look. these german buildings don't only look modern, but they might also pave the way to a circular future. they are built according to the cradle to cradle concept. the
9:44 am
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 designers welcome to the crater to cradle out. you can come in here. we start here. if you see like from the lamps that you can see it from a mushroom material totally fall biological cycles. according to the concept, no, it was. so v griffon's father michel brown got and his colleague william mcdonner, created everything we built must go to either what they call the biological cycle or the technical cycle. that means the materials used to build the products need to
9:45 am
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 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 it's quite difficult to disassemble. the lab uses these carpets that are totally made of recycled fibers. and it's not good. and you can bring it back to the company and they can recycle it and make it totally new. 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
9:46 am
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 toon 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, we 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, 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
9:47 am
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, bad practices says marcel oser, a circular engineer focused on cradled to greater applications in the construction sector. if you use a just a plaster,
9:48 am
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 re usability 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 welded 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, environmentally friendly says, nor was sophie griffon. though we need the market, we need that politicians and we need,
9:49 am
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 in cycles. just like nature does. oh, we now 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 crease. the elmore people have long relied on fishing, but that is becoming increasingly difficult. the entire community is under threat. we paid them
9:50 am
a visit. alexander lena pier looks out over the lake. that's been the source of life for his people. for centuries. the elmo law or an ethnic group that live in the north of kenya's eastern providence. born in 1958 lena pier has watched his culture slowly disappear over the years due to migration into marriage, answering the lake by 10 percent. bob ogo minima then ergo, buggered in, in the past and there wasn't any water. he and it didn't reach this far like in, in now the water has completely flooded our village. oh, there used to be roads here the year that now there is only water everywhere. you look that most of, i mean i would just swallowed up my dear. ringback wave totally disappeared by me and my mother, my why dog or the egg. as rainfall became heavier and more frequent, the lake expanded and changed the landscape so much that lena, pears village was suddenly situated on an island. many moved as
9:51 am
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 leads 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 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 at home are low bay, but the primary school is now partially submerged. children once walk to school,
9:52 am
but now lena, pears, grand daughter, florence, and many of her schoolmates can only get that by boat. gazillion id, you a low grade in the past, we could walk to school who had leg consider good, but when the flooding turned our land into an island that was no longer possible. here he took, i did then the county government gallon provided boards for us to get their he to, to look a disable and elk literally a banging, vain, and often overlooked side effects of global warming is school disruption. it threatens spoke the physical safety and psycho social well being of students and teachers. richard smart on is the had teacher at alamo low bay 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 claimant thing. maggie maverick lives
9:53 am
than the climate change is threatening the existence of the m. o tribe. 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. we're one of them. i get with those apples. when a beer, one of the not only is part of the valley doesn't merge, but so at the water, my linkedin with my joint axis, fresh drinking water yet to be really. uh huh. for the rama, delayed that will now millennia linda, fresh water. but the elmo low are still fighting to uphold their traditional customs and culture. while up to a 1000 people identify themselves as l molo, most from families that of 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
9:54 am
they want to preserve what they have and are looking for ways to make the situation more tangible. francis medea is a climate scientist based than the lake took on a basin. he says, putting in trees will be one relatively simple, yet effective step in the right direction. digital news, the level of water that is going to lead to corner us will us. it will be news there. it lotion, and that is also ghostly, $200.00. and when that one is learned, that the level of water we can use because less water is going to the league. the elmore low community hasn't yet decided on any major course of action level. plants and 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 madison, but now she fares. her dream may fade because of the changes brought on by the
9:55 am
climate crisis. love quotes her mom. i fear for my future because of the schools end up under water beer. i won't be able to get an education, vocal gasoline. 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 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 complex here in uganda.
