familiar with this with the smugglers were lions as of the. what's your story? he wasn't, i was women, especially victims of financing, a lot of take part and send us your story. the chain always to understand this new culture. so you are not a visitor, not the guests. you want to become a citizen in full migrants, your platform for reliable information. i how one the food that you have joined us today for echo 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, 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 of when you excite emissions created by livestock or clearing forests for arable land, and more and more often, seeds are genetically modified or manipulated. now

a group of farmers form to me z a want to stop this trend and choosing to use the old seed varieties instead. an orbit gene harvest not far from bit tunisian capital. here on he's one and a half acres of land solid 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 where sally must go avoid such official fertilizers as well. he prefers to make his own compost. how in the huge way,

assume that a, b i the i know from a, we're, we're trying to produce our own organic fertilizers, all work. he had the 1st i used 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 as well. whoever who is he do. finally, we add a bit of he, which has a lot of carbon here in highly, via and no to been for the kids to need. this government bought both hybrid and genetically engineered seeds. they were meant to produce greater 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. tunisia, seed bank has been able to help them. they found asian seeds from tunisia in other countries which they returned to their homeland since 2008, they've collected more than 7700 different si types. no coverage on the secret you

see and the work we're doing today focuses on genes, as well as with genotype, you parts cropped quality and whether or not these traits fit a bicycle or criteria. we might be able to use them for cross pollination which would in turn leads to volume, protein of what the body, the eat, a or, or 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 seats 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

gathered the best seats about them. yet, selling music boy 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 lastly, it will say, we'll get through our money a 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 money. i learned that he was a darla, sit him down at acm beach lama lobby. the organization hopes that more people will use traditional local seats as alternatives to imported once sally 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 with all by going to shower. the strategy suddenly seems to be working with the aba jin's, solemn music. we 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 some farmers in uganda have come up with a new flood 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 in major supplier is facing international sanctions and the gun and importers and questions, 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 the more value. because it's very expensive. now you get to know because you, scientist, abby, luby, gosh, he's offering an alternative it comes from the small fly code. the blacks would fly, which has been found to be

a source of organic from glazes. it is existed within the, in that environment. bailey, the matter of attracting them and then use that bidding them one flight is about average one, poland eggs in about 4 days the eggs grow into lavvy and when levy grew into a doubt, flies they leave behind it. you by reaching nutrients for animal feeds. and this or use you're getting a laser and again quietly 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 sauce 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 studied with 10 farmers. but today they are over 1200 rosen that she can

da 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, our 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 orders of sending orders of, of 2 tons of one ton of returns or 5 times. and we can, we can, we don't have the capacity 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. 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 global 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 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 a 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 men hot out and heard a great degree of coolness and humidity is guaranteed indoors an unequal hovel. out of the ripple, well, where i live all up safe, in addition to 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 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 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 due to lucas and we hadn't read this message. we also employ natural line work as a substitute for samantha leo. lee could could the could laps dixie bricks together and protects buildings from the damage natural elements. my causes them 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 only shot in 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 think 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'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, with a 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 their cradle to cradle app. 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 noble, so fi griffon's, father michel brown, got and his colleague william mcdonough 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 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 crate a to create a manner. this flooring you can see if i move, i can actually take it with me for quite cool that you don't need to do this. it is made out from the packing material luling as an a credit crate. 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 glued. and you can bring it back to the company and they can recycle it and make it totally new. carpet out of lovers 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 inclusive and you don't need actually to change it a lot. so called them tune balls are basically dead sea grass that could be collected on shores and used as a high quality insulation material. all 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, 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 would 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 jets, the plaster on concrete uncomfortable is wiley, looks good. so if, if it's the purpose 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 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 nora sophie griffon. though we need the market,

we need the politicians and we need their society 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 credit credit can show the solution how 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. let us right crease the l mile of people have long relied on fishing, but that is becoming increasingly difficult. the entire community is under threat.

we paid them our 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 province . born in 1958, lena pierre, has watched his culture slowly disappear over the years due to migration into marriage. and more recently climate change. and now the elmore law are losing their land and sacred sites to rising water levels and liked o'connor, have engulfed roughly 800 square kilometers of land. over the course of a decade. enlarging the lake by 10 percent. margot renew my venerable buggered in in the past and there wasn't any water here and it didn't reach this far like in in now the water has completely flooded our village or there used to be roads here like the yo,

but now there is only water everywhere you look that most of our many cars were just swallowed up. my dear. ringback wave totally disappeared by me. my mother and i were dog, big. 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 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 line appear 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 rather than 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, but now lena, pears, grand daughter, florence, and many of her schoolmates can only get there by boat. gazillion id, you a low grade in the past, we could walk to school who had leg colleges is 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 there the to, to were gay, disable and elk literally a banging, vain, and often overlooked side effects of global warming as school disruption. it threatened and spoke the physical safety and psycho social well being of students

and teachers. richard smart on as the had teacher at almo 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 about maverick lives than the climate change is threatening the existence of the m. o tribe. because we fully depend on the lake from fluids over my says a legal, we don't have fish, we suffer in a, we're one, but 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 woman and that only is part of the really doesn't merge right. but so at the water, my little didn't cover. we'll join our existing fresh drinking water yet to be really uh huh. for the rama delayed that will now millennia glinda fresh water. but

the l malo 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 ren 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. it renews the level of water that is going to lake to corner us where us it will news there, a lotion that he's also hoarsely took on. and when that one is done, i think the level of water we can use because less water is going to the league. the l molo community hasn't yet decided on any major course of action level

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 her career in medicine, but now she fares, her dream may fade because if the changes brought on by the climate crisis allows quite so ma'am, i fear for my future because of the schools end up under water. dear. i won't be able to get an education, vocal gasoline whenever they're thus away, 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 to day. we hope you the scoreboards 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

augusta 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. ah, with, [000:00:00;00]

with you. ah. not just another day. so much is happening all at once. we

take time to understand this is the day an in depth look at the current news events analyzed by experts and critical thinkers. this is with, oh, d, w ah, ah. oh no, no. can they get a whole harvesters or immigrants dollar like if they come in, everything you enjoy eating at home with your family,

was harvested by people who are being exploited. then i guess from vienna we're going to need dora. we can keep doing what we're doing, that we need to become as sustainable as possible, maybe. and that's why you agree, revolutionaries, it's absolutely necessary. euro revealed the future thing determine now our documentary series will show you how people, companies and countries are we thinking everything that's making later changes with women on work about if a massive cyber attack or something like that happens and we can reboot our country from the outside by a, it's our future after all, and if we don't do something, our children won't be able to enjoy fresh air with. no one is gonna have your 3 beard this week. and d,
