coffee, drinkers tend to pay a lot, but the growers get very little to lativia. people producing it harms the environment. unconventional cultivation isn't the only problem. the fastest way to get organic is to cut down a virgin forest and, and play coffee and it will just go crazy and then just vice huge piles of organic waste remain. so this is a super fit that right now is going to waste the beans off and travel halfway across the world. could this plant be grown more locally in germany? jesus field will be coffee. this plant has a future. it's time to take a hard look at how we consume and produce coffee. is there another way? ah

look at 1700 meters in the honduran highlands. the beat vinitez is reaping the fruits of his labour kilometers. could bundle lagrano being we only picked the bright red cherries from being pin for his own awkward thumb. we leave the rest to ripen further. yes, him and that his company, ah, here in the hills of santa alaina, the young cathy grow were brave, the son, drought, and market power. his adobe house without electricity has become a nucleus of change. his siblings, parents and grandfather also live here to save the farm. they've had to learn the new methods. davida benitez introduced after studying agriculture. when i, when laura said that of the, i don't know, maybe if he, in honduras,

most farms had been lost. the law, the worst case, all mother ratliff, some communities have left her old ponds behind and cut down forest to plant more coffee. and yes, of course, that's not right. last time we give the many abandoned plantations and fresh clear paths. are evidence of the destruction or conventional certain ground coffee is one leading cause of deforestation. every cup of coffee that's consumed destroys about 5 square centimeters of rain. forest coffee grown in full sun brings the highest yield, which is why nearly half of the acreage and central america has been converted for this type of cultivation. another 25 percent is being converted. daddy benitez does things differently when or a 3rd that of all the mrs or guam,

a tree with out of these trees provide shade and on which the soil with organic material material gun he grows as plants in the shade of the forest canopy. cafe northeast, that the coffee is less stressed by the san lama. lucille and the plant ripens. a bit slower yet, but the quality is higher than i see on buffer. metal also shaded coffee plans don't need heavy irrigation. full sun cultivation however, requires enormous amounts of water as does the industrial processing of the beans. producing just one cup of coffee require is about 140 leaders of water. a kilogram of coffee requires 21000 leaders that could just about phyllis swimming pool. after cocoa coffee is among the food stamps with the highest water consumption doesn't

vinitez doesn't waste a drop. the lower kimmie my other battery gal. i wanted the coffee in a barrel bought on. hello, then i mix some of the water into the compost. the rest i used to water the farm. the la maya contains lots of nutrients from the cherry pulp. hello, lee. yea, again, with that and when the beat vinitez switched to where again, growing his father was skeptical, but not any more ever for lucille. this is the answer to from faith, but of the vietnam iran sisters. he lived this way for thousands of years. yet with that comma k, how could the big corporation say we can't survive without conventional agriculture? committee or not? no, i'm a b. i. so dyllis i'll, as dante thought the santa is we used to use a lot of fertilizers, fungicides, insecticides, everything. the transnational corporations gave us from the out of dealing solar when we 1st switched organic farming production dropped 50 or 60 percent. boeing.

garfield st. when burnett stabilize and is now on the upswing, believe it on their own, went on the per implant every year. little by little or coffee harvest increases or pell mell unlike before, where we'd have a good yield one year and a bad one. the next yazzy and daniel ala pocketbook shall davi vinitez, wants to achieve even more. he striving to convince other coffee farmers in the region of this method. oh, here 2 in south western germany pioneering work is happening. i if he has he vis here it looks pretty desolate, a bunch of thistles and here are edge. they made a. this is amber, it's due to the weather over there, but we don't spray so we have to put up with the weeds. liam kern among the undergrowth grows their most valuable crop.

i mean that unless you when he hear that rattling inside the hod. yeah. then it's dry enough to thrash. is a scorpion, some brazen, ellis, in flits, cline, have developed the regional alternative to coffee there. finally, having a break through many years and the making for among have shown 6 and my lead are making live in coffee for 26 years now, not guns another, but the generation back then said no thanks. we can afford real coffee now on the floor. today's generation says, no, we want to ensure a healthy climate size coffee produce to conventional cultivation travels thousands of kilometer is to reach germany. growing lou pins in germany saves a lot of seo to emissions and transport. and it improves the local soil. di lupina lubin has a very long tap roots and therefore can draw it from noise sources than usual. they

stretch down about 5 meters, me to where there's water even in these dry summers is over. done often isn't hawkins on. it's really a plan for the future, especially in terms of the climate, so called floods. if i'm, if this wasn't such an issue back when the klein's 1st, we discovered this dynamic flowering, ligim pleasing denied her theory auto body until the 19 sixty's dupont was the protein crop in northern germany. depending if we are embodied in my white, according to the event with cheap saw imports, it was forgotten recently shock with rob ish or shorter bixler thornton. i'm how i was able to help bring it back down and i'm happy that i could talk about offers that he thought was torn cotton ah, that lines were also keen to experiment. the 1st tried roasting them in

a pan rushed on vicinity, pop smells a bit like popcorn, most commonly bondage to eve. the original idea was to megan, a type of toford. i wish was arguing with her. i would like to enthusiastic because i thought it might go bad fairly quickly as us flight of a letter finished word and who would buy it done of, carved for ice here this years ago. toes who wasn't so in like it is today. that's why we then experimented with roasting coffee from it, because even then everyone drank coffee to celebrate the good harvest. that lines are serving homemade cake made with lupin flour, along with their kathy free coffee alternative latino. they're also planning to launch a new lupin product by the end of the year. it's

a big day in st. helena. the copy harvest is being brought to the roster. low bow unloads coffee from the ve benitez and other small holders. lowell powell is from the u. s and his wife myra arianna powell is from this area together. they founded the contract community the initiative sells this regional organic coffee in the united states. they then use the profits to support environmental and social projects and honduras urgent care traders. not enough farmers are not getting ahead. so is it, is it better than nothing? yeah, but is it enough? no, because he doesn't have any disposable income for me was coffee is about, is the people behind in, if we need to treat people with respect. and so sometimes giving people respect,

explain more for, for their normal power. was a prosecutor at u. s. immigration for 12 years, he knows the fates awaiting those who have to give up their coffee plantations and emigrate. i left my job. i just didn't like prosecuting people. right? wasn't, uh, you know, you rather be around people helping them here. i still feel like i'm a lawyer, but the other kind of lawyer, there's a problem. my job is to fix it. with a contract initiative, the couple promotes more humane and sustainable production. they also support further education programs and fair wages. we don't have to be increasing our earnings by 10 percent, 20 percent a year winding, i earn 5 percent and then leave 15 percent with people that actually make it happen

. so i think it is greedy that is taking us to destruction because they were not taking care of the environment. would not they can go, especially people i don't think is is some thing impossible. i think we need to support people like that. the level powell collect the harvests from the initiative . small farmers. what he sees during his trips to other plantations worries him toy mando acute t. m. a think that everyone who used to have traditional farms with good coffee varieties and lots of shade trees, e con. but then many started switching to conventional cultivation to ramp up production. dear bench, and that's the wrong way. proxy on a month, i mean, a put ales along with each benita ask the initiative, wants to show the farmers that there is a better way. it may not turn

a quick profit, but it sustainable with laurie ventura took over the family farm. she's had to rebuild it every month i had, i mean foster, my husband used to do everything. now for 4 years, it's been just me. her husband abandoned the plantation because of a nasty breast fungus. look at melissa impetus. i'm larry thrust fungus hits. sometimes the fruit doesn't ripen and recount harvest would have thought of it one year. it's a good harvest line, you know, and the next year there is nothing a full moon full sun, cultivation and climate change weaken the plants,

paving the way for the destructive fungus to spread rapidly across central america . since 2012, its been destroying the livelihoods of thousands of coffee farmers, including that of glory as husband who emigrated with her 6 children to the us for work. many thousands of farmers from central america attempt to that same trek every year. if they make it into the us, they usually take on unskilled labor and send their hard earned money back home to their families. of santa alaina's, 14000 residence, 2000 left their homes for the us last year. david benitez wants to show those who remain how to build resilient farms. the gothic with our bower formed on coffee grown and shade, is less susceptible to rusty hunger. a step by step, the farmer should make the transition to shaded cultivation on one professor. but

as you see all together, they draw up a plan that will help gloria ventura. increase her yield. yes, i'm sorry. i had a bullet lawyer, complaint trees all along the banks of the creature and that our motto, malaria, this will increase the humidity in the area and micro organisms and warms will do their work. and if at all, gloria ventura is among the, these small holders who have joined to the petrov community, they benefit from its sale system. my area of bulloch atlantic is i got to play most coffee, rowers need to take out loans and what their own goes to pay the mos in the south know in there most of the stuff was katasha in the hotels, but it but i'm unless we harvest enjoy the beans and so directly they asked, i, yeah, i mean the effect and we make more profit as i yield the name of my benefit. the

coffee market fluctuate greatly in the last 4 years, the farmers burned on average, less than one euro per pound. fair trade brings in roughly one year old $0.30 through the cut russia initiative, they earn almost double that but better pay is not the only perch levied benitez and the contract initiative have even more ideas to benefit coffee growers. i with the changes also afoot in nicaragua, carol whitmeyer has traveled from the u. s. for this pile of waste. this is the cascade on the left over that we hope one day this pile will completely disappear. so this is a super food that right now is going to waste. and if we can turn that into

nutritious food, that's the goal. carol whitmire has come to nicaragua for the coffee, cherry start up. this is our 1st visit to the facility where this, suppose it waste is being turned into a high quality product. all of that coffee. we're still a startup, we're still small. and one of our biggest challenges has been educating both consumers and companies who can buy this as a wholesale ingredient. we're creating a whole new market for them. you can smell the coffee with the coffee supplied by the farmers is pitted here by machine, then it sorted washed and dried. ah, the industry is focused on the coffee bean. but the cherry encasing it makes up 40

percent of the frauds weight. $322000000.00 tons per year of pulp are discarded worldwide. it's a major environmental problem. the heaps of rotting fruit, release methane, acidify, the soil and contaminate to water. the facility manager shows carol whitmeyer, how the team processes the coffee cherries are useful. a liquid form, the coffee flour team, a all they transport the cherries to the trying area. i say a lot africa fanfare and they catch the fruit skins before they're fallen to the bucket under discarded with one of the saves the skin for, for the processing. just got an idea of this is carol wed myers company in the us produces flour and flakes from the dried fruit. it's got the dried fruit dose and all of the sensory ve roller that

we look for in coffee, cherry farmers have not been paid for that. before now we will pay them for that. so it is new income 80 workers have been hired for the business here. flower and flakes are already on the market in north america. recently, coffee cherries, or also approved in germany. all of this is available to be sent to europe. this is all available now, but it's not only in the major export countries that coffee cherries are being reconsidered as an ingredient. let's go get to go see the 1st cherry begging carol when meyer wants to learn about the work and see the fresh fruit up close for the 1st time. i finally get to taste it.

it's got this wonderful sweetness to it. those take amazing various types of coffee, gro, on this organic plantation and nicaragua, until now, local residents didn't consider the yellow and red cherries suitable for consumption time for some experimentation in the canteen, where 3 meals are prepared daily for the farms employees. so how many tortillas do you serve a day? walk with almost 1500 or t as for this, all people for permanent workers. yeah. they're testing out how dried coffee cherries taste in traditional tortillas. the new ingredient could offer some extra nutritional value. in addition to caffeine, the coffee cherry contains a lot of anti oxidants minerals and protein,

and it's more than 50 per cent fiber. a pharmacy manager is excited about the new product. this is a really good idea for him. vitamin 2 addresses so much farmers full time, they drove on the river stool yet and many is frequent. i mean it but how does it taste? here comes the moment of truth from my offer days. i feel like a fruits later with 340. i like more, you know, in the us some restaurants and bakeries have already begun incorporating coffee cherry, flour into their menus. a ah chess. jason wilson shows off which dishes utilized the ingredient and his upscale

restaurant. he's been working with a startup from the outset, and is constantly developing new recipes. we did the okay, we did some madeline's, we made some chocolate cakes that i worked with this. i feel like tirelessly to figure out the water replacement ratios are different recipes. because this is fruit powder essentially m it's a very high fiber fruit, as wells with jason wilson wants to sell this crunchy granola with coffee cherry flour in supermarkets with dab eat. benitez has many ideas on how to revolutionize coffee, growing in his home country, all while inspiring other brow bowers on the contract cooperatives farm. he's devoting himself to his latest project. a teaching garden i from were growing more

than 100 plant species. here. we're telling people that you just grown a small space and grow a diversity, and this is the same thing that davina is doing and their mouth watch her is in his movie or something that the simone agriculture. if thermal def, in the, in the let him. yeah. girl, yes, we're sharing our knowledge with the community on how to go native seeds dance and avoid using pesticides that harm the environment gender upon samantha hung up on us . and so these are things that farmers can apply at their own houses. so our hope is when people come here, you like, oh, i can do that. david vinitez combines the knowledge of his indigenous ancestors with the insights of modern agriculture. he knows how vital it is to use every part of the coffee plant and waste nothing. till you'll adam home beneficial. if we take

our coffee to a mill, the fruits guns are discarded. battles in lab when we picked the coffee ourselves, we can turn the fruit skins in a fertilizer in order to let him up. we'll catch it by young farmer from the neighbourhood is curious to hacking and now we add micro organisms unable to let every 30 days sometimes 2 or 3 times know depending on got a little get got it. this is a great fertilizer which we use for vegetables coffee but for all crops. but it got big, but i thought of the deals alongside coffee. he's planting fruits, vegetables, herbs, beans, and corn on his families to hector's. more mixed cultivation strengthens the plants and provides his family with something extra. mm. let me holler at the best rebellion is to produce what you consume. so you don't have to depend on the trans national companies. against the odds davita vinitez has managed

to drive as a small farmer in honduras. ah, ah, he's also introducing new methods to others and sharing his knowledge. ah, ah, the young coffee farmer is determined to stay in his home then. ah ah, he may wipe and i don't know, but i found you in the way if i went, for example, to the u. s. i mean, i would on dollars of course mondo like fame yet a thing, but the money had sent back here will go straight to buying food thing. now that makes no sense because in order to see him, little gama question is instead we produce what we consume and eat what we produce

. that's the best welfare is on the holiday. jessica analysis aneurism. the nettle, not one of our dreams is to have a farm school where growers can come here and learn about what we do. i can offer a sale a man who inspires others and shoes. when it comes to coffee, there is another way. ah ah, ah ah ah

ah, ah ah ah! with who is our waist get him flush all the way to the arctic circle? ah, that's exactly the question of filmmaker from dresden. it wants to insert. he builds loading tracking devices and releases them into the elbow river. where will the
