became available and we got on it. so feeling very fortunate after to coloma to walk past the blockages to the nearest town, reachable by road vehicles were waiting to take taurus on to cosco and its international airport. but while that old deal may be over, authorities estimate peruse tourism industry has already taken a multi 1000000 euro hit. it was cdw news from berlin up next. good coffee. the be the best of the bean looks as innovative ways of going coffee. and the benefits for both the environment and for statement in eco is in germany to learn german lodge, benita, why not learn with him online, on your mobile and free chest? fidel is e learning course, nikos vague. mm

hm. ah, ah, it's germany's favorite drink. and after crude oil, it's the world's most traded commodity. coffee makes many traitors, and roster is rich, but growers stay poor. many are forced to give up their plantations. can tell my

coffee coffee drinkers tend to pay a lot, but the growers get very little military vehicle producing it harms the environment . unconventional cultivation isn't the only problem. the fastest way to get organic is to cut down aversion forest and then play coffee. and it was just go crazy and then just ah, huge piles of organic waste remain. so this is a super for 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? these is papers field will be coffee as 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.

you look at 1700 meters in the honduran highlands. the viet vinitez is reaping the fruits of his labor kilometers could bundle for granted being. we only picked the bright red cherries from the pin for his unlocked thumb. we leave the rest to ripen further and get him out. and i discussed with here in the hills of santa alaina, the young coffee grow were brave, the sun, 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. david vinitez introduced after studying agriculture. when i,

when laura said that the, i don't know, maybe if he, in honduras, most farms had been lost. a lot of the worst case on martha relas, 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 get the many abandoned plantations and fresh, clear cuts are evidence of the destruction or conventional sun 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 vinitez does things differently when or is that about? this is a guam, a tree for thought of these trees provide shade and on which the soil with organic material along a material valley. he grows as plants in the shade of the forest canopy. cafe northeast that the copy is less stressed by the sun. lemme without feeling the plan ripens a bit slower than that, but the quality is higher, but i see on buffer metal also shaded coffee plants don't need heavy irrigation fulsome 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 stuffs with the highest water consumption doesn't benitez doesn't waste a drop. the lower give me my battery and look out i wanted the coffee in a barrel bought on villa, then i mix some of the water into the compost. the rest i used to water the farm, bella. my it contains lots of nutrients from the cherry pulp, cielo lee. yea. again with that and when the beat vinitez switched to where again, growing his father was skeptical, but not any more ever. so 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? i'm a b. i. so dallas, i'll, as dante, sort of daily 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 boa casio, st. when berlin at stabilize and is now on the upswing, hill, you it under your own, went on the plan every year. little by little are coffee, harvest increases m l like before, where we'd have a good yield one year and a bad one. the next? yes, he and daniel, at a book, a book shelf davi vinitez wants to achieve even more. he striving to convince other coffee farmers in the region of this method. oh, here too. in south western germany, pioneering work is happening. i. if he has he vis here it looks pretty desolate. a bunch of thistles and hair 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 wonder that unless you when he hear that rattling inside the hod yeah, then it's dry enough to thrash. is us talking? some brazen. ellis in flits, klein have developed the regional alternative to coffee. they're finally having a break through many years and the making for long had shown 6 and 5 lead are making live in coffee for 26 years now, not guns. another me, but the generation back then said no thanks. we can afford real coffee. now on the so 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 missions in transport. and it improves the local soil, di lupina lubin has a very long tap roots and therefore can draw from those sources than usual. they

stretch down about 5 meters, me to where there's water even in these drawing. some houses over and done often isn't hawkins on it's really a plan for the future. especially in terms of the climate talk of langford, i'm in this wasn't such an issue back when the klein's 1st. we discovered this dynamic flowering ligim busy the night for a figure out a bottle of 19 sixty's. dupont was the protein crop in northern germany, depending if oil embody my white according to prevent, with cheap saw imports. it was forgotten. recently shock with in rob is shawna, bessler 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 wrists on vicinity. pop smells a bit like popcorn. most personally bonded to edc. the original idea was to megan's type of tofu. i've had this morning for though of i haven't like to enthusiastic because i thought it might go bad fairly quickly. does this flight of election registered and who would buy it on of cove for ice? yes, he is. a guy totally wasn't so in like it is today. why do we then experimented with roasting coffee from it? because even then everyone drank coffee to celebrate the good harvest. the blinds are serving homemade cake made with lupin flour. along with their kathy free coffee alternative, latino, they're also planning to launch a new loop and product by the end of the year.

it's a big day in st alena, the coffee 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 for 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's about is the people behind in, if we need to treat people with respect. and so sometimes giving people respect, he's paying 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, and a great, i left my job. i just didn't like prosecuting people. right, wasn't, 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. why not 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. we're not, they can go, especially people i don't think is is sort of thing impossible. i think we need to support people like that. the level powell collect, the harvests from the initiatives. small farmers gifted what he sees during his trips to other plantations, worries him toy mando a key. and i 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 model coming up. what ails along with each benitez,

the initiative wants to show the farmers that there is a better way. it may not turn a quick profit, but it's sustainable. with laurie ventura took over the family farm. she's had to rebuild it, man, they had, i mean foster, my husband used to do everything. now for 4 years, it's been just me and her husband abandoned the plantation because of a nasty breast found this looking more less empathetic. 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, i know. and the next year there is nothing new. yeah. that a fellow in full, sun,

cultivation and climate change weakened 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 glorious 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 the style bowers armed on coffee, grown and shade, is less susceptible to rusty hunger. step by step,

the farmer should make the transition to shaded cultivation on one professor, but as he feel together they draw up a plan that will help gloria ventura. increase her yield if hillary or had a bullet, gloria, complaint, trees all along the banks of the creature and that i am also malaria. this will increase the humidity in the area and micro organisms and warms will do their work . alive. gloria ventura is among the ab small holders who have joined to the petrov community. they benefit from its sale system . i think my idea of body tanica is like that, but most coffee rowers need to take out loans. and what they earned goes to paying them off, and the thought when they're more about it's different with gotcha in hotels. but i'm a lot we harvest enjoy the beans and sal directly all day after. yeah,

but i mean, the 2nd 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 and roughly one euro $0.30. through the cut, russia initiative, they earn almost double that trip. but better pay is not the only perch levied, benitez and the contractual initiative have even more ideas to benefit coffee growers. pack a with change is also a foot 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, kathy. 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 where you can smell the coffee with the coffee supplied by the farmers is pitted here by machine. then it's 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 wait. $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 the water. the facility manager shows carol with my or how the team processes the coffee cherries are useful. a liquid process, the coffee flour team, a or a transport the cherries to the trying area. a cell at africa panther, the catch the fruit skins before the fall into the bucket, under discarded electric with one of the saves the skin for, for the processing just got on the planet. carol, with my is company in the us, produces flower and flakes from the dried fruit.

it's got the dried fruit dose and all of the sensory, the 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 $80.00 workers have been hired for the business here. flour and flakes are already on the market in north america. recently, coffee cherries were 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 be again. carol whitmeyer wants to learn about the work and see the fresh fruit up close for the 1st time. i finally get

a taste and it's got this wonderful sweetness to it. those taste amazing various types of coffee grow on this organic plantation in 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 almost 1500 tortillas for these all people for the workers. yeah. they're testing out how dried coffee, cherries taste in traditional tortillas. the new ingredient could offer some extra nutrition, no 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 with the farm is manager is excited about the new product. this is a really good idea for him. vitamin 2 addresses so much farmers, fine, they drove on the river stool yet and many a free vacant. i mean it but how does it taste? here comes the moment of truth, gong my offer days. i feel like a fruit slater. with 340, i like both, you know, in the us. some restaurants and bakeries have already begun incorporating coffee cherry flour into their menus with chest. jason wilson shows off which dishes utilize 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 us. i feel like tirelessly to figure out the water replacement ratios are different recipes. because this is fruit powder, essentially with 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 eat. benitez has many ideas on how to revolutionize coffee, growing in his home country, all while inspiring other growers under contract cooperatives farm. he's devoting

himself to his latest project. a teaching garden. a home were growing more than 100 plants species. here. we're telling people that you just grown a small space and grow a diverse e. and this is the same thing that davida is doing and their mouth watcher is seen here. move the asian levy from own agriculture thermal def, in the, in the latin mia kalia. we're sharing our knowledge with the community on how to go native seeds dance and avoid using pesticides that harm the environment. gender cannot see me at the one that, that on that. 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. debbie 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 to kill you out of my own benefit. if we take our coffee to a mill, the fruit skins are discarded. battles, but when we put the coffee ourselves, we can turn the fruit skins and a fertilizer in order to let him, we'll catch the least by young farmer from the neighbourhood is curious to hacking and now we add micro organisms. naval hello every 30 days. sometimes 2 or 3 times now, all depending on go to look at 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 deal alongside coffee. he's planting fruits, vegetables, herbs, beans, and corn on his families to hector's. more mixed cultivation strengthens the plans, provides his stanley with something extra. mm. let me ha, the best rebellion is to produce what you consume. so you don't have to depend on

the transnational companies with against the odds. davita benitez 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 hammer is determined to stay in his home then. ah, ah, he may want but i am not but i found you in the way if i women for example, to the u. s. i would on dollars of course mondo, i gotta fame yet a thing, but the money i had sent back here will go straight to buying food thing. now that

makes no sense because in order to see in montgomery course, we need instead we produce what we consume and eat what we produce. that's the best . well, fair is on the holiday, jessica, on our latonya, and then that will not one of our dreams is to have a farm school where growers can come here and learn about what we do. i cannot set for a family, a man who inspires others and shows when it comes to coffee. there is another way, ah ah ah, with

who? vito india before and after cleaning the water tanks and come on by talk in the block in to make a positive contribution to for the hot box of organizing in man. he comes in as

managed to unite people in the southern indian region because they all care about water. he says he won't stop setting new goals. eco, india. in 15 minutes on d w. how many push a 3rd out in the world right now? the climate change very hot, the story. this is live life the way from just one week. how much work can really get we still have time to go. i'm going all with 5th, his subscriber all morning with like, with a brief, ah, they have body and soul. the houses that daniel leaders can't construct are more than just building. ah,

you have to be radical. that's a radical mean. go back to the room. he is the son of jewish holocaust survivors. how lucky that i was able to build to just present berlin is architecture is a celebration of democracy and one building. the biggest thing in the world is the spirit of an architect of emotions. it starts december 25th on d w with ah, a military coup and mass protest squashed and bloodshed in me and mark.
