when i filled. i feel like them to step up and say the truth. i am a young woman. i don't exactly look good part of a farmer and a lot of elders would not want to listen to a young woman because they've had so much experience as a male dominated industry. there's not many young women who are actually interested in agriculture edlio and i wanted to kind of look closer and our food systems and our agricultural systems because i knew that

there was ample opportunity for innovation and for change. i come from a family of farmers on my dad's side. he took pride in growing his own ingredients and produce and those were the traits that i was raised with. ah, i'm louisa buelo and the founder of the cow project. and i live in medina store in the philippines. the philippines is one of the most at risk countries to hazards brought about by climate change. and we are at the front lines of the climate crisis through typhoons and droughts and natural disasters. farmers are one of the most vulnerable populations of that, which is why i realized that as i was building this venture, it was inevitable that we had to bring in environmentalism stewardship and our climate education into this kind of work.

that i really like, ah, everyone is sort of selling online. so i thought why not? i start something online. my name is omar. i am the founder of a shoe local brand name, a missouri, and from indonesia. and i'm also writing a book called in my own shoes. mm. straight after i get married and started business. about a year later, i have a baby, her name is i'm ins out by the way. after 7 years, i had a divorce which came and play huge part of my life. because at the moment i was really in the dark and you know what happened to entrepreneurs when they have personal struggle, everything crumbles. and that's why i'm in 2019. we decided that we have to close m as that, i filed bankruptcy and

i am counting on my boat become to ania, google, tom and gunner running low tom harkin. yeah, the young way more larry group hard to find last time i get one didn't have one kid what a cook fema will our and he like padilla. hello. hi. give me more about mat under get me at home again. mm hm. one. and he made tom awhile. oh mean up on the 19 api, topical along the left and the union only. and you were dom elaina that on and coming me i my toiler. not on the lawn. little egg. mm. i love be couldn't gumby could double mind when little. ha, ha ha ha my been see how because a lot of it. but in my, the past, the deadening ever my property, my little

a noon when the bankruptcy happen, the company was not very good decision at the moment financially. um we went to price war, we offers too much discount and months after months we didn't make profitability. so hot brokenly, we had to close down the business from that moment and i realized that it is crucial for entrepreneurs to be able to read numbers of their own business so that they can make analyses according to facts and data. ah, the social media plays a huge part of my life. i had nothing to lose. i already lost the business. so i

thought, why not just was it? is it? it's and, and it was very grateful because i touch m many other hearts out there who felt also that, oh my god, i'm not alone. i also brought the same way. ah . and december of 2016, our tongue was hit by super typhoon not 10. and it destroyed about 80 percent of agriculture livelihoods in agricultural land, in my town alone, and displaced over a 1000 families. so we knew that after that type, when we needed a way to rebuild and our create better type when resiliency wall it started as a typhoon, relief after our we give away ceilings and vegetable seas to rebuild their their agricultural lives. good. but then we realized that it was just kind of

a bandaid response and we needed to actually position them better for the long term . so that was when we realized that co cobra was a pretty good crap because it was already better suited to our ecosystems. ah, you know, as we were going along with it, i realize that there are a lot of things that i can integrate into regenerative agriculture from sustainable farming practices that came from our elders. so it became more of a collaborative effort to move forward and rethink our food systems in. ah, i created this community for medical, my li, meaning timing back. surprisingly, i found so many of other entrepreneurs who are not able to even read their own personal financial statement, let alone having financials,

didn't my publisher call me to wrote a book about starting a business and growing it and being successful after um, you know, experiencing failures i felt strongly that having the courage to leave it as yourself, as i call it, in your own shoes, is very important because that is the only way that you can be the best fortune of yourself. not. you know what other people expect you to be or to do, and that is the only way that you can give meaningful impact for other people. to load have a body either ballasa collected on the whole item, toiler you over to talk about the titles. oh, the laboratory. hard boiler in either parts of hampton, while only whiting dina. i think while may wine. i do any. why don't i allow you?

why do dealer by that? by? hey, move out. i'm kind of in your life. i need my kilowatt die. let them, i'm not on the diamond when me and i but to me to see had to call looked up my kid . why? my dad, what am i allowed to down with equally, wiley? he, my mother kinda coming back off. i me, they call you that. my god, i'm with local me gonna die in my, my toner. oh. here in the philippines, there's a stigma against farming where people perceive it to be associated to poverty on justine ability and failure, which is quite terrible with it's really

important to change the stigma so that more young people can get into farming because our average age of farmers is that around 57 years old there's a lot of is that isn't strictly what people perceive as the stereotype of just pointing out in the sun. there's always a lot more aspects to it that can be integrated from just sticks from science to mathematics. young people can actually make a change and innovate and positively impact communities along the way. and i think that you just have to start small and start now and start local. mm hm.
