i will train you can choose to go back or somewhere else. currently, more people than ever are on the move worldwide in search of a better life. so why do i want to go back to nigeria like i don't have any reason school, but there's no reason that's moving for me that yeah, believe something great is coming very, very so. and yeah, come with you more about law, we're least story in for my green reliable news. how my grants, wherever they may be a ah a do you know the thing is tell me what you eat and i would turn you what you are. food is as they should to all survival, the weight comes from is starting to much more than ever before. food production is

responsible for more than 40 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. well, welcome to a new edition of equal africa. i and sandra to we know video here in comp, paula, uganda, and walk home from me to chris alone in oakland state law. jerry. the gases sandra mentioned have many sources. cows produce methane while our fields really is nitrous oxide. in this week's edition of a co africa show, we look at ways to reduce the volume of greenhouse gases. and here's what else is coming up. in ghana, we visit a women's compression make and meet some students from soil in ivory coast. woo! see how old gun farming is being promoted? and in kenya, we meet on my side woman, dedicated to environmental protection. way now we know our planets resources are

finite, but what might that mean for the small communities? shoot, a forest be counted for firewood or left as a harvard for biodiversity. in guinea. they have devised a fun and effective way of helping them. local leaders decide if we put people here, how we lit, affect life in the forest. this strategy board game allows players to address issues related to their environment in an innovative unrest from way. and in today's session, public officials in corner cri are standing in for villages in rural guinea. a french environmental company and a swiss organization are behind the project. what we want to and explore when playing the game is how can we as a village and community as her individual family widows only collaboration with our

other and mich members? how can we, with our decisions, where to shape the development of our landscape around our village, and also how do we continued to do the natural resources and there, and there preservation or also their destruction. the game is part of an initiative that aims to promote more sustainable forest management in rural communities known as the water tower of west africa. because it is the source of several regional rivers. the foot jalyn highlands are suffering badly as a result of human activities. when parts of the area are protected, deforestation is still a serious problem. here, as is the poaching of animals like chip on these to address these and other issues. the annual kate, i shared the game with 3 communities to day, ease in pillow. cora dunker fatima blackboard. the game board depicts the village

and its surroundings as much player represents one family growth within the community. we have the bodies, the sows, the dallas, and the very family are low enough on the body. yes, it done law for air. in addition, there's a forest with its resources and wildlife you more. and we have fallow lands which are typical and found to john and i read that and there are also hunters you got it was you would have it, it is a ship. the central focus of the game is to determine ways to manage resources sustainably. and in harmony with nature, each round represents one crop year. over several rounds. the families have to decide individually or to jointly where to planned what to buy, and how best to invest their limited resources in order to manage their land, sustainably, alpha, dear lord, things the game has already had a positive influence on local thinking. i only had a,

a game as it helped us to see how to improve the way we can manage our territory, african cohabitate with lot animals than an protect the forest at our economy. that i hate yield vehicle learning at the end of the session. d'angelo and his name was to review their results and discuss future plans. the want to replant the forested area with fruit trees and use follow land more sustainably. they've also proposed concrete agreements between villages and the local officials. car said i can, we had our man, we decided to agree on conserving the forest ready for you not to plant crocks along the waterways and to reforest this area all the way to the hill of city. and the thing under the people of pillow could have recognized the benefits of nature conservation, and we'll use what they've learned to determine better, more sustainable started is going forward after the success of its initial reception. the game is now set to be introduced in many other communities to what

do you want to know and that how does really love to trail that game? it's all about practice relevant theory. it is best on the idea that to really understand something you need to get a handle on needs quite literally and advance exactly what an initiative in ivory coast as that old to do to give a variance of feel for the benefits of organic farming. here is a base weeks doing give it ah ah, organic fruits and vegetables as well as other organic products and not widely available in ivory coast. as a result, consumer awareness is also quite low to build up interest and increase accessibility. in i've oregon, n g o has organized an organic fair on the outskirts of other jobs here,

and the dahlia flow nature reserve visitors can meet and talk to organize producers goal rank, are we want consumers to realize that this sector is already quite activated? is, will there be keepers vegetable farmers and people who grow organic cocoa even if it's for export view. mm hm. cc 4 leaks both are so so if you have chronic methods are already being practiced and consumers are often surprised to hear that warsaw can do that. cancer visitors can also learn a few practical skills while they're here, like how to build their own mini wind turbine from scrap words, or how to plant tomatoes or letter seedlings for their own organic garden. over the last 3 years, the host association has managed to build up a network of organic farmers and producers. and now we're group of organizations is banding together to introduce the certification label for gannet goods produced in

ivory coast. oh, and how about you? if you are also doing your bid, tell us about it, visit our website, or send us or tweet hash tag doing your bit. we share your stories. organic vegetables are great, but for balance diet we also need protein. the most popular source for that is mit, but as recent studies, sure meet consumption and the climate crises are closely connected. does right, sandra, but price can also be a factor, which is another reason why more and more people are embracing alternatives in both europe and africa. annex report comes from gonna this infant is

being treated as a clinic in the northern gonna and city of tamala. often in this rural region, the diagnosis is on deficiency anemia. the result of an unbalanced diet start in the room. felicia j done so is a nutritionist she gives pregnant women and young mothers advice on how to give their children a financial diet on a low budget for if we want to single out and legume that to help us achieve the good ions they took in pregnant to man insured and then it's so you have been because it provides almost equal amounts as the eye on that and muscles protests will give us. saw out say that's so yeah, been it's a golden crop that we can youth one alternative a very valuable alternative in the fight against malnutrition and one that mary r lee law also champions. likewise, a nutritional expert, she runs

a women's initiative in tamala that produces saudi based foods. first stages, separate in this tool from this 3 abbey. so we've cleaned it and then it has to. so for me be 4 to 5 minutes. then we can now grind it into pieces. the soil paste is then strained to produce soy milk, which is in turn, boiled to extract the protein. the craig related milk is then squeezed, free of liquid under a heavy weight to produce toford, which mary ali la loads into a deep fryer. finally, she has a variety of spices and make the resulting feel about an appetizing prospect with children to my client. her caregiver's ladders which so and then 6 months, green family members solves indigo drought. so are we good house to house, sell in all in group programs?

me. i mean display our product in south schools. people, veteran i, mary ali la gets her soybeans from local farmers. the plant itself can still be successfully cultivated here, despite the extreme climatic conditions that often frequent northern garner. this area is part of the guinea forest, savannah, or relatively dry eco region. it's been fin the impact of climate change with floods during the rainy season and extreme droughts in the dryer months. and last in the morning patina agreed dan, coming marginalising, potential fertility and productivity. so farmers unknown relying on streaming because they're able to produce it. you sure, i mean minimize resources and also to productivities high and also it's helped to replenish soil for to the fact that the less positive side to saw being grown in the region, the opportunity to make a quick profit has seen

a growing number of farmers focusing on the plant, while abandoning the more traditional crops like mays and millet. meanwhile, the major c o 2 reservoirs and the reason for them vegetation not being lost as trees, are clear to make weight the soybean farming. plus most of the harvest is used to feed livestock, and an increase in the counter population means an increase in methane production. meeting is one of the greenhouse gases with high global warming potential. so this in nexus written are quite a production in climate change. so you could actually help the climate if used in the right way as a widely consumed meet substitute. so marty jacobo, regularly features soy in the mail she makes for her grandchildren who were rarely served meat i no longer dig. well, it's cheap compared to annual, meet my law. we can't buy beef because we can't afford it. and the lawyer need

helps his to cook house. he meals the, gone a on or thirties, want to see a further expansion of soybean farming in the northern region. the women's cooperative run by marry a li law or shows the promising demand for meet substitutes made from the vin. and if more people follow that example, the climate will also be grateful. and now from soil to rice is a staple of africa who said around $20000000.00 tons of the green are cultivated in africa each year. yet that still not enough to meet demand. so many countries rely on in ports. but as global markets shift, selleger is looking to cover all its rice needs domestically. the rice harvest is in full swing and the women who work the fields around dac village in central senegal, have

a big goal in sight for their community. like building your umbrella, we go, if we continue to produce this amount of rise each year we can do without imports. then your book right now that's our main objective is omar. leave is local. rice is also healthier, more and taste better than imported rice val, near am. despite the good organic growing conditions, cynical, imports around 900000 tons of rice a year from india. but last fall india band, the export of cheaper broken rice and put a 20 percent export tax on other varieties to help its domestic supply and prices after a drought. so this will lead you food and 8 center goals, rice self sufficiency program. he says dependence on inputs is dangerous. bully, peaky and pot duo. every country that imports rise from india has in what is at risk, which is almost the entire world mule buck. lemme, let's not forget that. india is the biggest exporter of rice worldwide. one cynical,

commonly close enough rice to cover its domestic needs for 9 months. beyond that, it has to rely on impulse government investments ostensibly aimed to make senegal self sufficient in rice by 2015. but many rice farmers think, or sorties haven't taken the necessary action for months and i got they were all needed during the senegalese authorities, only act in theory is our them, they don't really believe in this objective and the label hung up on it is on. if they were committed, now we could reach self sufficiency in 2 years. synagogue mean is i don't, but they've been selling us this dream for decades. been what we have the land and the synagogue river nearby. we have no excuse when you were just bad policies. unit rice farmers need access to land, an extra funding to boost production anathema. the country now has what it needs on the industrial side. for a long time, there were only small scale companies whose end product was often not up to stand

it. the rice factory manager ab says that's changed significantly. we had a new villas in the industry. there are new industrial units here in both small and medium sized comp, which to excellent rise processing. my ex and they're now producing a quality rise, a white rise that can be sold, broken, i find broken or hold is if i it will be my to ivory coast to recently reduced its imports from india by almost 25 percent of these rice farmers here in the heart of senegal, hope to see their country do the same as soon as possible. and now for something entirely different, did you know that your hair could help save wide life? we've all seen horrible images of dead sea birds in the aftermath of an oil spill. our, what does that have to do?

we hear you are bar to find out. i will may run on oil, but when it enters our rivers, lakes, or oceans, it causes ecological devastation that is very difficult to reverse. however, a movement launched in response as slowly but surely gaining traction. creating mass made from a renewable readily available and globally accessible resource. human hair is what we did the peach for. we produce her math that are about 60 centimeters square foot parkway. basically 3 layers, felted from one killer of her own, and also a map light that can absorb 7 or 8 liters of hydrocarbon, or oil, or dealer. it does not want a very good for cleaning up oil related to pollution. so be old on turbo depletion . human hair is hydrophobic and bio absorbent, which means it repels water and can collect contaminants like oil,

and it does so quickly. it's also rule material that usually goes to waste. but there are plenty of hair salons willing to donate clippings to make the mats, lesson and massacre. i like it's a shame to see the hair just thrown away to something, especially now that i know it can be put to such good use. copper val fair clenches using hair to clean up contaminated water, is an idea that's been around for decades. as the movement gains momentum produces set up networks with local salons. a surplus of mats means more would be available whenever and wherever they are needed. over the past 50 years, for example, it's estimated that more than 2000000 tons of oil have entered the niger delta. the consequences of a large spill in 2018 are still being felt to day, almost all of those seafoods of gone can't find him again. because of the oil

spear on these as lead to e in liberal poverty, i will use find not, not find the word to describe the ongoing cleanup effort is a desperately lengthy and costly one. it stories like this, that motivated british hairdresser del williams to start making mat from her customers. clippings mats made from her could also reduce reliance on absorbency made from synthetic materials, which likewise pollute the environment. at the moment, i have a few companies trialing, lance. hopefully they will soon order the mats and stop pushing out those polypropylene matter. they're using at the moment, which makes sense since synthetic materials are made from oil themselves and are not biodegradable. that's just one more reason. many environmentally minded people want hair to play

a central role in the effort to clean up contaminated waters all over the world. from europe, back to africa, the continent with the world's youngest population. people here are also most likely to be affected by climate change in their life time. that is right, crease in kenya, drought is already having a huge impact on communities. and that has many people. her son, especially young people, are next report futures. one woman was really found at her own environmental protection organization. oh, and anita so he not is a climate warrior. she's fighting to protect her home armed not with weapons, but with 3 saplings. cajole county south of lee robbie is suffering. it's was drought in 40 years. climate change is taking a heavy toll on the re, john eats,

effects are catastrophic. we depend on past how we depend on water. we depend on all the things that have been affected by climate change. so over time, if we knew what was happening before, not happening now, showed that it keeps getting worse. we keep losing animals, we keep losing almost everything, any know, for every we actually look at animals have our wealth. so we're actually getting portly by day because of climate change. she's witnessed fast hon. the devastation of forest in her home on the border of toms. and now at the same time, drought periods are getting longer. drought has become the new normal, and food and water are increasingly short supply. now you e, i, tati, her 7 children. she's lived here all her life and this is the was job she's ever experienced. thanks to her environmental activism, anita,

selena knows the deputy governor of co jadwin today, the pain now your he of is it bringing her food so she can feed her family for the next few days. in the past, she was able to leave from her kettle, but now there's not enough vegetation for them to graze on as she has to buy any more food. before the drought. now, you e a tati kept 20 cows. now they are only 5 cows and a few goats left in of letty de la, yet it, the difference with the seasons is that there used to be shot and long grains, that many people could plant mays and beans. they could feel their families. but now there's not enough rainfall resulting in long droughts, and we no longer plant crops for human consumption, but we have a shortage of food. people are suffering from severe hunger and animals are immersed, seated, and sold at a throw. are we praise? everything's harder than it is to be what they were born when are feeling. i mean

will flag people, you know, you have to buy food for animals. you have to take care of them. they've know enough water and all that. so they've been, thor, much are happening. that is actually very, very painful. come to think of it live up, people who have contributed almost nothing to climate change but or on the receiving end of the impulse me i meter sign of found it and the mental protection organization called the ice warriors as part of their walk. the activists have planted 5000 mostly indigenous trees. according to a canyon forest service part, the country's forest cover increase from 6 percent in 2018 to nearly 9 percent in 2021. but before a titian remains a serious problem, in case we need to trace to actually cover

we need to clean our options to cover things. so just like we need something to, to help clean what we have already released anita sign. her also works closely with the local government to raise awareness of mental concerns among local and she even went into politics herself to ensure environmental was a met. okay. maybe she spent the summer campaigning in the villages as a member of the green thinking auction politic. the reason i went for elementary seat is because it's selfish. it says that if i go to parliament and possible, it will help or it will also speak for someone who's not in my constituents. and it's also where most critical issues and bills can be passed and that is what i tend to do. i need to find i didn't manage to secure a seat, but she remains unbeatable. but she'll continue trunk and revel mental causes and low being politicians. and she is well aware that environmental protection isn't

only a priority. and now i'm a chinese, norfolk to other country is going to add to the quick of call or a call to action, which i think that's the little hope remaining. for some of us, we are waiting to see what these countries will do. and i believe these we can still do something if we can meet. so when the finance of that we are financing fossil fuels, we can transfer the financing and finance. what are we can in ino in moving from or for your 1st to fossil free? anita selina is contributing to that transition by planting trees and ensuring our green of future for king young. what an impressive run inspiring woman. and that brings us to the end of to this show. we hope you enjoyed it and that you join us again next week to obey and i am chris alarms, signing off from a go state nigeria. and before i think good bye, here is a quick reminder that you can stay in touch with us through our social media

channels. take care and a fee soon from sandra. tween over here in com, paula, uganda. ah, a deal with
