wilson, this new deterioration grossman, the end of a superpower. the collapse of the soviet union rushes more in ukraine. one years the invasion began. we take a look back at the 4th and into the future. in the new 1000000, slowing in february on d, w. d. ah, ah ah, welcome to global 3000 strength in numbers. how thousands of volunteers in india, i helping to save local lakes and rivers. dwindling diversity.

how the seed industry is booming at the cost of crop variety. and finding hope how guatemala is trying to turn the tide on its migration crisis. at the end of 2021, one in 5 refugees world wide, came from south and central america. the exit is caused by political crisis, lack of food, collapsing, health care systems, and also corruption and rising crime. they desire destination, the usa and canada, where they're often less than welcome i report from guatemala, looks at initiatives that are hoping to get people a brighter future in their own country. oh, oh ah,

the us border is about 2300 kilometers away. and our fire cock racks would love nothing more than to just keep on riding and leave the hardship of life in guatemala. behind her like half the population of the country, he works in agriculture. extreme weather is increasing the frequency of droughts and floods. farmers are anxious about their future. ah, look at this measly corn. com a they're supposed to be much bigger. ah, these days the harvest is barely enough to even feed his own family with a recent hurricane that havoc in its wake. the damage will have lost in consequences. need you have to dig deep to even find any soil. hello mila. ah! what is it?

that's why nothing grows properly any more. but in the hurricane dropped a thick layer of sand on the field so well, o climate change corruption, violence. he and millions of others in guatemala despair for the countries future. a study shows that $1.00 and $6.00 square marlins emigrate to the us. mcallister mayor, is a social worker. he works with young people, encouraging them to create change. he runs the central key data, which translates as the stay he has center. he teaches classes to help young people find jobs and success in their own country were thought either a new lady up there earlier say good, i meant the quando been, am of the younger generation were better trained. they could find work in their unity for money or even start their own business. it had on mcgraw hill

e bogle used to holland tool for thought skills and potential bowl awful to strengthen their communities and his heroin and the country le bung. again, like on one yet, but are fair could i said if they buy that many young people struggle to even get to a training center on a regular basis, they often have to travel long distances and infrastructure is lacking. that's why easter may i send the teachers into the community. this young man trained as a welder and got a job with his small business. and with laboratory for nomic, i have no idea where might be able to lead a better life and the you are more than that and left a little can. but what's the point? and if your family, your friends and your home, i here is more that are young, i'm not exemplary nettle. but instead of in the home in the central kiddos is thriving. and the project is now expanding its co founded by the guatemalan government and the u. s. and it's one of many projects designed to encourage the

younger generation to remain in the country. it's appears to be working but despite these initiatives, growing numbers of people are turning to crime. villanueva's considered the most dangerous place in the country. gangs control the city which is riddled with corruption. any one who resists must fear for their life. like one sandorval. he was the government, santi corruption, prosecutor until july 2021. but his investigations into former officials, presidents and business leaders, lead to his dismissal. he now lives in exile in washington, dc. i oh, let's see about that. i don't have to pull in power or taking advantage for population that starving my life. one is going to let me look at a population that can barely survive the resource of labor. i know corruption creates the conditions like that. make it impossible for them to earn a living failed. i am not aware of this by several methods. yeah. public schools

are only open full hours a day aid organization blossoming international is trying to help. blossoming knows that teenagers here experienced violence every day. it's workers try to give them hope and teach them that there are alternatives to leaving the country. to day they're making a list of the things that connect them to their home land. and the things they hope to find in the u. s. foreign, like, it'll have your li, when we hear guatemala, we think of violence, hunger danger, and gang slim things. we fear that, that's why so many people want to flee to the u. s. okay, because they're hoping for a good income education, a nice home and money to send home to their family, la garza, when i'm on the li. narrow. so for me, larry, the yeah, the organisation hopes to offer teens an alternative to the pan diaz, the teenage gangs, they work to instill values like education, confidence, and non violence. i finance cl and convinced that it's worth it. that's one reason

to just look at the smiling faces and the dreams they hated it though as the different viewpoint. little funny in so the cookies see all of that in a place where i never know if i'll make it back alive. when i step outside, see yeah, maricel some of those you well, it's good. lemme if we didn't, even if we speak different languages, we're basically all the same. we are human beings. many of us have no prospects. all we want is a chance, you know, a lot of that back to her fine. he's enjoying his evening at home with his wife and 5 daughters. but his oldest daughter is missing. she was smuggled into the u. s. a child with an uncertain future. thousands of kilometers away from her family for many families in guatemala, it's just a part of life. the rhythm of and when my daughter left, i was sad. well, because i wanted to go myself. yeah. okay. but i couldn't afford it or not for

maybe some day. i'll still get my chance to not. i mean we're half i in his family hope that their daughter will one day be allowed to work in the u. s. so that she can send the family money until then he like many guatemalans will continue the struggle to make ends meet. ah oh, planet is home to a wide variety of plants which have adapted to very different environments of the 400000 species. in total, we actually eat just a tiny fraction and half of our food intake is covered by just 3 crocks, corn, rice, and wheat. and the range of plants on our fields is continuing to shrink according to you and estimates in the last century alone. the world lost 75 percent of its

crop diversity. a major reason is the industrialization of agriculture. more than half the global seed market is controlled by just a handful of corporations, and they decide what's grown in our fields and what ends up on our plates. a $1000000000.00 industry at the cost of plant diversity for thousands of years, farmers free bred preserved and shared seats. but then i could culture radically changed. in the 20th century, farmers get new machines, chemicals, and lots me seats. and big companies stepped in. these major players dominate the market to be one of them had a special role in shaping modern agriculture, especially in the us now owned by german, one to national buyer. monsanto was one of the giants of the business to turn seeds into property and farmers into submissive customers to understand how they did it. it's important to know the history. during the vietnam war, one font was one of the largest suppliers of the notorious edge and orange for the

us military. 50000000 leader resolve this definitely herbicide was sprayed to fuel trees and tropical foliage that provided cover for the fighters. not only do this areas remain contaminated, millions have been poisoned by the chemical next month hunter turned their attention to peace time with killing developing the blog. buster hammer site roundup. it hit shells in the $970.00 s and became the company's key. profit driver, ah, random kills the root kills that we round up, kills thanks to its main component. cliff a said, but it ended up killing so well that it also killed farmers crops. so they could only sprayed before planting seats after the harvest. but what if they received that could tolerate round up that home i found a stepped into the sea business in 1996. they rolled up round up ready div receipts. they were genetically modified to be immune to gleeful sate. who wouldn't

buy into that? it was like magic, talked to farmers at that number. marco elmore is an environmental historian at the higher state university to spend a decade working on this book about monsanto. weeds almost immediately began to being resistance around and you kind of have this cycle in this genetically engineered scene system now over using a chemical, which by the way, it's very profitable for the company that selling it. and 100 did something else that changed every culture forever. they patented technology behind the seats. this meant they could dictate the way farmers use them. one sample created a system that they controlled by 2008 months. hunter had bought 50 international seed firms. the market power of mon fontose similar companies was growing more and more today. 90 percent of corn upland cotton employed in from the u. s. a. produce

with patent and seats one find out what the buyer is, the biggest supplier. the big problem is behind genetically engineered crops like those from an santo, higher yield for farmers. but in 2016, the national academy of sciences published a 600 page dozier on the effects of g cross from the us. find is found little evidence that such crops actually lead to higher yields. what has been going on is the use of monsanto supposed to child lisa site to move youth hair besides globally . this to maps of the us show the amount of round up being sprayed on the dark or the colors, the more as being used. meanwhile, what's been going down is the variety of foods on our plates. there are over 50000 edible plans in the world, but we mostly rely on june 15 corn wheat and the rise of the major hits. the modern

agriculture system created this thunder. tis ational for awful companies owning this. you get to choose what pharma girl and how and that determines what we eat, planting the same varieties also makes crops mobile normal to draw in disease. the climate crisis is only making it worse, but it's a different story with traditional feats. if you want to look for something that low rates hash, climatic conditions, especially now that the climate change, you can always go back to be elected. this is the medical den. she's a plan geneticist at the international crops research institute of the same eric tropics. the more different seats we plant, the higher the chances of finding the once the canada up to extreme weather. for example, in just one region and south east india. find is discovered almost $400.00 varieties of neglected crops species. and we've been, we're 6 traditional local rice varieties, the deal better with drought, salty soil and flooding strength compared to commercial turn into luckily,

even when traditional seats are gone from the field, they're not always gone gone. we have them in places like thief, more than $1700.00 c banks around the world for the amp, potential of traditional feats. probably the most famous you bank point is the coolest looking one. is this one in norway. it stores over a 1000006 samples from across the world, and the chill permafrost conditions make sure this little fellows are preserved for centuries. the system works like a bank, the deposit their own samples, the bank, in this case, the government of norway owns the facility. for example, brazil have thousands of super hear some of the seats were rescued only because indigenous communities and traditional farmers kept them there where we go all for has drastically changed. if the large corporations will have benefited at the expense of everyone else, farmers have got hooked on chemicals and last ownership of the seats and consumers miss out on so many flavors and new trends. so it's time to ask herself how come to

grow for better this time to everyone? me more to isn't increasingly scarce. commodity in many parts of india, devaney season is getting shorter, heat wave longer and drought more frequent. much of india now faces a water crisis. but it's not any climate change that's to blame. many lakes and rivers are badly polluted, but help is at hand from now co cleanup operations. here is what it looked like before the clean up and after. and it happened in less than 2 hours. is that our we have had 25 to 30 tug on a whole lot is who have worked with us. got it not be blocking to make a positive contribution to society. i'm willing to fail. the hard part is organizing it. money going down is the founder of the indio co curriculum. that by the gobbler might its volunteers have been distorting what

a body's across glen middle for the past 5 years. and this is how they do it. so a, she's in charge of getting all volunteers to arrive at the scene. a lot of them this really deep mom often wear gloves for the day and time in brooklyn. it's money, gardens job to divide them up into various groups. hello. hello. you are all there, wedding globulin, i'm dyslexia. i to distribute supplies. i am of housing, aggregate, and gopi isn't out of documenting the process group at the very last minute come closer, agony no longer. it all started in 2017 when glen metal was facing of severe shout money. camden was determined to revive one of the cities. dias, water bodies, better. when he produced down the call, it hadn't had sea water for many years, rather than i decided to clean the panel by removing plastics and with an investor visa now mcclare decline. we began cleaning activities on the 12th of february, 2017 maniac. in the 1st week, 50 sure diamond bed,

but in the weeks after 400 people showed a loss of in just a moment while we finished eating the tank or it apart the day. and we don't have a financial or political back. glad that we had volunteers who were ready to work for this. now what i was helping belinda anna mcclendon at it. so we decided to clean up various water bodies every sunday. so far we have been working for 249 consecutive sundays, either medicare no damage done, would have arnold gordon and i do my class. the organization has restored for largely ex 9 small ponds and more. but if you ask money canden, which project was hottest, he'll insist on taking you there before he tells you the story behind it. are you there eloquent? spread across 90 acres, the velo tank is one of claim or those oldest. it's fed by the no loose river for 15 years had remained dry because of 3 major problems that blown the day. there

were lots that in this account here under the knife of water hadn't been law benito to like other people hadn't crossed on 4 and a half of the 6th and a half kilometer long on it. on either side of the river banks and garbage had been dominate into the jack dams, to which this dang receives the water numbered these were the 3 problems might be more pertaining limited in 2017 money. camden and his team began cleaning the tank and it's checked dance. they also played a role in convincing 2 and a half 1000 families, settled along the river banks to relocate to state housing. and then for the 1st time in 17 years, the velo dank was full ah, village is due kilometers, only once locked and reliable water sauce. but just a few months after the reservation was completed, locals noticed an increase in ground water levels because of a little tank could now retain the water it received back in the

you only a bombed if it dream, raphael. if it didn't, i was, he wouldn't farm you boy. under warmer since there is water in the tank for the past 4 years. there's been water in our bay. let me you're good. we use them wouldn't bump out the water for farming rosario wondering what on the right? yes. to buy 200 to 200 liters of water, video mama, it's much better now because i can get water whenever i need it at home. and when my savings have increased as a result, loa with me, and one of the strongest ppo horn and water, again, it's not only people who have benefited from it and from the ground water regenerating itself. this tank has now also become a habit dot for various species. that's because volunteers when beyond just cleaning the tank, they planted over 10000 cheese of native varieties using the milwaukee method, a japanese afforestation technique. this chip of forest protects the water in the tank. it's also attracted dozens of bird and butterflies species to develop dank,

and the green zone surrounding it. and not expressed joy i had when i saw the dang fill up the water in 2018, we used to water these plants. water walked over laurie id shortly after that. we used buckets to cross for the water from the tongue. it put one of these long suddenly to find warranty of the n. d. o reaches out to schools and colleges. yet it's most powerful tool has been social media by sharing, it's what's up link and boston clean updates. it succeed in bringing many young people together who wish to be a part of the process. gopi is the perfect example. he joined when he was just a student to day he pitches in with his skills as a jones cinematographer then we need to, particularly we do it for this and, and so did before the cleaning, after the cleaning and after the water get keystone, that is stored on read them bridge, entered 2 companies looking to find organ addison. at the same time,

we saw it to the government officials along this helps us get access to see as add opportunities and allows us to continue our work with government approval. in other look is under the one that they used to live in. instead of us approaching people about this, they are becoming a read. on jan oliver, there is a young boy in peers with us. if you ask him, what do you want to be when you grow up? he says, like you, i'll go up long trees and save lakes now. but what will you do for food? he replied, i'll go home and it, we are see such positive changes amongst children. what i, when it is oregon, it isn't even learned. the efforts are usually low yet, but here since he will get their hands dirty, the field, this is my home. i'll keep it clean, it is more effective. the protection of water bodies requires more than restoration, increasing encroachment waste, dumping effluent discharge, and lack of proper maintenance by civic bodies or just some of the major problems.

if you are near a villain of letters to people are drive you well. but if somebody dirties of dia here, nobody raises questions on because unlike the villager, nobody drinks this warrior not according to government to suspend the girls of rupees to revive lexical going, but had it made efforts to make that ready water consumable. many people would begin to get healthy, not academical, monica, none has succeeded in uniting people who care about water. now he has his site set on restoring them. no yoga, which is the backbone of modern, reclaimed little this river that passes to 4 districts and feeds $25.00 tanks is under threat going. but also the itself is on the banks of the nora levelland. but we don't drink from it in this, did we dig voter bonnie, bonnie or ali or really alan, that the number of days the water flows through this river is decreasing each day law and we want to increase it. and that's what we're now working. good witness. or then i may say it again, i am waiting on you to would warranty organizations like money condoms. hope spread

awareness about the urgent need to save local water bodies. damage not who has over 200000 tanks and other irrigation sources, but less than 90000 of them are in use. it will take a collective effort from the government and citizens to save water for future generations. mm. this way can we tuck into a tasty snack from tunisia? ah, ah, in the very north of africa lies be that the to nation. port city has been an important maritime and trading center for more than 3 millennia to fortify themselves between meals, residents here like to eat not lobby and they get it here.

demand is huge. sardine prepares one le blobby after another. what makes the sandwich so popular with me about the vehicle? i like the taste. how spicy it is as an uncheck these are good for you from america . i just like how it raises the group of. mm hm. it's not as unhealthy as other sandwiches that contain been oils and not so fried ingredients that are fresh. i feel this one is better for you than other sandwiches from a lot of prices between $1.00 and $1.00 and a half dinners barely 50 euro cents. it's affordable to lobby. has a long tradition in bizarre. do you know who it began in the 19 seventy's? they're buying it sibling, it could be several, you know, that lobby started to appear in small roving carts like this one and met with great success here in the desert. that maybe a woman cannot go to her. but i would give people to your like it. and buy it

frequently or worked on it was you can be area survey ones out of to this type of sandwiches, different than in other regions that lobby is unique to preserve china. i wouldn't look clean a bit. so hassan's sardine supplies bizarre residents with fresh le lobby every day from 5 am onwards. and that's all from us this week. thanks for watching and do write to us global 3000 at d, w dot com or on facebook d. w global ideas. bye bye. ah, [000:00:00;00] with
