this time that the exiled turkish journalist meets svetlana itsyana, sky, exiled leader of the opposition and bella ruse. and of course, i'm tired and tired, physically untied, morally is too much on my shoulders. but i have to hold this way because i'm responsible for the future of our country, for the people who are behind the boss. guardians of truth starts february 18th on d. w. ah, with do you know the thing and tell me what you eat and i will tell you what you are. food is essential to our survival. the way it 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, deal here in counselor, uganda, and welcome from me to chris the los in oakland state. larger area. biggest is sandra mentioned, have many sources. cows produce methane while our fields released 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 a neat substitute from soy in ivory coast. whoo, see how old gunning? farming is being promoted. and in kenya, we meet on my side. woman, dedicated to environmental protection. by now we know our planets resources are

finite. but what might that mean for the small communities? shoot a forest, be counter for firewood or left as a hub and for biodiversity. in guinea, they have devised a fun and effective way of helping the local leaders decide. if we put people here, how we lead to affect life in the forest this strategy. but jim allows players to address issues related to their environment in an innovative and resource from way . 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 ever village and community as her individual family, with those are in the collaboration with our other and mich remembers,

how can we, with our decisions, where to shape the development of our landscape around our village and also how do we continued to 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 footer 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 tip on these to address these and other issues. the annual kate, i shared the game with 3 communities to day ease in pillow. kura,

dunker fasting blood toward the game board depicts the village and its surroundings is as large player represents one family growth within the community. we have the bodies, the sows, the dollars and the very family a low enough. anybody the, as it done laugh already did an addition that there is a forest with its resources and wildlife more and we have fallow lance which are typical and found to joel on and i read that and there are also hunters equal dot. 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 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 as 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 and unprotected forest at our economy that i had yield vehicle learning at the end of the session d. r low on his neighbors 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 villagers 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. a thing under the people of pillar 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 you're there? oh, 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 are settled to do to give a variance of feel for the benefits of organic farming. here is a base weeks doing give it ah, with 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 orient n g o has organized in organic fair on the outskirts of other jobs here, and the dahlia flow nature. reserve visitors can meet and talk to organize

producers called rank. are we want consumers to realize that the sector is already quite active? a laser, they are beekeepers, 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 let a ceilings 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 pool gannet goods produced in

ivory coast. ah, and how about you? if you are also doing your bid, tell us about it, visit our website, or send us a tweak 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 estimate. but as recent studies, sure meet consumption and the climate crisis are closely connected. thus, 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 in 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 toilet on a low budget for if we want to single out and leg you that to help us achieve the good ions they took in pregnant men and should and then it's so yeah, been because it provides almost equal amounts as the i on that analysis portez would give us. so i would say that so yeah, been, it's a golden cup that we can use 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 tamale that produces solely based foods 1st ages, 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 deep fryer. finally, she has a variety of spices to make the resulting feel about an appetizing prospect with children to my client. okay, give as another switch, so then 6 months, glean family members solves indigo drought. so we go house to house, sell in all in group programs we,

i mean display our product in south. so people, veteran, i marry a li law 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, a 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 productivity is high. and also it helps to replenish soil facility. but there's a less positive side to soil 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 in the reason souls and vegetation are being lost as trees are clear to make way for solving farming. plus most of the harvest is used to feed livestock, and an increase in the counter population means an increase in methane production. milton is one of the gals 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 some utter, jacobo, regularly features soy in the mail she makes for her grandchildren who are rarely served. meat on. i love her, they go fine. it's cheap compared to animal, meet the my lovely car by beef because we can't afford that. and the lawyer need helps is to cook healthy meals. the gone on all thirties want to see

a further expansion of soybean farming in the northern region. the women's cooperative run by mary a li law, shows the promising demand for meet substitutes made from the vein. and if more people follow that example, the climate will also be grateful. and now from soil to rice is a staple of africa, cou 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 locked the linea umbrella when we continue

to produce this amount of rise each year. but we can do without imports, then your book right now that's our main objective of this local rice is also healthier, more, and tastes better than imported rice well, near him. despite the good organic growing conditions, senegal 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 for ordinate center goals, rice self sufficiency program. he says, dependence on imports is dangerous bullet bouquet and pot duty. every country that imports rise from india has what is at risk, which is almost the entire world mule buckler, lem. let's notice 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 forty's haven't taken the necessary action for months and i got they were all nearer. they're willing, the senegalese authorities only act and players are one and they don't really believe in this objective. and then they will hung up when it is on it, if they were committed. now we could reach self sufficiency in 2 years. synagogue mean is that on, 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 policy. rice farmers need access to land an extra funding to boost production. asthma. 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 standard rice factory manage. ab says that's changed significantly. we had a new velez unit in

a theater or new industrial units here. it both small and medium sized co op, which you excellent rice processing my ex, and they're now producing a quality rice, a white rice that can be sold, broken or fine broken or whole is f i. it would be mighty ivory coast to recently reduced its imports from india by almost 25 percent. 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. and what does that have to do? we hair you are bought 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 for 4 or basically 3 layers, felted from one killer of hair, and also a map light that can absorb several right, liters of hydrocarbon, or oil, or dealer. it wants, right? a very good for cleaning up oil related to pollution hobby or don't cover depression. human hair is hydrophobic, and by you absorbent, which means it repels water and can collect contaminants like oil. and it does so quickly. it's also a rule material that usually goes to waste, but there are plenty of hair salons willing to donate clippings to make the mats.

that's an inlaw seeker. 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 velvet lunches 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. so long's 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 night at delta. the consequences of a large spill in 2018 are still being felt to day, almost all of those seafoods of gone. come find them again because of the oil. on these as lead to e, a liberal party i, i will years 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 matt from her customers. clippings mats made from hair, could also reduce reliance on absorbing it's made from synthetic materials, but likewise pollute the environment. at the moment i have a few companies trialing lance air. hopefully they will soon order the mats and stop pushing out those polypropylene mats and 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,

they cultivate 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. a 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 northwood weapons but would treat saplings. cardeana, county sock of nearby is suffering. it's was drought in 40 years. climate change is taking a heavy toll on the re, john. it's effects are catastrophic. we depend on pastor, we depend on water, we depend on all the things that have been affected by climate change. so it over

time is the been what was happening before and what is happening now showed that it keeps getting worse. we keep losing animals, we keep losing almost every any know, for every we actually look at animals have our wealth. so we're actually getting portly by the, because of climate change she's witnessed 1st hand the devastation of forest in her home on the border of townsend. 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 o e, i, tati, her 7 children. she's lived here all her life. and this is the was drought. she's ever experienced. dance to her environmental activism. anita selina knows the deputy governor of co jadwin today. they are paying now. jo, 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 feed. 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. and the difference with the seasons is that they used to be shot and long grains. that meant people could plant mays and beans. they could feel their families were unaware. but now there's not enough for infill resulting in long droughts, and we no longer plant crops for human consumption. we have a shortage of food. people are suffering from severe hunger and animals are immersed seated and sold at a 3 hour price. everything's harder than it is to begin with. there were more. when our feeding, i mean will flag people, you know, you have to buy food for animals, you have to take care of them live near enough water and all that. so they've been

for much, oh 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 what impacts me. i me to sign of found it and that mental protection organization called spice warriors. as part of their walk, the activists have planted 5000 mostly indigenous trees. according to a canyon forest savage part, the country as far as cover increased 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 after problems, we need to clean our options to after a couple things. so just like we need something to, to help clean what we already released the air anita sign. her also works closely

with the local government to raise awareness of mental concerns among local. she even went into politics herself to ensure environmental was met me. she spent the summer campaigning in the villages as a member of the green thinking auction politic. the reason i went for elementary school because it was selfish, it's as if that if i go to parliament and possible, it will help or it will also speak for someone who's not in my concert with. 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. she'll continue trunk and many little mental causes and low being politicians. and she is well aware that environmental protection isn't only a priority payment changes. norfolk to other countries is going to up to the quick

of call or a call to action, which i think that 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 talk further financing and finance. what are we can in the ino in moving from for your 1st to fossil free? anita selina is contributing to that transition by planting trees and a shoring agreeing of future for kim young. what an impressive run inspiring woman . and that brings us to the end of today's show. we hope you enjoyed it and that you join us again next week. tilbury, i'm chris alarms, signing off from a good 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 fee soon from thunder tween over you here in kampala, uganda o.
