deterioration to spot the end of a superpower. the collapse of the soviet union rushes more in ukraine. one year stand vision because we take a look back at the 4th and into the future. in the new balloon. slowing in february, d w. ah ah, welcome to global 3000 strength in numbers. how thousands of volunteers in india, a 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, in one, in 5 refugees, world wide, came from south and central america. the exit is, is caused by political crisis and lack of food collapsing, health care systems, and also corruption and rise and crying that desire destination, the usa and canada, where they're often less than welcome our report from guatemala, looks at initiatives that are hoping to give people a bright future in their own country. oh, oh. 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 futures. ah, look at this measly corn. com or number for cathy for they're supposed to be much bigger. ah, these days the harvest is barely enough to even feed his own family. a recent hurricane left havoc in its wake. the damage will have lost in consequences. made if you have to do it to even find any soil yet. oh mila! ah! what is it?

that's why nothing grows properly any more. but on the hurricane dropped a thick layer of sand on the field so well. oh, 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 guatemalans emigrate to the us. marcus, mr. 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. why thought either a new lady up there earlier, say good. i mean, think one, they've been almost younger generation were better trained. they could find work in their old community school one year or even start their own business. it had only rossfield. e toggled used to holland tools,

had thought skills and potential bowler food to strengthen their communities. and if heroin and the country laplant young again, la, commonly up by fair could, i say this, 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 mer send the teachers into the community. this young man trained as a welder and got a job with his small business them. if not, i think one army gave me a hot idea where might be able to lead a better life in the u. l than the from left a look and but what's the point and if your family, your friends and your home i here is my that i yeah, are not very narrow. but if that is in the home in the central kid that is thriving and the project is now expanding, it's 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. is

appears to be working but despite these initiatives, growing numbers of people that 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, d. c. i o. lithia about that on apple and power are taking advantage for population . that star thing my last one is going to let me look at the population that can barely survive the resource of labor. i know corruption creates the conditions that make it impossible for them to earn a living. chaos. i are not up well. have these my sample methods?

yeah. hub links. schools are only open full hours a day. 8 organization glasby 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 us. that's when like, if love you, when we hear guatemala, we think of violence, hunger, danger, and gang selling things that 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 own to their family. la garza were among the li, narrow. so for me ladies there. yeah. the organization 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 seal 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, addison, some info to cook, to see what all of that in a place where i never know if i'll make it back alive. when i step outside, see yeah, maricel from dorothy. well, it's good for them. if we didn't, even if we speak different languages, we're basically all the same. we're human beings that many of us have no prospect. all we want is a chance, you know, a bodily daddy 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 lamasters 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,

or maybe some day i'll still get my chance of them in la la fi 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 to struggle to make ends meet our 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 for your bread preserved and shared seats. but then a great culture radically changed. in the 20th century, farmers got new machines, chemicals and lopped made seats. and big companies stepped in. this major players dominate the market to be one of them had a special role in shaping modern agriculture, especially in the u. s. now, owned by german, milton national by your monsanto, was one of the giants of the business to turn seats 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 santa was one of the largest suppliers of the notorious edge and orange for the

us military. 50000000 leaders of this deadly herbicide was sprayed to kill trees and tropical foliage that provide a cover for the gift fighters. not only do this areas remain contaminated, millions have been poisoned by the chemical. next month hunter turned their attention to peacetime whip, killing, developing the blog, buster hammer site roundup. it hits shells in the $970.00 s and became the company's cheap profit driver ah, run down kills the root kills that we round up, kill thanks to its main component cliff a said, but it ended up killing so well that it also killed farmer's crops so they could only sprayed before planting seats after the harvest. but what if they received the delivery round up that home and found who stepped into the see business in 1996. they rolled up round up ready. these receipts that were genetically modified to be

immune to gleeful sate who wouldn't buy into that? it was like magic. he 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 developing resistance to round up 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 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. monsanto created a system, the controlled by 2008 months. hunter had bought 50 international seed firms. the market power of mon fonda and 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 seat mon font ordered 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. scientists found little evidence that such crops actually lead to higher yields. what has been going on is the use of monsanto's post the child cliff a site to move your hair beside globally. this 2 maps of the us showed the amount of round up being sprayed on the dark or the colors, the more is 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 more than hungry cultural system created this under to zation 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 neural to drop and disease. the climate crisis is only making it worse, but it's a different story with traditional seats. if you want to look for something that will rate hash mighty conditions, especially now that on climate change, you can always go back to that i've not been elected. this is the medical den. she's a plan geneticist at the international crops research institute of the same ery, tropics, the more different seats we plunge, the higher the chances of finding the once the canada up to stream, whether, for example, in just one region, and se. scientists discovered almost 400 varieties of neglect with crop species, and more than were 6 traditional local rise varieties that deal better with drought, salty soils and flooding stress compared to commercial alternatives. luckily,

even when traditional seeds are gone from the field, they're not always gone gone. we have them in places like these. more than $1700.00 c banks around the world store the untapped potential of traditional seats. probably the most famous bank boy is the coolest looking one is this one in norway . it stores or a 1000000 sid samples from across the world, and the chile permafrost conditions make sure this little fellows are preserved for centuries. the system works like a bank, the deposit their owns, the samples, the bank. in this case the government of norway owns the facility. for example, brazil has thousands of seats and here some of the seats were rescued only because indigenous communities and traditional farmers kept them there where we grow all foot 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 ourselves how come

to grow food better this time for every one? ah, motor isn't increasingly scarce. commodity in many parts of india, the rainy season is getting shorter, heat wave, longer and droughts more frequent. ah, 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 local cleanup operations. here's what it looked like before the cleanup and after and it happened in less than 2 hours in that our we have had $25.00 to $30.00 doug and i will not be as, who have been with us. got it not be blocking to make a positive contribution to society. i'm willing to face the hot pot is organizing it. money undone is the founder of the indio. calais cleaned up by the gobbler. might its volunteers have been disturbing what

a bodies across glen metal 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 on that and on this day there, dick, 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 just like when i to distribute supplies. i got a certain amount housing long ago 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 a severe shout money, camden was determined to revive one of the city's driest water bodies better when he produced down the call, it hadn't has even water for many years, rather than i decided to clean the panel by removing plastics and with an vis a visa now mclachlan, 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 in a part of it. 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 mccullen the not a bit. so we decided 19 of 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 to my class. the organization has restored 4 large lakes, 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 a little cron 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 canal

for water hadn't been law benito to like other people hadn't crossed on 4 and a half of the 6 and a half kilometer long on it. on either side of the river banks and garbage had been dumped into dot jack dunn's to which this dang receives the water to the lamp. what these were the 3 problems and i did morning brittany, liberty in 2017 money canden 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 dang was full. ah, village is 2 kilometers, only once laughed at reliable water sauce. but just a few months after the reservation was completed, locals noticed an increase in groundwater levels because the yellow tank could now retain the water it received back in the you only have armed if it

drink raphael, if it didn't i was. he wouldn't farm boring since there is water in the tank. for the past 4 years. there's been water in our valve american. we use them wouldn't bump out the water for farming ross. i wonder what i used to buy 200 to 200 liters of water every day. mama, it's much better now because i cannot get water when i, when i need it at home on my savings having cleans as a result, loa with him, and one of the jungles able to hold in 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 habitat 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. bladder walked over laurie id shortly after that. we used buckets to cross with the water from the tongue. it put one of these clumps on you 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 when we had a leak, 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 did all the that 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. whereas when it is oregon, it isn't even learned. the effects are usually loom yet, but here it will get their hands dirty. they feel this is my home. i'll keep it clean. this water 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 relative vendors to people don't drive you well. but if somebody dirties of data

here, nobody raises questions because unlike the villager, nobody drinks this warrior not according to the government to suspend the girls of repeats, to revive licks and coin, but had it made efforts to make bread and water consumable. new people would begin to get healthy. not a critical monica. none has succeeded in uniting people who care about water. now he has his sight set on restoring the 1000000 java, which is the backbone of modern declaim little this river that passes to 4 districts and feeds 25 tanks is under threat going. but also the itself is on the banks of the neural river. levy land that we don't drink from it in this, did we dig water, 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 are then i may say it again. i waited and argued with 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. ah, this way can we tuck into a tasty snack from tunisia? ah, ah, in the very north of africa lies bees out. the tenicia 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.

with my name's hudson said any, i'm 22 and i've been working here with my uncle promise 12 years with his their loved lobby as a beget topped in different ways and freshly prepared by cell ingredients or the hot chilly paste teresa and chick peas soaked in water the night before they cooked in the morning. the customers then choose additional toppings such as spices, cooked vegetables, garlic sardines on it and to no, ah,

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 i am unchecked. these are good for you from america. i just like how it asians groping. 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 dina's 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 sabrina, sabrina acres. several. you know, that lobby started to appear in small roving carts like this one and met with great success here in the desert and admitted. mm hm. i'm gonna go to

a but i will give people to your like it and buy it frequently or worked on it was you can areas are rear ones out of to this type of sandwiches, different than in other regions that lobby is unique to preserve china. i wouldn't mclean a bit. sansa, danny supplies these apps, residents with fresh lap 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 . with ah,
