download it now, i imagine how many portion of land asana in the world right now, the climate change, the very hot story. this is life less the way from just one week. how much work can really do we still have time to work on going all. what furth, subscriber for morning was like: good welcome to global 3000 nourishing earth. why fertile soils a key to feeding our growing global population? better housing?

how are africa's cities tackling the challenges of rapid growth and poverty in the land of the champions? how people in argentina are coping with a long running crisis? comparing prices, hunting for bargains in markets and supermarkets, food is an expensive commodity. in argentina, prices, they're almost doubled over the course of a year. for years, the country has been mired in economic crisis. on top of this long running droughts have led to widespread crop failures. around 17000000 people, roughly a 3rd of the population live below the poverty line. une and de, zekiel have got a job to do. armed with charlie, they comb through the cities garbage looking for cardboard plastic and anything else they can sell at a recycling plant. here in argentina,

cuts on at us named after the spanish word for cardboard, are a common sight. i'm getting your hands dirty, making an honest living. that's what we teach. our kids money was always tight for the couple. and now devastatingly high, inflation means they can barely make ends meet that our most. we work every day and now toys this much. but again, one south full used to be enough to buy food and, but now we need to. it's summer time and scorching hot on the streets of when osiris, but the world cup gave the country a much needed breath of fresh air. the national football team's triumph in december was an excuse for a party that lasted 3 days. ah, argentina has always been so could crazy. but the world cup, when unleashed an unprecedented wave of nationwide euphoria,

after the relentless onslaught of bad news, the financial crisis spiraling inflation and the pandemic that was finally something to celebrate and provide encouragement. wise them where it was bomb for the soul. wanting forget inflation to get politics. at least now we've got 3 stars with a another. it gives us hope. yet if you fight, you can win and why fighting? our team fought 2 and one just let you go to jonathan media and i don't it doesn't take long to fill up the sack up a little bit ago. yeah, it does. we just got lucky. what so much in one place, a stroke of luck. i'm gonna be similar to what the ca can't

carry more than $100.00 kilos of extra weight. the sack, the as a careless securing on the roof will on and the equivalent of about 15 years. i think we get cod till is a poor neighbourhood with a high crime rate. it's where diego merit donna grew up. afloat. hero of the people. a boy from the slums who rose to super stardom who made mistakes, but stood unconditional love in his legions of fans. in the well cup final, when it looked like argentina might be defeated, annie turned to the late great silken legend. giddy came out alone up. we're far, i said married zona, wherever you are div something's waterfall centers, you're hung hooked your body, whatever. i just don't let them full in it. well, that's what you've ordered. you will hope you're brought the sacks of full. that now comes the hard part. floating out the garbage,

they'll be working well into the night. many of argentina's top football is come from poor neighborhoods. the game is an escape from poverty. when darkness fully of crowns gather to watch unofficial football tournaments, there's quite a bit of cash at stake at the semi legal events known as portray ross. it's how franken and his living through betting. that long ago when i used to work in play. but iron much better now than with a normal drawing, almost a little bit off of one in the per terror circuits is the cradle of argentinian football. it's way players cut their teeth and when many a discovered ally, the cunning, the daring though this is where the best players start out with matches on fire. frank, who was once approached by

a tenant scout to but didn't have what it takes to go professional. he owns enough, he had to take care of his son and survived a financial crisis. franco is a local legend, but his income isn't secure. very well. we lost that he screwed us, doesn't matter when he comes, goes and we wanted to win. but this time we didn't know it on the massive world, another baking hot day, infinity to any. and as that yell are exhausted, they were up separating rubbish until 3 in the morning. but there's no time to rest . they need every pest. so i will, i'm, i'm going to have a lot of people don't realize what hard work this is about. they think will lay abouts, if they don't see what we do as work. but it is a no, i have to fix this to them. they're about to head for the recycling yard to see how much they can get for that concord. despite the odds,

they're optimistic again that you called me and also some players are still so young, but they are well champions. you're saying, why shouldn't my dreams come true? he all, my life is hard, but i've got a goal. hm. see, for bye. i have children, grandchildren, neighbors, you, anything's possible to see if with a life these days is harder than ever. but as a kellen any aren't the kind to complain. today about 1000000000 people live in africa, south of the sahara and says the u. n. that numbers set to double by mid century. in a few years, most africans will also live in urban areas. partly because many people in rural areas are moving there in the hope of a better life. the boom is also fueling a housing crisis to day, about half of africa's urban population, south of the sahara live in informal settlements. this poses a major challenge for growing cities. as this report from south africa's cape town

shows the township of mussel who millennia cape town has 30000 residents spread across nearly 40 hector's nose locally. where is sorting through the wreckage of her home. 2 weeks ago, a fire destroyed 178 shacks. here. homes made of corrugated metal on a wooden frame, sol. so i ran out without knowing what the only thing i have left in my pajamas was my neighbor died in the fire. one of her friends filmed the inferno fires like these are happening more frequently. as the population grows, people are living closer together and heat waves are also more common because of climate change. dozens of homes also burned down recently in cape towns biggest township calisha and not for the 1st time. architects gloria pivots her and her

team from the n. g o e. k. allow me are rebuilding the houses that the new ones are affordable and more durable. and we're here to implement our sink aluminum structure which is why retarded them are talking about m. n flood flood. we, we, one on into ribbons are player by is this one survive the latest fire without a trace? the sheet metal they're using as thick her, so fire can't spread as easily from home to home economy as funded through donations. it's already built 3500 of these new models. in the closer language economy means my home. the n g o wants to help people live in safety and dignity. cedric mays, old corrugated iron hut was replaced a year ago to her long who like to see how things are going. yeah, everything is okay. and her as you can see the place already nearby this. what it

does is with rebecca. yeah. nice. very beautiful. oh it is our shower fund. their love really surely we're here we go. we're come. i listen. oh i conway that is room. yeah. i for one room push or one shack room. and you know that thing must or more like falling down with the wind come with an overhead. diction ordered the rain gone through dead project on but now you live in the beautiful clint, my gosh, i can't read things. forgot. cedric may works as a catty on a golf course. his employer agreed to help finance the construction cost of around $1000.00 euros together with economy. this kind of co financing is the basis of economies funding model. muslim a difficult we pre finance as much as we can of the bulls and the employee employers meet us half way. and sometimes employees also partake in that in that perhaps the employer can pay up front and in the employees pay back the employer um

at a rate that suitable to their relationship and their financial reality. the golf course paid back their interest free loan within a year economies housing initiative as part of the project by at collaboration. it helps employers provide, they work as with a better home for the equivalent of about 70 euros a month. these huge demand in formal settlements will dominate africa, cities in the near future. they already home to one in 5 cape town residence jo, bowl. nick is an urban development advisor. he says fire resistant homes can quickly improve living conditions and townships in times of climate change. summers are hotter the windsor, significantly more ferocious or the sketch and always has had heavy winds. but now they, they're more sustained and more unpredictable and often much more volatile. and

even the in migration of people are moving from the room, enters into the cities, is pushed by the fact that sustainability and survivability in the rural areas is being profoundly impacted by the changes in crime. economy isn't only making homes fire resistance together with the urban think tank from e t h 0. the n t o has replaced an entire informal settlement with 2 story home. the impala shak pilot project has already billed more than 70 units. the last ones will be handed over to their new owners today. okay, towns deputy maya has arrived. the city council wants to officially honor the new homes and their own is like a good back wash. oh so you. so it's it's, it's an important mix. the home, yes, the home it makes the home and it does the you taking pride in yo, yo s,

it's incredible and is currently rebel population sitting at just about $4800000.00 people. the data suggested rules are partial composed to 6 were liberal. at the end of this decade. we need to plan differently with the game for friday, every near to secure partnerships to respond to the housing for when i, when it's a good place to store. in an emergency, this st provides access for fire trucks and ambulances, where corrugated iron huts once stood, crammed together. they are now children playing the project also plans to provide solar power for the neighborhood. looking at a 3 megawatts of solar energy production in the kweisi park alone. i and see the potential for i think it's about 2 gigawatts of renewable energy production in kylie cha. initiatives like empower shaq and e. kyle army. us still to scarce in south africa where they're desperately needed. petra, people like no zacalo leeway,

can't wait for years for a safe place to live. the nice thing that will get, i'm devastated. color one. that was my 1st fire and i haven't been sleeping well since my neighbors said as a big fire every summer, it's become normal here with was like i punch in the last 3 years, fires and kate towns, informal settlements, have nearly doubled to 5000 a year it must be puma, lily, they're worried that if some is keep getting hotter, this is just the beginning. now, how can we feed a world of 10000000000 people by 2050 equitably unsustainably? just under 5000000000, hacked as of land are already being used by agriculture. that's around 37 percent of the global land surface. by mid century will need to produce about 60 percent

more food to ensure that no one goes hungry. in recent decades, modern agricultural methods of lead to greater harvests, but it's been at the expense of the soil in many regions of the world, large areas of arable land and now under threat. and yet a healthy soil is essential for successful harvests and for a healthy planet. right now, these are living on your body, but don't worry, they're supposed to be there. they're microchips and the planet is covered in them . and there are tons of them in the soil because they literally make fertilizer for plants. these are some of the only things on earth that can do this. we depend on soil for almost all of the food that we eat. and because 90 percent of the planet's oil could be degraded by 2050 scientists and even agribusiness think microbes could be key to averting of food crisis. so let's take a journey to the invisible world right under our noses and our feet. to see

what happens to soils when microbes get out of whack, we can look back to the 1930s in the united states. settlers replace native grasses with farmland and then intensively tilt which killed microbes and degraded soil after a series of droughts. the damage soil was easily picked up by the wind and turned it to so called black blizzards. millions of tons of tops, well, just blew away in what came to be known as the dust. although farming methods have changed, somewhat soil degradation is still a global problem. what we are doing basically is destroying the soil and now and not renewable for what we have been doing so far within the last 2 and the navy east, you soil out at the strike to grow plan. we've been under valuing them and expecting them to stay healthy,

but tilling over using chemicals and climate change are harming our soil. this is a problem for growing food, as well as resources for clothing in construction. soil is also key to storing carbon and filtering water. to make so else healthy again, we need to start seeing them as what they are. entire ecosystems teeming with hidden life, all run by my groups. all this under our feet is top soil where most of the insects and microbes live along with plant roots and small animals. one gram of this can contain millions of microbes. and a few worms, healthy soil will have a diversity of my groups. the most common ones are bacteria and fungi. one of their most important jobs is transforming nutrients. every single nutrients cycle on the planet, mostly driven by microscope, none of these cycles really exist in a vacuum. they all into one of those nutrients cycles, as with carbon,

plants and animals are made mostly of carbon. and when they died, they're broken down my, my groups, no microbes, no d, competition. the microbes use some of the carbon to reproduce, storing it in the soil, and breathe the rest of it out, sending it back to the atmosphere. another nutrients cycle happens with nitrogen, which makes most of the air around us, and is one of the main nutrients plants used to grow. plants can't get it from the air by themselves, so they partner with microbes. and we can find evidence of the nutrients cycle by looking at certain plants, like these beans, which are considered nitrogen. fixing the beams, create these little root nodules that become home to a certain type of bacteria. in return, they change nitrogen into a form that plants can access microbes, specifically fund guy, also exchange other nutrients of plants. they are very fine routes called hifi. the intertwined themselves with the roots of the plant. the fungus is really good at releasing things like spots for the site from flow,

which is the plan to get so it starts the ends exchanges that with the plan in return for things like sugar, which the plant can make. and there's also some evidence this relationship makes the plant more able to withstand drought and disease in a degraded soil. these new chain cycles aren't working as well as they could be. climate change is one cause of degrading soils with drought and extreme weather, causing them to dry out in a road intensive. agriculture can be another cause as pesticides and are besides kill off beneficial microbes and reduce their activity. the more degraded soil is the more chemicals are needed to grow stuff degrading the soil even further. this whole plot of land was intensively farm for 30 years. and you can really see it in the soil. it's super sandy, dry and degraded. degraded soils also lose their ability to hold and filter water

are more susceptible to erosion and have less of those beneficial microbes, meaning plans don't grow as well. but soil health is about more than just our food security. boil community health is actually the foundation of all the natural and men is the foundation of something crumble. everything else comes tumbling down and agriculture might actually hold the key to making our soils healthy. again, the same plot of land, not so far from the degraded bit years of regenerative agriculture have brought back a lot of microbial activity. the soil looks completely different. this farm is a best practice example. no chemicals are used and the soil microbes, arthur riving. just look how beautiful these 2 meters are. no, tell agriculture, leave soil undisturbed, which allows the microbes living inside the clamps to thrive. specifically those fund guy, high feet, which are important for soil structure that can be

a kilometer of them and a gram of soil. and cover crops planted to leave in the ground, right? micros of carbon to chow, down on, as well as reduce arose and nutrient las unfortunately, this kind of farming just isn't possible everywhere. if you can do it, that's, that's the key word me once. but the ball room, the vast amount of areas where the only so this grady that these techniques on multi now to recover the soil in your time. here's your microbes come in. a larger scale. the most common uses is bio fertilizers. they use like chemical base fertilizer, if they contain fun guy or bacteria. soil degredation is a big enough threat that bear a company known precisely, i would. cultural chemicals is also interested in more countries by

a good is certainly certainly held to review. chemical devices to company is also investing in seeds that have been infused with micro because delivering microbes along with seeds is the most targeted way to apply them. seeds can also be planted with a coating of microbes, conservation organizations are using this approach to restore ecosystem. a problem with commercial microbial products is that the microbes are not specifically adapted to environment. non native microbes could find it hard to survive, rendering the process useless. and because these are living organisms, they could cause an imbalance in the micro biome. we sees something we, we really have to do taking concentration, ashery. we found jain because they spread faster and they are. maurice d sheeny sank. even bare agrees. just

oh, it doesn't necessarily need a automatically oh, since soils are different around the world, we would ideally develop microbial products for specific regions. but that will take time and more research. unfortunately, our soil help is an emergency. we are going to movies because we actually govern soils, and we see the cheapest way to do recovery because we are covering them while we are, are maintaining the ged to for large farms, bio fertilizers are a step above chemicals and where possible. agriculture that relies on helping native my groups like on this farm is the way to go. all reposes have been tracking down tasty snacks again. this time in indonesia, ah shimoda on
