ah, computers than elsewhere, you and governments that go crazy for your data. we explain how these technologies work, how they can go rules and for. and that's how they can also go terribly. watch it now on youtube. oh, it's germany's favorite drink. and after a crude oil, it's the world's most traded commodity. coffee makes many traders and roaster is rich, but growers stay poor. many are forced to give up their plantations, can tell my coffee coffee drinkers tend to pay a lot, but the growers get very little lativia people producing it harms the environment.

unconventional cultivation isn't the only problem. the fastest way to get organic is to cut down a virgin forest and play coffee and it will just go crazy and then just vice huge piles of organic waste remain. so this is a super fix. that right now is going to waste the beans off and travel halfway across the world. could this plant be grown more locally in germany? jesus this field will be coffee. this plant has a future. it's time to take a hard look at how we consume and produce coffee. is there another way? ah,

at 1700 meters in the honduran highlands levied benitez is reaping the fruits of his labour kilometers. could bundle lagrano via we only picked the bright red cherries from the pin for his own awkward thumb. we leave the rest to ripen further, little get him allotted country ah, here in the hills of santa alaina, the young coffee grow or brave the sun, drought, and market power. his adobe house without electricity has become a nucleus of change. his siblings, parents and grandfather also live here to save the farm. they've had to learn the new methods. davida vinitez introduced after studying agriculture. when i, when laura said that, the, i don't know, maybe if he, in honduras, most farms had been lost. the lather was care so much, but riley, some communities have left their old bonds behind and cut down forest to plant more

coffee hearing. and yes, of course, that's not right. no. some we get the many abandoned plantations and fresh clear cuts are evidence of the destruction or conventional sun ground. coffee is one leading cause of deforestation. every cup of coffee that's consumed destroys about 5 square centimeters of rain. forest, coffee grown in full sun brings the highest yield, which is why nearly half of the acreage and central america has been converted for this type of cultivation. another 25 percent is being converted. daddy benitez does things differently. when i say that about the mrs. guam, a tree with out of these tunes, provide shade and on which the soil with organic material material gun he grows as

plants in the shade of the forest canopy and cafe northeast that the coffee is less stressed by the sun. my, my load i see on the plan ripens a bit slower yet, but the quality is higher than i see on buffer. metal also shaded coffee plans don't need heavy irrigation. full sun cultivation however, requires enormous amounts of water as does the industrial processing of the beans producing just one cup of coffee requires about 140 leaders of water. a kilogram of coffee requires 21000 leaders that could just about phyllis swimming pool. after cocoa coffee is among the food stamps with the highest water consumption, devin benitez doesn't waste a drop. the lower kimmie, my battery, and the gal i watched the coffee in a barrel bought on the la on them. i mixed some of the water into the compost and

the rest i used to water the farm de la my. it contains lots of nutrients from the cherry pulp. he lo lee. yea, daniel grant, when debbie vinitez switched to where again, a growing, his father was skeptical, but not anymore. it wasn't lucille. this is the answer from faith, but of the vietnam. iran's esther. he lived this way for thousands of years yet. dot com. okay, how could the big corporation say we can't survive without conventional agriculture? committee or not grandma, be it? i. so dallas, i'll as dante, sort of daily santa is we used to use a lot of fertilizers, fungicides, insecticides, everything. the transnational corporations gave us from the out of dealing solar when we 1st switched organic farming production dropped. 50 or 60 percent boa cas hill, st. when berlin at stabilize and is now on the upswing, hill, you it under your own, went on the per implant every year. little by little are coffee harvest increases m

l. unlike before where we'd have a good yield one year and a bad one. the next. yes, he and daniel and our pocketbooks shall davi vinitez wants to achieve even more. he striving to convince other coffee farmers in the region of this method. oh, here too. in south western germany, pioneering work is happening. i am. if he has he vis here it looks pretty desolate . a bunch of thistles and hair are edge. they made a. this is amber. it's due to the weather, over village, but we don't spray so we have to put up with the weeds. liam kern among the undergrowth grows their most valuable crop. i wonder to advise you when he hear that rattling inside the hod. yeah, then it's dry enough to thrash. is

a scorpion, some brazen ears and flits cline have developed the regional alternative to coffee there. finally, having a break through many years and the making vermani have shown 6 and my lead are making live in coffee for 26 years now, not guns, another me, but the generation back then said no thanks. we can afford real coffee now on the so today's generation says, no, we want to ensure a healthy climate size coffee produce to conventional cultivation travels thousands of kilometer is to reach germany. growing lou pins in germany saves a lot of seo to missions in transport. and it improves the local soil. didn't pina lubin has a very long tap roots and therefore can draw it from noise sources than usual. while they stretch down about 5 meters, me to where there's water even in these dry. some houses over done often isn't hawkins on it's really a plan for the future. especially in terms of the climate talk of langford,

i'm in this wasn't such an issue back when the klein's 1st. we discovered this dynamic flowering ligim. pleasing denying her theory auto body until the 19th sixty's dupon was the protein crop in northern germany. depending if oil embody my why the caregiver event with a cheap saw imports. it was forgotten. something's wrong with it. rob is shawna bessler thornton, i'm how i was able to help bring it back down and i'm happy that i could talk about offers that he thought was torn cotton ah, that lines were also keen to experiment. the 1st tried roasting them in a pan reached on vicinity. pop smells

a bit like popcorn. most personally bonded to eve. the original idea was to make an type of toffee dish was arguing for their love. i haven't liked to enthusiastic because i thought it might go bad fairly quickly. does this flight to hi, letesha registered and who would buy it from the of cove for ice? yes, he is. a guy totally wasn't so in like it is to day. that's why we then experimented with roasting coffee from it, because even then everyone drank coffee to celebrate the good harvest, the blinds are serving homemade cake made with lupin flour. along with their kathy free coffee alternative latino. they're also planning to launch a new open product by the end of the year with it's a big day in st alena,

the coffee harvest is being brought to the roster, low bow unloads coffee from the ve vinitez and other small holders. lowell powell is from the u. s. and his wife myra arianna powell is from this area together. they founded the contract community the initiative sells this regional organic coffee in the united states. they then use the profits to support environmental and social projects and honduras for traders. not enough farmers are not getting ahead. so is it, is it better than nothing? yeah, but is it enough? no, because he doesn't have any disposable income for me, was coffees about is the people behind in if we need to treat people with respect. and so sometimes giving people respect, he's paying more for for their normal power. was

a prosecutor at u. s. immigration for 12 years, he knows the fates awaiting those who have to give up their coffee plantations and emigrate. i left my job. i just didn't like prosecuting people. right, wasn't, you know, you rather be around people helping them here. i still feel like i'm a lawyer, but the other kind of lawyer, there's a problem. my job is to fix it. with a contract initiative, the couple promotes more humane and sustainable production. they also support further education programs and fair wages. we don't have to be increasing our earnings by 10 percent, 20 percent every year. why not earn 5 percent and then leave 15 percent with people that actually make it happen. so i think is, is greedy, that is taking us to destruction because they were not taking care of the

environment. we're not, they can go. especially people i don't think is, is some thing impossible. i think we need to support people like that. the level powell collect the harvests from the initiative, small farmers what he sees during his trips to other plantations, worrisome, tall mando acute t. and i think that everyone who used to have traditional farms with good coffee varieties and lots of shade trees, e con. but then many started switching to conventional cultivation to ramp up production. dear mention that's the wrong way proxy on it, monica mino, put ales along with each benitez. the initiative wants to show the farmers that there is a better way. it may not turn a quick profit, but it's sustainable. with

gloria ventura took over the family farm. she's had to rebuild it every month ahead. i mean if possible, my husband used to do everything. now for 4 years. it's been just me use her husband abandoned the plantation because of a nasty rust found us looking more. let us empathy. i'm low, low, a rust fungus hits. sometimes the fruit doesn't ripen and recant, harvest would have thought of it one year. if the good harvest i know, and the next year there is nothing danya merimark that a fellow in full sun, cultivation and climate change weaken the plants, paving the way for the destructive fungus to spread rapidly across central america . since 2012, its been destroying the livelihoods of thousands of coffee farmers,

including that of glory as husband who emigrated with her 6 children to the us for work. many thousands of farmers from central america attempt to that same trek every year. if they make it into the us, they usually take on unskilled labor and send their hard earned money back home to their families. of santa alaina's, 14000 residence, 2000 left their homes for the us last year. david benitez wants to show those who remain how to build resilient farms stick. i think the star bows on the, on the coffee grown and shade is less susceptible to rust, mongolia, a step by step. the pharmacy, make the transition to shaded. cultivation hormone, profess orthodontic feel. together they draw up a plan that will help gloria ventura. increase her yield,

a sandra or anabolic gloria, complaint trees all along the banks of the creek law and that out of muscle, malaria. this will increase the humidity in the area and micro organisms and warms will do their work. alive. gloria ventura is among the ab small holders who have joined to the petrov community. they benefit from its sale system. i know my area of bulloch atlantic is like that, but most coffee rowers need to take out loans and what their own goes to paying them off in the south in their most. but it's different with gotcha and hotels but, but i'm the last we harvest enjoy the beans and so directly on the day of the yeah, i mean the 2nd we make more profit as i yield the name of my benefit, the coffee market fluctuate greatly in the last 4 years, the farmers burned on average, less than one euro per pound, fair trade frames,

and roughly one euro $0.30. through the cut russia initiative, they earn almost double that but better pay is not the only perch levied. benitez and the contractual initiative have even more ideas to benefit coffee growers. i with. ready change is also a foot in nicaragua. carol whitmeyer has traveled from the u. s. for this pile of waste. this is the cascade on the left over that we hope one day this pile will completely disappear. so this is a super food that right now is going to waste. and if we can turn that into nutritious food, that's the goal. carol whitmire has come to nicaragua for the coffee,

cherry start up. this is our 1st visit to the facility where this, suppose it waste is being turned into a high quality product. all of that, kathy, we're still a startup. we are still small. and one of our biggest challenges has been educating both consumers and companies who can buy this as a wholesale ingredient. we're creating a whole new market where you can smell the coffee the coffee supplied by the farmers is pitted here by machine, then it sorted washed and dried. ah, the industry is focused on the coffee bean. but the cherry encasing it, makes up 40 percent of the frauds weight. $322000000.00 tons per year of pulp are discarded worldwide. it's

a major environmental problem. the heaps of rotting fruit, release methane, acidify the soil and contaminate the water. the facility manager shows carol whitmeyer, how the team processes the coffee cherries are useful. a liquid poses the coffee flour team, a or a transport the cherries to the trying area. a salad africa banter the catch the front skins before they're fallen to the buckets under discarded electric with one of the saves the skin for, for the processing just got on the planet. carol with buyers company in the us, produces flour and flakes from the dried fruit. it got the dried fruit nose and all of the sensory, the roller that we looked for in coffee, cherry farmers have not been paid for that before. now we will pay them for that,

so it is new income $80.00 workers have been hired for the business here. flower and flakes are already on the market in north america. recently, coffee cherries, or also approved in germany. all of this is available to be sent to europe. this is all available now, but it's not only in the major export countries that coffee cherries are being reconsidered as an ingredient. let's go get to go see the 1st cherry be again. carol whitmeyer wants to learn about the work and see the fresh fruit up close for the 1st time. wow, i finally get a taste. oh, it's got this wonderful sweetness to it. those taste amazing. various types of coffee grow on this organic plantation in nicaragua. until now,

local residents didn't consider the yellow and red cherries suitable for consumption when time for some experimentation in the canteen, where 3 meals are prepared daily for the farms employees. so how many tortillas do you serve a day? walk almost 1500 or t as for be the old people for permanent workers. here. they're testing out how dried coffee cherries taste in traditional tortillas. the new ingredient could offer some extra neutral, no value. in addition to caffeine, the coffee cherry contains a lot of anti oxidants minerals and protein, and it's more than 50 per cent fiber. a. the pharmacy manager is excited about the new product. this is

a really good idea for environment 2 addresses. so much farmers find they drove on the river stool yet and many of free vacant. i mean it but how does it taste? but here comes the moment of truth, gong my offer days. i feel like a fruits like 5th 340. i like both, you know, in the us. some restaurants and bakeries have already begun incorporating coffee cherry flour into their menus with chest. jason wilson shows off which dishes utilize the ingredient and his upscale restaurant. he's been working with a startup from the outset, and as constantly developing new recipes. we did the okay, we did some madeline's,

we made some chocolate cakes that i worked with this. i feel like tirelessly to figure out the water replacement ratios are different recipes. because this is fruit powder, essentially with m. it's a very high fiber fruit, as wells with jason wilson wants to sell this crunchy granola with coffee cherry flour in supermarkets with eat. benitez has many ideas on how to revolutionize coffee growing in his home country all while inspiring other growers under contract or cooperative farm. he's devoting himself to his latest project, a teaching garden, a home. we're growing more than 100 plants species here. and we're telling people

that you just grown a small space and grow a diversity. and this is the same thing that davida is doing in their mouth. fletcher is in his movie asian levy simone agriculture. if thermal def, indian le let him. yeah. earlier, we're sharing our knowledge with the community on how to grow, need of seeds, and avoid using pesticides that harm the environment gender upon us, samantha on that on that. so these are things that farmers can apply at their own houses. so our hope is when people come here, can i go, i can do that. debbie vinitez combined the knowledge of his indigenous ancestors within sight of modern agriculture. he knows how vital it is to use every part of the coffee plant and waste nothing to kill you out of my own benefit. if we take our coffee to a mill, the fruits guns are discarded, battles. but when we put the coffee ourselves, we can turn the fruit skins and the fertilizer, a little less,

immobile catch by young farmer from the neighborhood is curious to hacking. and now we add micro organisms. naval the la every 30 days, sometimes 2 or 3 times. no, depending on go to look at it. this is a great fertilizer which we use for vegetables. coffee but for all crops. but it got better. but i thought of the deals alongside coffee. he's planting fruits, vegetables, herbs, beans and corn on his families to hector's. more mixed cultivation strengthens the plants and provides his family with something extra. mm. let me holler at the best rebellion is to produce what you consume. so you don't have to depend on the trans national companies with against the odds. davita the neatest has managed to drive as a small farmer in honduras. ah,

ah, he's also introducing new methods to others and sharing his knowledge. ah, ah, the young coffee farmer is determined to stay in his home then. ah, ah, he may wipe on a hamburger, but i found you in the way if i went, for example, to the u. s. i would on dollars of course, mandela that same yellow thing, but the man he had sent back here, we'll go straight to buying food. and now that makes no sense in order to see in montgomery course, we knew them said we produce what we consume and eat what we produce. that's the best. well, fair is summer holiday jessica. on unless i knew it and then that will not one of

our dreams is to have a farm school where growers can come here and learn about what we do. i cannot set a sandwich, a man who inspires others and shoes when it comes to coffee. there is another way, ah ah, with

who entered the conflict with sarah kelly as well as war of aggression against ukraine raises on the battlefield. it is also using information campaigns to promote both narrative in a conflict. so special. i mean a security conference by at the high level in the battle again with

every journey is full of surprises. we've gone all out to give you some time with the right people. i'm in your northern most count please. ah, brain time in the line. so very much alive, dw channel, you'll guy to the specialist. and jenny, do it recognizes where exactly it was fun and i learned a lot our culture history, all their d. w. travel extremely worth a visit, a sex phone operator who wrote her master's thesis on the potato,

raring to read a turn on. well, it gets more would that there was from there, literature list, german 3. so i was just rescue it from a farm. this one, this body globe. i found it like this and i couldn't just leave it. there should be a. 2 such a great burden. it was so dirty and then cleaning it, turn the entire bathroom into a mess. this is the water, birds, 1st swell, but one of the most beautiful moment i've ever experienced a truth with w series about our complex relationship with animals. well, i think i will live long enough to witness the factory farming the great debate
