when laura said out of the, i don't know, maybe if he, in honduras, most farms had been lost fella, worst case all mother ratliff. some communities have left their old funds behind and cut down forest to plant more coffee. and yes, of course, that's not right. last time 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 vinitez does things differently when or a 3rd variable that mrs or guam,

1:36 am
burnett stabilize and is now on the upswing, leave it under your own, went on the plane every year. little by little are coffee, harvest increases m l like before, where we'd have a good yield one year and a bad one. the next. yes, he and daniel had a couple of chill that e vinitez wants to achieve even more. he striving to convince other coffee farmers in the region of this method. oh, here 2 in south western germany pioneering work is happening. i am. if he has he vis here it looks pretty desolate. a bunch of thistles in here are edge. they made a. there's a sample, it's due to the weather over here, but we don't spray so we have to put up with the weeds. liam current among the undergrowth grows their most valuable crop.
1:37 am
i when that transition, when he hear that rattling inside the hod. yeah. when it's dry enough to thrash, is us talking. some brazen, ellis, in flits, cline, have developed the regional alternative to coffee there. finally, having a break through many years in the making for among have shown 6 and my leader 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 produced to a conventional cultivation travels thousands of kilometers to reach germany. growing lou pins in many seats, a lot of c o. 2 emissions in transport and it improves the local soil, di lupina lubin has very long happ routes and therefore can draw from those sources than usual. i'm from lay stretched down about 5 meters, me to where there is water,

1:42 am
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 or not they can go. especially people i don't think is, is some of the 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's a everyone who used to have traditional farms with good coffee varieties and lots of shade trees equal on. but then many started switching to conventional cultivation to ramp up production. dear bench, it's the wrong way proxy on it monica mino, but ales along with each benitez. the initiative wants to show the farmers that there is a better way. it may now turn a quick profit,
1:43 am
but it sustainable with gloria ventura took over the family farm. she's had to rebuild it in my head. 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 to rust, fungus hits. sometimes the fruit doesn't ripen and recant harvest to that book of a one year if the good harvest i know and the next year there is nothing new. yeah . miramar for the follow in full sun cultivation and climate change week in 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, $14000.00 residence to 1000 left their homes for the us last year. david, they need his wants to show those who remain how to build resilient farms. with the gothic with our bower formed on coffee, grown and shade is less susceptible to rust, mongolia, a step by step, the pharmacy, make the transition to shaded cultivation come on for
1:45 am
a faith orthodontist all together. they draw up a plan that will help gloria ventura increase her yield. gave him diarrhea, had a bullet, glory, a complaint, trees all along the banks of the creek drive and that out of moscow millerio. this will increase the humidity in the area and micro organisms and warms will do their work. if at all, ah, gloria ventura is among the pe, these small holders who have joined to the petrovitch community. they benefit from its sale system. i know my area of bulloch atlantic is like that, but most coffee growers need to take out loans and what their own goes to paying them off. and so, and they're more, but it's different with gotcha and hotels, but it, but i'm, unless we harvest enjoy the beans and so directly on the day after. yeah, i mean, the 2nd we make more profit as i yield the name of my benefit,
