ah, getting ahead. using tech. as a documentary series, founders valley, it's africa. meet the founders, empowering their continent through digital innovation, transforming work, health and living conditions in their country, and inspiring the world with their ideas. founders valley africa, watch now on d a document 3. o, it's germany's favorite drink and after crude oil it's the world's most traded commodity. coffee makes many traders and roster 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 plant coffee and it will just go crazy and then just dies. 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? diesel 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,

ah, you look at 1700 meters in the honduran high lands debbie it benitez is reaping the fruits of his labor kilometers. quote gumbo lagrano being we only picked the bright red cherries from the pin for his own awkward thumb . we leave the rest to ripen further down the little fun and get him out out of country. ah, here in the hills of santa alaina, the young coffee grow were brave, the son, 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. david 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. bella was case old mother ratliff. some communities have left their old funds behind and cut on forest to plant more coffee . and yes, of course, that's not right. last time we get the many abandoned plantations and fresh clear paths. 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 i say that, well, this is a guam,

a tree for thought of. these trees provide shade and on which the soil with organic material along a material gun he grows as plants in the shade of the forest canopy. cafe ne, that the copy is less stressed by the sun. la moda cylinder plant ripens a bit slower yet, but the quality is higher than i see on buffer. metal also shaded coffee plants don't need heavy irrigation fulsome cultivation, however, requires enormous amounts of water as does the industrial processing of the beans producing just one cup of coffee require is 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 stuffs with the highest water consumption doesn't benitez doesn't waste

a drop. the lower give me my battery and look out. i wanted the coffee in a barrel, but on the level of them i mix some of the water into the compost and the rest i used to water the farm, vela my it contains lots of nutrients from the cherry pople cielo lee. yea. again, with rent when debbie vinitez switched to where again, a growing, his father was skeptical, but not any more. it wasn't lucille. this is the answer from faith that of the vietnam iron's esther. he lived this way for thousands of years yet with that comma k. how could the big corporation say we can't survive without conventional agriculture? committee or not? i'm a b. i. sir, dilly silas dante sort of did he, santa, we used to use a lot of fertilizers, fungicides, insecticides, everything. the transnational corporations gave us come 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. hollywood under your own, went on the per implant every year. little by little, our coffee harvest increases m l like before, where we'd have a good yield one year and a bad one the next years he and daniel had a pocketbook chill. that e vinitez wants to achieve even more. he striving to convince other coffee farmers in the region of this method. oh, here to in south western germany. pioneering work is happening. i am. if he has he this year, 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 current among the undergrowth grows their most valuable crop. i wonder that an issue 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 . they're 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 deed who pina lubin has very long happier routes and therefore can draw from noise sources than usual. they stretch down about 5 meters,

me to where there's water even in these dry summit. this is over done often, isn't hawkins on it's really a plan for the future. especially in terms of climate welcome floods. if i'm, if this wasn't such an issue back when the klein's 1st, we discovered this dynamic flowering lagoon blazing, denied her figure out a bottle of 19 sixty's. dupon was the protein crop in northern germany, depending if oil embroidered in my why the car to get the event with a cheap saw imports. it was forgotten. something's wrong with it. rob ish or shoulder be slow, 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 the type of toford. i mean for they were, i would like to enthusiastic because i thought it might go bad fairly quickly as a flight of like your financial expert and who would buy it front of carved eyes. yes, he is, a guy told who 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 caffeine. free coffee alternative. the pino. they're also planning to launch a new lupin product by the end of the year. it's

a big day and st. helena, 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 cartridge a 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 luck 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 it 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 sort of thing impossible. i think we need to support people like that. the level powell collect, the harvests from the initiatives, small farmers, what he sees during his trips to other plantations worries him tall mando, a key to unit. 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 bench, and that's the wrong way. production model, camino 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 sustainable with laurie ventura took over the family farm. she's had to rebuild it a month ahead. i mean foster, my husband used to do everything. now for 4 years, it's just me use her husband abandoned the plantation because of a nasty breast found us looking more. let us empathy. i'm low, low rust fungus hits. sometimes the fruit doesn't ripen and recant harvest of a one year. if the good harvest i know and the next year there is nothing, daniel. yeah. miramar for the full moon full sun cultivation and climate change weakened 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, they need his wants to show those who remain how to build resilient farms with big effect, the 3rd bower formed on coffee drawn and shade is less susceptible to rust, mongolia, step by step, the pharmacy make the transition to shaded cultivation come on. professor brown.

feel together they draw up a plan that will help gloria ventura. increase her yield. gave him that a i had a bullet lawyer, complaint trees all along the banks of the creek law and that i'm also malaria. this will increase the humidity in the area and micro organisms and warms will do their work. and if at all, gloria ventura is among the ab small holders who have joined to the petrov community. they benefit from its sale system with my idea of body 10 acres like that, but most coffee rowers need to take out loans and what their earned goes to paying them off. and also when they're more about it's different with gotcha hotels. but it, but i'm, unless we harvest enjoy the beans and so directly out of the, of the yeah, i mean effect and 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 brings and roughly one year old, $0.30 through the contractual 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 pack up 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 ensure 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're 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 with the coffee supplied by the farmers is pitted here by machine. then it's sorted washed and dried. ah, the industry is focused on the coffee b, but the cherry encasing it makes a 40 percent of the frauds wait. $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 process, the coffee flour team, a all they transport the cherries to the trying area. i say a lot africa panther, the catch the fruit skins before they're fall into the buckets under discarded with one of the saves the skin for, for the processing just got on the planet. this is carol with myers company in the us, produces flour and flakes from the dried fruit. it's got the dried fruit dose and all of the sensory,

the aurora that we look 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. flour and flakes are already on the market in north america. recently, coffee cherries were 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 again. carol whitmeyer wants to learn about the work and see the fresh fruit up close for the 1st time. i finally get a taste it's got this wonderful sweetness to it.

those take amazing various types of coffee grow on this organic plantation and nicaragua, until now. local residents didn't consider the yellow and red cherries suitable for consumption 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 2 years for this, the old people for the workers here. they're testing out how dried coffee cherries taste in traditional tortillas. the new ingredient could offer some extra nutritional 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. ah,

the pharmacy manager is excited about the new product. this is a really good idea for him. vitamin 2 addresses so much farmers full time. they drove on the river stool yet and many is free vacant. i mean it, yes. but how does it taste? here comes the moment of truth, gong my offer days. i feel like a fruit slater. with 340, i like both, you know, in the us. some restaurants and bakeries have already begun incorporating coffee cherry flour into their menus. i met with chess. jason wilson shows off which dishes utilized the ingredient and his upscale

restaurant. he's been working with a startup from the outset and has 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 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 brow. whereas under contract cooperatives farm, he's devoting himself to his latest project, a teaching garden i. from when we're growing than 100 plants species here.

well we're telling people that gail, just grown a small space and grow a diversity, and it says the same thing that davida is doing in their mouth. watch her is in his movie, asian levy from own agriculture. if thermal def, indian, the latin mia kalia, we're sharing our knowledge with the community on how to go native seeds and avoid using pesticides that harm the environment. gender cannot see me at the one that, that on that. and so these are things that farmers can apply at their own houses. so our hope is when people come here you like, oh, i can be that debbie vinitez combines 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. here,

if we take our coffee to a mill, the fruit skins are discarded. battles, but when we put the coffee ourselves, we can turn the fruit skins and a fertilizer in a little less immobile catch. the least by young farmer from the neighbourhood is curious to hacking and now we add micro organisms. naval hello every 30 days. sometimes 2 or 3 times know the pin deal go to it quicker than it'll get got if 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. le, the best rebellion is to produce what you consume. so you don't have to depend on the trans national companies against the odds of each 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 want but i am hoping i found you in the way if i went, for example, to the u. s. i would on dollars of course, mandela that same yet a thing, but the man he had sent back here, we'll go straight to buying food. and now that makes no sense in all the same little girl mark was renewed and said, we produce what we consume and eat what we produce. that's the best. well,

fair is summer, holiday jessica. on honestly aneurism. the nettle, not one of our dreams is to have a farm school where growers can come here and learn about what we do. i can offer a sale a man who inspires others and shoes. when it comes to coffee, there is another way. ah ah, with

research for a better climate in stinky message. scientists to new zealand is performing breast tests, some sheep. to find out how much harmful met and gas they pant. some sheeps breast is more climate friendly. and the scientists is successfully breeding them.
