the main causes some young children walk in mind troughs instead of going to class others can attend classes only after they finish working with millions of children, all over the world can't go to school. we ask why? because education makes the world more just make up your own mind. d. w. made for mines. ah, it's germany's favorite drink. and after 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 tamaqua

coffee drinkers tend to pay a lot, but the growers get very little military vehicle producing it harms the environment . unconventional cultivation isn't the only problem. the fastest way to get organic is to cut down aversion, forest them, and play coffee, and it was just go crazy and then just dies. huge piles of organic waste remain. so this is a super fit that right now is going to waste the beans off and travel halfway across the world. could this plant be grown more locally and germany? isn't? 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,

ah. b, at 1700 meters in the honduran highlands, the viet vinitez is reaping the fruits of his labor. to lamasta's court bundle lagrano being we only picked the bright red cherries from the pin for his own awkward thumb. we leave the rest to ripen further and get him out out of 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. 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. the latter 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. no family 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 that about this is a guam,

a tree for thought of these things provide shade and on which the soil with organic material along a material, danny, he grows his plants in the shade of the forest canopy and coffee ne, 3, the coffee is less stressed by the sun. lemme lucille and the plant ripens a bit slower, but the quality is higher. classy on buffer. metal also shaded coffee, plants don't need heavy irrigation. full some 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 doesn't benitez doesn't waste a drop. the lower kimmie my battery,

and look out i wanted the coffee in a barrel bought on the la, then i mix some of the water into the compost and the rest i used to water the farm, bella. my it contains lots of nutrients from the cherry. poke cielo lee. yea. again, nutrients. when debbie vinitez switched to where again a growing, his father was skeptical, but not any more. elephant lucille, this is the answer to from faith but of the vietnam iron's esther. he lived this way for thousands of years yet. dotcom okay, how could the big corporation say we can't survive without conventional agriculture companies? you're not, not grammar be so dyllis alice thought they thought they designed it. 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 to organic farming production dropped 50 or 60 percent boa casio st

. when but then at stabilize and is now on the upswing. it under your own, went on the put him play every year. little by little are coffee, harvest increases. that'll mel unlike before where we'd have a good yield one year and a bad one. the next yazzy and daniel ala pocketbook show 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. if you see this here, it looks pretty desolate. a bunch of vessels in here are edge they made or this is amber. it's due to the weather over there, but we don't spray. so we have to put up with the we exactly, um, current among the undergrowth grows there, most valuable crop. i

mean that transition when you hear that rattling inside the hod. yeah, then it's dry enough to thrash. is us talking? some brazen ears and flits cline have developed the regional alternative to coffee . they're finally having a break through many years in the making vermani and shawn 6 and my lead are making live in coffee for 26 years now not guns another. 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 allotted c o 2 emissions in transport. and it improves the local soil. guido pina louvin has very long with happy routes and therefore can draw from those sources than usual. 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 a climate so called langford, i'm it. this wasn't such an issue back when the klein's 1st. we discovered this dynamic flowering lagoon busy the night for a 3rd figure out a bottle of until the 19th sixty's dupont was the protein crop in northern germany, but the vinegar sawyer, in bodily, my white coat, good event with a cheap saw imports. it was forgotten. something's wrong with it, rob ish shoulder, bixler thornton. um how i was able to help bring it back down and i'm happy that i could talk to her about office. but if that was torn cotton ah, that lines were also keen to experiment. the 1st tried roasting them in

a pan rushed on vicinity, pop smells a bit like a popcorn. most pleasantly bondage to edith. the original idea was to make him a type of toford. i've had this morning for though 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. it's done of carved for ice. 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. that lines are serving homemade cake made with little been fly along with their caffeine, free coffee alternative lupina. 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 copy harvest is being brought to the roster. lol dow unloads coffee from the of eat benitez and other small holders. lowell powell is from the us 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 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 coffee's about is the people behind in if we need to treat people with respect. and so sometimes

giving people respect, explain 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 the ve lowell powell collect the harvests from the initiative. small farmers what he sees during his trips to other plantations worries him hormone to like he 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 bench that's the wrong way to prove it, monica mino, but ales belong with each benitez. the initiative wants to show the farmers that there is a better way. it may now turn a quick profit,

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 less as the empathy. lo, lo, a rust fungus hits. sometimes the fruit doesn't ripen and recant harvest with at the end of a one year. if the good harvest i know and the next year there is nothing, daniel. yeah. miramar for the 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, $14000.00 residence to 1000 left their homes for the us last year. dev eat they need his wants to show those who remain how to build resilient farms. with big effect, 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

a fair thought. as you see all together, they draw up a plan that will help gloria ventura increase her yield is hillary. i had a bullet, gloria, complaint, trees all along the banks of the creek drive, and that our motto, malaria, this will increase the humidity in the area and micro organisms and warmth will do their work. utilize. ah, gloria ventura is among the babies. 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 growers need to take out loans and what their own goes to paying them off in the thought of in their money. but it's different with gotcha and hotels but, 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,

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 contract of initiative have even more ideas to benefit coffee growers a 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 coffee 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 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 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 process, the coffee flour team, a all. they transport the cherries to the trying area. ethical 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 myers company in the us producers, flower and flakes from the dried fruit. it got the dried fruit note 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 workers have been hired for the business here. flour and flakes are already on the market in north america. recently, coffee, cherries, or also approved in germany. ah. 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. oh, 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 to taste it. 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 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 with almost 1500 or t as for be the old people for the workers. yeah. 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. a

farm is 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 frequent. i mean it but how does it taste? here comes the moment of truth. ah, my 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 would like to log in 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 is 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 dab eat. benitez has many ideas on how to revolutionize coffee growing in his home country. all while inspiring other brow bowers on the co trochi cooperatives farm. he's devoting himself to his latest project, a teaching garden i. from when we're growing more than 100 plant species here.

we're telling people that you just grown a small space and grow a diversity. and this is the same thing that diabetes doing in their mouth. fletcher is in his mouth, the ation from very simone agriculture. some of different deals or less. i mean, clearly as we're sharing our knowledge with the community on how to go native seeds and avoid using pesticides that harm the environment in the local nazi me at the one that's on that. and 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, that eat the neatest 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. 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 not to let him 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, no, depending on go quicker, little get got it. this is a great fertilizer which we use for vegetables. coffee but for all crops. but it got there. he said a bottle of tails. 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. la, at the best rebellion is to produce what you consume. so you don't have to depend on the transnational companies with against the odds. davita,

benita 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 homeland. ah, ah, he may wipe on hampton, but i found you in the way if i went, for example, to the u. s. and in the i would on dollars. of course, mandela carla seemed yet to think what the money had sent back here. we'll go straight to buying food. and now that makes no sense in all the same little gum our course will, new hampstead, we produce what we consume and eat what we produce. that's the best. well,

fair is summer, holiday jessica. on honestly aneurism. and that'll 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, ah, ah ah
