good news about you, but now the good news was check it out. the 77 percent in 60 minutes on d. w. right. well thank you. dustin love to hear about anything except for away from the fun. i'm not even allowed to watch my own car on everyone with later holes in every single day stuff. getting you ready to meet the gentleman can join me. right. just do it on the w. the or both of us who leave in a c t's might think the most of the world ease have over bought in funk. house of
8:31 am
the us had the to plant ease and we call too old that loans is used just for use food for people and for the animals know, think about that. welcome to equal africa. i am sandra tween over here and i increase their lives lots to have you with us today. that's a good point, sandra. we've learned the hard way back look, we'll find the muscles are equally sustainable or healthy, especially about they are being parked on the climate. that's one of the last themes today. ever. so look at what else we have in store. most then probably deals with the help of solar power. laughlin, the legal coral trait. and making the boat as the roll, organic waste. no matter where you leave,

it's nearly impossible to escape pollution and cold submission, whether in the air, sewing, or even want to for example, from the signs they want or originally hailed as game changes. but we know no thought the not only poison the food we eat, but also q is a split up by 2 to processes such as poor condition. the tide, however, is starting to change right to in uganda for example, the government is taking place to transform conventional agriculture to a new comic system well or equal offical correspondent, genius and with gum was paid a visit to one, especially promising project are about 70 kilometers most of your guns is copied to accompany our lives of farm with a difference from above. it resembles a tropical rain forest,
8:33 am
but below the color is one of the largest bow de nomic pharmacy nafrica. it is a life project of my team shift, gee, who runs the farm on sustainable principles for more than 50 years. the idea are familiar with a non because we got to is to, from successfully while intervening as little as possible, even actual processes. each of these things find his own way. every, every life plant creates its own source of energy and interconnectedness. so we tried to minimize our disruption of the land, the plants to so as the in fact the diversity in 2008 on freeform became sub saharan advocates. first from to receive abode, economic certification issued by demeter international, a key, organize the awful gunning funding around the world. a co principal of by with a nomic funding ease, enabling diversity of the, from the landscape, putting
8:34 am
a living ecological systems fast. the entire farm concept is very unlike what most firms could refer to as mono cropping. here you see within a 5 meters zone, we have black pepper rivera. we have coffee, cocoa, gray and, but it's actually the holistic approach also means that the lights still kept on the form of a lot of grids freely, often feeding them on the crops on the past, you can return them and you want and reach us. the soil fertilize us use these strongly restricted in by the nomic funding, which has its own methods of keeping sawyer photo us. a lot of our from waste on from they should use, we can post them box with any more money and the more them to make it more reach. i'm new train reach manila that we apply in the field called compost,
8:35 am
which we integrate with ada biden to make preparations. these organic preparations was specified by the incentive struggles tina whose touch of the bio de nomic funding methodology in the 1920 is taking the choice of 10 of the can take many phones as a funding expert to pointed out the source would never be left there because a nature again, if a product back into the most and so, so they, they, they, they idea behind this driver bringing it to other countries because this is really unreal. got explosive. and that's one of the, one of the biggest challenges that some of the suffering we've seen. but know, as they embraced the beginning of each of them recapture, they're protecting the soil and making sure that it gets fully covered. they have beginning to see inclusive in use or having a bite with a nomic certification means the form is subject to highest pundits than usual of dining farms. it can charge a higher price for its parties,
8:36 am
which is prepared in plastic to suit consumers. in the e, u, u. s. a, and i'm entering the exports lucky if the products which i need, that they don't have to be course damaged or have been in some kind of damage or have been in this space by dana mc. funding has proven the big, successful unfree which exports and average of $240.00 tons of gunny forties annually. the size of the farm is crucial to the success of $600.00 heck to is it is 5, be good. the most to guns and holdings much areas can be left to regenerate. so easy to role models for the farmers, and you're going to the people here that this was get ahold of, some of the kind of still do what he is doing and money to what we call into funding. you know, you have a small space, but you give it to you, you give it to your or you manage it when we are using the nutrients. you're not
8:37 am
good customer with core. we do watch recording, make reducing on your trans, accidental to the plant you to your ticket with those in your train. and the, if it's possible to do, to get an issue of a new coach that was quoted the scale because we have seen the successes already. i'm free from. there are also other benefits such as the 5000 marine trees, which have been described in some studies as a miracle plant for the a nutritional and environmental properties. even the oil itself, modern got quite a, is a medicine, but it has the medicine benefit. who does the health supplement benefit? now i've just learned that the japanese have done a study on this morning. a teresa quest is 20 times as much carbon dioxide as other trees and the same ship deep save that sustainability assessment found that for every kilo of proteins created up on $337.00 kilos of c. o. 2 equivalents will
8:38 am
squeeze t at, but they have to transport, puts a big dent in over a couple of calculations. this climate changes on us, and it's filed on william africa. but also from this one was kind of for me to get . again, this kind of change by increasing i will forest quickly and the so green groups that are able to stick with a couple and um, we get into other questions and also enable the from us adopt because all the, all the practices that have promoted adaptive. it is interpreting so for 2 weeks in management and close edition agriculture. deep pioneering project has also given training to thousands of independent from us in uganda. many of satisfied to walk as of diet, food supplies, or grow as full unfree. who by the approaches and explain to you to under the name name, kindly rhetoric, but they have introduced a very low but not good for organic produce the also a good price and pay on time compared to the local market. it brings in quite
8:39 am
a bit more and we benefit today got in it for them. the same shift, the hopes that he's a colonial approach to learn, use my in spite of the farmers to be able to receive ians against climate change, which would also improve livelihoods once a great project. another method of funding also is to protect ecosystems, palma coaching derived from the phrase, permanent record to its own, about walking, weave and respecting nature. that's right, sandra, respecting they just studied 8. and then we take the bait. nearly 40 years ago to australians received the right livelihood, awards for developing this natural methods of money doing the land. so today, the concept is more lives than they have usually the playbook for more than
8:40 am
agriculture goes like this. by huge blocks cloud us plant one single across the business side, processed by a bigger plot supply with to be forced to buy news needs, pump the same super engineer crump and it's carbon points in this oil. the great deal that we're supposed to think is the only way to produce l. c. 5. this definition for gas not is doing every single. he has a tiny plot. no machines, no talks and many crops of a sound with that, just a ton of dry sand, the patch of ground into this material on top. he's much more profitable than the average industrial farm. the method he's with by is called palmer culture. the if i get the boat this plus 7 years ago,
8:41 am
i really want to so i would do put food in a, in a sustainable or regenerative way. so i want to leave this place better than i found it anywhere in the world. it could, this could to could do this. he follows permaculture principles, cells directly to local restaurants and shops, works by hand and recycles is weight, meaning his food is basically climb and mutual on how dogs and industrial agriculture. palmer culture is a mix up, it was permanent and agriculture. the idea is to create if the production system that is self sustaining and succulent, the just of the idea is not new though. it's inspired by many indigenous traditions of self sufficient funding. like living off small plots of land and planting multiple crops, many of its techniques has been tried and tested for millennia. and so say you bought the plot. the 1st thing you're supposed to do is to look at the landscape.
8:42 am
florida fleur climate and design. you found around the circumstances folks problem . very dry ground. yeah, yeah. isn't good. so that's a good example. um, so yeah, it's really courts course and the specific small stones in so it doesn't hold any water. it's a subordinate just goes in here and, and drops, drops right through. and sprinkling says the crops with tons of what like an industrial agriculture often does, is not an option. 5 made a so called swale, a trends that live lower than the rest of the property. we won't touch and trickle in bye, put lots of biomass in the dark out. and put all the errors on that on that too. and then put blocks and sticks into that trends. it's crazy. it just looks like a bunch of a bunch of logs somewhere. and this actually acts as
8:43 am
a sponge and as the collection for the collection system for the trees to, to really grow. he applied the same idea underneath the pulse between the fields and cover the trenches with which ships a process called mounting stick and on the agenda, protecting and building up a photo ground. we all know the big trenches, attractive leave when killing the soil and palm a coach at the top soil with the minerals and its own ecosystem stays intact. what striking is also that every little row has different projects going on it and each one gets replanted up to 4 times a year, producing more with less space and one crops failed. others grow to balance it out . but some rows and season for harvesting strips between rows, i kept completely wild so that native animals contrived promoting both of us with
8:44 am
one of the pleasant inside of the small slugs waiting a lot of bike salad until because like the kids eating, the smaller ones, there's a natural pest that's for pesticides. yes and uh its not only with flags its as miles as with the um, with insect a lot with birds like we have all these birds nesting around. so we make all these hedges that actually are really nice. and this thing runs for birds and the birds eat all the insects. culture has gained and international following with funds everywhere from india, south africa to brazil. the tom is, are combining the dues with local agricultural traditions and adapting them to this specific context. in a while that's dominated by big funds and industrial agriculture, tom is like 5 need to get creative if they want to turn in profit. his vegetables
8:45 am
are more expensive than conventional produce stimuli and price to organic veggies sold around the region. the ritual of expensive was this ship price has come from the ship labor and to con seats of world and $1.00 in your carrots. um, because it's destroying the world culture has one big advantage. if the system does become self sustaining, you need very little inputs to produce food. so i have a really high profit margin. i'm actually 80 percent like 80 percent of my revenue is profit. it's. it's a, yeah, it's insane because i don't have a tractor. uh i the only thing that we actually pay for is a composite then the seeds. it's not for them getting rich, but i don't need much to to live off because i have my food and as well. so what could industrial agriculture learn from palmer come to some of the things
8:46 am
that definitely i think that people that's a come for us and also with the pros, inbetween roads, with heavy tubs. it's definitely all possible. and i could forestry is a big seam, there were 2 actually awesome parole trees around. it's not to be afraid since you actually have stayed on your, on the field. i think that's all the things that big execution needs to be addressed. as well as prompting multiple prompts that i'm moving and using list for to and building up soil oil changes that have been proven to work and have already been made in larger scale organic phones. the barring ecosystem of the better to ring. yeah. has been badly affected by climate change. it's coral systems with lee, a key role, a maureen by diversity. i'll also be hates. it weighs on the verification of the oceans, close to by increased c o. 2 levels of designated many endemic coral spaces in
8:47 am
recent times conservation measures have given stocks in the mediterranean reprieve . but now the jewelry industry has read this cover these color flu. my readings create this of the to bulk of a coastal town in northwest, in tennessee. for centuries. it played a role in coal fishing and trade in the mediterranean region. but these days businesses bought nearly all of the one slightly handicraft shops on the beach, coming out a closed more at our folly is one of the few who continued to make to re, from colorado, used to keep costs as dismissal into his children. but now he's not successful in coal isn't precariously short supply. so say what am i stuck on? what at some point they will probably be no more quarrel left at all. how do you and people die out more than see who read also he's concerned. so it justifies read
8:48 am
. carl in particular is highly sought after in the jewelry industry. but for years, mediterranean carl populations have been collapsing, which that's what pump and criminal activity solid and joey used to dives the coral . quite legally, he says, but the rise in black market practices made that based on profitable, unsustainable. yeah, and let bishop, there's a lot of legal fishing going on. and that creates huge problems for is because it destroys or carlos stocks and the entire seabed. me to the, for my house, if 10 kilos of carl or growing on a rock illegal fishing method will destroy all the habitats around the cap. cuz you know, the height is on drop as you know, he loads up the carl is last the only one kilo ends up being costs. so it's almost the fast. he says the purchase, carl is sold across the globe demand and stuff in europe and asia,
8:49 am
or is especially high performance either says it's hard for a start to use to verify the close origins. if it does go by cool is almost like cocaine these days is on the top you can get the uh and you said yeah. and while ago they caught in the tony and man with a boat who was transporting carl to italy illegally. that's his. that's all fits projected you have to take. everyone knows, smuggling is happening here and it's supposed to snow in the gun. only thing it's, it's not just fishing. net coaching and smuggling that to destroying coral rates in the mediterranean pieces. the main culprit, the entire region has been most of the affected by global warming. biologist sabri out his area has been researching the corolla for christ for a long time. the zip hot out across the bottom of the water temperature is steadily increasing, but not positive. we're seeing that here in the mediterranean, especially the one is to allow you and we're already feeling the effects on uh to
8:50 am
attracting many new species that aren't native to this region. or the actual thought they are often very invasive. especially those here in tennessee and the naturally has in august and got some turn effects, the water quality and the car will skeleton. see what do you machine as him if he can, the end, the car becomes too weak to fix itself to the rock and can no longer develop properly that them fail. and pull to ocean by the types of being lost. if the 5000 is known carlos species worldwide around a 150 live in the mediterranean, the reeks the home to many different marine animals. and they also provide that muscle to food. when they collapse, it's dangerous the entire food chain in the mediterranean. and with it many other species, so it just opens and c beds to re office on red. oh sorry, is condensed. all the problems plaguing the cold stem from one thing. humans and i
8:51 am
agreed you and how to wish and thought of them just like many other species are coral's, are dying because we no longer give them time time to grow and develop simply don't appreciate the treasures of our oceans anymore. the i think it was you in the door . it allows report to day takes us to morocco. like in much of north africa climate change is bodily impacting varicose agricultural sector initiatives . have been launched to mitigate the fact. but more resilience will be needed that is wide crease because scientific studies show thoughts, oracle needs to adopt its use of resources in farming to the changing climate, both on the national skills and on mtv to funds, making those funds more self sustaining. and energy efficient is a big stay in the right direction. so a lot,
8:52 am
paul is gaining ground in the agricultural sector. as most of the raise that means sets up the cover on site energy needs. the vacation ponds on little come from. i'm at the less as fills have been pod by the sun for 5 years now. used to rely on pertain gas if also feel you guys have to buy in the city. and you have to look at some we were determined to stop contributing to the damage being inflicted on our environment. when did so, we decided to switch to solar power as a clean or what didn't go friendly alternative or motivate it's and it's a good investment occasion. and then it's more profitable in terms of business and better for our machinery of this farm is located in can you trust? and i would read genuine. love isn't positive morocco for the past 10 years, with an olive trees of main leaving joining the sunday saw here, which can only be done using triple vacation. the noah had the worst we mix in
8:53 am
organic substance about the sand become cold. so how can we put it into these hello send you to have the code because all these hoses function is just the tribute already had even what was the, had the, what was the ad heavy and the because to middle even, and to keep the whole says from getting blocks out of several 1000 euros way invested in an elaborate filter system. the one that is pumped out of the catch spacing is filtered before being spent through pipes to the fields. we'll see on that one the other more humans that the filters need regular checks and maintenance just because they are vital to process. so sucky anymore, cuz in the document they're especially important for what's known as a localized irrigation that which requires water and it's free of any sort of impurities paint is 70. so upon is required on investment was approximately 80000 euros by the system meets all the funds, electricity needs companies like tech,
8:54 am
my rock, i've had the what kept house in recent years of technician installation technicians make regular maintenance checks and look at them. so they did have level after turning on the pump, well, for the water immediately flows into the tank. and what about such as now for the, the tumor which is connected to filters, utilize generals the water to be used for ever getting had been the men because you had laws then came, she did extinction. so even though renewables are really subsidized by the government, more, more from us, switching to solar palm. the last few years alone under that $10000.00 solar systems have been installed, the model cost funds. the check mark is benefiting from the strand to office solar panels with different ratings depending on how much electricity is needed. use mostly for recreation to trip produce or make bio for to allies as well as a says green energy is was the investment when it suddenly fell east.
8:55 am
instead of investing in gas upgraded machine was which are expensive and do that. we can opt for renewable energy that tells you, and it's actually very profitable. yeah, no, it's a cuts going because within, sorry, here's what i can i keep the money to pay the equipment to any of you. and then after that, i'm making a profit was actually was the end of the call. we'll get some credit card. i need a new one. so from us like i'm at the legs a can kill 2 birds with one stone. and more, while also taking better care of the environment that say the full biggest week edition of equal off we go hope you like the she'll next week we'll continue to look at more inspiring environmental initiatives and the people behind them. i am sandra between of you sign and go from complex right here in. you're going to see you next time. see you next week,
