says to global organic export market. it's a pioneering project, but also combat climate change. to have for good on d, w. sometimes the books i'm more exciting than real life the we're hearing to read the point if there's no escape. the richard list, german street, the for those of us who leave in a c t's might think that most of the world ease has over bought in font house of

the us had the 2 blonde eas i'll be called to old. that loans is use just for his food for people, and for the animals know think about that. welcome to eco africa. i am sandra t, nobody and i increase their lives. glad to have you with us today. that's a good point, sandra. we learned the hard way back, not all find me muscles equally sustainable or healthy, especially about they are being parked on the climate. that's one of the last themes to day care. so look at what else we have in store. boasting crop yields with the help of solar power. luckily, and the legal coral trait and making the boat as the roll, organic waste. and the way you leave,
3:32 pm
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 in game changes, but we know no thought the not only poison the food we eat, but also cute 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. he's taking types to transform conventional agriculture to a new comic system well equal offical correspondence genius and we gum was paid a visit to one, especially promising project. it's about 70 kilometers, most of your guns as a copy to accompany our lives of farm with a difference from above. it resembles a tropical rain forest,
3:33 pm
but below the color is one of the largest by day nomic. pharmacy nafrica is a life project of muslim shifty who runs the farm on sustainable principles for more than 50 years. they deal real familiar with a non because we got to is to from successfully while intervening as little as possible. not sure old process is each of these things finds its 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 saw as the insects, the diversity in 2008. and freeform became sub saharan advocates 1st from to receive abode. a nomic certification issued by demeter international, a key organized, awful gunning funding around the world. a co principal of bio dynamic funding is enabling diversity of the from the landscape, putting
3:34 pm
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 rad. yeah. we have coffee of cocoa, gray and, but it's actually the holistic approach also means that the lights still kept on the, from a low to grids, freely, often feeding them on the crops. on the past, you can return them a new one and reach us the soil for the lives us. use the strongly restricted invited a nomic funding, which has its own methods of keeping sawyer photo as a lot of our from waste on, from what i should use. we can post them box with, i need more money. i need more them to make it more reach. i'm new train reach manila that we apply in the field called compost,
3:35 pm
which we integrate with ada, made any make preparations. these organic preparations was specified by getting the sand to struggles. tina who's touching the bio de nomic funding methodology in the 19 twenty's taking the toys of 10. nobody can take many forms as a funding expert to pointed out. the source would never be left there. because the nature again, if a product back into the most and so, so they, they, they, they idea behind the driver beginning to other countries because this is really unreal. got as close to one that's one that one of the biggest challenges that some of the suffering with the but know as they embrace the beginning of november because they're protecting the soil and making sure that it is fully covered. they have beginning to see inclusive in youth having a by with a nomic certification means the form is subject to highest pundits than usual of dining fast. it can charge a higher price for its properties,
3:36 pm
which is prepared in plastic to suit consumers. in the e u. us a and i'm in rates, i'm lucky if they need it. they don't have to be course damaged or have been in some kind of damage or have been fairly space by dana mc. funding has proven the big successful humphrey, which exports and average of $240.00 tons of gunning forty's. annually. the size of the farm is crucial to the success of $600.00 heck to is it is 5, be get the most to gun. and holdings much areas can be left to regenerate. so easy to role models for the farmers and you're going to as the people here, this was get a hold of somebody 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 you, we owe you money when we're using nutrients,
3:37 pm
you're not good customer with the core. we do what recorded my produce, nutrients. i to that will, to the plant you to your ticket with those in your train and the it's, it's possible to do to get a refund will cost you add some most hold of 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 planned for the a nutritional and environmental properties. even the oil itself. hm. what do you got? how are you? maybe set up 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 trace. the quest is 20 times as much carbon dioxide as other trees seem shift to save that sustainability assessment found that for every kilo of parties created up on $337.00 kills of c o. 2 equivalence was decreased yet,
3:38 pm
but they have to transport, puts a big dent in over a couple and calculation climate changes on us. and it's far more enough. but also from this one was kind of for me to get again this kind of change by increasing i will for us, for trees and the some green crops 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, a deep pioneering project has also given training to thousands of independent from us, the new kind of many of certified to walk as of the foot suppliers or, 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 be liable not good for organic, produce the also a good price and pay on time compared to the local market. it brings in quite
3:39 pm
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 may inspire other farmers to people receiving against the climate change, which would also improve livelihoods at once a great project. another method of funding also is to protect ecosystems palmer culture derived from the phrase permanent record to its own about walking, weave and respecting nature. that's right, sandra, respecting they just studying 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 during the land. today, the concept is more alive because i never usually the playbook for more than
3:40 pm
agriculture. goes like this. by a huge blocks cloud, a plant, one single cro, decide to just buy a bigger plot to plot with did this before to buy new seats plant the same super engineer crump and if carbon poison this oil degrade this and that waste space, the thing is the only way to produce l suit by this definition for death not is doing every single. he has a tiny plot, no machines, no talks and many crops. look at this with that, just a ton of dry, sandy, pets of ground. and to exist. the chevy on top. he's much more profitable than the average industrial farm. the method he's with by is called palmer culture. the cycle now both this plot 7 years ago, i really want to so i'll do put, use food in
3:41 pm
a, in a sustainable or regenerative way. so my want to lease a safe better than i found it anywhere in the world. you could, this could to could do this. he follows chemicals or principles cells directly to local restaurants and shops. works by hand and recycles is weight, meaning his food is basically climb a neutral on how dogs and industrial agriculture. palmer culture is a mix of the words, permanent and agriculture. the idea is to create a fee production system that is self sustaining and succulent. the gist 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 menu of its techniques has been tried and tested for millennia. so say you bought the plot, the 1st thing you're supposed to do is to look at the landscape water flow climate
3:42 pm
and design your farm around the circumstances. folks problem. very dry ground. yeah, yeah. isn't good. so that's a good example. so yeah, it's really, course course and the specific small stones and so it doesn't hold any water. it's as simple as it 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 trench that lies lower than the rest of the property. water can trickle in i put lots of biomass left out and put all the arrows on that on that too. and then put locks and speaks into that. the trends. it's crazy, it just looks like a bunch of a bunch of logs somewhere. and this actually acts as
3:43 pm
a sponge and of some water collection for the extraction system for the trees to, to really grow p. apply the same idea underneath the pulse between the fields and covered the trenches with wood chips, a process called mounting. sticking on the agenda, protecting and building up a photo ground. we all know the big trenches, attractive leave when cooling the soil. but in time i go to the top soil with the minerals and its own ecosystem stays intact. what stretching 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 if one crops fails, others grow to balance it out. but some rows on even for harvesting strips between rows, i kept completely wild so that native animals contrived promoting both of us with
3:44 pm
one of the pleasant inside of the small slugs waiting. a lot of folks sell it until the biggest legs, the kids eating, the smaller ones. there's a natural pest that's for pesticides. yes. and it's not only with flags, it's was my is is with the um, with insect a lot with birds like we have all these birds nesting around. so we make all these had just that extra li are really nice. and this thing runs for birds and the brits eat all the insects permaculture has gained and international following with funds everywhere from india, south africa to brazil. the bomb is the 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
3:45 pm
a more expensive and conventional produce stimulant price to organic veggies sold around the region. the special effects spencer was this chip prizes come from ship labor and to cut pizza oil on one of your carrots. um, because it's this training the world, a ton of 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, uh, yeah, it's insane because i don't have a tractor. uh i the only things i originally pay for is a composite and the seeds. it's not for them getting rich, but the i don't need much to to live off because i have my food as well. so what could industrial agriculture land from palmer come to the.
