is this the sea of slab? do classic cars still have a future? can our ocean most have cultural heritage stay in motion? without like tricity climate, friends, a fuse or even fossil fuels? or will be and motionless, and museums? the when it comes to making a planet future proof innovations are a great all states what we can also move to the pos voice permission. welcome to echo africa. i'm crystal, i'm coming to you from lagos, nigeria, and i am sandra co homes that we know video joining you from compo out right here in oregon to on the show with find out how traditional methods can offer us as 2

days problems. so here is a quick look at what we have coming down. how a visa company in kenya is changing. mine sits on call being deforestation, livestock farmers and gone down to sustainable indigenous medicines and an ice cream coffee, exploring authentic african slaves as to the says coastal region is the demographic and economic background of the country. much of each of the culture is located along the coast to bond climate change has led to severe water shortages from us on the locals. desperate for solutions as additional system dot use a see what to to the fruits and vegetables could be the way for it. are going potatoes here is only possible for all the gods. see, thanks to

a centuries old farming method known as romilly which means on sand. if you need to this end the region surrounded by salt water onto easiest north coast. air of settlers returning from under lucio in the 17th century, setup small plots along the salt waterloo near the town of the pod ella. man all the gods see a retired teacher and farmer sun has long thought to keep this farming tradition alive. it relies on the tides to water, the crops, little mill, the salt water comes in from them. if it's a rainy and with the tide. once it reaches a certain level, it pushes the thin layer of fresh water up from the firm. sandy substrate to reach the reach of the crops with the amount the sub you'll have what we know that fresh water waste last. so it always stays above the salt water. so only think fresh water reaches the roots of the crops on the amount that you fly, the most. the fresh water comes from rain falling in the hills. and that's how the

plan. so if you're a gate anyway, usually at the, we never water them from above and we wouldn't be able to go there. we don't have any wells here or reservoir. so what are the got to see is preparing furrows ready to plant potatoes. each plot of land is no more than 4 meters wide and a surrounded by reeds to protect it from wind and erosion. the natural irrigation system allows the farmers to grow crops all year round. no additional watering is required and there are other advantages to no pesticides are needed. the salty soil is a natural deterrent for most the past. the farmers can produce up to 20 tons of potatoes, beans, or onions per hector. each year. the vegetables are highly prized for the unique to me, but all the work has to be done by hand. it's tough going, and many farmers have given up. i laura nonsense has come to see ali garcey.

she's the president of the local farming and fisheries association. she spent 2 years working to get the rom, lee method, certified by the us food and agriculture organization as a globally important agricultural heritage system. but if you have a good kaiser to vacation is a key step in upgrading the value of the produce. it will allow farmers to sell it and the major supermarkets for a higher price with a label like the one for other organic food. it's the only way to encourage the farmers to keep going to keep me home. but i always, after all this is organic food and it's more expensive to produce. and then with conventional farming p, my yeah. has a blue z. yeah. the acceleration of climate change along with unregulated urban sprawl, and growing tourism infrastructure along the coast have all affected the area. and now the water no longer reaches all of the bromley plots at high tide

difficult when they built the road right through the middle of the lagoon. it was obvious that water coming in from the sea to the lagoon would be by water. i don't know when we complain you tardies agreed to did channels under the road to lift the water through the ocean, but very little water gets through and that's affected the whole system on which our farms depend. what's left to split them and apart from stopping such a building projects zone round off. f wants to know what else could help motivate young people to take up this traditional farming method. it did not move how we're trying to encourage the farmers not to sell their plots and see how we arrange training courses to show them how they can adapt to the new situation via or organizing the workshops together with the world wide fund for nature and the human development program and the need. we also give the people subsidies to encourage them to keep farming via me, photos via the potatoes from adi guards. these plots show the work is worth while

he's hoping to persuade the 300 other farmers in the region to hold fast to the romilly tradition and preserve their heritage. can you tell us been struggling with the route for the kids? and the situation is becoming more and more bleak food stamp a to dry and to hard to plant cold vegetables and the car to also drink those rights. sandra, billions of kind of yes, the suffering from severe hung up the price is partly due to global warming. around the codes, deforestation is also to blame, rather than simply telling people to stop shopping don't freeze. what collective us develop a creative way to break about change. the music and 1st of episodes soon attracts the crowd. the safe plumbing physically is performing today in the money in southern kenya. the play is about every day hardship,

environmental issues, and climate change. it's called me uncle. that means decades inside. healy the whole amount due to it swedes through the last 40 years. staffing in 1981 when nature here was still intact. but the use of deforestation have follow to be the taco industry. what will things look like in the future? the manager david, come to me, takes the audience on a johnny. where did we go wrong? he asked, what can we do differently to ensure the next 10 years will be best to the story ends in the good 20 says he want to just be people on the mirror for them to see that this is exactly what i'm doing. so what can i do? so the other thing is it's just a reflection of your life. so from the reflection, you can understand a noise like a mirror. if you have a something, i don't know if this then is painful, you know, to try to clear that that. so this is exactly what we had to save ponies activists

know. people here are faced with x, a central problems, shock, how much a lee was sold in this village. a 2 hour drive from a bus with his 50 castle. but now his hood is dying of starvation. take one of them . oh grandma, i have to buy the cabs milk because their mothers have no milk to suckle them and one sec. while i warn you, they don't even have the strength to stand up. they don't have the energy to graze on the field spa screen. chuck, how much of lee well has to help them up today. he's assisted by some of david colored room is active, come and see touring the area. i am a senior and we're here because we are working on a program on the environment. mostly what we're doing is looking at a community resilience to us climate change. as we can see that the, the way that part does that change, you can see that the claimant is northeast was somebody else, but for one,

the dry season is guessing hunger. sometimes it doesn't drain for months on and now this is a group has invited locals to a workshop to talk about their troubles, to join the team, hopes participants can posts on what they learn here to other villages. yes, i know. one of them is 68 year old kid. i'll walk, you told me. hello, courtney somebody. let me does. everyone plans the treaties or it will be good to the environment. when i see the apple to living conditions will be better to connect people people, and that will keep people healthy and enjoy yourself and go ahead and take them to the retired civil servants has planted a range of trees from pasadena to blue gum named trees. they provide shade and protect the ground from drawing out locals feld trees to clear the line for agriculture, but that makes the ground even dryer. so how they still put the end

up, resulting to selling charcoal, but that's made from trees. so they locked in a vicious circle in the workshops, facilitated by parent n g o safe? kenya, the safe quantity team helps locals, develop alternatives up to 2 months of consultations and conversations. the senior groups latest tourist drawing to a close. now. besides kenya and g o aims to boost people's resilience and meet the climate crisis and inspire them to find solutions. the audience have got the message, the most of them i think, given. i have learned that when we manufacture charcoal, it has many negative effects on our land. it might that i'm a cool book. i think the, the things will change because there will be no more cutting down of trees. and if

people get tree siblings, they will plant them and the current situation will improve. i got to see how can i like you to me is also among the audience history planting has often been marked by his neighbors. no, he's been vindicated. and he's determined to keep plants in new trees, and hope small villages will follow his lead. it's the only way they can secure the future. one of the big purchases themself, mode informing its emphasis on the widespread use of antibiotics for trips in large stock based can lead to an empty buck to real resistance in both animals and people . what, what's the alternative one next report we had to nothing gone. yeah, for most, assigning, says, exploring the benefits of apply in or read both tennessee pos

tend to be a good bundle is. do you warming has heard today? the live stock farmer uses indigenous medicines and herbal remedies, all based on knowledge passed down to him by his grandparents. here in the past on google when gone as upper east region, animals are vulnerable to diseases like gold plague, livestock dysentery, and parasitical infections that cause stomach bloating. once you have that, you will call and then when a man i have williams in my stomach because i'm making them sick at a new policy. so i have to get mahogany tree bog mixed up with other native hubs. you can give them several doses of a 3 days on this mixture, kills the ones with a new phone and a, some of this knowledge of them. additional properties of plants and herbs is invaluable both for the regions, farmers and their herds. and for researchers, that's because to be a good time this part of a major interdisciplinary project to implement f,

no veterinary medicine and gonna of the at the center for plant medicine research and the town of men pump acquired them not far from the capital lacrosse scientists. are investigating the healing properties of native plants the government originally established the facility to provide alternative health care to local people. now it's carrying out research into animal health. but the laboratory here has been studying the chemical and pharmaceutical properties of plans for some time now. awful course was to look awful. what does the terms cheap of the splunk? what is the ballots to us to get this of this plot and release them with the disease is stuck. the same thomas for them to be just clue to be cheating with in gun a 10 percent of live stock succumb to disease in

a country with few trained veterinarians, farmers often rely on the advice of tabel harder and other locals who recommend medicine sold and open markets like this one, young regulated misuse and over use of antibiotics can lead to high levels of antibiotic residues in animal products. and that can encourage antibiotic resistance, which affects the health of those live stock and people who consume animal products . meanwhile, 75 percent of live stock and gonna are resistant to the antibiotics used to treat them at the same time. many live stock owners don't trust durable medicines which aren't scientifically tested and don't come with a company leaflet. and packaging was, we provide this information where this project is it that would provide this evidence of disappointment. it says which a gauge the disease that's we are what you studied really, what,

what japan dots these met says final vicious good specificity mentioned the project to simulate the bonding no longer has to rely on the plants in the forest. the project gave him exclusive use of an herb garden. so remember that he's one of a selected group of herbalists who are receiving support from the s no veterinary medicine project. on this protected patch of land. he's planting a variety of native plants, including mahogany and oak trees and dogwood doll. uh, but you have to you, these plans. patients are hard to find out like when you know what to do and there aren't any more of them nearby that. that's why the project is helping us to both planned and protect them so that when we need them that they'll be easily available to. we've got the c o 2 native plants, carnes, or an eco friendly source of medicines for traditional practitioners. like to me, a good idea of if this project catches on, gone, could become a 4 runner in f. no veterinary medicine for the waste is

a big issue on our planet. while the people faced the vision of those of too much vision equality needs to be dealt with all the global scale. yeah, absolutely. crease it. yeah. really. one slot or full, produced for human consumption is lost west. it was white. you know, next report we had to germany to see how food was kind of, let's be transformed into something really useful. let's find a more fail fred, in germany around $1700000.00 tons of a goods off for a new weight each year. some gets fed to animals or turned into bio gas, but much ends up rushing away the dumb, festive kind of because we're a small bakery like us. it's about 10 percent less, but at industrial bakeries in supermarkets, roughly 30 percent just gets tossed. but they can do to evict ship wow, who found

a way to recycle his old bread? p. does it using the bakery ovens risk that you owe heat? so he doesn't waste energy either. the roasted bread is then ground. it's now a valuable commodity. just what professor thomas books from unix technical university needs the i brought the price supplies solid and liquid, seen and don't think it will use them for donuts. it's the season. doesn't look good. i made for you this. you must, the wonderful. i'll take it with me now. there's some back till next time, 5 at the technical university of munich biochemist must mood months or he has developed a method to extract oil from old bread. first, the gram bread is mixed with an enzyme that transforms the starch into sugar

places, special east fung dyer will be added that fee to the sugar then you said it would be small at the beginning and it's of odd shape when it starts to eating more sugar would be more around and coming the, it's something l as the oil, 2 sides some small, a bunch of quite a bit bodies we have now, and then the next step would be to destroy that said was, and get the all else people have been implying this method for the close to a century the they needed talk sold and it's to access the oil. then mastery discovered an enzyme that cuts open the some will the beast, the enzyme derived from a mushroom, this enzyme is completely non toxic. the goal of his research is different by contrast, blonde is not required to produce e style. all it takes is a fermentation tank, like the ones used to make

b a and it works with things other than old bread. a vision complex of almost all, we have completely self sufficient. when it comes to rule materials music, we can use almost any food lice, including rice types of uh, sweet potatoes and corn offices cuts off the you can use all of the plant. i'm not just the edible pencil, so i'm, i'm even the coolant stokes, out by mice, and as on the solely beast, oil tastes very mild. so it can be used in almost anything the bakery when due to a big jump, one works can meet its need for the fence almost entirely with dale bread. but how could all the bakeries benefit from this discovery? to me, when i pick a high twenty's, several bakeries can good together to buy a film and taishan saying, can you see how much east oil they can produce from the lift, the bread? that way the risk isn't so great. and at some point everyone might be able to use their own bread to make french fries at home. why not?

i don't let me, let me get back on the other home. this. new to the big shift blind uses the fresh east oil to make a special treat. the recycled oil is used in the dose plays. i'm spelling of the chocolate brioche. so if you're going to succumb to temptation at least, do it sustainably. wow, that's really very delicious. and it's revolt is also about food, but something very different. know, what does it mean a lot of ice cream, and most of us have a have for it's live that might ease the stroke very slip. but i don't think i would actually find this in that coffee in cape town. so tough because, well, we're heading to next. so let's take a look at bon tripled. the the welcome to a place where we live in africa through hadn't made pension and dice. if you're craving

an old fashioned chocolate strawberry, or not the ice cream cone, you're looking in the wrong place here at the top. the top is that the ice cream flavors on spied by african super fluids like tiger not sole government. ty, apple, this little ice cream shop and cape tons alternative bobo observe, which we saw that is no longer a hidden gym, just for locals to p. what changes the flavors every week and there anything but vanilla? so they're making cup into efficient tuffy actually. so this is a little efficient as it gets in the continental africa, you get in comb, goes about with them being below we have, you know, if west africa as well, typically people washouts or inside the salt in is. but in this point, as we have to these are the thoughts and is to provide flavor for the ice cream. so good tuffy caramel. so to kind of by the name copy toppy is a play on google's 1st name, but it also means sweet sweet in his mother tongue shown the 36 year old molecular

biologist loves to play with different flavors so far this in bob we and has created more than $600.00, each one more unique than the last top us these his ice cream as an ode to the african continent in a couple of that, that'd be your identity when i go across the continent. i mean, drew a full range of what they're going to miss of in terms of flavors. and i like celebrating the similarities and highlighting and celebrating the differences we have as a people in the continent as well. yeah. say, find ingredients i'm over africa being is in different ways by different people. so we're talking like it was the i bisk is dial. uh, but i guess a lot whole in jet. uh like is endless. yeah. so they've been something from the continent probably going to try putting placements on or what starts adults as a hobby has now become tough. t was full time job and passion by creating an afrocentric menu, well disrupting traditional food culture. he wants to spock

a dialogue about africa's di both history and lifestyle, and decala nice. the mindset of cape towns, foods. so i'm interested in creating composition around going back to the foods that involves with the people in the land of his continents, over the thousands and many thousands of tens of thousands of years. what's often the case on the continent is we take moments to be black, but the rest of our lives is very, you're being very european. so the way we dress, the foods we consume, if we farm and exports is really important to me that between bracey i look, i did but what does ice we made out of dried fish actually taste like i can do like a salt in this of the fish, as well as like the rich sweetness and the fracturing does from like the caramel

and the tough feet. it's like a familiar name up within with a twist. i like the whole idea of like, economizing back into the home indigenous davis, inducing this case to the, from the colonizing food culture and making africans proud of their own color. natalie, history and identity. that's what he goes. this stands for and he's got plenty of ideas up his sleeve, b a and liquor on next on his experimentalist, the to, well, that has suddenly given me food full thoughts and i hope it has for you as well. that's it for this week's edition of week off we go. thank you for watching. i am a sandra holmes that we know the signing of from com. paula right to in uganda, by sunrise. see you again next week and to all of us all day, if you have any ideas on how to make up the line that's
