is only about what's going on in the stories industry. instead of being discussed across the continent, dw, and use africa every friday on the w. the we are facing a lot of complex challenges these days. but sometimes the answers can be surprisingly simple. simplicity often has the benefits of being more widely affordable to hello and welcome to the addition of eco africa. i am chris that lives in legal some idea. great to have you with us. yes. what's coming up and so that the saving trees inside the providing
8:31 pm
clean drinking water income. the room always did you those magazine. he's helping farmers in gone up and supporting slot slicked. and so, you know, jerry and she a floating is increasing c, v. a problem on legals as well as nearby legal states are among places. hot sheets are reports all waiting to find out more about the causes of the problem of what can be done to help during various seasons. this is a common sighting levels. even just motor train falls treats often get flooded quickly or illegals. what's that you've never far away? the city understood are located on the cost surrounding lagoon with several reverse flow into in reason to you as many residents of had to leave their homes due to flash flooding. like here in these neighborhoods in equal road to in the north of
8:32 pm
legal state, say it's $0.39 every year after that tax we've been experience in florida. i am serious. yeah. because this is my house as i'm here. so those who did not have the moves, so you know, to fix the house. i have to move forward it to say that the houses in the flooded areas. what bills 2000 and that's a 3 pond it's. it is not the government's responsibility. they say to one residents of the dangers of this case, we would not deal with a leg down all those to be the big houses we idea and also forced to do the houses . we'll do that, but we'll have, by the time you should know the plaster time we do a tommy showing they've built a house is such a place that is because of lot but flooding is occurring more regularly. even in both areas. we legally build houses. the reason is of course,
8:33 pm
liquids is tropical payment. heavy, don't pause. i'm not uncommon during the rainy season, but in the past few decades with apartments here have changed. rainfall has become less frequent but far heavier as a result of climate change. temperatures in the most of the ups of more moisture, which leads to more intense precipitation. on top of these level c, p as expanded massively over the past century on flood prone marshlands and flood plains, liquids is costly and what the phones have been dramatically transformed seems colonial times making the problem was this been brought to you deposition on developments in, in mega states us, you know, it's a very small states, less than 2000 square meters, but it has about 20000000 people. and you, you know what that means for development. so every se, pays people who just wants to find a way to deal with the policies,
8:34 pm
and it does not out that we do not of the that's a call style of building. we still bill today or is on saturday. so we take up all the spaces and the lead to or no space fall, drainage a 0 for not turn it all out, absorption of what the so when he prints in labels, the water cannot be properly drained from the streets drains that are often poorly built and blocked by rubbish, which is all too often dumped on the streets. nearly 2024, the level states government introduce a bond on single use. plastics likes tyrell form packaging to tackle the problem. there has been more improvement, but the problem still persists. that is why these n g always taking things seem to be on how much those are activities now is to make sure that this doesn't get into, i really just doesn't get into our canals so that in building guessing to our breaks and it goes and gets on our the cheese. so we're suffering from educating
8:35 pm
people. we're starting from real reinstating people. i'm says ties in them that this is a possible resource for you. this is why i knew it's channel to are recycling in me and was like a streams in, in labels. so that will not be in the g need. raising awareness is as important as wanting people when that is that fair to flooding that requires adequate monitoring and wanting systems. this is to a walk in progress. we have systems, we are, we monitor all the river, the level of reversal. we do have a couple of them around the city. go along quickly. i agree that there are lots enough legacy is projected to be the was biggest city by the end of the century. and large parts of its metropolitan area are a threescore flooding. more than half of residents, i believe, to leave within 500 meters of the cost of deluxe. and how is labels trying to cope
8:36 pm
with these special geographical setting? the echo atlantic is an area on the cities coastline that was reclaimed from the atlantic ocean. it was intended to become africa's due by much construction is totally free, is the area has been of the 1st town. we've just a few high rise buildings aimed at the wealthy to protect a cool atlantic. residents from russian and storm floods is the great wall of the levels. but experts say it was shifted russian to low income cost total areas on the site for me, royce and climate change is an ever present fact for all the cautions tech, for example, mccorkell, situated on the leg was let go and uninformed on the settlement. built partly on stilts. those houses are less affected by temper rises even what the levels. what's tom's flash floods and rising sea levels to putting the residents already picked cargoes, livelihoods to prevent further disasters like the one in equal row doing the not
8:37 pm
level steps change. he's needed unplugging guts is only a small 1st step. develop us need to allow for what lands areas in the city. and of course, above all, the international community needs to i didn't see cob global warming to europe. no way i'll say be on couple have re re team. the korea is by launching the business that produces eco friendly pen. so here is this 6 doing your bits. these old newspapers, they get to me a 2nd life of color pencils. it's a simple but effective process savvy and entrepreneurs love it. so markovich spent a long time protecting the product. she even gave up her career to stalls a company with her husband drive down last a few months back with
8:38 pm
a company have several missions of 1st mission is to make environmentally friendly products. but beyond the 2nd mission is to educate young people. because when you're, because we don't just want children to buy and choose how pencils we want them to learn about eco friendly practices through using them or do you think, you know, as a part of the richard ok? because last year for the machines, the markovich is used for production with design quite a couple themselves. the pencils of road and eco friendly, flower based plays to save energy, they don't use ovens. instead they lead the pencils to address the 2 days. timing newspapers into pencils, isn't a new identified in fox africa was the head of the get a company in kenya has been making pencils from newspapers for years. recycling saves trees. to reduce just one ton of paper, $24.00 trees. a cut down and sub you have the mock of it,
8:39 pm
just process 4 to 5 tons of nice paper. yes, producing around 3000 pencils a day. and just a few years that we could frontier pencil safety equivalent of a small forest. given me and i'm not sure what your packaging tells by us who we are to is not to the, the on the basketball boxes. we explained the ta pencils, a fully recycled book, but it's pretty no new trees will come down to make them an upper enough show. uh, the manufacturing process is energy efficient. uh. and the pencils are safe to use . uh, the enough show. okay. uh, the a live still farming also takes its tool alone, sees us land is cleared for grace in all the cultivates and we'll feed and the production contributes to greenhouse gas emissions in other ways. not culture. for example, it meet large quantities of climate damage in the same well,
8:40 pm
there is another climate friendly solution in the old rise in creamy canada that hasn't used milk from a calf slow to free steaks and chicken breast grown from cells. changing food is always like multi layered in a sense because it's so deeply ingrained in our culture and what we are some countries and us states of even preemptively band concert a could phase out traditional agriculture. but that's kind of the point. the livestock industry accounts for fairly large share all the worlds greenhouse gas emissions. like going products could put us on the road to redemption, but how they made and when will they actually see it as supermarket shelves? there's coaching mate growing from animal cells. these riley from le funds say that base stakes are close to being rolled out. yeah, so put, yeah, so the product is ready to go into and the quality and level of the sensory properties in the tastes flavor and texture is very high to the very high. this
8:41 pm
place full now is as modern and trendy as you'd expect from the bowl and start off . pull, move his focus on creating proteins which mimic way and use that in a traditional cheese making process. the taste test is coming up. the 1st. let's dive into why this quest to find alternatives exist in the 1st place. just how much the livestock industry contributes to climate woman greenhouse gases depends on who you ask. the u. n. food and agriculture organizations. most recent reports, cited $0.12, but other studies suggest figures as high as 20 percent. whatever the number of climate scientists can see that may st emissions particular li concerning that can be 80 times more harmful in terms of hating the atmosphere, then c o 2. and less stuck, a counselor about 30 percent of the world, maintain emissions, largely through calvin ups, deforestation,
8:42 pm
land and water use and loss stuck feita. also a major concerns. it makes more sense to broad use plans and directories and defeated to where i bought an early study by oxford university in 2011 reported cultivated made could produce up to 96 percent fueled greenhouse gas emissions. then lots stuck, thanks to using less land, was that and fate bought. the numbers here also contested. some studies claim cultivated meat and dairy will need to be run on renewable energy sources. if they are to retain lower emissions to come closer to actual dairy full use is what's called precision fermentation. the evolution of the process of dating back thousands of years. they take co g, a type of funky, which is use a lot in japanese because they feed and cement it to create a protein similar to way and then turn it into cheese. the company also plans on
8:43 pm
using an animal free casing protein that 1st needs a you approved the product like cheese where, you know, it is already a process product when you start with milk. and that there is a fermentation process already involved in the regular production of the product there. i think it's easier to say, hey, this just another for mentation step before that and to kind of get people to can, to convert in that sense. maybe we should just dig straight in and say, let's do it. we have a great fat, a cheese. so this one, i'd say the, the texture is a little bit still look away from luck. what you expect from the federal. yep. that the taste like the salting us and everything it's, it's really to wrap. it says it will initially be 10 to 20 percent more expensive than mid range chase. so we're still talking luxury prices for most people, but it's not outrageously expensive either. and right. the claims fullness cheese will eventually silva cheaper than traditional dairy fermentation is just more
8:44 pm
efficient with resources than in and much more efficient. actually, the question of the cost is the price pretty much the only factor? gail. all right, that's the cheap. but what about that highly sought off the stake. there are quite a few companies out there working on coaching mates from base to chicken to fish, to flogger out of funds is just one of the handful that already have approval to sell their life. go and meet in their case in israel, the company said they will roll out within the next year, but admitted it will be a luxury item to begin with. so the in high end restaurants at a price similar to premium range based ignite, they might take 10 years to get to the main stream market. it won't happen overnight, just because it takes time to build production capacity to drive the costs down to build a supply chain. and this a bunch of studies showed custom is a still skeptical about how this alternative mate is made alice thumbs say they are
8:45 pm
following the same basic principles of segmentation. only they start with animal cells, fate and not to them in a buyer react up until they replicate only the edible part of the animals. we do it, animal cells on a lead products, the products, so it's the same cells phones the same ation time honored cell cultivation text me time when we just merge that to, to make a new combination to make a new cells we use are not genetically engineer and heal content to could engineer italy's palm and move to ban the production sale or in port of cultivated meat and animal feed. in 2023, the us states of florida and alabama followed suit with their own bands in 2024. i love that tape and that because that shows it's real. why would you buy and something that you don't believe is going to be come rather than the marketplace. so it's, it's also a great signal. i think that said like the big need is really concerned with it and
8:46 pm
the farming nobody's really concerned about that. the reasoning from politicians is that traditional agriculture has to be protected for speaking with that the traditional barry and farming industry to to grow proteins in a, in a, in a fermentation and good. you produce these products, you need nutrients. nutrients are coming from our field. so you will always have, you know, traditional farming as you know it, the market for these animal free alternatives is still very small. but if they can convince consumers, taste buds and bank balances more, people may jump on board, which can only be good news for the world's climate. i'd like to try, but sometimes it's hard to issue the approaches a just less effective as high tech ones on the roof and ease. yeah. and creek teams that mates in northern gone now and will breed as a drawing on indigenous knowledge to keel. the sick animals with scientific
8:47 pm
brackets tend to be a good bonded is the 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, a new go and gone as upper east region. animals are vulnerable to diseases like goat plague, livestock dysentery, and parasitical infections that cause stomach loading was the other day. you were to the man, i have looms in the stomach because i'm making them sick at a new phone. so i have to get mahogany tree box mixed up with other native hubs and give them several doses over 3 days. on this mixture kills the ones with a new phone. and some of of this knowledge of the medicinal properties of plants and herbs is invaluable. both for the regions, farmers and their herds and for researchers, that's because tim, be
8:48 pm
a good time this part of a major interdisciplinary project to implement f, no veterinary medicine and gone a at the center for plant medicine research in the town of men pump. ok, want them not far from the capital i cry. 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 off the course was to look out for what does the chemist cheap of these plans? what is the, what's the activities of this plus and release them with the disease is stuck dease and thomas for you know, beaches claim to be cheating with in gun
8:49 pm
a 10 percent of live stocks to come 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 with a company least sledge and packaging was we provide this information where this project is maybe that would provide this evidence of disappointment. it
8:50 pm
says which a gauge the disease that's we are what you studied really, what, what japan dots these met says final vicious output as a protest, i mentioned the project simply because i'm being no longer has to rely on the plans in the forest. the project gave him exclusive use of an herb garden to 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 thought what de la, but you haven't taught 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 me. this year to native plants, carnes, or an eco friendly source of medicines for traditional practitioners. like to me,
8:51 pm
a good idea. if this project catches on, gone, could become a 4 runner in f, no veterinary medicine. a fresh drinking water remains a luxury for many people. worldwide, more than to be young, people still don't have access to weeds. a simple device could help make a big difference. to build up a real says, well playing around and put pills a dilemma zone elementary school get to quenched as with the supply of clean water . something that can be taken for granted in by the, a village of the west of coming to the end of 2023. the school has had its fairly own what's up to if occasion device due to the field to is really effective is the children have been drinking the water for a whole year. and i haven't seen as many cases of diarrhea and what we collect to what you can see right to we play t's, even the really get you whatever comes out to solve remotely. the filter was
8:52 pm
made by kind of room based access to the african center for renewable energy and sustainable technology. it was adapted from the canadian model. the idea is ingeniously simple at the bottom of the containers, a nail or 5 gravel would send, scotts out on top. after being pulled in, the water is gradually purified, as it seems truly organic filters. but the vices manufacturer also work ships in banging the young people being trained here. then a variety of skills including how to build the filters, including ceramic versions. most of those are sold to private individuals, youtube and lightweight. the
8:53 pm
so won't be due to be seen of the committees weighs down the seats with you and see to yourself. we've developed 2 types of filters, the organic signed one and to see about mac filter. the 2nd one is more recommended for families from while gabby one is advisable for schools and other public buildings. and in general, for traditional gathering vent here, the sanskrit hasanti districts who had to send in the angle we supported by european organizations. and they need to offer a wide range of training programs. it's also able to distribute water filters free of charge around $100.00 today. normally, the filters don't come cheat suit. a lot of do not see you'll get includes that is likely more expensive to the toys that need to model costs. the activity ends of 75 bureaus. and the faulty needs are the equivalence of 150 euros. the ceramic fuel to
8:54 pm
that less than 25 years making it's more affordable for farmers, executive crews on board. the for the visa there was a source is available in the regions mounting what is the longest as was journey not least for transporting water. so village is tend to rely on local well, some parts of the country now have about a 100 square feet as well as can get there was an out at the top. although the mains want the supply as well as funding. gimme a news only to the to just make it easy to kind of we need talk to a young one day to get with a 4 children decision on the neighborhood where we go days without the means. what to it usually takes us to us to go to the will to fix some water, which is very demanding. is a clipping either from the water from wells is also not fit to drink with the poor
8:55 pm
quality in many cases, due to the blowing technique, safe conservationists and also drilling with alternating purpose 10 to to lead to chemical pollution. people don't realize that it comes in the fontes and that's where the filters can help out to gain, utilize and impurities in the war to a prime example of his benefits. being to school children out of the village of banking. that's all for today would love to hear what you think about the show. so feel free to contact us at eco, a dw dot com for moist byron stories. you can also search for eco africa online. thanks for watching for now. it's good bye for me, chris. i lives in lagos, nigeria, c, you x, die by or the
