9:30 am
doesn't have the make up your own mind. me. the modern technology is part of the law. every the lies. you'll probably usually need right now to watch this show. today we're going to see how technology can help us and environments and how it work. it would make you kind of improved for a while lives where it has so much to offer curriculum. so lagos, nigeria, welcome to eco offrey. got caught in the renewal, but, but as a set of goal takes a social media as a whole lot more amazing. also,
9:31 am
nigeria, but what a vibrator punch needs to be done. and adopt into the drugs k f almost straight to get calls for com mills. in the cause of, while i research for eco africa, it's hard for me to meet so many people working hard to solve problems. some are rows of building stuff, biddable, but this is a the process such as in the garden uh with a climate innovation center is acting as a kind of incubator for green stock tops. where ring at least 5 appeal maze on inspiring as they look. these plans and plans ways are being used to grow a flourishing business. he lives in close up to 5 appeal is thrown out every day. their roots,
9:32 am
a vegetable except popular food in gonna to s allow more food. and if it needs that cool, decided, oh, this vegetable waste was wasted rescue in the last 10 years. you have run a business specialized in growing oyster mushrooms. the code division process uses as of course, ro waste some of which would otherwise be banned in the fields. nothing is coming to community. i realize most of them is on top of the and it's just ways to dispose of the course of with, with us or they do. it's been the phone lines. we put the line for the next time uses in. when they do that, it's cause i'm restricted diseases and lump cancer and even damaged toward life. and i realize because i actually use, of course, always to for just some, some beneficial moses only that it was a bit slow, but see what's put on our table and then with income. that's why i choose this now
9:33 am
business and from i will leave your che also profits from that's the reason is seduce mainly nice one. had to hector's misquoted vision, produces a lot of agriculture are arrested you. but they play and the business came to a community where i no longer been my farm and i'm like, i always had to go nowadays. i gather the waste from my farm and sell it to the last year on company in the village of hawk from paying us that i waste. and they sometimes gave us the organic compost from the factory of to production. so we kind of use it as specialize there on the farm and don't need to spray chemicals. i g g, a library is upper ne, quite me williams. stuff that accompany them on to fuck chase products from the maureen got tree. it's leaves 14 important 14 and 45 seats, as well as a wide range of white domains in monroe's. a graduate of mit in the ways we on
9:34 am
sunday to the set top 10 years ago, making powders juices and creams. but he says, interpreters and gun, our fees, a lot of challenges. we have had situations where, you know, we're trying to get a local certification and we need all the requirements. everything has even been done. there's a letter saying is approved and it takes 14 months, not an exaggeration, 14 months to get the actual physical certificate. elaine c process, that means that the lease and the products rich in the market, but squarely, williams filled out an extensive and it's week of maureen, a pharmacist in the region around as a boy farm is having always seen maureen as a profitable plant in a bunch of mount the wick with the company, the regular custom is for the refresh leaves suited for processing. in the last 10
9:35 am
years farm is i've also planted around 2000000 more of these miracle trees from seeds. the harvest is sticking from the phones to a factory area, so i'm 56 low me just away from gun is cut the stomach try yet the leaves i tried, processed and packaged. also for export we believe that what's going on. i should also be processing done. so we do all the primary processing of our products savings on here right here and gonna leaves fresh leaves and dry leaves and powders and teams right here and gone. so that way we're creating jobs and i'm happy to share that we've now we not employed nearly 90 people across out about the change of assess the level of business, just like he's also receive support from the gunner clements innovation st. that it offers red blood trainings and also carpet calls for star tops. we provide you with a business advisor and how works one to one with you and your team members. so the business advisor works with you on such and relates as much which is right
9:36 am
to it to bring about operational efficiency. but also to ensure that you know, you minimize your call and footprint like the mushroom growers, with the support of the innovation st that they used exclusively, locally solid materials for the factory. production is also low emission. only to compose that eventually, double waste is needed for their mushroom spoils. the mushrooms are ready to have missed. after a month they money, so he was generally able to miss just the cause of that demand that's uh customers i knew for every day the company sells around 1000 kilograms of buy some mushrooms a month. this, that tops welcome this difficult means is sold to the firm is so bold in technology category l farm is in the fields. i can also help with selling the produce is some of the brand number follows. i turned into the social media to
9:37 am
reach out to new customers in the seats is now these ad briggs was us get to boost . yeah. income that other farmers and have fun. see don't. i'm. that's not really my main shoots. his life is clinton for his thousands of follow it on tick tock. and this is popularity online has grown, so have has sales. if you do it, i was just making the videos for fun and i didn't even know the impact social media was having danielle, but lately i've had a lots of clients with, especially from europe, or even from a distance. i do see what i'm doing. my may is among a new crop of some is revolutionizing synagogues, agricultural sick to using social media. it allows him to bypass costly middleman and negotiate directly with customers,
9:38 am
cutting costs and providing that personal touch a magic. but if it, if i prefer to make my own videos good, because you don't have to pay to do it. so the 5th on what do you do? you are marketing. so you get out what's in selling g. right. gets out what you've been working on that be able to present that to say for me if it was much more natural and people are much more receptive to it. and they mentioned that even if it doesn't have the quality, even if it doesn't have the image or the sounds that people like, what's natural, you show what you've really done without editing them up or doing anything that they have, the more that's not fair, yet. some of these so called ad grow influences have now set up their own consultancies. no guy is one of them, was she? she is videos and self is online offering tips on how to grow and have a crops and manage funding projects. so i started using social networks in september, when i set up a been a agribusiness. it's about getting more visibility and finding people in general,
9:39 am
the customers i work with, i find on social networks, they contact me directly on instagram. so i give them my number and then i visit their fields and those, and now i help them with production. current lease, then it goes agricultural sector makes up only a small proportion of the countries g, d p. but it's new government wants to cut impulse and a cheap food sovereignty in the near future, offering 5th child ground for this new generation of tech savvy farm is to thrive and grow as follows. are used to working with nature. but those are for those who leave and cities awful find ourselves far removed from mother nature. many cities don't even have much of greenery or trees that leads to pull a quality. rising temperature pushes out wildlife. with more and more people move into cities around the world, these need to change what, how we cross the gemini now for some possible ideas. concrete,
9:40 am
every last gray has replaced green. we constantly building more higher foster concrete production is responsible for around 8 percent of c o. 2 emissions worldwide. and as i said, there's a full send us way using a dwindling results, namely signed and various other fossil results is that we can't use forever. we have to think about how we can build most sustainably on the cro. we absolutely need more greenery analyses because they are overheating. quite some verdict. us as a tool, if you think about it architecture and nature, diametrically opposed, we built primarily to protect ourselves from wild life or the weather for example. so not being able to go to ways destroying nature in some way when we build new stuff. but you know, that's what's us for them to develop. but what if we went to a with nature, you know, building rather than against. ready an exhibition in berlin,
9:41 am
new showcasing projects that seek to do just that. how do trees grow together to form a structure? this question has fascinated architect feds and that includes big for 20. he wants to connect buildings with trees and is constructing a kind of tree house in the city. ready across from the corporate, so you have to work a lot with others. that's it's interdisciplinary will tell you what his botanists, forestry scientists, civil engineers, ecologists, we'll work together to pull on knowledge from different disciplines. so it can be used in the design in process. i'm going about some pilot project in the southern gemini shows what the building made of trees could look like. after 12 years, the plane tree team is over 10 meters high towed and then the neighboring tend to go. the children use the shady space inside to play. otherwise it's home to insects and the the, the trunks of the young plane trees of branch downs and grinding together. the
9:42 am
architects checked the gross regularly plain trays found tatum on old 6 levels at the same time. each in its own sounds of dogs they say appealing to reset the plane trees outside of that plant. as an inch connected with the plain trees, the rounded off in front then screwed together. 2, i'm glad to the grubbing to one unit for walk. then they can remove the boxes. ready they prompted mold in 1000 plane trees, because like with many of and trees, some of the seedlings died from disease or frost. in the years to come, the tree tops will grow together to full memory. a quick option might be fungus. this a blue hot is made of wood, and fungus tunnels, the surface itself to the touch that the panels are right bust. so how do you get the hot materials from soft fungus? here to nature is the inspiration. the tend to fungus likes to grow on deciduous
9:43 am
trees. attaching itself to the wood. biologist, liza, that's the help. welcome to fungi house coats of 1810 to fungus, and the board tree. she needs a source, it comes through. it's on the tree. so hard. if is i, mrs. is this song, this is great for building just just because through the myself am the root structure of the fungus that grows on the ground residues brought together. and that into linking creates a most stable material instead of some beautiful scottsdale, that makes it ideal for the developers of the fund. guy house, the collective of scientists, architects and artists, gross fund, guy coaches, and mixes them with various other materials, always including organic waste, like wood, shavings, own minutes. then they press the mixed it into shape. after a few weeks they kill off the phone. guess by heating it the material then remains solids. it's already used for insulation,
9:44 am
but building with it is nice. scientists in the maybe a, a further ahead. voice to mushrooms trying, using a similar process. they've used the remains of the mushroom as a compass it material molding blocks from the mixed together with architects. they've used them to build the 1st house. the whole climate hand makes it possible that the team wants to facilitate affordable and environmentally friendly housing. african countries are also ahead on clay construction, traditional month homes with large knee replaced in cities during the colonial era . now they're making a come back, especially in west africa, in government knowledge houses being built with compacted models. they provide a good indo climate and stay cool in money. the traditional nubian volts has also being rediscovered it's spelled with money breaks fidget together with motels in europe. and the a few plan is a working with much like australia is mossey. nicole who even produces logic
9:45 am
projects with round us wills, but must break buildings or otherwise, ret here, from the start and does. and so it's a g, b as privilege of the west and well we no longer build with much during the industrialization of construction in the 19th century, much was replaced mainly by concrete. in other parts of the world, it still used turn around, 40 percent of the global population, living much houses today. we've just forgotten how to build this way around. how was the visit to see i'd like to live in the future in a fund guy house, a month house, or a house made of trees. and their cover, the actually like a combination of all 3 month breaks for the load bearing was fungus installation and trees on the outside. but the tree house when you're buying that, it's almost a cost that takes nick, come, and instead of big machinery, you can just use to build with trees. something very simple and cheap,
9:46 am
but in the long term, i think we need to be more daring. and uh, so which ones are you looking at holland? well, if this was difficult and i think this is the future, we need to what much more with nature and of the game stage. and doing that to that nature of the as a number of other materials like c weight, which could also be suitable for construction even if for such is still in its infancy. the projects on display show how all could tech to and housing could protect both the environment and us humans. we've looked at ideas for new homes. but what the of all the buildings that already exist, all about greenery or roof tops to improve equity, reduce about the heat, about just the sides. we stay in euro. well, i'm next for pull that head to death, city. offer up to them. were experts i explored the vast potential of roof tops.
9:47 am
okay, me on fun, rinse them, lives, gardening and his workplace is this roof of a rush or dumb. office building is commitment to looking after plants and smiles up here goes beyond the joys of gardening, for the state. it isn't to belong, i cool, but it's becoming increasingly important for cities to store walter helping more and more water is flowing in the city office told me walter, them flood speakers label low and the sellers, the street and the tunnels are full because we have to find ways to store walter with green smart roofs and it's the actually madonica devolved her to find it. like on this office building the 1st of its kind to our tanks under the roof that can store rain water. guarding the sewer is against flooding during heavy rainfall. the roof this acts as a sponge, doesn't clip it, others evolve here, the flu. i've gotten a device that communicates call to magically with a weather server and checks whether there is enough capacity for more rain. walter, i guide if not to open up, what's your history and also
9:48 am
a better thing to take buddies. my uncle went about to better go through a piping system on the buildings exterior and the future. the water will be used for the garden or to flush the toilets in the building, but the system is expensive and too heavy for many buildings. so for now, the roof tongues are still the exception. for the new box, it isn't yet requiring to do anything with the roof. so if new buildings, but even just on existing buildings, there are around 400 square kilometers the flat tories area plus the picnic ring cells. and so we could connect tool to build insect hotels, to bio diversity orange to solar collectors. there's a numerous potential that is being exploited yet or few more innovations, such as lighter materials are needed. but the project on this plan is clear to have more smart roofs become a spun city. when we come back to africa now, and it's often said, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. well,
9:49 am
we're about to meet the man who was loved to see beauty. he'd all use you objects and then make it visible to others. i mean, does that it's is done in fashion. just take a look at this week's, go in your bits. this is not your every day clean up. permission to bleak. a fidget you cool is collecting, discarded cons, and there's no shortage of time metering. the street is going to turn them into 2 pieces of off log, scale, images of iconic because i'm selling this done. use this bridge gauze, and i believe it's bought both ways. he's going to provide this office off at one b. if mike was tom. well, what to live? it's gone costs um 2, a month. after this, do use this up to $1000.00 fragments of time, depending on the size of the off for 1st reading system, disinfect the con,
9:50 am
the selected, then 70 to strips. i'm nice that me support some $50.00 to $60000000.00 tons of aluminum waste generated globally every year and several 100009, jared low, 20 to so one of the most recycled materials to be case out as even a truck that attention within the drink industry this full of traits was commissioned by the managing director of unit live. i am gonna chris will caesar is supposed to be case of cycling mission as a way of reducing waste. con, need to be disposed of while they are using the right way. and so please do not just lit up the environment with that please dispose of property a cheap week a if indeed you cool describes himself as an environmental artist on the street to
9:51 am
process as a for most of the diversity with the suffering of the planet to pop on the journey depends. our environmental policies are taking. i'm thinking it's the safety environment. well, well it's a talent. now as you are probably aware where the apartments are changing all over the world and becoming more predictable. that's close to likely by use of fossil fuels repeat to droughts in northern kenya. it's additional cut to farm and extremely difficult, so far most of finding new ways of adapting to the changing climates in the heart of central kenya. this site is becoming increasingly common panels wondering across the once capital dominated landscapes of light keeps us for hudson. and like 65 year old of july, he mohammed, these kennels are lifeline. corporate can i see the before the drought?
9:52 am
i and heard of the cattle. but when the drought head oh, but one of the cattle died and now i'm on the left with one second, the more. yeah. the 2020 drought is one of the worst. can you? who's seen in decades across the country, thousands of 100 is lost. the capital as positive disappeared, leaving families devastated. and without the main source of livelihood. up to 3600000 capital perished. these go to the need, traditional live stock, the abdullah, he's family has left. they now mainly has camels from their number one day where and cattle is difficult when the pastor is destroyed, in panels are easier to rear. they feed on trumps and survive and harsher conditions. when the pass code dries out in the casual di, oh, i know like g p a is feeling the impact of drought spreading south unpredictable rains autonomy, it's one screen puff just into barren land,
9:53 am
neighboring some brewery faces. similar challenges as the ongoing drought means families have to travel long distances to fetch bullshit for themselves. and the animals 26 year old p t most sonya has been full to adapt. the hudson has also switched from capital to camels. say again, but yeah they do. when the job came in we only had a physical capital. we sold them in both 5 camels and one from the camels will help us survive until it rains again. love a we for us or you can just look on the site like many in the region. lasonya has land camels with their ability to survive on less water and feed on tough vegetation a best associated to the new reality. they can lose 30 percent of that body weight and survive. and they also have a high, a milky open couse. but the move from capital to camel heading is not without
9:54 am
challenges. cartridge the decision period, this 9 months. i to companies that decision period this uh, 11 to 14 months. so. ready 2 months to play cummins a to declare a longer time compared to problem. and so it's may not be possible to get technical. let me cut the comments as quickly as possible. so how does in central kenya, the connection to the traditional livestock remain strong? let loose it then are you what's the range retard, and we cannot sell 2 or 3 candles to purchase a cow. the purchase is milk ill. but for now the switch, the channels is helping them build resilience for the future to be there. and they talk to you about the reduced assisting the communities and we can do to manage well the process is that they can do
9:55 am
a little additional crazy way or they can handle because who it is. so use dealing drugs isn't about today telling you that do so that to the, in the communities i don't and atlanta community point. it's the traditional pastor list way of life is to continue communities have to find ways to share their results is and find claimant tricity and alternatives. camels can provide them with much needed stability. and so it's amazing animals. and that brings us to the end of visitation of eco africa. i hope you've enjoyed all stories as much as i have if you'd like to seals reported on any particular environmental issues there rights to us at ico a d, w dot com for now is good bye for me, chris, the lens, a nigeria the
