the way they are and when all the solutions mapped out, navigating a changing world. now on youtube, the modern technology is part of our everyday lives. 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 work you would make you can improve for a while lives where it has so much to offer. i am chris alone. so lagos, nigeria, welcome to ico offrey got caught in the video, but the bottom is set a goal take to social media as

a whole lot more amazing. also nigeria, but what of these 5 really populates, related and adopting to the droughts k f almost straight calls for com mills in the calls of while i research for eco africa, it's hard for me to meet so many people working hard to solve problems. some are also building stuff biddable, but this is the process such as in gun uh, we applied made innovation center is acting as a kind of incubator for brain stock tops or ring a lease sort of appeal maze on inspiring as they look. these plans implants, ways are being used to grow, flourish in business. he lives in kilo's after 5 appeal is thrown out. every day. they're root vegetable, at least

a popular food in gonna says a lot more cool. and these are cool, decided, oh, this vegetable waste was wasted rescue in the last 10 years. they have run a business specialized in growing always the mushrooms. the closer vision process uses as of course, ro waste some of which would otherwise be banned in the fields. nothing is coming to community our lives, most of them is on top of the and it's a ways to dispose of the course of with, with us. all they do is to bend the from line to put the line for the next time he says, and when they do that, it's cause i'm frustrated diseases and lump cancer and even damage toward life. and i realize because that's really use, of course, always to do something beneficial, not just only that, it was a good school for it, see what's put on our table and then with income. that's why i to this now business

and from i believe yet, you also profits from that vision is screws mainly based on who to heck days, misquote. the vision produces a lot of agriculture are arrested. you might say bless. and the business came to a community, and when i no longer been my farmland, 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 around the farm and don't need to spray chemicals i g, g a properly. so for ne requirement williams started a company, the manufacturers products from the maureen got tree, its leaves contain importance puts in and $45.00 seats, as well as a wide range of white domains in minerals. graduates of mit in the ways william

funded, he's that top thing 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 lee and the products rich in the market that's granted. williams filled out an extensive and next week of maureen, the pharmacist in the region around as a boy farm is having always seen lorinda as a profitable plant in a month. now the wick with the company, the regular custom is for the fresh leaves suited for processing. and the last 10

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, make this away from gun is cut the stomach try yet, the leaves are dried, processed, and packaged, also for exports. we believe that what's going on actually also be processing done . so we do all the primary processing of our products. see that's on here right here and gone. no 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 our valley chains just as the level of business, just like he's also receive support from the ghana clements innovation of think that it offers red blood trainings and also carpet tiles plus the tops we provided with the business advisor and how works $1.00 to $1.00 with you and your team members. so the business advisor works with you on such and related activities,

right, to it, to bring about operational efficiency. but also to ensure that you know, you minimize your call them footprints like the mushroom groceries with the support of the innovation st that they used exclusively, locally solid materials for the factory production is also low emission quantity to compose beneficial, double waste is needed for their mushroom spoils to mushrooms and ready to have missed after in mind the money. so he was generally able to miss just the cause of that the month that's customers. i'm your new for every day. the company so, so around 1000 kilograms of buy some mushrooms a month. this, that tops welcome this difficult means is sold to the farm is so both in technology category help farmers and the fields others can also help with selling the produce. is set to go

a great number of fathers outside into the social media to reach out to new customers in the seats is now these add rigs. was us get to boost yeah. income that to other farmers. and how fun see don't. i'm definitely my main shoots, his latest clinton for his thousands of follow it on tick tock. and this is popularity online has grown. so have has sales with, if you do, i was just making the videos for fun and i didn't even know the impact social media was having danielle, most likely 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 the new crop of sam is revolutionizing seeing the goals agricultural sick to using social media. it allows him to bypass costly middleman and negotiate directly with customers,

cutting costs and providing that personal touch a magic. but if it, if i prefer to make my own videos, 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 inside. you get that, all right. gets out what you've been working on that be able to present that to say for me it feels much more natural and people are much more receptive to it. and they mentioned, even if it doesn't have the quality, even if it doesn't have the image, all the sounds that people like, what's natural, you show what you've already done without editing, i'm not doing anything to have them on desktop for having it. some of these so called ed gro, influences have now set up their own consultancies. no guy is one of them. 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,

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 knows, and now i help them with production car, at least in a gulf agricultural sector makes up only a small proportion of the countries g, d p. but it's new government wants to cut imports 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. the farmers 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, but leads to pull a quality. rising temperature pushes out wildlife with more and more people move into cities around the weld face need to change what, how we cross the gemini. now for some possible ideas. concrete,

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 cross. we absolutely need more greenery enough to use because they are overheating. so this is ridiculous, as it's a cool, 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 that means the ways destroying nature in some way when we build through attempts and it was just a, you know, that's what this to them. but what if we were to a, with nature, you know, building rather than against an exhibition in berlin. they showed casing projects

that seek to do just that. how do trees grow together to form a structure? this question has fascinated architect. imagine and looked big for 20 years. he wants to connect buildings with trees and is constructing a kind of tree house in the city. ready cost to the corporate, so you have to work a lot with other associates, interdisciplinary will tell you what his botanists, forestry, scientists, civil engineers, ecologist, we'll work together to pull on knowledge from different disciplines. so it can be used in the design in process. i'm going to play a project into southern germany shows what a building made of trees could look like of to 12 years. the plane tree team is i have a 10 me to sign a tour to then the neighboring kingdom. 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

architects checked the gross regularly plain trays found tatum on all 6 levels at the same time. each in its own sounds of dogs they say appealing to areas of the plane trees outside of that plant. as an inch connected with the plane trees, the rounded off in front, the then screwed together to i'm glad you the grubbing to one unit for walk. then they can run these the boxes. ready they prompted more than 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 igloo hot is made of wood and fungus tunnels, the surface itself, 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

trees attaching itself to the wood. biologist visa, that's the health. welcome. the fun guy house cultivating tend to fungus and the live or a tree. she needs a source. it comes through. it's on the treat as it's so hard to, and this is i'm, it's, this is this song, this is great for building this just because through the, my cell in the route structure of the fungus that grows on the ground residues are brought together. and that into linking creates a most stable material, introduced extra 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,

but building with it is nice. scientists in the maybe a, a further ahead. oyster machines 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 time at hand makes it possible that the team wants to facilitate affordable and environmentally friendly housing. african countries are also ahead enclave 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 are being built with compacted modules. they provide a good indo climate and stay cool in money. the traditional nubian volts hes also being re discovered it spelt with money breaks, put it together with motels in europe, and the a few plan is a working with much like austria's mouse here. nicole who even produces logic

projects with round rules, but much brick buildings are otherwise, ret, here, from the side and business. 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 around 40 percent of the global population live in 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 fun guy house, a much house or a house made of trees, partition or come to the find actually like a combination of all 3 month breaks for the load bearing wools. fungus installation and trees on the outside, but the tree house in the bottom, it's almost a cause that takes nick, come and instead of big machinery you can just use comes to build with trees.

something very simple and cheap, but in the long term i think we need to be more diary the month of looking at holland. well, if this was the to cause nice, think this is the future. we need to what much more with nature and also against it to nature also 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 grid, the re or roof tops to improve equity. i reduce about heat about just the sides will 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.

okay, me on the fund rent some looks 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 prolong cycle, but it's becoming increasingly important for cities to store walter helping more and more water is flowing in the city office told me what's your down floods frequently for low and the sellers. the street during the tunnels are full because we have to find ways to store walter with green smart roofs and it's the actually my doc divide her up to find it like on this office building the 1st of its kind to our tanks under the roof. that can store rainwater, guarding the sewer is against flooding during heavy rainfall. the roof this ex, as a sponge, doesn't clip it, others evolve here at the flu. i've gotten a device to communicate automatically with a weather server and checks whether there is enough capacity for more rainwater guides. if not to open up, what's your history and also

a bit of english take by them on the, on comment about the better 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's just requiring to do anything with the roof. so if new buildings, but even just on existing buildings, there are around 400 square kilometers. it's flat tories area, plus the pit triggering sales. and so we could connect tool to build insect hotels, to bio diversity orange, to solar collectors. there's a numerous potential that isn't being exploited yet or feel more innovations such as lighter materials are needed. but for us are times planned is clear to have more smart roofs become a split in the city. when we come back to africa now, and it's often said, beauty is in the eye of the be older well web all to meet the man who was loved to

see beauty and all use you objects and then make it visible to others. i mean, does it, 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 off. mission leaky. you said you need to cool is collecting, just called the cons, and there's no shots. each of them leads reading the street is going to turn them into pieces of off log scale, images of like conflict because i'm selling this don't use these bridge gauze and i believe is bought both ways. he's going to call body saw face off at one day. it's mike was tom 12. what to live? it's gonna cost um $2.00, a month. the assets use is up to 1005 minutes of time, depending on the size of the off work. first you've been su, sundays infect,

economists has collected ben cox that meets a strips. i'm nice, there me support some 50 to 60000000 tons of aluminum waste generates a globally every year and several 100009 jersey alone. but it's also one of the most recycled materials to be case actually has even a truck that attention within the drinking history. this full of traits was commissioned by the managing direct. so if you live, i ain't gonna increase. we'll see that it's supposed to be case of cycling mission as a way of reducing waste. con, need to be disposed of, was valued in the right way. and so please do not just lit up the environment with that, please dispose of property a cheap week a if they do to cool describes themselves as an environmental opposite on the streets of process as

a for most of the diversity with the suffering of the planet. is still part of the journey deep. okay. our environmental policies are taking. i'm thinking it's the safety environment. oh wow. what a tolerance. 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. repeated droughts in northern kenya, which additional cut to farm and extremely difficult, so far most of finding new ways of adapting to the change in clyde rates. in the heart of central kenya, this site is becoming increasingly common kennels wandering across the once capital dominated landscapes of lexia for hudson, and like 65 year old of july, he mohammed, these kennels, are lifeline. corporate. can i see the fit for the drought?

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 larger the 2020 drought was one of the worst kenya has seen in decades. across the country, thousands of 100 is lost. the capital as cost is disappeared, leaving families devastated and without the main source of livelihood. up to 2600000 capital perished, escapes the need traditional live stock the up to allow his family has left. a now mainly has camels from their number one day where and cattle is difficult when the pastor is destroyed and from camels are easier to rear. they feed on trumps and survive and how shall conditions. but when the passage rise out in the castle di, oh, and the light is feeling the impact of drought spreading south unpredictable rains all turning its one screen passages into barren land,

neighboring some brewery faces. similar challenges as the ongoing drought means families have to travel long distances to fetch all set for themselves. and the animals 26 year old p t most sonya has been false to adapt. the hudson has also switched from capital to camels. say again that you know when the draft came and we under a 150 cattle, we sold them and bought 5 camels. and one of the cameras will help us survive until it rings again of a, which was that you could decide on the site. like many in the region, lasalle yeah. has land. camel's was their ability to survive on this was a 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 or in cows. but the move from capital to camel heading is not without

challenges. cartridge, the decision period, this limits to companies that decision period this uh 11 to 14 months. so. ready to multiply cummins a to declare a longer time compared to cutting to you so it's may not be possible to get to him because then we cut the comments as quickly as possible. so how does, in central kenya, the connection to the traditional livestock remain strong for a little bit looser than that? what's the range retard? and we can all sell $2.00 oh, $3.00 candles to purchase a cow, the purchase of 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 assessing the communities. and we can do to manage well in the process is that they can do

a little additional guessing where they can handle cafeteria. so usually, you know, just isn't about today telling you that to 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 resources and find climate tricity and alternatives. camels can provide them with much needed stability. and so it's amazing demos. 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 by for me, chris, the legs elijah area the
