is the now a lot dissipated from all over the world. i'm ready to say there's the nation to shape tomorrow. join us and register now for the d. w. global media for in 2020, for the . the rising global temperatures have a direct impact on food security. according to the world food program, we're a witness and an unprecedented food crisis. now, over 700, a to 1000000 people around the world assessing chronic hung up. welcome to equal africa. i m sandra the homes that we nobody will write to you in comp, hello, uganda diversified food sources and agriculture. production techniques

is one way of ensuring safe and held the food for everyone. i have chris gloves coming to you from lee goes. nigeria. good to have you with us. here's what's coming up. why mushrooms up big business and rhonda how to reduce the environmental impact of online shopping in house to children now learning a satisfaction of growing road foods. while we start the show on the south african coast jelly fish have been striving for millions of years and are among the oldest leaving animals on the planet while even though they've been around for so long, they're surprisingly little research into these. let's save marine creatures. now, scientists to try to find out more about them and the critical role the play in ocean. because systems jelly fish are among foods oldest

inhabitants, mass occurrences known as blooms of jelly. fish happened roughly every 10 years, but in some regions like columbia. and then we'd be in coast, they seem to occur more frequently, but it's hard to get dr. jelly fish thrift with the current which makes them difficult to accurately record. such invasions are usually the result of environmental conditions which lead to a drop in the number of predators. at the same time, that can be facilitated by any increase in temperature, you can increase the temperature. these things will grow foster. you dropped the concentrations of oxygen that will affect sufficient negatively, but it doesn't affect jelly fish. the jelly fish will drive in areas the fish of being forced to events. the invasion has not yet hit south africa. chris lewis is a jelly fish expert who is familiar with the species, the waters off cape town. so far, 20 spaces, a note here,

such as the pretty mouth jelly and the poisonous fox jelly fish. researches are only now beginning to understand the role that these invertebrates play in the marine ecosystem. they're not only so as indicate, the space has to show us when it goes system is out of whack. but they also play be important at all. that's a pace pcs, as well as printed as an ocean and be close to a different company. does the actually lock up a lot of carbon into the ocean and when those really fish die, they actually sink to the bottom of the sea floor. and then the following season with wind induced operating, that new things get to be used for by the facts of life in order to grow and start that cycle back again. there's a lot more to learn about species diversity to very, and a ross has spent just over a decade, studying jelly fish together with other scientists. she wants to build a database of the different types found off the south african coast to determine whether there are any changes in the numbers. but it's a huge task. it gets small, but 6 issue. we expect that issue, we get to be in a,

out of the tissue and all the take these, this little solution filled with the n a. what we then do is we sequence the d n a and we look at what spaces we are seeing based on the d n a. and what i can say is we are see many, many new things coming up from our collections. we've only maybe work through about 10 percent of our collections and already we are discovering many, many new species. and so this has been very exciting, but the more the researches understand about jamie fish types and the numbers, the better they can determine changes in the population. and carly them with climactic. this is sandy. fish certainly seem to feel at home here as the coast of south africa is one of the most species reaching the world. around 10 percent of all jelly fish is live here, and many can be seen at the cape town aquarium. each species has its own peculiarities, with some only living in cold water, others in warm chris lewis is responsible for breeding them. it's a complex and difficult task. each bases has its own parameters. so while they're

getting up some spaces, one to live in warm or cold with a specific period of time, a diet shift, we have some good appreciate you. as a genius patient, we actually have to produce enough to push in order to see them there also some database out of very long left. they left for 6 months or 9 months. so it was nice to have this done by about system where we actually getting use pieces to replace the ones that actually expiring on exhibits as well as the flow in the banks. the ocean is very good at keeping the junior per se, but as the jelly fish growing in the tanks, we actually have to adjust the flow. so that can go up to many, also just become very misshapen and actually die and finish because of that. many people are fascinated by these aquatic dinosaurs, or a few of them, because many j, the fish are poisonous. although only a few species are dangerous to humans. some jelly fish also contain highly rodnick acid and important nutrients like protein. making them popular food in

asia, but they're not on the menu in south africa, yet. instead, scientists, you hope to better understand the role of jelly fish within the marine ecosystem. and how it's effected by climate change. from one asian secret joe to another of you ever heard of the term keystone species? well, it's an old, this thing that helps hold up ecosystem to give a always there's a one example that is right grease. they are known as ecosystem easy is because they help create new habitats for other species. and they also minimize the impact of climate change. calling me as b. r oysters are real popular is so we need to protect them. this oyster and these muscles along with scallops. and clamps are by valves. ocean creatures with 2 attached shells. fossil records place their age over 500000000

years old before the dinosaurs. and they are found everywhere from the arctic to the antarctic. to the equator, they start out tiny, floating to the water. oysters and muscles attach themselves to an underwater surface to grow. well, clams buried themselves in sand. they come in all different shapes and sizes too. they used to be so plentiful that they were given out is free bar snacks. but over fishing cost populations to decrease by 5 percent off shelby race worldwide. samuel heidi al, away did her ph. d. on the history of oysters and muscles. we've had this extreme loss of a highly productive habitat from so many places in the world. and people didn't even know that it had happened. the more we learned about how valuable they are to ecosystems, the more devastating this loss because that's because they do some incredible stuff

and all the hanging out in the water wherever they grow. they're busy cleaning because the majority of buyouts or filter theaters that they still have what, uh, uh, and sketch articles, things at the borders. so feed on those particles, surrogate cats of research to muscles or controlling ego system of the great lakes in the united states. you can imagine a muscle sitting at the bottom of the lake, maybe in 200. if me those depths, you imagine that the want to call them $200.00 is meet us above that muscle. that single muscle can cycle that column of water in a couple of hours. they use whatever particles they need to grow and excrete the rest in the form that bacteria on the bottom can break down. as you can see on the left, the filter chemicals necessary for plants and animal growth, phosphorus, and nitrogen. these chemicals are present an agricultural run out from fertilizers

and can cause toxic algo blooms at high levels. by them is also felt in more than just chemicals. pilot projects are using them to clean lakes and oceans of micro plastics. tiny plastic particles hard to see and collect the bivalves, absorb the small ones, and larger particles are excluded in feces which can then be taken out of the water . so we can use these animals to clean up polluted water, but in a closed environment, they can alter the whole eco system. that's what the researchers discovered in the great lakes. the muscles are native to this area and have cleared the water of nutrients to well. it was quite a deal ization, they figured out of the muscles that live at the bottom of the lake have this much effect on the biology of the entirely in the open ocean. it's a different story here. muscles and oysters can form re able to support whole eco systems. oysters are particularly good at this.

overtime researchers grow bigger and bigger and they are very complex. katie motion, right. so the 1000000000 oyster project which aims to restore 1000000000 oysters to new york harbor by 2035. as the oyster reese grow ocean plants attached to them, which attracts small fish and other animals to become a nursery and a feeding ground for all different kinds of organize. and so hundreds of other species, fish, crafts, little, tiny, antique organisms will make their home and always survey these. reese, also support of the larger animals, a study of new zealand muscle. reeves found over 10 times as many fishing of them and see horses have returned to the oysters in new york harbor. their benefits also extend beyond the structures themselves. lowest rates of doing is actually protecting the integrity of the world a h. i. system. when a powerful wave comes in from the ocean and hits an oyster read,

some of the energy is broken off and lost, meaning the ways that passed that re art is damaging near the shore. this protects fragile coastal eco systems like c grasses, which function of the nurseries for ocean animals. and as carbon sinks, less wave energy also means less coastal erosion. and these ecosystem benefits can also come from farms if they're sustainably managed. the muscles inside in the system is very beneficial, but most of the day works muscle farmers in south africa to make sure their operations are sustainable as possible. sustainable fishing practices, for example, trying to ensure that the minimize co interrogations and attendance protected species, muscles are hung from ropes suspended in the water. the animals could become trapped in with the ropes properly anchored. it's extremely red. this happens the

also trying to ensure that the muscle fox themselves cannot have an impact on the basic heavy tests that they will paint over in a closed environment like this day, excuse me, from the muscles could cover the ocean floor. so platforms are rotated to make sure they don't overwhelm ecosystems. bible farms require no feet and no antibiotics as they get everything they need from the water rope, chrome muscles have a carbon footprint and 0.25 kilograms per cubic. for comparison, beef is around a 100 kilograms per kilo. and unlike other methods, it seems like action, waste products from muscles. an oysters can be used in a circular way. how much but who we can use now that we can use it says types of a town actually uses the lift the shelves. it should be mico kenny composed of them as building material. the shells also sequester carbon fiber, just pull up from the water and use it to grow their shops. crushed up the shelves

can be added to concrete instead of limestone. but the best use for the shells is the simplest. growing more by valves old shelves are often were used for farming, but can also go to restoration projects where the shellfish are left in the water instead of eating. these projects are springing up around the world from australia to new york city that we've collected almost 2000000 pounds or shell. already. the shows are cleaned and placed in cages. resource or cages are put into shipping containers that we've converted into a way to set oyster alarm high onto shell. add water from the harbor, then some larvae, and after a week they are babysitters. the cages are then moved into the harbor. as the oyster reef grows, it creates an ecosystem. well, also benefit in people on shore. we can expect a ton of fish fact yeah, of course the risk to be added to the brain environment of 3 or restoration prices . so one more bible is generally main cleaner waters. the positive impact of

muscles and oysters can be doubled through circular uses for their shops and of all of them. boisterous, are the superheroes filtering, sheltering, protecting and restoring? that's why we should be doing everything we can to put more of them in our waters or the ring is one thing, but we can all do. that means we never have to worry about the cost of the cost of fruits and vegetables. you know, next report we visit a school right to in uganda where the young students are. we've also seen plastic to grow their own foods fresh and they got into the seat with phoenix and the coverage you'll get into that keeps you into bed. and for all of the young farmers of said kizzy to high school are successful the produce from their school farm is used to feed their entire

student population. the students at the school on the outskirts of compiler already grow vegetables such as cabbages, raised chickens, and farm little fish. no, they're collecting waste plastic bottles that they use to build vertical gardens in various farms. and to make the most, the remaining growing space. use it helps us in the way that we plant a lot of different plants we need. we have this come, always need. um we have the tomatoes, the tv, you know, if you have a small environment to, to them, some of us have poor above ground. but to these have can help as in the way it takes us. but one bottle building as a result garden with mushroom cultures and waste caught in husks for soil inside the harvested mushrooms are sliced and dried for storage. this is cynthia unequal.

don't you call way of using our spacing, the environment where by we're trying to avoid all the different for us got down that you can choose day. we don't want this environment anymore. we have to add of it and have come of the solution. through the projects, the students are learning innovative, eco friendly and sustainable. growing practices to be self sufficient to, to guarantee a healthy diet. from uganda we had to run to west fall moves, so also called so big thing, mushrooms bought on a bigger scale than those school children. we just met and they believe fund guy are the opposite to many of the was problems. who were the sold will demand is definitely growing. and most true farming is quickly becoming one of the most of the creative agriculture like to reduce an offer got in the adult human interior of face. hans, so my gumbo, at least, is cultivating across that could help improve food security. in rwanda waste and

mushrooms mazda in the economy and give you a hint that every home you did a whole lot, and i have been cultivated mushrooms for 5 years. did a robot mean? see the rapid growth set them apart from other crops? when i get a retain 9 and 15 days after cultivation, the mushrooms are ready for sale. well, when i think it is, i'm, is that done? well, i mean, with other cups, you often have to wait 5 to 6 months before they can be harvested. but i'll get you over to them. we love with mushrooms and generating revenue within just 2 weeks. you it's indeed we have many advantages over other crops. oh yeah. yeah. no, that's not behind on any youtube begins at the most out of look on the, on those simon gumbo, every groceries mushrooms in rugal, rama village. one of 15 villages supported by key gully thumbs. its trains around $700.00 small hilda from this,

and had the hot specially built which the pharmacy's for free. it also provides them with production and commercialization assistance. the social enterprise was set up by loan des moines in 2010. previously, he ran a micro brewery in new york that he wanted to move to africa to do something sustainable with the community impact. and then inspiration hit. as the book got closed and i see them running home mushrooms going to help save the world. and i thought, yeah that's, that's too much, you know, how can help them and how can mushroom saved the world. but i started reading the book and it was very quickly convinced that mushrooms are, it is incredible organisms that can do a lot of good things. if you, you know, if you use them in the right way, they can be good for people's health. you're very healthy to eat the very nutritious. they can be very good for the environment because they have a tendency to recycle organic matter into something useful. the economic conditions in rwanda are ideal for the cultivation of several varieties of

mushrooms and the crop is an ideal solution to one of the problems. the country faces its growing population which currently numbers around to 14000000 and the limited availability of arable land, which encompasses some 1400000 heck to as this indicates that our current land resources may not advocacy and show up with security for all citizens in the future, however, which will still seems viable solutions for some mushrooms play, a significant role in the circle of bio economy. and it's always the issue of negative effects that are cropping vested use in the long time. that's because it's used as a substrate for the mushrooms. golly. thumbs provide support to local weak farm is when they harvest. and then vice the wheat store, which is then cemented into substrate. the form is used to burn that quote for as a d contributing to at pollution, the countryside is where you find more agriculture ways that can be converted into mushrooms. so we started with that and then 56 years into it. we started with

button mushrooms, no budget mushrooms worldwide is the number one, commercial mushrooms everywhere. it's 90 percent of the of the cultivated mushroom around the world, but it was 0 in rwanda. and it's very, very low in africa. requiring minimal inputs in terms of costs, land and labor mushroom funding is benefiting local communities in rwanda, as well as helping decrease emissions and improve soil quality of the overhead. since my passions and mushroom plumbing stems from the many benefits, it's given me the clubs showing ma'am is the growing cycle takes around, sorry. now let's go from what even once it's finished, mushroom substrate was retained residual value from it. and we can use it as a high quality mendoza and which is ideal for various crowds, especially vegetables. so the harvest is good for food and level. cool as a menu say, what hunchback to the on the slides is which the great and the soil,

columbus and the crew, and how to work. we chatted with the local to, to, to be what small mushrooms are increasingly seen as an affordable, unhealthy food and a much more environmentally friendly source of protein than meets instead of having your hamburger with beef in it, you could have a vegetarian burger with a, with the mushroom in it, that's just as delicious, much healthier for you and the shelter for the planets. a machine slamming fits well with the rwandan government's plans to make agriculture claim it smells. you. we didn't go easy to design is only 2 teeth. what could i weigh him to integrate climate, smart agriculture and so agriculture policy goals with, along with the teachers will promote sustainable lighting, environmentally friendly farming methods. we aim to support all forms of agriculture or funding generates organic, fertilize us. this approach not only aids in combating the impacts of climate

change, but also diversifies our reliance would be on mushrooms. you wouldn't have doing any resolved for so long. and i mean, he didn't even need to repeat it either way, whether it's many benefits to the environments. mushroom foaming is helping rewan to meet its target to of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by nearly 40 percent by the end of the decades. believe it or not mushroom. so we're also being used as a basis for a sustainable alternative to plastic pocket to box urgently needed as online shopping continues to boom. the packaging problems get worse and worse on next story takes us to remediate in eastern europe. we want scott to help came up with another we consume as can keep buying online without adding to the waste problem. ringback the new order online, and a few days later, the mailman brings everything right to your doorstep. the boxes that pile up are

necessary evil. because make sure that they some academic, all these boxes make the home look so messy. request someone to we felt that needed to change the curriculum and we came up with the idea of developing the best at packaging solution. what audit bought, the mean good idea. and sunday, last year, a global parcel of shipping volume amounted to over $100.00. 61000000000 parcels, it takes 2 kilos of what to produce one dealing with packaging paybacks. and that means a lot of trees has failed to make those parcels adina who must start up designed a returnable packaging solution that can be reused up to $500.00 times to a consumer shopping online can opt for environmental. the friends the packaging with just one click the once the packaging has been removed,

its return to the courier and sent back a service for which customers pay extra from our little online customer, i want to have returnable packaging. yeah. and just in case that, if that's the challenge for the startup is finding as many companies as possible to take part in the system. this large online bookseller with branches throughout the book arrest is already on board. the members of the normal cardboard. packaging is wasteful. we don't want to put more cardboard on the market, it usually ends up in landfill. assume that the adina who my hopes that more and more online shoppers will opt for returnable, re usable packaging. not on one. yeah, we remain and still have to go to catching up to the one site and we need to educate the public or for use. we had to explain the difference between reusing and

recycling, but we kept tots it. now people understand how the conservation of resources was. if you had been of a sudden menu, the european union's green deal plans on making the you climate neutral by 2015 a. do you know who my things recreates? returnable packaging solution is a highly promising one. she just wishes she'd have the idea sooner. that states for this week's show all the bald climate slots solutions for fighting for the security of protected the planets of crystal legs and its good bye for v. a nigeria, the end i am the son druck holmes, that we nobody will sign and go from uganda. thank you for joining us on the do check out our equal offer go online dot films for more good stories, right? to us on equal out d, w dot com, see you again. very soon. the
