Ah the pride of a country here in uganda these wonderful and drum many visitors which helps the economy but the core of. The Tourism Industry hot so a Womens Initiative to the windy Impenetrable National Park where the. Attraction has come up with other ways of income and that is continuing even though the park is now once again open to visitors but the women arent the only ones who read good use of their time doing this pandemic. For. Sprains for. The older. Members. So. So the. Source of joy for the people. Because. History. Its also good news for right for a woman. That profits from tours coming to see. The coronavirus look down march broach tourism to a standstill depriving many local women of the way to and money these women have been home for 6 months with no walk almost 7 months and because uganda has opened. Them to them it means they want to that i mean an income right for a woman or for services such as bike she was around the National Park some of the women just had to learn how to ride a bike themselves but that 2 of them now in big demand right for a woman was found to go by. It now employees of a 300. 00 women from villages in the area. Women by using that Mountain Based as we thought maybe torso come and actually use the Mountain Base and then demanded but what is the women and the benefits to providing to us as help the women and other locals to recall the need to protect nature and wildlife many know watch out for porches america to prevent from being exploited its sort of a common human perspective that what doesnt benefit you is useless. And thats how most of the people in the. Conservation. Areas and if there is a benefit of one of them then it seems. Its not good enough but that ended abruptly in march the 1 no more tourists to the mountain bikes visit workshops handicrafts. So instead the women started making face masks for companies and organizations in uganda as well as for export abroad. And we have. So when we get it here we try to. Get from that theres a man and. We just got one and we started from that they must generate some income but. So even came up with another scheme to help this community of women with the help of donations they set up a farm where they grow their own produce also helps keep the charity going plus people need to eat even when theres no money coming in has become selfsustaining so we get put on here take it to their women who are on the other side walking and then we still i am bringing their money out to actually come and pay the women working in the field. Now thats what intersections are being lifted. So that women will be back on the bikes and with any luck theyll catch a glimpse of the silver bark and his family. Have been born since the beginning of the to the delight of conservationists these majestic primates are an endangered species most long ago there were only 800 mountain lived all of them in uganda rwanda and the democratic republic of congo fortunately the protective measure. Has proved effective and their numbers have grown to over a 1000. Did you know that some 1300000000 tons of food a west it every year was white in africa it is often down to a lot of infrastructure for preserving freshly rested food as a result on average 6. 00 to 11. 00 killers of food a west that. Play here in developing countries what a waste of resources sondra but in industrial nations the level of waste is 10 times greater retailers and consumers often toss out food just because its no longer fresh now one company has found a way of extending the shelf life of fruits and vegetables using a method that doesnt harm the environment. The fruit and vegetables rotting in fields or during transportation to consumers. According to the un food and Agriculture Organization or f a o some 14 percent of food is lost after harvesting and before it reaches the market or retailer. If you go to a particular country or particular religion you are likely to see varying levels of food losses and these you pending on the situation would go up even to 50 percent if youre talking about lets say fruits and vegetables for example if theyre from one does not find a market for that particular food product in a timely basis now this is huge amount of food and if you you convert it into a Monetary Fund this is a lot and if you wait it is well into the laws to the environment or the Environmental Impact that is also huge. When that happens water pesticides and resources used for transportation are all wasted some 7 percent of global Greenhouse Gas emissions can be traced back to food loss and waste the chief causes include problems with transportation and refrigeration. Getting the produce from harvest to Kitchen Table is a race against time. A California Based Company appeals sciences might be able to help. Founder James Rodgers and his team have developed a liquid that could extend the shelf life of fruits and vegetables. Appeal is a little exactly like it sounds peel we apply to the surface of Fresh Produce you cant see it you cant taste it you cant feel well it slows down the factors that cause the fruit to age. It helps even without refrigeration appeal is a liquid coating that dries into a kind of edible skin. The coating helps the produce last up to 4 times as long that buys time time to transport the produce to store it and eat it before it spoils. Appeal is based on limits and other natural compounds found in fruits and vegetables. They were extracted and blended into a tailor made solution. By combining them in the rate ratios when they dry dry into an arrangement that allows us to control the factors that cause fruit to age which are basically water going out and oxygen going in so same materials were just teaching a new trick by finding the right formula to apply to different kinds of produce in order to give them the same kind of protection that you have a lamb in on a cucumber or a. Dutch wholesaler natures pride sells some 120000 tons of fruits and vegetables a year they import from 59 countries especially in latin america in rotterdam. The imported produce continues to ripen before its sorted packed and shipped to the retailer. Spoilage and waste is a common problem in the industry but the Company Hopes to minimize these losses in the future. In the way they actually bought it and they dont use it. And that costs money. So in the chain if we dont deal with it way you dont spend that money wrongly with the people we can reduce food waste well since you presented your data level. Food that used to land in the trash can now be sold every day natures pride treats 6 tons of avocados with appeal before sending them to supermarket shelves across europe. The main customers are in scandinavia germany and the netherlands. Natures pride is the 1st company in europe to use appeal. Theyre planning to start treating other kinds of fruits and vegetables soon. As time is going by air by using a few we might give them the possibility go by boat and that is of course is they may be fantastic so theres lots of opportunities. So far the new technology is mainly being used by Large Companies smaller ones cant afford it but appeal says its planning to change that with a new Business Model it foresees retail chains in supermarkets paying for the technology for small producers and farmers to install. In return the retailers receive longer lasting produce farmers in places that havent had access to national and International Markets could also benefit. And so the opportunity is to be able to use appeal to reduce the transport station costs and increase the quality so its not a its a way for some small producer to grow something thats intrinsically valuable to collect some of that value. And thats exactly what would help producers in african countries appeal is currently setting up a facility in south africa for example its not just aimed at the export market but could also help reduce food waste in the country itself. But while extending the shelf life of produce will help it wont put an end to the waste problem. For that transportation and refrigeration systems will also need to be improved and expanded. And consumers will need to stop throwing food away and start only buying what theyll actually eat. Here you get a clue whats really going on. Africa. Being played out. If. We introduce you to clever people and the latest solutions for the environment. Simply amazing stories. Africa. Lets move to egypt now many. In the north african country so isolated. A problem for residents on a Tourism Industry so love paul could provide a solution egypt now has one of the Worlds Largest solar plants it cant cope with the needs of the country in the meantime a small supply of localized to fill the gap lets take a look. On is a remote fishing village on the red sea and its not on the national grid. Until recently the only electricity here came from diesel generators now a solar powered local grid to provide the electricity of around the clock. Enabling fishermen to store their catch safely. You know. When we cant fish we used to take them either 11 kilometers south to have more 16 kilometers north to run. It was quite a long drive and the fish would sometimes go bad and start to smell. Now that we have electricity around the clock we have a freezer people come to us to buy fish and we save on time and travel costs. 100 kilometers to the north theres marsa. Its a popular Tourist Destination the hotels here rely mostly on diesel generators for electricity. But thats not the case at the martha schachter a large where people come from all over the world to dive the owners here have invested in solar power but the system only provides electricity germ the day when its dark the hotel still uses a diesel generator. Still the partial switch to solar hasnt just been environmentally beneficial its also been an advantage on an economic level. For many. For. The price of fossil fuels has risen a lot over the past 8 years but. Right now the cost of producing 1. 00 kilowatt of using the generator is the equivalent of 12 year old cents. On the other hand the cost from the solar plant is only 8 year old. And 1. 6. As a result weve been able to recoup our outlays in less than 5 years. The aim is to switch to 100 Percent Clean Energy as soon as possible. The many great and solar station was built and is maintained by the carm Solar Company itself the electricity to the hotel. Jamaal opt out cause there is the on Site Maintenance technician karm solar has a policy of training local people wherever it builds a facility. And enough. I mean when i started it was a manual laborer. Digging holes laying cable and carrying stuff around i knew nothing about solar power throughout slowly i started learning and things to console or i got trained by their engineers. He checks the solar panels every day its important to clean them regularly because a lot of sound blows around here for local technicians karm solar is grids present opportunities for career progression. Where im no in charge of 3 solar grads and nasa. Karm solar mostly sets up facilities for big clients and companies but it also serves smaller ones like this bedouin settlement they recently received 2 solar panels from donors. Jamal is visiting to explain how the mini great works. On harm solar also works but the government on large on grid power plants. Another sign that solar power has a Bright Future in egypt joining the punjabi Tourist Attractions and Cultural Centers all over the world have been offering walls so allow their sights and values to be explored from some wildlife parks in south africa the same approach i mean even though some are now reopening for digital safaris are still wildly popular especially those featuring elephants and big cats is this weeks doing. I. Want to see what lions do all day. Lodges rangers bring south africas wildlife into your home the rangers record what they observe in the money major reserve and post the videos online for free the idea came about when the reserve closed due to covert 19 a really great way of the far east bringing the bush and the animals and the reserves to people in their homes down they couldnt go anywhere and we thought its a fantastic idea to bring these virtual safaris to people the on the beat virtual safaris are a roaring success and are watched by people around the world. In july 2020 the videos were getting between 3 and 4000000 viewers. The virtual safaris proved so popular that they continued even after restrictions were lifted along with beautiful footage they provide lots of information. And. Found out about. All types of. Consuello says the virtual safaris teach the importance of wildlife while also encouraging people to support the reserves.

Digital technology is opening up new possibilities on the pandemic has only served to celebrate that for us in kenya Cutting Edge Technology is helping farmers to improve their crop yields and cope with the fact of Climate Change. That is right near a start up in nairobi is using state lights to provide farmers with forecasts on their harvests and also rely on the weather but its not only state lights that are keeping watch on the pharmacy fields. Oh. Once a month most risky money flies are drawn over his clients feet its africa has the 2. 00 sides but crop fields here are often. This technology could change that the bronze camera captures the light thats reflected off the plants in vegas with nancy and so reveals information which they netted human i cannot see. We fly closely over the probes getting that image litter under analyze and we can see if the crops are stressed and why this is important with a drone you can actually see crops just 2 weeks before you can see to the naked eye so it helps the farmer make the right decision in time before the crop has a loss most risky money founded the company in terra africa in 2016 together with the fund he startup is one of 12 across africa currently receiving guidance from the German Government program for start ups hes kind of to regularly with the dominance of his provide officers tina.

These in the sky are part of europes observation they talk. Every 5 days they say and i knew. This specialist at the start up then time the data into valuable information for local farmers big dick knology can evaluate a plan scrolled on daylight potential problem areas its even possible to estimate how high a crop yield will be with you performing well consistently you know that they can actually make adjustments on the farm theyve got of their yield now we look at the soil moisture analysis. So for this it is blue whether its good so why should distribution yellow or green red is less western red tops in italy dry so what that tells us is the education lines here are not working. Hell mean why everything is going to plan. Your route kenya has been using the interior africans for about a year out have a flourishing she can also 40 percent more produce than before 2 hotels and local markets 200. 00 farmers were already used the op appreciates its user friendly set up.
