This is good for the environment and enables families in the village to earn more from their harvests. We both have a fair ball, but i believe we need to increase the value of our cocoa to give it more credibility overall. With my approach, it is the women who are involved in this aspect. Their inclusion will make a real difference here. They will improve the cocoa value chain. Something that until now was the province of men.

I dont know why it just comes naturally. And julie, an idea of getting more from cocoa ponds is catching on. The Ivory Coast Government is in the process of building a biomass, Power Generation plant that will turn the countrys abundance of coca production, waste into electricity. Another young woman who has built up a ugly Business Company is featured in our next report. The last set up a somewhat unusual farm and they will be it breeds flies, flies. These insects are very popular with us humans, but to last. So we got the blocks all to fly, in fact deserve some respect. This container is full of black soldier fly larvae. Many might find them disgusting. But for talaash hybris, they were the basis of a business idea. She had 2 years ago. We think in 2nd prose, a company of the future because we are aware sustainability and profitability meet. And more importantly, we see the beauty within the beast. And i think you should too. And that beauty lies in the larvae, loving garbage and feasting on organic waste. What goes in one end comes out the other as nutrient rich 1st. Eliza farmer douglas has been using it on his fields. He says the quality of the soil has improved and that using the 1st allies there has financial advantages as well.

The less they stay in the farm and the growing period, the cheaper atrial be for the fam, kenyas capital nairobi generates about 3000 tons of waste every day. 60 percent of it is organic, such as spoiled, produce from markets. When it rots it emits Greenhouse Gases as me thing. The insect farm in nearby limerick can take about 20 to 30 tons of their daily organic waste. After the glass, im a soldier, fly larvae have gorge themselves until theyre nice and plump. They are dried and ground into a high protein powder that can be fed to chickens or picks. Its more environmentally friendly than fishmeal production, which is a significant contributor to overfishing. Theres another reason why interest in the insect based feed has grown during the current coronavirus pandemic when the borders are blocked off. To bring in fish meal into the country, fish meal is our main competitive product. So times in the end, uganda withheld or took longer to cross the border, meaning that the demand for black soldier flies went up because black soldier flies are an alternative to fish meal.

Working with tyler chivers, who studied International Food and agribusiness, has already expanded operations and now also raises crickets, nutritious and delicious. They wont just be feed for animals. But humans too. Yet, proof that we should think more highly of the insects in funked, these creatures can be our friends helping us to save resources and disposal. But unfortunately, plastic with thats right, sandra, its a manmade problem that we humans have to deal with ourselves. And there are many on more projects and people in africa doing just that. One association in mozambique doesnt just collect used plastic. It also promotes recycling involving schools, local community professional, wisco, lectors, and even artists. Lets see how far theyve come. To cheat on her family live in beta. Collecting Plastic Waste is how she makes a living. Is one of the around a 100 ways collectors working for 2 recycling associations in beta. Every day they take what theyve collected to the womens ngo, to the groups aim, is to provide both practical assistance for women and protect the environment. Polina cain or is the president and has led the Organization Since it was established in 2013. This is an association focusing on women with low incomes. So what we do is basically focus on recycling. That not only gives the women an income, but also helps to keep our city cleaner. And most of them together, the women manage to gather around 1. 00 tons of waste every month at the recycling center, workers sort of package it ready for transport. After that, it gets sent to an Industrial Recycling plant for processing this community used to be very dirty with all the Plastic Waste. Now i see a real difference in terms of cleanliness, but that means you dont find much waste in this area anymore. So the collectors have to go further to find material for recycling as theres no longer enough around here. The group to is part of the Mozambique Association of recycling or more the association is working to set up an efficient Waste Management and recycling system in mozambique. So far, 6 regional organizations are taking part and more have signaled interest in joining when i started in 2009, the concept was new in the southeast african country. Now 10 years down the line, the attitude towards waste has changed. Has changed a lot here. Since they started their activities and those are big, theyve brought a whole new perspective as regards to cycling. And theyve also introduced new infrastructure before we had huge amounts of Plastic Waste, but we didnt know what to do with it or how to process it. We are recycling is one of the private companies that also profit a growing interest in the cycling they sell on the salty materials to local companies, to transform them into furniture and many other useful items. And more says that between 4 and 600 tons of waste are being recycled every month. That might sound like a lot, but its actually only the equivalent of 2 percent of the overall waste produced in mozambique. So theres still a long way to go to make effective Waste Management a reality on a large scale. If we want to reduce the amount of plastic in circulation, we have to recycle it and cut down the amount we use in 1st place here at eco, our figure. We are plenty of ideas about how that can be drawn. Join us next time for more green ideas and initiatives, but for now its goodbye from the conservation partition lagos. See you next week, silva.
