Hash tag doing your bit we share your story. She is just sixteen years old but shes already started how in business week ali is there right nick farms fish using aquaculture the waste from which feeds the Hydroponic Vegetable Enterprise has a double use in times of drought in south africa thats right as she has Great Success to what side i would a thousand fish has now roll into a business that supplies about six stalls and because he says neighborhood yes south africas Capital Pretoria what would you say
a great idea. I her passion is farming fish reka lisa reineke a is sixteen and still at school four years ago she started implementing an Aqua Panic System on her fathers farm in Pretoria South Africa it combines conventional aqua culture like raising fish in tanks with hydroponics cultivating plants in water she started out with a thousand fish now her experiment has grown into a business that supplies fish and greens at the same time. I says and you see by me this time because you look so you can be in your backyard or when you do you really you know this is the you can feed about four to six times people on everything the basis you can make the place in the south sustainable with fish and vegetables stagehands i tend to indicate that you believe i alternative systems
like this one are especially important as south africa suffers from one of the most severe droughts in its history. Many farmers have lost crops and animals due to the lack of water. We make getting no where near the rainfall we should be getting at this time of those of the year the season and its only a devastating effect on me and on the Water Table Holes are drying up one of the things were going to be doing the speaker that she learning up wolf trying to. Get a little bit more water out of it. We have to bolster literally draw it up and that we can even use aqua panix as a reliable alternative especially in dry times the uses what she calls a Decoupled System in order to save water its a simple way to recycle used water back into the system we send all that wood to to a friend tank it then thousand to ten from day its been filtered through this
system the problems of diesel over a new chance and then also in eight hours cycle that was the steam that then what it was in the fish so since being loose in this world just back to the fish tanks so this is basically a big big filter or in a natural way she can say its a big way to. Another advantage you can grow anything from cucumbers to tomatoes and lettuce releases vision is to roll it out to places where people are poor and water is scarce. He added loads of wanting to this is to me only once a week you need to twenty five liters of water that some day you can have your fish and vegetables in your backyard and you can sell the salad to have an income as well in south africa is still in its infancy so far there are more than one hundred Ninety Freshwater and over thirty Salt Water Opera Culture farms official see
a lot of Growth Potential in panic systems. We have aquaculture our in this campaign we also have programs whereby jerry and i wouldnt companies who actually go and hold to hold their families hand by hand to advise them on how to start on our next farm we give them step by step excise i do not think think that the government has helped enough. Especially for young up coming into premiers who needs funding he needs Financial Advice i dont think ive got enough help and advice from the government in south africa. With or without Government Support rick elisa run a co will continue her business and passion growing vegetables and farming fish on a big scale. Thriving green is a Project Set Up by german students developing especially breeder of all ga that could soon be used to help feed people in barren and drought stricken regions
initial Pilot Programs already underway in kenyas took on a region thriving green students see cultivating all Gee Isnt All Hard Work its also lots and lots of fun just a few final adjustments then there detector will be ready for a test run. A device allows the students from regensburg to determine how many microscopic algae are present in a water sample and not just any algae but a very specific kind spirulina algae are also now being grown in kenya. Via the internet the students in Southern Germany are monitoring the growth of the algae in a basin they set up in kenya that way they can alert their african collaborators to the best time to harvest It Spirulina Tastes like salty salad but packs a much bigger nutritional punch. From that comment which people you know one
hundred grams of spirulina algernons have more than sixty grams of protein and six month thats six times as much as eggs and spirulina also has a lot of Essential Vitamins that people here are often missing the invention evicted fearon. To occur in their county and Northern Kenya is an extremely hot and arid region it borders on the worlds biggest desert lake but lake took on as water is becoming more and more say a line salt has accumulated in the dry soil making it useless for growing crops people and animals in the region suffer from hunger and malnourishment in april twenty seventeen the students set up the first basins through their start up thriving Green Financing came from Crowdfunding Donations and prize money the project only uses materials from the region because ultimately the people who live here will have to be able to run the facility and make repairs the first basin was
up and running in just three weeks after construction began. Water is becoming more and more say a line salt has accumulated in the dry soil making it useless for growing crops people and animals in the region suffer from hunger and malnourishment in april twenty seventeen the students set up the first basins through their start up thriving Green Financing came from Crowdfunding Donations and prize money the project only uses materials from the region because ultimately the people who live here will have to be able to run the facility and make repairs the first basin was up and running in just three weeks. After construction began. To hope people will think its ready and. You know what im looking forward to going to school although. It was for you know we go one two three. Many of the villagers turned up to watch as researchers outside city and yet exceeded the fifty square meter basin with spirulina cultures its filled with salty water from lake took. Us for some just mud to spec and the three kilometer we got the first basin up and running and saw how quickly and at what kind of scale the biomass started to appear and we were pretty amazed by this seeing algae grow in the lab in a test tube is one thing experimental at the speed at which the algae reproduced and several thousand liters of water well thats a natural wonder those two holes. From the. Thriving green wants to extend the farm until it can eventually supply spirulina for four hundred people the micro algae reproduces all on its own through Cell Division and every part of it can be used the only input is water and has to be changed occasionally because evaporation otherwise causes the salinity in the basins to rise circulation also
mixes up the Water Algae Mixture which promotes growth. The spirulina can be harvested every twenty five days. Aside from goats beans and corn a little thrives in the region around lake took on a new approach. That. Even so the people here are a little suspicious of the bright green algae at first but they soon lose their reservations people weakened by malnourishment can be helped back to strength by the nutrient rich food stuff. I guess and if you like it yeah i love it you know whats going on i thought those. Thriving green and the people around Lake Talk Cannot have developed recipes together when mixed with corn meal and water powdered algae make scent alicias flatbread. Youngest indices and over half a Million People in Kenyas Turkana region suffer from malnutrition even more and other east african countries fresh water is increasingly scarce in many regions
especially in developing countries so we think that Algae Farming has potential but can still help the farmers have received requests to set up facilities in ethiopia and bolivia as well. Nigeria has one of the highest rates of deforestation in the countrys population is growing rapidly and i would call it is expanding to meet demand but its a Vicious Circle before Station Courses so i leave ocean on sunday worsen feels the need for more land our next report shows just how dramatic the situation is caught in the act the ranger tells the men they have no rights to be here. On the. The Forest Guards can rest them because they have entered a strictly reserved area the cause of a forest in
a new state and federal dollars are the annals of what went on the other policeman to do consider to quote the Protection Zone as part of a wider strategy of the Nigerian Conservation Foundation the ngo hopes to save the diminishing forest in the country each year nigeria loses more than Three Thousand square kilometers of woodland only seven percent of its land mass is still covered by trees the foundation a set of grass roots because of asian comedians to help to protect the forests the chairman fred explains the zone system of neighboring going to get a forest that covers Three Hundred Fifty square kilometers divided into three times we are transitional and causal yeah we are transitional. Where were plant. Last. July august so we are also intense or blunt. Last. August. So we are also intense or blunt one with your trees this year the transitions season of the most Human Activity Farmers are allowed to plant crops here in the close supervision however one major concern is arsenic people sneak into the area to set fire to the land and drive animals out of the brush they also go to the forest to light up the forests because. For four on the months it has been made me. Into projects them vicious goal of the nigerian prince of Asian Foundation is to have twenty five percent of nigerias land mass covered with forest again within thirty years thats about the will of the nigerian prince of Asian Foundation is to have twenty five percent of nigerias landmass covered with forest again within thirty years thats about four times more than now. One approach is to ban all Human Activity and let the forest regenerate itself every adult every leave every warning type of valuable year so the commitment is i believe just released on porch that this way where. Those things will be like beef the next step will be to plant more than two Million Trees over the next three years to ensure the survival and growth of nigerias forests. Cher bots are becoming ever more popular in africa for cooking i mean. But the award of the share not. A body of all my energy and thats why its made into charcoal in book enough. To stop the resulting deforestation what im doing. The group is training the women to
make the top. Recognize that the thinking here. On this one a live tree is more valuable than the dead one. Sacks of Charcoal Selling on the side of the road go for Bargain Prices its charcoal made from she a word some producers are allowed to cut down trees selected by the Forest Authority the producers pay a fee for every tree they cut or bullet from keep it on the ground and. Women who cook in the Big Restaurants would have made govern save a lot by using sheer charcoal thats because its very slow burning at last for a long time in the oven. So not surprisingly she trees are often cut down illegally either for personal use or by people looking to make money. So has
a huge problem with the forestation over One Hundred Thousand hectares of forest disappear every year. Weve adopted various measures to try to reverse this trend but its true that Illegal Logging is still taking place in our forests this is what i dont see. Her working together with the state to finally put a stop to this phenomenon in burkina faso. These women are collecting the fruit of the sheer tree ready to turn it into she a better product you. Many cosmetics and creams in the little honey do sabir each text the quality of the fruit he works for a local ngo c. E. s its training the women creams the little honey do severe each text the quality of the fruit he works for a local ngo c. E. s its training the women to produce more and better quality she
of butter this will allow them to increase their income making their families less likely to cut down she trees illegally the ngo has taught the women to process the fruit as quickly as possible before it can be attacked by insects or the kernels begin to germinate. We used to gather the fruit into a heap and leave it until we were ready now we boil it up as soon as weve collected it and then put it out to dry in the sun the butter we get now is much better. In the capital walk into sells all kinds of goods made from shiah butter ranging from baby Care Products to vaseline and shampoo shiah butter is an important Export Product but the owner is already feeling the impact of the illegal cutting of shia trees with their Production Output has gone down compared to ten years ago and thats reflected in the price we used to pay Three Hundred to four
hundred francs for one now we paid double the price because the product has become more rare. And thats because there are fewer trees and. See a lot of. Protecting the trees is the name of c. D. s here in the southwest of the country the ngo recently installed a modern shia but a Production Unit here to use to bury has been training some of the women from the local village of. Crushing the shia colonels provides the raw material for the better. The work is physically much easier the women are able to put you small data on the quality has also improved so theyve seen their income go up significantly and room while were looking at the future of our Children School fees and health care for our kids. The hopes that by improving the womens financial situation this will in turn help
to protect shia trees. It is in part the families of these women who are chopping down the trees so if we can convince them of the importance of protecting the trees they can in turn help to persuade others and when they see they can earn more from the butter theyll be more motivated to protect that source of income and. Get on. With the projects in bikini faso count on the women and their families realizing that its in their own best interest to keep the shia trees a life. That wraps it up for this weeks show we do hope you enjoy the last half of Reports Africa and you so its bye bye from the ancient city of baby in niger and its goodbye from me here in my roby kenya we do hope that youll join us again next week for another had this on all of our environmental and dont forget to speak to us on our social media we love to hear from you my name is sarah
