Problems. According to the United Nations around thirty one Million People worldwide regularly consume harmful levels of illicit drugs iran has one of the worlds highest numbers of drug addicts relative to population size of one point two five Million People according to u. N. Figures the country shares a nine hundred kilometer long border with afghanistan on the worlds biggest producer of opium and its products in recent years large amounts of drugs of all kinds of being confiscated in iran drugs have long been a to boost subject there and addicts are only just starting to get some help. Sure in earns her living making handicrafts which she sells on the streets. This would have been unthinkable just a few years ago cheering was a drug addict she was hooked on crystal meth for eight years her father was also an addict he introduced into alcohol when she was a child and shes nothing that so my father fermented his own wine when i was a child. But im betting then when i was six he gave me a glass of wine for the first time and he hung and i became dizzy and it was very strange. And then i started dancing so it somehow clicked for me at the time but even thats when my addiction began. It was easy for sure and to get hold of drugs as an adult even though along with alcohol they were forbidden in this theocratic state. How much for us. I learned there that you can get anything anywhere drugs and alcohol was much. Less. Our young people start with drinking and then come the drugs. Its very easy to get drugs and alcohol. Thats there are a lot of drug dealers especially in the southern part of tehran. But also in the center. Before sun is removed. The government ignored the problem for decades and the result it has never been easier to get hold of addictive substances and the number of addicts is higher than ever. The figures are so alarming that a former police chief felt compelled to write an open letter demanding that the problem finally be made public. Iranian state television did then announce that there were nearly three thousand drug related deaths annually. And sharon was invited to appear on a talk show. This was unthinkable just a short time ago. Yet the moderator probably cant believe that he can talk about this on t. V. And the. Official figures put the number of drug addicts in iran at one million. The unofficial figures said to be much higher but. What is known is that thousands of liters of alcohol are confiscated and destroyed every year and that the Health Ministry has opened a detox clinic but we are told that most often addicts are simply locked away. The nongovernmental activities in tehran are impressive in the south of the city aid organizations care for the plentiful addicts living on the street. The volunteers offer more than just a warm meal. Was saying its not our goal to just feed the forced to live on the streets the meals are a means to make contact with the drug addicts to gain their trust. Thats yes to give them hope that someone is there for them. And says that the soft thanks they have reached many this way and help them get off the streets and get clean those who manage it are celebrated each year. I have been teaching for ten months and ten days i never thought i would manage it. We need cheering again here she now wants to share the kind of help she got with others. For what they are still a lot of people who need help especially in the poorer class but also in the middle class. Unfortunately there are many women too and i work especially closely with them. Many consume because they dont know any better many others because they are just curious. As to all that. She says that helping other people gives her strength and confidence and it prevents her from falling back into the jaws of addiction. The the the it the people here help her with that. The. Us. Tonight the volunteers are going out into the streets again with hundreds of meals bringing them to those who are seeking help. Years brazil has been in the midst of an economic crisis unemployment lies at nearly thirteen percent Many Brazilians have been pushed down the social ladder and slums continue to expand according to figures from two thousand and seventeen around fifteen million brazilians a quarter of the population have less than five and a half dollars a day to live on thats below the National Official poverty line and approximately fifteen Million People live in extreme poverty on less than one dollar ninety a day and if it werent for the efforts of more fortunate members of the population most would have no chance to escape the poverty trap. By this illusion try for david harris and his crew are preparing a buffet for a special event at a hotel in sao paolo theyve taken over the kitchen for the day pets is a social entrepreneur and pioneer of social gastronomy. The team members are all graduates of the Vocational Training program run by his Nonprofit Organization gastro multivac. It trains young people from poor families to become kitchen assistants and cooks. Someones able to finish high school leonardo kind of has to look up to his younger brothers and sisters. So i want to be a chef one day and go abroad perhaps to paris and work for the best restaurants. Close my eyes thats my dream but who knows. If they thought he didnt push so you guys you know can feel as if youre going to see not to move but with their focus is a few today theyre showing what they can do most are just starting out on their careers. What hes talking about as the source gastronomist goes a very expensive and present thats all i live in a poor neighborhood at the edge of sao paolo so i cant afford it but gastro t. V. Helps us poor people and has helped me get an education is what i suppose is most cutting is. There whipping up quite a spread out of rejects produce thats been deemed not good enough for a top notch establishment some of the vegetables are getting a bit soft. Were wasting as well so that became part of my year my birthday and you know like i cannot waste one tomato and we brought this story to keisha no problem so now food waste to fight food waste its essential for us when we train kids gastro multiverse students learn how to make the most of the materials they work with for many it probably makes intuitive sense not to waste food. Here we have. Leftovers off Yellow Pepper you can see there is only. The top part because for. So were going to make a cup or not we have potato peel you can make also like a. Bit of. With some some seasoning fresh you know some fresh herbs and you can service either as a base to. Read or just like a fall weve been cooking. Were becoming experts on martha waved my mission in life is to. Buy by example leading by example makes social just randomly the norm i guess strongly that is concerned and needs relates to people to bridge opportunities to fight hunger to find more nutrition to fire especially these inequalities that we live in brazil in latin america and so many places in the world. Poverty in brazil has risen sharply three years ago the country plummeted into recession and unemployment soared its now at about thirteen percent many pensioners struggle to get by yet brazil could be so rich it has vast Natural Resources and fertile land still many people cant afford fresh produce. The gap between poor and rich is vast the buffet david heads and his crew prepared was for a meeting of the World Economic forum on latin america earlier this year. Seven hundred politicians and Business Leaders munched on thing a food made of scraps and rejects prepared by the young cooks from poor families. Been made cullen a retreat fit for the rich and powerful. Home of owners. The message is good food doesnt have to be expensive. David heads also wants to provide direct aid to people in need to the homeless. One of our dreams just to be able to fend for herself is because of all the legislation we were not able to do but we hope in the future we can also change the laws. And these young people show that social gastronomy is a movement thats gaining momentum. Not so very well. As it will never know what will surface. Fields. And now we head from brazil to Southeast Asia in two thousand and sixteen million miles fifteen years of military dictatorship officially came to an end the economy is now growing and Foreign Investment is on the rise but so far most Development Efforts have been limited to urban areas like the countrys largest city young gone. In rural areas meanwhile people nave in extreme poverty and many a willing to pin their hopes on anything that might offer them a way out of it. Ok its Early Morning in mid lock. The smell of oil and diesel hangs in the air. Amid this sea of bamboo metal rods and canvas the camp begins to stir. The generators hum is a constant sound track here. Moment a mix of paste to protect against the sun itll be a long day out in the scorching heat. And soon shell join her husband whos already drilling for oil. A few more quiet minutes. Then its time for them to go. We have to get out in the oil field really early because even by nine am the sun is already unbearable for. The young family moved down here from their parents farm with nothing but the ambition to succeed. Mom in todays husband know when is just twenty one years old but hes already been. For four years now. Their families scrape together enough money so the couple could buy the necessary equipment. Theyve now drilled four wells. We use air pressure to pump out the oil but the longer we have the deeper we have to drill to reach the oil. Amid the generators and noise even the youngest of children. My daughter is only four years old. The twenty five year old admits its not an ideal place to raise children. But she doesnt really have the luxury to worry about that. The oil she pops out of the ground here is keeping them out of grinding poverty and that you know if we were at home drilling in our parents fields wed make about one or two dollars a day thats nothing. It costs five hundred dollars to get the rights to an oil field. Thats far too much for us in minimal. Thats why he came here a year ago with his wife as a day laborer. Now he earns about one hundred twenty dollars a month. Im here to get rich at some point i want to live a happy life without any war ease. To send men who cross the oil from a depth of around four hundred meters. No one thinks about Workplace Safety standards here this is a world living by its own rules. The authorities just turn a blind eye and have done so for decades. The problem is the oil is getting harder and harder to find. I can only work for a few hours a day because after a while we only get water out of the ground then we have to wait until the oil draws in again. Works for another oil farmer who sells the black gold to refineries nearby. But the twenty one year old would like to be his own boss one day. An oil drill is really expensive even a used one costs about a thousand u. S. Dollars ill probably have to say for a while but the job here is ok its much easier than field work. Life here is a rustic a bit like living in the wild west during the gold rush. Makes to cooking for her small family on a wood burning stove. Although a proper kitchen would be nice she says like the ones on t. V. But thats a dream shell have to wait for. With oil there are ups and downs and no guarantee is that sometimes we make losses but at least we have enough to live on and support our families. As evening nears the searing heat cools a little. And neighbors come together and chew betel nuts with an inexpensive stimulant thats in men whose wife rolls up and leaves. The earth the way i hope that in a few years well have saved enough to get out of here. If you know i would really like to open up my own little shop. In a few ways. At the side of the road we meet made show when at the end of the day she goes around with buckets and rags to soak up the spillage her eldest child is in the ninth grade so the family needs to squeeze out every penny to afford it. I now know when i have enough i boil the liquid to separate the oil from the water then i can sell it which doesnt bring in much money but its something. Men bought as a place full of dreamers. Theres no Running Water or showers here so they wash themselves anyway they can. Mow when dreams of a real house and an s. U. V. Of a good life away from the hastily prepared meals and their little hut. You know our daughter should be able to be whatever she wants to be maybe a doctor that would be nice. Its the end of the day for the fortune hunters of men law. Tomorrow is another day to work and to dream. This weekend global ideas were off to madagascar and fish stocks have long lean on the decline in local coastal waters. But in a remote bay in the country south people may have found a solution seek you compass their very quick pillow with chinese gomez who are willing to pay high prices for them all reported the cut for saying that they did that to meet local aqua farm has been faced a few challenges on the way over here. Its midnight one kilometer off the coast of madagascar. The aqua farmers of temple over there signing in as they head out to their sea cucumber pens. Its only during a full moon or a new moon that the water is shallow enough for the aqua farmers to go and count their stocks and harvest mature specimens sea cucumbers are found in all the worlds oceans its estimated that they comprise twelve hundred species. You know because in china theyre considered a delicacy one kilo of dried sea cucumber fetches up to a thousand u. S. Dollars. During the day the leathery a kind of germs bury themselves in the sand the farmers have to come out every two weeks because the stocks are vulnerable to disease and theft. And the ngo Blue Ventures helped the village set up their farms about ten years ago now its employees way the c. Q. Congress to make sure they meet the four hundred gram threshold required to send them to market. One one collect two hundred seventy grams to divert the biggest. Yeah good news of all no there are rules safeguarding the hatcheries we work things out with the breeders. For example its forbidden to enter the pens of other farmers without that consent all fishing is also forbidden except for crayfish youre allowed to catch them because they feed on the sea cucumber has all these rules are designed to protect the sea. Was a local democracy it was already. Before the aqua farms were set up overfishing had depleted stocks in the bay of assassins. Today this once again a wide variety of fish along with snails and crabs although seventy percent of people in the country live below the poverty line this village is experiencing a certain degree of prosperity. What. Madame seraphin was one of the first to start farming in two thousand and nine. Before the sea cucumber farms i had no way to improve my standard of living. By setting up my own pen ive earned enough to send my two children to school. So that. And ive been able to buy some nice and useful things for my house i also have a herd of goats now. When you feed. Those who really want to show off their wealth here own pigs there are many in temple of the. The animals are only slaughtered at christmas time. During the day when the sea cucumbers have buried themselves deep in the sand the farmers come out to clean the enclosures. Theres so much they dont know about the shy creatures. But theyve learned that they tend to grow better when water is allowed to flow unhindered through the pens. Catherine taylor is one of only a small number of scientists who study sea cucumber. Its a pretty special creature. That theyre farming here and its really valuable on the International Market and so bringing it into a Community Like this and a sustainable aquaculture kind of way makes a huge difference for the people here but at the same time its also an animal thats vital for the ecosystem in this area and its been. Very very over fish in most of its territories around the world and so bring it in here its really good for the sea grass its kind of a natural filtration system for the area because it goes along just kind of hoovers up the sand and then it cleans out detritus and micro and bacteria and things like that. With part of the profits from their haul the farmers pay for security staff to keep watch over the enclosures day and night. And. The greatest threat right now comes after the sea cucumber. Thats when theres a lot of money here in every family every household. For you. That attracts thieves especially since there are no banks where people can deposit their earnings. Thats why people have to hide that money and. Theres always the threat of feeds raiding the village. Yet the kids. Are trading partner. In the provincial capital to lay are is also concerned about security. This is where they breed the animals to be raised in the bay at temple a bit later io t. Will process the mature sea cucumbers once theyve been harvested to get from dont. Which is four hundred fifty two is the final process product which is about fifteen grams we first got zim which means we cook them as a bottom here and we press and after that we cook them in finally we would drive them now as a customer a good product with him before he can eat it just to riyadh rate then you can have it as a salon when it is pretty soft you chop it and you have some sun and another way would be to eat dance should have more to it she young sea cucumber costs the farmers and temple of a sixteen cents after being harvested nine months later its worth a dollar thirty on average the aquaculture here not only pays off for the farmers but also benefits the entire bed and the other animals that live in it.
