00:01Who says you are ever too old to learn greener ways to farm?
00:05That's exactly what 90-year-old Mebo Isiko is doing.
00:18She is among 60 community members, young and old,
00:23training at Uganda's Eco Mama Global Village
00:26in ways to build resilience to climate change.
00:30I am in Ecuador.
00:31I am in Ecuador and I am in Canada.
00:37This system is a modern化 and I am in Ecuador.
00:40It is in the world's modern化 and I am in Canada.
00:49As the climate warms and changes conditions,
00:52rural communities have to adapt
00:54and adopt more sustainable practices.
00:57This includes reducing reliance on citizens
00:59synthetic agriculture chemicals while maintaining soil fertility.
01:04Trainer Geoffrey Bunde guides the group through different techniques.
01:07Here, they learn how to prepare an organic pest repellent using ash and other ingredients.
01:14So now, we boil, it turns brown.
01:18After turning brown, we put it down, it constrates, and we get this potassium.
01:24It works like saipa, as you know saipa.
01:28But ours, it is organic, not inorganic.
01:32We don't apply any acids.
01:34So after here, we fritter like this, then we take for spraying.
01:39Everything is here, potassium and zinc, we get from this ash.
01:43The group also learns practical techniques for growing vegetables and setting up gardens
01:48at home.
01:50It is one year and a half since I began teaching these people, but they are my witnesses.
01:56They have changed their lives.
01:57This is because they are getting vegetables which are even organic.
02:01And proving that the youth are not the only ones shaping the future, everyone has a role
02:07to play in building a more sustainable tomorrow.
02:11I love it, I love it, I love it.
