And now its time for something savory this weeks global snack comes from the philippines. I. X. s a poor neighborhood northeast of the capital manila is where nini a largo house or snack bar. Its mostly hungry workers who come here they want food that is fast cheap and filling. The chef specializes in the popular snack lugo a bowl cost 10. 00 pesos thats not even 20 euro cents. Youll go along with rice porridge with chicken and rice and i use chicken feet because theyre very affordable for everyone. Anyone can buy it so affordable that even children can buy it as a snack.

That day i mean i manage with my mother used to cook every morning. Thats why i try to eat it every day. I know. Some regions in the philippines also have a sweet version of lugo but here in pioche us customers love the spicy taste no matter what the time of day. 2 and now in global ideas we are off to kenya the east african country has a high Domestic Energy demand and in many sectors including the t. V. Industry people are keen to find alternatives to fossil fuels can be africas leading. In kerry chair county our colleague canadia bowman discovered several Processing Companies that are using Sustainable Energy sources from the local area. Sunshine. Vibrant green extends as far as the eye can see. The fields are covered in. Which grow very well here. This is kenyas most important growing region. That has a plantation here hes one of 600000 smallholder farmers who work with the Kenya Tea Development agency. T. Has provided his family with a good living t. And. T. From his farm is processed just a few kilometers away and the factory which is also affiliated with. The workers 1st separate the tea leaves into equally sized batches afterwards theyre dried in a process that takes several steps. The drying process requires boilers like these they consume a great deal of firewood. Most of this wood comes from the factories own plantation. Trees are growing scarce and. 2 years ago the government imposed a moratorium on logging in public forests. And thats also why the factory uses burkhead. A number of countries have begun exploring the biomass. As a promising source of energy. This and its also very easy to transport. And from units we told. Them. That he factory has already been able to replace one 5th of its what consumption with bearcats theyre hoping to increase that amount ideally making firewood unnecessary. But a c. E. O. Diaz chavez has visited several t. Factories. Shes having a project to investigate whether switching to pick cats would make tea production more sustainable. That entails assessing the various processing steps such as fermentation as well as analyzing the entire production chain. How much raw material and how much energy is consumed to tain the final product. Percepts mint draws on 24 criteria that researchers developed a number of years ago. We look at not just at them vironment tell us about we are looking also for this so shout economic and even afford that this on governance or policy and regulations so we consider. Off the whole sustainability assets and. This is suspect has to be done for that he production and also for the bearcats. Thats why the Renewable Energy specialist is visiting this factory. Sugarcane by products are often simply dumped at the roadside where they rot and emit the Greenhouse GasesCarbon Dioxide and methane. But here theyre turned into a valuable resource. The same language circular economy so this is what we want to promote with bio energy and by economy how you can really have a rounded cycle for the biomass. Huge amounts of this waste are produced during sugar production 100 tons of waste can be turned into roughly 45 tonnes of briquettes 1st the sugarcane back us has to be dried and shredded. And then its molded into parkhead under high pressure. Since theyre made out of a waste product no additional land has to be put under cultivation thats a key indicator for sustainability transportation emissions are also taken into account the way theyre working is really to consider radius where they can they can leave their debris get chaffed long as they are within the 100 to max even 200 kilometers is still it in that range that the emissions are not too high for transport. In this case the raw material doesnt have far to travel. A large sugarcane mill is located just a few kilometers from the park at factory. The workers dry some of the sugar cane back us by hand that also provides a regular source of income. One of the sustainability criteria takes job creation into account and also the extent to which women benefit the production of sugarcane briquettes is now an emerging industry here. At any one day we have about 80 to 90 ladies driving we went by gas for haas so you can see all of you have created a job of about 180 to 200 people a month. Although the park has offered many benefits only a few factories are using them they dont have the necessary experience and training. And thats why the tab a sonic. Factory is conducting training sessions workers from other Companies Come here to learn how to best combine bearcats and work so as not to overload their boilers and to phase out firewood as much as possible. That would help preserve the remaining woodlands and protect biodiversity it would also benefit the Tea Plantations and the farmers. Farmers who are affiliated with a like is a keep it cure we might soon be able to profit in a different way to. Become. Expensive and the money and the money saved goes through the promise last year the price of tea fell on the world marke
