The goal is to fight the effects of climate change by reversing desertification.

A film by Amelia Martyn-Hemphill for BBC World Hacks. Like, Share, Engage.</s>One great week all about one great game</s>Uche Ikpeazu praised the influence that Jabo Ibehre has had on his, and Cambridge United’s, game after their 3-0 win over Forest Green Rovers in Sky Bet League Two.

Ikpeazu bagged a brace while Ibehre opened the scoring – their fifth and fourth goals of the season, respectively – to seal the three points against the Green.

And Ikpeazu revealed he has never had a strike partner like Ibehre, 34, who joined from Carlisle in the summer, who has helped develop his game as much.

“He’s been a great signing, he’s been great for me and he’s been great for the team,” the 22-year-old former Watford man said.

“I’ve never had a playerthat can come up to meand give his experience.

“He’s been very, very important to me since he’s come to the club and he’s always coming up to me and giving me advice on ways to use my body, because he’s been there and he has that experience.

“It’s not just what he’s doing on the pitch – everyone can see what he’s capable of doing, he’s a goalscorer – it’s the information he’s giving us young lads and experience he’s giving

us on the pitch, and that’s what’s important.”

Ikpeazu is now the U’s top goalscorer and, while believing he could have perhaps scored more on the night against Forest Green, he is relishing the brand of football his team are playing under Shaun Derry and admitted he is “hungry” to be better.

“It’s brilliant. We play good football and we’re starting to click as a team – and long may it continue,” Ikpeazu said.

“We got the goal in the first half which was important but I should have taken my chance but, like I said, it’s a team game and we worked hard in the second half and got our goals. It was a great team performance, as a collective.”

He added: “I’ve played 11 games, 10 starts, five goals so I can’t complain.

“I was a bit disappointed [with missing chances against Forest Green]. I’m hungry to do better.

“I should have had three if I’m being brutally honest with myself but I’m getting fitter, I’m getting stronger."
