on multitasking steve the modern message, because if we do too much, we paid it all wrong. we messed things up, risking brain damage. so let's stop this self sabotage, humans and multitasking watch. now on youtube, v w documentary. the, how did you pay for your coffee? this morning, did you use coins or your phone? the answer it likely depends on the country. you're from my bakery in berlin. i don't have a choice. they only take cash, that's the norm here. but in india, for example, digital wallets are becoming more popular than physical ones. why did different countries have different ways of paying for things that's coming up on this episode

of made the w's business magazine? i'm of the xena. welcome. and this is what we'll also cover and yes, rise farmers feed much of the world now and export them. a sewing food and security, sustainable farming, a bit of drought, fruit farmers and spain test uncharted waters. and no laughing matter laughing gas as endangering the climate. franklin's bills bred cheese and don't money has countless names and these days it also has different forms cash card and digital here in germany, cash still king. well, india is becoming a front runner and digital money. even when the countryside payment ups are wide spread. why the difference or the at the grocery store or guessing a snack? i don't have any cash on use in the country or the city. hey, digitally. it's no problem in india or the stuff either. yeah,

the main advantage of a digital transaction is that we can send money to anyone anywhere quickly on them . secondly, if i don't have money, i can make a payment by borrowing from online credit banking. and almost everyone pays digitally like hearing deli, even this head dresser appreciates the benefits, what they model customer doesn't have to keep bills and coins and their wallet. and suppose it gets lost, that the cell phone becomes your wallet. land and they are the top dogs in india, pgm with its headquarters, annoyed to know how to over 30000 employees. they are active in india. and i've already entered into that 1st partnerships in japan and they are conducting research in canada. pgm has also spread. so quickly because the app doesn't need to

be connected to a bank account with pay tm, people can simply load money into the virtual while it's on the cell phone and pay . currently 94000000 people in india use the app every month. india is a very unique story in terms of where the, adopting just an ecosystem. india has highest number of payment transactions across the wire. so it has beaten off a neighboring countries, whether it is china or some other big countries. we out of the district actually started fast, but didn't do anything to it is so easy. adopting that. if you go into the a 5 year c, d, a 6 that do, you will find people bank approval buy and you will find the merchant excepting. so all of this, those payments was about gemini, it's fall behind when it comes to digit on payments that the weekly mortgage in berlin. cash is still the number one form of payment travel. i only pay cash. so what do others care about?

my account number. i just use cash flow is that that's typical for germans, according to a research institute, 60 percent of customers in gemini, still always paying cash for most retailers on the market. don't even offer comp payments. before i moved it as this, i suspected it wouldn't necessarily be worthwhile is because with the card payment service provider, you would have fees. so like you would have to charge something like that, i think on 2 or 3 percent of the c 9, because not many people want to pay by card here. i don't know that it would be worth it. isaac google does that. i can go to the american company. paypal is one of the most popular digital payment methods in gemini, with paypal. custom is linked to credit card or bank account and can use it to pay online in europe. the biggest markets in the region besides germany are the u. k. elite and spain. but we know that there are many more countries in europe. so there is a lot of growth potential target, this types of bucks

a joint digital initiative up the european union is in its infancy the digital euro, a kind of uniform digital payment is to be introduced by 2026 at the earliest. but according to the digital association bit com, it's happening to slowly before the end of the bio, i know that we are demanding an electronic payments to be accepted everywhere, to beg and take belgium. that's which mandated during the corona pandemic, that at least one like tronic payment method to be accepted in every store in the local shops or in the bakery around the corner. here he said, you often see the sign or something, no card payment and off the fields that's simply impractical and also overwhelming for many people who come to germany, stuff and aren't familiar, smile before them. so what can you learn from india in terms of digital payments? in india, it was the government to set up a central government infrastructure that old transactions run for a at the time to the displeasure of many indian banks in europe to thanks

a currently blocking a digital free access system. instead of large banks that a policy we're going to see the sector so you can certainly make payment. it's pretty, i'd say the transaction costs, which digital the, i think this transaction costs of no, very minimal anyways. but you have these gatekeepers in the, the, even in supplementing luggage will charge 2 to 5 percent transaction fees. now, it is clear that if you made the system very low cost and for the excess of, of the companies that are benefiting from a charging, but transaction will be the loser. so there is still a long way to go before you are a pm, be able to pay for that lunch or fill up the gas tank with the tap on the cell phone, like they do in india. or

next report also takes us to india. the world's top rice exporter provides 40 percent of the rise on the world market. but that's changing right now. bad weather conditions have devastated crops and india is running out of rice to feed its own population. the governments and post and export them. that's raising concerns about a global shortage. new methods are needed to feed the world a good job. the region in northern india rice paddies as far as the i can see farmer's harvest, the plants which remain personally submerged for weeks. what race cultivation is a traditional method that needs huge amounts of water? rice is not an aquatic plan, took merely tolerates water. the problem more and more often, it doesn't rain, not even during the monsoon. the rainy season from june to september,

dr. periods are getting longer and rains are often heavy rather than steady. but the hard thing is that they are not sufficient, and the rainfall is not sufficient to grow rice well, so they depend on ground water irrigation. the lack of rain causes the soil to dry out even further. that's why farmers now use water from canals and wells, causing ground water levels to sink. paradoxically, even more rice has been planted. india's main farming regions lie in the north where the popular bus monte variety is crow. india's rice exports have doubled over the last 4 years from about 10000000 tons in 2019 to more than 22000000 tons water shortages and increasing exports. the gap is growing ever wider, which is why the indian government has now slammed on the brakes and band the

exports of light price to begin with value spies. so to highest on was one by leo's like up to july did out by united nations golden echo told me to send that feel so good. the forecasts are private, the leg by illegal. this has led to a government's bmw, of a good thing, the exports on the initial billions of people across blue on the god category over that is that has witnessed that sport band from india is made up for commodity for people in asia, africa. and maybe just teach at among other places, indian rice is exported to the u. s. europe, iran and other middle eastern countries, high temperatures and the ill nino weather phenomenon with its on usual air and ocean currents are causing india's water supplies to drop even further agriculture

. they are currently consumed 80 percent of its fresh water. the amount of water needed to produce specific foods is called virtual or hidden water. this allows an ecological water footprint to be calculated similar to a c o 2 footprint and rice farming footprint is especially huge. so how much virtual water do foods need? $60000.00 leaders of it are needed for a single kilogram of rice. the leader of orange juice requires 40000 and a kilo of beef takes 20000 leaders to produce. so how can rice be grown more sustainably? farmers are seeking new solutions. money that can be on us arctic solid, the water level of her son, cuz we have to have 3 meters in our country each year. man, uh, you know, during the documents we decided to so rice directly to find is it uses less water level. so to be is talking with direct sewing, the rice has its own directly into the water, but instead onto

a non flooded fields, an efficient alternative that saves resources. or did you do? i deduct that he was directed by showing i've saved almost 30 percent of my water. this doesn't compromise the quality of my race at all and i can that's one i do not got i got the punjab state government offers farmers of 1500 rupees or about 18 euros in compensation per season. if they switch to the new methods, farmers and groceries both hope to rely on other types of grains and vegetables in the future. instead of water intensive, rice, ginger potatoes, onions and tomatoes are also traditionally grown in india. this way, farming could become more responsible and more sustainable. the climate change is threatening crops, not just in india to see oranges like these are harder and harder to come by in

spain. the country known as the food basket of europe is facing, extend the droughts, much of its land risks, turning into desert food farmers, i know, facing a bitter bottle for water and dried up and even parched the bits of picture of the orange plantations between cold, about and seville is already clear that the farm is, would not be able to harvest the $1600000.00 tons of the previous year. jose fernandez the head a deal on the way to his plantation, which is experiencing extreme drought the get don't. right. but i'm telling you already out you i planted and grew them. oh, i don't me that i'm so sorry to see them like this. okay. but i don't know how long it has in 14 years. i've never seen them as bad as they are now. so i'm not kidding

. okay. and then these are areas here that have no oranges at all. so others have a few the federal headed as, but the owners are very small. many are not even good for use and the more you need pass to the tree should be in full bloom. a lot of them, but it's a lot about the document to pay the thousands of families need war to for that crops. but does the look at the central reservoir shows it's not coming. only 10 percent of the lakes capacity remains experts and now trying to be better prepared at least for the next round. the so eat up with time, the need to improve the water supply already can keep it and meet them. i mean that also means more storage possibility as well. okay, but i see the put even do you have 11, we have to optimize your use of water or come into the digital ization. so when i mean what i like it to you, this request special senses on this thing to know if it's available. they already

show how much moisture is in the soil. and they measured the diameter of the trees . if they contract, the oranges need water. a small everything we are more than 20 percent more efficient than other farms through the use of technology paralegal. okay. and we know when and how much century needs see a good way and i will come to available. this knowledge is crucial for adapting agriculture to climate change. but this alone is not enough to make the south of spain viable witness from the same people. but i didn't think i deal, we have to stop the action of irrigation before they approve the management of water. and we also need to promote the cultivation of non irritated species. again, almost how many we must try to find a solution together with different measures. so i know the solution is to irrigate with even less water starts up in malaga,

is developing software for this purpose. it also uses data from sensors. but the subtle differences, the analysis, artificial intelligence is being used. the v i is the soul of this project and most of the sensors is supposed to be the technology. i think it's all there already. you understand, but the application of a, i will help us scale is a problem general. you know what? we will be able to serve many trotter's and above all, but in the future give each farmer individualized assistance, did exactly what they need. the protocol is made to see other success getting it to see that. however, success also depends on communication. simpler baxa. farm is receive henson advice by what site can also respond almost on the we assume that water savings are between 20 and 40 percent for other cutters, oranges. steep dollars or even one year though, i was doing this translate the current one cannot be prevented even with

a i. but the technology will help us get by with less water for longer. protecting the earth from sheets and drought. that's also the job of our ozone layer of blocks out the sun's most harmful rays like a shield for our planet. we, on the other hand, haven't been protecting it enough. and the 1980 scientist discovered issued a hole in the ozone layer caused by chloral. floral carbons, these gases are used, and refrigerators and hair sprays. through the whole uv rays were able to sign on to our earth, and our skim unimpeded to fix the damage. all of the world's countries met at the u . n. and ratified the montreal protocol banning the dangerous gas protocol, put the ozone layer on the road to recovery, but it left out one crucial substance, laughing gas, it's more harmful for our environment than any of the others. but why is it barely

talked about the nitrous oxide, better known as slicing gas? mm. this is no joke. oh, yeah. it is in the past that can become now the just remaining swear to the ozone layer and could undo one of the biggest environmental successes that humanity is ever experience. and as if that wasn't enough, it's also super potent greenhouse gas that makes global warming and a lot worse. so why has no one talking about nitrous oxide? and how can we stop this stuff from building up in our atmosphere? you probably know nitrous oxide from things that will kenneth this, but what is it into oh, is a colorless gas that's made up of nitrogen and oxygen being as kim is joel just briefly 1st synthesize that in $1772.00. and that chemist tests experimented with a gas and discovered that bracing it in makes you feel light headed. he called it laughing gas in the 19th century. nitrous oxide became

a real hit at so called laughing gas parties, which were basically a bunch of rich people getting high on it. at one of these parties, american dentist power as well as got the idea, it's inhaled, the gas as a painkiller. before having it tooth extracted. he introduced the method into medicine where it still is used today. and apparently it hasn't lost any of it's a traction as a potty direct either or has to do this thing is levels of nitrous oxide was stable for centuries, but the amount we pumped into the atmosphere has increased by a staggering 30 percent in the past. 40 years alone, there are many reasons for that and we get to them. first, we need to understand why this much nitrous oxide and our address here is the problem. well, nitrous oxide, not only destroys the ozone layer, it also works as a greenhouse gas and trips. the heat from the sun in the atmosphere is the 3rd most abundant greenhouse gas of the carbon dioxide and re sign. it's just no one really

knows about it or somebody needs to be an advocate for the 3rd most important, greenhouse gas. and so here i am. this is eric davidson. he's an environmental scientist who has been working on nitrous oxide for more than 30 years. we need to look under every stone to try to find ways to mitigate climate change. ignoring it is a bad idea. it's around $265.00 times better a tripping heat than c o 2. and once it's in the atmosphere, it stays there for about $114.00. yes, accounting for about 6 percent of global warming, which doesn't sound like a lot. but when we have such a small window to stay below 1.5 degrees, every single emission, this is david canter. he researches how nitrogen pollution and food security are connected. so where does all of this nitrous oxide in the atmosphere even come from the biggest source accounting for about 2 thirds of all human costs. nitrous oxide

emissions, agriculture the good old days, pharmacist, minority composts, or ponds that find nitrogen to make their soil richer and nitrogen. but everything changed in the early 20th century. that's when german chemist talbot and chi bush invented a method that turned agriculture upside down. they later won the nobel prize for this thanks to the so called habit process, it was suddenly possible to produce massive amounts of ammonia fertilizer and put massive amounts of nitrogen onto our truck. in the last 60 is the amount of nitrogen fertilizer we use has increased 10 fold. this has made it possible to feed a growing population. just we're over doing it a bit. every year we spent more than a $100000000.00 tons of synthetic nitrogen fertilizer on our crops. but only about half of it makes its way into the plants. the rest is taken up by different microbes and the soil which turn it into nitrous oxide. among other things,

the i pc estimates that for every 100, the loss of nitrogen applied at least one kilo is last us into o n. depending on where you are, it can be much more. we found it to be as high as 3 or 4 percent in the systems where we were in um, in this sort of north central aisle that stephen hall and environmental scientists research and greenhouse gas emissions from soil. and so there can be tremendous geographic variations. the other big players, the chemical industry accounting for around 14 percent of nitrous oxide emissions. here it comes as a byproduct when we make a to pick and nitric acid. we need these for producing nylon cars. fertilize this or explosives. in 2018. the biggest blond into us admitted into o equivalent to the carbon dioxide pollution from 2000000 cars. in the coming decades, emissions are expected to increase even more. if they are more and more people on

the planet, we need more food, make more waste and products. that's why we need to think about solutions as most human make. nitrous oxide emissions come from agriculture. this is where we can expect the greatest success. so it's inevitable that there will always be some nitrous oxide emissions. question is, can we kind of redesign our agricultural system to make it much, much more efficient? and so that we can sort of the couple this food production always partially the couple, the food production from the nitrous oxide production, the biggest fix would be to waste less for tonight is that we should use just as much as needed when the crops needed spots we won't know what the right amount of nitrogen to apply is until the season is over. and so this is a real challenge for farmers, right? who have to, you know, maximize their long term income to say to stay in business. many farmers supply the nitrogen and fall off to the harvest. besides,

it's easier to plow then insofar must have less to do. but has no concept growing the nitrogen just it's there until the early spring. and a lot of it is close to the environment. optimized for lies less can also help like adding nitrous occasion inhibitors that can slow down how quickly my troops transform ammonium for a special coaching on the fluids lies that can delay the release of nitrogen and the soil and make it available when the plants actually need it changing the way we farm can also help, like planting nitrogen 6 and crops, rotating krupps or applying to fruit tonight, as well as close to the routes as possible. sounds straightforward. so why aren't all farmers doing this? time is a very constrained in the decisions that they can make it constrained by regulatory forces. market forces, cultural forces, behavioral forces, knowledge forces, social forces. all of those actors shape would have found that does on the steel prize of farmer actually has a quite narrow decision making space. so it's complicated,

what's much less complicated. it's reducing nitrous oxide emissions from industry poll. we need to do is put these little things into smoke stacks. we're nitrous oxide, processed through they act as a catalyst and help break up nitrous oxide into di, nitrogen and oxygen foster. and they're extremely effective getting rid of almost all the nitrous oxide but not all companies do it. and there's in very few countries. is there really a legal requirement for them to do it? that's not a technological problem. it's not really even an economic problem. it's basically a political problem. it's policies are in place, they can be very effective. 30 years ago, countries into you implemented the nitrogen directive. its goal was to protect water from nitric pollution. as a result, emissions from agricultural, sorry, was decreased by 21 percent. just policies like these are few and far between. so again, it's complicated. we're still trying to come up with solutions that work within the

current system reduction, which makes sense. but going to need to continue to produce a lot of hoops for the well, we're not going to change that systems overnight for sure. but part of the scientific community is, responsibility should be in shining a light, showing us the waste boyd and what future was crude. it looked like in different scenarios. we will never be able to totally cut into o emissions, but reducing them is possible and their agency needed. so how will you be paying for your next spanish oranges at the supermarket? i'll be using my phone. that's it for this week's episode of may just use business magazine. i'm obviously not. thank you so much for watching and take care of the
