is not responsible make up your own mind, dw, made for mines. the agriculture is a stronger, especially in developing countries where climate change is also an immune intent. hold on while come on. finally got the body and you're all watching equally in depth. as a journalist, when i traveled across the country, one of the biggest problems and the most common problem that i see are the increasing strong. those are farmers and that's, that's what the declining in and yet that on or done it, is that to offer opportunity and hope, hope with an eval, wondering what the mileage bought on each end. and in dallas western states on the
3:31 pm
hot astra is one of the most droughts preowned region in the country. it has also been an international headlines with a high number of pharmacies, sides that happen too long dry spells are often a direct cause for economic distress. but for one community here, switching to a drought trans assistance crops, what ip has made all the difference? these phones as i put 2 spots of light spun from a 900 metre, long silk thread. the 2 precious they provide chief at euro cut off with an income, the thoughts a welcome, new development. i'm gonna have to make no money with cost and today i'm only about a $100000.00 rupees a month to look. i know there is still some clerical fields,
3:32 pm
even more of the water. my roster is traditional cotton grabbing region. but climate change is taking its toll with increasingly long periods of drought, followed by heavy rains, which destroy the hobbies and threatened livelihoods. as a result, the highest suicide rate among farm is in the last 6 months of 2022 desperation lead more than a 1000 farm is in my roster to take their own lives. the village is really the hindi wood for cotton is also affected by climate change. in the past, everyone had made a living from cotton, including she about 0 possible on his family. but the plans needed not to go to. that's one of the reasons why costs and production went into decline. apologize. we have to constantly spray the cutting currently the, besides an ottoman due to the soil test, it says that will cause an endless cycle of spending on the crop. all the,
3:33 pm
anything from it sealed, i will stuff the codes that got caught up in 2018 drought to destroy the harvest for the village of really it was the result of the time tyler ducks, nevada. we had just been elected village chief. he's been hearing about the potential of silk reduction or sorry, culture in india is every culture is financially supported by a government scheme called them like on the national real employment guarantee act launched in 2006. it helps distressed real communities in india by helping local secure a stable income. it provides farm is with nearly 85 percent of the investment needed to set up a so clam rearrange unit. how did us decided to take the gamble for you? it's all good. i would say we made a fight as a 1st goal,
3:34 pm
was to improve financial conditions, villages nike way. so because the high yield crop has got to monitor the value on the market. um, i mean it's a high demand tech style, monica, and secondly, it can be gram with very little most of what started out as an agricultural experiment has transformed into a knowledge scale. so climbing operation today, nearly 600 farm is from really of switched to serve you culture, your vehicle, our legal. i started out with 2 silver eggs. this i'm from not they got 200 kilos of so good coons. it's boy of love. when the farmer sold his product 482-0000 rupees, he couldn't believe it. he'd never made that kind of money from 10 acres of company farming was for boy, just 2 acres. it's terry culture. he owned a lot of money for people. that's how it started this, sorry coat 10 model that really soon started to cut shown in the light region. a growing number of farm is a now planting mowbray trees, which a catch very short to improves the harvest. that leaves provide food for the sofa
3:35 pm
and the mobile trees, a hearty grove of several years, i'm requiring much less will to fund makes them ideal for this drought stricken region. according to kind of coach experts seem hanukkah, she works closely with the farmers in myra hosta instead of got your con keels pesticides at bowie, and you're going to be transitions. so that is another thing days because you know, so you learn more about is seeing there is out of the danger and then uh, in, in reading that doesn't, doesn't, does. she's also a very specific one side of it, i guess a few bits and buttons and of the things i use, but not a bit of people's decides because of in your diet. and zip is sensitive. the villages run the reaming unit and really together as soon as the non, if i have hunched each farm i receive the 100000. for the next 20 days, they feed the cats dependents with more readings. several times a day off the but the caterpillars thought spinning the precious silk thread around
3:36 pm
themselves to form a kick in. just a few days later, the kings of harvested and sold up the soap markets with prizes giving according to wait to many women and really also employed in a business poplar thought the way now self sufficient and not dependent on others for money. even the men in the house, respect to some of this, but it's definitely boosted up confidence as women. me. so i see you both now. but there's also a delicate side critics. a many children are employed in so production, well the cut it off and since that's not the case, and really another criticism is that to obtain a single long thread from the can, the law of a mustn't be allowed to hutch. so the thought to work is heat, the gains and water to kill the law of a symbol retrieve also need want to right now the form is that using precious groundwater, but kind of us and his team of set up several problems to collect ray more to how
3:37 pm
are you telling you if i'm boss is very much 5, most of billing the phone for or just using them as a storage to boom. the don't worry about, i'm starting to fall apart and then use it for the issue. and it is not at all would recommend it because you have ground water is safe, which is in the or on the ground and it is safe from the sun. but if you are feeling you are born by giving some catchment, i'm diverting that in. what the, what, what reading you are getting during the season with the bar. it is what it is, a good practice. the silk for movie has now made quite a name for itself. that's the, the pharmacy used to have to travel a long way to the market to sell that could choose which increased that costs so excited to get the going to good after one. yeah. what did that once quantity on quantity improve the how much we told the trade is that if you're interested in how supply does it, then come to our village and get yourself to walk in the community. so today those
3:38 pm
traders come here to biology just when i say on the farm is don't have to travel anywhere to sell it or the has all these are basically the bottom level cuz i need to go to the pharmacy and really have also received financial support from the local authorities, banks as to reluctant to then to farm it's. ready some of the villages have now achieved a negative prosperity and their own cause or reason a house. ready or somebody about just give me a minute, come get them. but the biggest, the chief, my based on the last 5 years. i mean we haven't had any farmers in the village can box. i saw it on me because of a lot of work. when you do go email, did you take place of up as up? i got from the what i that's the biggest winning yes. subsidies. somebody me, lou my. ready the honey, my held, illuminated the beeswax and my live bomb when we can find the honey, these for all of this. and while the actually bad for the mileage,
3:39 pm
because they come bead with the white bees, which is actually the species that house but dissolve, are biodiversity. if it was y, z in agriculture and honey, these can help boost the incomes or fall mazda and the productivity of the field. i'm back to naturally. nathan, saying, is busy inspecting is because he's, he's a specialist in environmental biotechnology. after researching chose will be diseases in germany, and it was really heated, done to his home, down of luck know in 2015 and the region needs him. why the numbers have been declining here for tickets. without that part of nation book, farmers have seen a significant drop in the heats to compensate. living thing provides a pollination silva as to farmers by renting out honey bees. so i've got a disability at my job, the day to be calling these already set up in places like movies and music fields and transport them to new fields to the migration process like 3 for 5 months. golf
3:40 pm
production these 80 kilograms, then they can increase it to 100 kilograms by block, keeping all the markets so. ok. yeah, that's nathan think owns of housing cause these off the honey be a pest manufacturers to collect nicked up in 6 livid up to $100.00 in a single trip and can make 20 trips in a single day in the process. they move calling from plant to plant aging, the pollination of flowers, vegetables, and fruits. best single purpose here is to support the funds. unlike white bees that benefit farms as well as bio diversity. but all kinds of these are generally in decline because of one main factor. so when we use pesticides to kill the home for the best, we also can be useful to pass along with if in these because they directly feed on the plants that directly go to the uh, flaws they get be that i picked of the pesticides. so one of the major things is
3:41 pm
that in, across the globe, many countries have realized that in the vandals best decides which hum, it's not just humphrey fond practices that are impacting bees. climate change has altered rebel buttons disrupting seasonal connections between these and flowers. the uncertainty of the blooming season has put these on the immense stress as national statistics show in the last 25 years. india has lost more than 40 percent off. it's b stokes. this bomb was ease of tomatoes, chick bees and mustard have all suffered as a result regardless of how these fees are located, some 40 kilometers from loc, no, to the get by, let this lower heaters dry out unless a be comes along. if it sits on it, it gets more nutrients. my unit had gone down by 20 or 30 percent almost compared to all previous crops. this one is going great. all these flowers are doing with this blonde is 4 months old and is still growing. tax the honey bees,
3:42 pm
before i would run out of produce to harvest them 2 to 3 months. after loading of the threat, that best decides bows to honey on why these roms all have a switch to organic farming. because while beekeeping may help families via these head of the planet, the following it and dial 4 is the health keep other species of life and not in desperate need of protection. find to see that everyone can help save bees. one of the very easy methods of re preservation is to increase the number of lady plans. so it's very easy for us to just approve the weeds and truly what we don't realize is that they are actually a source of funding for the bees. when the means of gosh, crops on all day. so these, uh, you know, the kind of buffer and as a lawyer for the we these, and we need, these are the, was more numbers. so they're more likely to sustain the vagaries of nature. and
3:43 pm
they're more likely to try even as long as we play, they become a very, very good source of commit to it and fall in for the be. so what do you need those play essentially drew in feeding a growing population on maintaining bio diversity, which we really need to be has even come to represent the survival of the human species. and protection gives us and the bees, our best shot foster son, dimensions of life, it is essential for the creation of dna. and it is also a major component in commercial culture life. the only problem is the us supply of phosphorus is not unlimited. i'm more than 2 thirds of the was it is also phosphate truck. are located in a disputed conflict storage region in africa. in such a dicey scenario, our reporter has explored once the solution which is available to all of us. what's one of those dna and seats?
3:44 pm
8000000000 people. phosphorus, it's an essential element that sustains all life on earth. it's also in your p one that later. but the vast majority of it goes into making fertilizer. why? because without it, we wouldn't be able to grow no food. the problem is that there's a finite amount and roughly 70 percent of that comes from just one place. the bigger problem is that we're wasting most of what's already there. every individual is just throwing away it left the bread every day. for countries like india, which is 90 percent depending on imports, dwindling access could be alarming. plus, phosphorus is also causing some massive l g issues. but if the world's fruit security depends on it, what can we do about the potential shortage? what alternatives do we have and put our own p save us thanks to a german scientist boiling hundreds of gallons of urine in 1669. we saw on files for us, the 15th element, and the periodic table. fantastic is trying to find out how to make anyway,
3:45 pm
what is false are all organisms need fast tennis, central new trench and essential component of life. this is barbara came out and she's a renowned sort of a scientist based instance casual in canada. it's how does dna it's hard as part salvas consume us let that's it's part of our, our and i are today roughly 80 percent of the world's phosphorus is used for agriculture because it's a structural component of cells. it's essential for cell division and plant development. without enough of it plants or stunted and don't yield us much between increasingly using these chemical fertilizers on farms since the post world war 2 period. together with crap engineering, it spread the green revolution. the some massive increases in crop yields, especially in the global south and places like india, n 1960 a less than production was like, yeah, it will be the medium tens, nice. the are lovely and they production which step $315.00 in the sedation are
3:46 pm
about to charge you as a scientist at the indian institute of swale science. definitely. they give this credit for foreclosure application, because before it was there was no knowledge of mazda roadside fertilizer use increased 6 times from 1960 to 2000. so where do we get all of it from? to answer that question, we 1st need to show you the world's longest conveyor belt system, which can be seen from space. it's transporting the raw material phosphate rock from the blue chrome line across the western sahara desert. roughly 70 percent of the world's reserves are in the western sahara, heavily disputed territory currently controlled by morocco, which the un size has been unlawfully occupying the area rubble. army has been fighting for its independence. the largest preserves are spread across north africa, followed by china, presented in south africa and saudi arabia. less than 20 percent of the phosphorus using agriculture actually ends up in the food we eat. that's partly because
3:47 pm
phosphate fertilizer is your tori. sweet. inefficient. it binds easily with other minerals in this oil, which makes it unavailable for the cloud, but, and they kept 950 of costs with us to apply this. it was do get don't. they didn't give somewhat people to notice what our body, but maybe 80 percent of that. would it be best if you didn't inside? that's why the industry solution is to just check more on the soil. foster suppress relatively cheap, adding a bit as good as a marble guarantee profits. this accumulated phosphorus is come, legacy phosphate. how much phosphorus is lost in the soil? also depends on the cell to civic like and wait 5 minutes and it will bind to iron and aluminum to alkaline. it'll react in calcium. this has consequences. the use of chemical fertilizers increases to run off of nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus, and to bodies water. at least a huge if occasion, which kills of oxygen in the water. it also causes massive alco blooms,
3:48 pm
which can be toxic and producers wondering nothing when they die. and it's not just the police from agriculture, and that's the ramping plus vs everywhere in our food or tap water. so if we consume a lot of phosphorus, then that means essentially what's coming out is the same. this is janice and i call she's a researcher at the swedish university of agricultural sciences and also started a company that turns urine and feces into fertilizer. one out of 10 people are like that in the amount of nutrients that are in urine is enough to grow at 500 grams of weight. so basically it means your urine. you can be grow, you can be producing a loaf of bread every day. she and her colleagues designed a system that essentially boils down or excreta and routines as nutrients. how to the urine diverting toilet the solution is starting to gain traction in the west. but the upside is that it's particularly adoptable for places that don't have
3:49 pm
plumbing since it doesn't need water. unfortunately, household p is just a small fraction of all the nutritious waste on earth. there's also phosphorus and sludge and industrial waste water, not to mention the newer from lives to can dairy farming. what are the most scalable solutions is to figure out how to get all of it out and reuse it right now . so it's treatment plants to get the water cleaner, get it. we're not looking at it as a extracting resource or, and i think he was mine and these are 6. but why not? the industry is still figuring out how to improve existing technology is to make large scale removal economically viable. there's also been advancements and the methods of extracting phosphorus from animal maneuver. there's no shortage of technologies. it's just right now it's still more cost effective to ship box that it is to try to get it from all these other sources. we can also start earlier in the process and how plants absorb more. the phosphorus. recent research has shown
3:50 pm
that certain types of fund guy induct syria could be used in the future to improve crappy old and soil health in find j. did these other estimates group of funds a bit of like very good. uh, fox sort of cabbage that he's been sick and it's been that high cmc kabbage of 1st . what else from any of the plans, you know, to the scientists are still researching how these microbes could be used for large scale farming. however, transitioning to such organic agriculture takes time and could result in your losses or risk. farmers are hesitant to take. the legislation could help me with the market along the recently legalize the sale with us for us recovered from sledges, fertilizer, and is working on laws that will require more. fos for us to be removed from waste water, especially is actually quite easy to recycle the government of the set and says, hey, you have to recycle 15 percent of the cost 1st, but then you're wastewater. then innovations finally have a chance to come to light and start to implement. frankly,
3:51 pm
the cost of it isn't good drive a lot of innovation when it was cheap, don valley that i am optimistic, kept at that. maybe i'm just optimistic in general, but space, but the technician that fits there and we're talking about it and may be able to, the new revolution. feed is bernetta. well, the plot that has come strong contains water quality text. i agreed fiber, which was legal to waste. but what good can come out of this waste bible you get off. however, the community of marginalized women in so i'm in, idaho, is monday. the 6th. we're making beautiful, fashionable items out of this waste fibers, johns plumbing, but on a fiber into boss gets them in here, individuals do. but according to them, in monday, in southern india are taking a material once considered waste. i'm going to get into something they can use part
3:52 pm
of them in school today to say we started working here after her husband was in prison. the job offered her and her children, a lifeline. put us in and out of the to put down that a more than a week after the incident. i was alone. i tuned for a few days days and preventative helps me during that time. if you'd let me know how i loved it. eventually the day by day my kids are getting older lady same and i didn't know, don't bring nobody, can we get in that critical situation and i came to this job and then a lot of got into this in the city. i'm and what is the salary and the women i'm looking at the model, the international, the center for aut amico. they produce over 20 varieties of boss goods on more than 50 other types of handicrafts. the project aims to empower widows and single women, providing them with book, but serves as a source of monthly income for them. the initiative was founded by johns. he has been leading it for almost 6 years and lived in nevada. when i was a kid,
3:53 pm
i used to give me a gift to my friends. i would get everything from trees including raises and create a small homes and those items. i received a positive feedback from my friends, but i believe it was during that time that i realized i'm not going from interest, rudy. with this realization that need to come to them making things out of them. naturally. medina is in race now, but the obviously the in the india is the was largest producer of the non us growing more than $30000000.00 tons of the food every year in summer. not to the 4th largest, but not of green street around 10000000 tons of waste is produced. but not a least for the mika project comes from pharma. phoebe, he cultivates a fees of what on 2000, but not fees. the growth cycle of the plans spends approximately one year within 10 months, the trees bear fruit and often how listing that's got down to make we, for the next crops let me see any of the was
3:54 pm
due to over the summer. but recently we haven't started using it for multiple purposes. in particular we use did as it all material meetings, baskets. this has been very useful for us, little bit of what on the mika boss, goods and other products are mostly exploded abroad to countries like written on the usa. the women make around $8.00 to $10.00 boscus every day. they also put around 2000 piece just for which went to utilize the room and get around $150.00 the fees on $1.00 udall $6540.00. it might not sound like much, but the see the income brings them comfort and there are also other benefits. what not a lot of i'm going to find every women working here faces how to spend and trauma issues from their families. we strive to give them hope for financial independence and the chance to support their children when we come together and work as
3:55 pm
a team board of all up being seems to for you to begin with them now. and the best thing that stated that he had, the women say nothing from nature is based it the believe their work benefits the environment. but more importantly for sylvie, it also brings us closer to her dream, to empower women, just like how to support themselves and their families. i would love to get my hands on a hand bag made out of, but i don't know if i was who would have thought, but it is ideas like these that actually only making additions to the fall most to us. i'm to the planet. but you let me know what did you like the most about today's episode, and what would you like to see more of? i will see you soon until then. take a good bye. and almost gosh, the
