strongly, especially in developing countries where climate change is also an immune intent. hello and welcome. i'm finally got some body annual watching equal 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 to cope with an eval. wondering what then what i'll find out, even in dallas western states, omaha dasha 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 resistance grew up. flood id has made all the difference. these kickings went as a produce butterflies. spun from the 900 metre long silk thread that too precious.

they provide chief at euro cut off with an income such 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 don't know, there is still some clerical fields, even more of the water. my roster is traditional custom 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 livelihood. as a result, this, the highest suicide rate among farm is in the last 6 months of 2022. desperation led more than a 1000 pharmacist and my roster to take their own lives to the village is really

the hindi wood for cotton is also affected by climate change. in the past, everyone here made a living from cost in including and she about 0 possible on his family. but the plans need and 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 sites and admin due to the soil. just it says that was uh, it was an endless cycle of spending on the crop. all the anything from it sealed as well stuff, but it still got caught up that got caught up in 2018 drought to destroy the harvest for the village of really it was, it is often up the time tally. that's nevada. we had just been elected village chief, he's been hearing about the potential of silk reduction or sorry, culture in india is very culture is financially supported by

a government scheme called them. again, 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 rearrange unit. colleague us decided to take the gamble for you. it's all good . i would say we made a fight as a motor. first goal was to improve financial conditions for villages next to it. so because a high yield crop has got to monitor the value on the market model made it, it's a high demand text off monica. and secondly, which can be ground with very little most of what started out as an agricultural experiment has transformed into a large scale silk finding operation. today, nearly 600 farm is from really of switched to serve you culture. the vehicle are legal. i started out with to silk them exit from not they got $200.00 kilos of so

good exploited 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 bombing was for boy just to a cause it's very cold. you see under a lot of money for people, that's how it started this. sorry, coat 10 model that really soon started to catch on in the light region. a growing number of farm is a now planting mowbray trees, which a catch very short to increase the harvest. that leaves provide food for the so quinn's the mobile trees, a hearty grove for several years. i'm requiring much that school to fund makes them ideal for this drought stricken region. according to kind of coach experts seem hanukkah. she works closely with the pharmacist in myra hosta. instead of got your con keels pesticides. i phone in you, i'm going to be the explanations. so that is an advantage 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 sheets off the civic one side of it. i just hope you would be some friends and all the things i use, but not bit of people's dislikes because of in your di incentives, sensed the villages run the really unit in really together. as soon as the not 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 often. but because of and it's not spinning the precious soak thread around themselves to form a king. just a few days later, the kings are harvested and some of the soap markets with price is getting according to weight. many women and really also employed in the business, laptop away 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 it listening but

there's also a delicate side critics. a many children are employed in so production all the cut it off. and since that's not the case, and really another criticism is that to obtain a single long thread for mccain, the law of a mustn't be allowed to hutch. so the thought to work is heat that contains in water to kill the law of a symbol retrieve also need well to right now the form is that using precious groundwater but kind of doesn't his team of set up several poems to collect rain more to how well, you've telling you if i'm going to is very important 5 most of filling the phone for or just using them as a storage to bomb, the little more thought i'm starting to fall apart and then use it for the patient . it isn't the commented, because you're going to own what are the safe, which is in the or on the ground, and it is safe from the sun. but if you're feeling you're born by giving some catchment time diverting that even what the, what, what rain 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 does that one's quantity on quantity improved? and what we told the trade is that if you're interested in our supply, that's it, then come to our village and get yourself to walk in the community. so today those traders come here to buy our projects and i say on the farm is don't have to travel and you will have to sell it or the hospital all these are basically probable cause i need to do to the pharmacist and really have also received financial support from the local authorities, banks as to reluctant to lend to pharmacists. ready some of the villages have now achieved a negative prosperity under them their own cause or reason, a house. ready or a subsidiary, but just give me

a minute. come here. but the biggest, the chief month is that 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 opposite billing from the what? that's the biggest way, dana? yes. subsidies. some somebody me knew about the the honey my held illuminated beeswax in my live bomb. where we can find the honey, these for all of this. and while the actually bad for the environment, because they come bead with the y v 's, which is actually the species that house dissolve, our biodiversity. if it was lively in agriculture, honey, these can help boost the incomes or fall mazda and the productivity of the field. i'm back to him not to do any nathan thing is busy inspecting is because he's, he's a specialist and environmental by technology. after researching chose will be diseases in germany and is really heated, done to his hometown of luck know in 2015 and the region needs him why the

numbers have been declining here for decades about their part of nation work. families have seen a significant drop in the heats to compensate. ready live in st, provide a pollination sulvas' to farmers by renting out honey bees. so i've got a disability at my job, the day to be called, and he's 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 production these 80 kilograms, then they can increase it to a 100 kilograms by bookkeeping. all the sol k. dick. nathan, think owns of housing. gotten these off the honey. b. a post manufacturers to collect mixed up in 6 livid up to $100.00 in a single ship and can make 20 trips in a single day. in the process, they moved to ireland from plant to plant aging, the pollination of flowers,

vegetables and fruits. the single purpose here is to support the funds. unlike white bees that benefit funds 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 this 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 reasons is 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 under immense stress as national statistics show in the last 25 years. india has lost more than 40 percent

of its b stokes. this bomb was ease of tomatoes, chick bees, and must 3rd have all suffered as a result. regardless of how these fees are located, some 40 kilometers from loc, no, or the get by let this lower heaters dry out. unless it becomes a long if it sits on it, it gets more nutrients. like you had gotten down by 20 or 30 percent more compared to our previous crops. this one is going great. all these flowers are doing well. this blonde is full months old and is still growing tanks of the honey bees. before i would run out of produce to harvest them 2 to 3 months after loading up the fact that best besides foods do honey on why these roms all have a switch to organic farming. because while be keeping may help families via these head of the planet. ringback the phone and dialed ford 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, they are a 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 values of nature. and the more likely to try, even as long as they play, they become a very, very good source of mixed thought and fallen for the thought of nato's play. essentially, julian 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

as a son to mentor through 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 or phosphorus is not unlimited. i'm more than 2 thirds of the was it is all phosphate truck are located in a disputed conflict storage region in africa. in such a diet, see scenario our reporter has explored once the solution, which is available to all of us, what's on our phones, dna and steve 8000000000 people, phosphorus, it's an essential element that sustains all life on earth. it's also in your p more on 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 could on p save us thanks to a german scientist boiling hundreds of gallons of urine. in $1669.00, we found phosphorus, the 15th element, and the periodic table. fantastic. he was trying to find out how to make anyway, what is false? all organisms need fast persist 10, essential nutrients. bob and essential component of life. this is barbara came on. she's a renowned sort of a scientist based instance casual in canada. it's had dna, it's hard as far as salvas concerned, us let beds, it's part of our, our and i 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 are stunted and don't yield us much between increasingly using these chemical fertilizers on farms since the post world war 2 periods. together with crop engineering, it's bread. the green revolution. this massive increases in crop yields, especially in the global south, and places like india and nice and 16 or less than the production was like, yeah, it'll be the medium dens nice. the are lovely next production which step $315.00 in the sedation are about to tarry a as a scientist at the indian institute of social science. and definitely they give this credit for foreclosure application because before it was there was no knowledge about the world. but 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 growth reserves are in the western sahara, heavily disputed territory currently controlled by morocco, which the un size has been unlawfully occupying the area. arrival army has been fighting for its independence. the largest preserves are spread across north africa, followed by china presented south africa and saudi arabia. less than 20 percent of the phosphorus used in agriculture actually ends up in the food we eat. that's partly because phosphate fertilizer is your tori. sweet. inefficient it binds easily with other minerals in the swell, which makes it unavailable for the plans. and they get 950 off costs for this to apply this. it was do get don't. they didn't get some but people to get us to work and body, but maybe 80 percent of that would be best if you didn't inside. that's why the industry solution is to just chuck more on the soil. faster suppress, relatively cheap, adding a bit as good as a marble guarantee profits. this

a cumulative phosphorus is comm legacy phosphate. how much phosphorus as lost in the soil also depends on the cell. 2 civic like in white climates and it will bind to iron and aluminum to alkaline. it will react in calcium. this has consequences. the use of chemical fertilizers increases to run off with nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus, and to bodies water. at least future if occasion, which kills of oxygen in the water. it also causes massive alco bloom's, which can be toxic and producers wondering nothing when they die. and it's not just the police from agriculture, and that's wrapped in pos versus 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 on a call. she's a researcher at the swedish university of agricultural sciences and also started a company that turns urine and seizes into fertilizer. one out of 10 people are like that of 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 retains 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 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 treatment plans to get the water cleaner, get it. we're not looking at it as an extraction. we as our sewer and i think here is 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 than 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 that certain types of fund guy induct curia, could be used in the future to improve crossfield and so how am fun, j did these other estimates group of funds, a data lakes? very good uh, fox for us cabbage that he's been sick and it's been that high cmc kabbage of uh, fox. what else from any of the plans you can all 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 of cost for us recovered from sludge as 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 2nd says, hey, you have to recycle 15 percent of the cost 1st. that then you're wastewater. and then innovations finally have a chance to come to light and start to implement. frankly, the cost of fitness should 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 trigger the p revolution. see this bernetta? well, the plant that has come strong contains water quality text. i agreed bible, which was legal to waste,

but what good can come out of this waste liabilities at all? however, there's a community of marginalized women in so i'm in law goes monday, the 6th. we're making beautiful, fashionable items out of this waste fiber. transforming but non of fiber into boss gets them in here in the village of to put a condom in my day in southern india, i thinking of materials once considered waste. i'm going to get into something they can use both of them in school today to say we started working here after her husband was imprisoned, the job offered her and her children, a lifeline. i didn't to 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 the same and i didn't know what the party can. we can embed 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 windows 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, i used to give me a gift to my friends. i would get everything from craig's including raises and create a small homes and those items. i received positive feedback from my friends, but i believe it was during that time that i realized i'm not going from interest. rudy waste this realize there's some like me to consider making things out of them . naturally. medina isn't race now, but the obviously didn't. the india is the was largest producer of but non us drawing more than cutting 1000000 tons of the food every year in summer. not to the

4th largest, but non agreeing states around 10000000 tons of waste is produced. the but not least for the mika project comes from pharma 50. he cultivates a fees of around 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 of the miss any of the was due to be dismissed. but recently we haven't started using it for multiple purposes . in particular, we use it yet as it all material meetings, baskets. this has been very useful for us, the the mika baskets and other products. i mostly exploded abroad to countries like written on the usc the women make around $8.00 to $10.00 boss gets every day they are sold for around 2000 a piece just for which went to utilize the room and get around 150,

the fees on one udall 6540, 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 a team or all up being seems to fade away and look at them now. and the best thing is 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 what it is, ideas like these that actually only making the decisions to the farmers,

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

in good shape. having children easy as pie for is it when the wish for a baby remains unfulfilled? how can women and men increase their fraternities and when things finally do work out how to expect and mothers get for pregnancy? well, in good shape. next on dw, we now since your last diversity anything unusual. no mountain is too high. no

road is too long in such a faithful, ordinary we. oh this is specialist of lifestyle. you're. you're in 60 minutes on d w. the . sometimes it's hard to find what you're looking for but we've got something for you. it shouldn't be this warm here. it's like summer conditions in the middle of april. hard not to feel that something really is happening here. what is happening is degreed in size. a team of climate research has a store and on task for put in place the

january 12 on d w. how does a woman become pregnant? beyond source simple arise. show the process is straightforward, but not always successful. the woman might be in 1st time and his steady fits what can be done if there's a problem. and when it does work, how does a woman have a healthy pregnancy? so many questions who has the offices? we do in good shape the .
