the holy grail of electron mobility. i'm screen revolution, global. so listen to all loud climate problem fixtures, complement topics, rest of those channels. we've got new videos every friday. tried to plan. it's a, the industrial nations have always had an abundance of food. and the waste with thousands of tons thrown away every day, hardly a sustainable system. climate change buttons harvests worldwide, but especially in countries already suffering acute shortages and with solutions desperately needed. can high tech help out the focus of this addition of made the double use business magazine. the also coming up in the show or city source mushrooms, the future of farming an app that can help to diagnose plant diseases and

increase harvest. plus, could we soon be facing a world without coffee? a room stacked with erie looking objects shrouded in fog. but what looks like some alien clothing facility in the science fiction movie is actually a mushroom farm in berlin. the varieties being grown here are from asia. they range from the famous you're talking to king oysters or the less well known you. i'm a bushy tacky or lions main mushroom. we try and keep the, the distance from harvesting from growing and harvesting to consumer in and around 20 kilometers. so at our farm berlin, our sour pilot farm, we are producing more than 3 tons of mushrooms, fresh mushrooms harvest of every month. we are selling those to gastronomy to

wholesalers, to some larger supermarket chains. delivery time to downtown berlin is under one hour, which means the mushrooms are super fresh on arrival at restaurants there. the quality of these mushrooms is, is very good and is also a constant, which is something very, very difficult to actually find especially um, in jimmy that i found these mushrooms would normally be sourced from thousands of kilometers away, apprise delicacy for gore amazed. but poor performers on the environmental front growing food where it's consumed as a concept with a growing appeal for producers, eager to save on both space and resources. and for many cities, the nearest farm will be some distance away. to have the quality effectively on our doorstep is something which is rare,

especially nowadays the food industry is responsible for around a 3rd of global carbon emissions with production and land use change accounting for 24 percent and transportation for further 6 percent. and then norm is burden on the environment, the you have a lot of extra c o 2 emissions as well as all the materials needed to get them there to store them here and there, the refrigeration, needed, etc. and when you're growing something locally, as we are, you cut out all of those c o 2 emissions. fruits and vegetables have a particularly high carbon footprint. a major factor here is the large number of varieties being transported across long distances. what's more in refrigerated trucks. to us, china, india and russia rank worst in terms of transportation related emissions in the food production industry. the looking at germany, for example,

in 2021. it imported 63 percent of its vegetable supplies and some 80 percent of its fruit. the vast majority comes from southern europe or overseas meaning length . each journeys by sea, or even air, the wild, the wealthiest nations, constitute only a small proportion of the global population. they are responsible for almost half of the world's food miles, and therefore for the related emissions to their lot of restaurants in billing now, which do actually try and fix receive fixing the products on something very, very low regard to having delivery times. and also the distance of delivery is it just helps, once again we're talking about reducing carbon footprint. tried to be as brief as possible, but it's something that we're working towards here. effectively just trying to get as much as we can from gemini and from the local area. the next step for the

mushroom farm and the suburbs of berlin is to recruit artificial intelligence. to save energy and minimize product loss. we're developing some a i tools which use imagery in our grow rooms. we can monitor the monitor them on a 24 hour basis and they help us understand the prime time for picking so that we harvest those mushrooms at the perfect time of ripeness and maturity. it's estimated that almost 80 percent of all the food produced globally is consumed in cities. so growing crops in urban areas make sense. urban agriculture could cover some 10 percent of the world wide demand for vegetables, except that this would require an enormous amount of land. parents, for example, would need one and a half times its size and farm land in order to become self sufficient. imagine a coffee house where you can't even get a lot take, let alone

a double espresso. unthinkable but not beyond the realm of the impossible. thanks to climate change, wreaking havoc here to you might soon be having that rendezvous over a cup of i see the coffee, the world's 2nd most consumed of average. and so ingrained in our lives that it's made it into paintings and oliver pop culture. i'm gonna get some coffee or some golf. there's a lot of stuff before i go to sleep. i can dream fast. i always get a copy when i watch radar. you know that this is excuse me, a damn fine cup of coffee, but you're wanting cabbage. you know, might not be guaranteed. climate change is threatening worldwide. coffee crop production, drought rising temperatures and irregular ring, far ruining coffee, harvest. some studies say the amount of suitable land for coffee production kitchen by half, by 2050. today, people drink over 2000000000 cups of coffee worldwide every day. consumption has almost doubled over the past 3 decades alone. se asia is expected to have nearly

doubled the global growth rate as westernize increase and the rising middle class increased demand. and let's not forget china solver expense, open a coffee shop every 9 hours, so we can reach 9000 locations across the country by 2025. which means we need to be growing a lot more cost. requirement instability is already taking huge total and production in 2021. a severe for us and brazil's coffee region of me necessarily. i swiped out coffee trees in an area of roughly the size of nutritious coffee prices. search nearly 13 percent re generation of across an eco system will take years, meaning losses will continue. such a regular temperatures also make the plants more vulnerable to tests and disease. for the last 15 years, a rust epidemic coffee beef dressed, arrived in, in strong force across the central and south america in central america alone. 1.7000000 people lost work during that period. so there are human consequences to the challenges. part of the difficulty is that coffee is a relatively sending the plant. it goes through

a delicate flowering phase before the cherries come in and takes 4 years for a single coffee tree to get a 1st harvest. or another problem is that what is a $120.00 research pieces of coffee? we only during 2 of them coffee, our abaca and coffee are kind of 4 otherwise known as were booster. a raw because the higher end stuff that has all those settled flavor nights. we love as a plant needs the temperature between roughly $18.00 to $21.00 degrees celsius, around 30 percent shade cover with plenty of consistent rainfall. it's more sensitive to high heat disease and produces fewer beans. over 60 percent of global production is, are applica. it's sibling robust as a more resilient plan, but tastes not as great and ends up in mostly stuff like in some coffee. and that's it. we're almost entirely reliant on just to varietals. coffee also has a small gene pool and at least 60 percent of world coffee species are at risk of extinction. this makes our current supply extremely vulnerable to copy research is so behind relative to what other commodities,

as we can do so much with traditional technologies, just taking pollen from one place, putting it on another, creating a speed of something new, collecting data at a global scale and it's not rocket science, it's very straightforward. what needs to happen? thankfully, there's some good news. so if the new new value is coming up and in that of some type did the 3rd spread by like steve 30. so q turning that's been, that's the failure to because it's how smart it's difficult to find a match. and that you see how did the starbucks recently announce that it had developed 6 new varieties of coffee seats, including hybrids that resist leave for us to and generate higher yields in a shorter period of time. this is big news, considering the chain by is about 3 percent of all the world coffee from 400000 farmers across 30 countries. a few researchers are also trying to fish these. these out of the wild trophy has done to fill out, for example, is making a splash. it's a rare and threatened species from west africa that tolerates much warmer temperatures and actually takes comfortable to arrive. okay. fathers for idle has

commercial potential bringing wild spaces into production can only exist on a new scale and could take decades. the bigger problem is that at least 80 percent of the world's coffee is produced by small, so they're farmers. these farmers generally work on a few hector's of land and don't have the resources to buy hybrid ceilings, which are roughly 40 to a 160 percent more expensive than the traditional variety or output also means more labor and carbon intensive costs like fertilizers, hybrids use 90 percent more labor and increase the cost of other inputs by almost 50 percent. it's an investment firms may not have the means to take on. that's what you so the thing for them to profit. they've rustic fights, 5 minute system and not only having puppies, but also threes or other kinds of groups, you know, that will help a safety net, which brings us to abra forestry. this is an approach that grows coffee alongside other plants like trees which can increase nutrients, cycling bio diversity carbons storage and provided micro climate. some can also bring extra income from fruits, timber or firewood. but it's

a tricky balance. planting other trees for shade lower the air temperature and freezes swell moisture which can protect it from weather changes and fluctuating harvests. but human shape can hinder yield. we should work together with the 5 minutes in order to understand what the, what, what works well for 5 minutes squared up the senior, decent without the contradictions. so why not just have everyone adopt over forestry? well, any change entails risk, which is hard for farmers to justify with just one harvest per year. it also takes extra labor and sometimes extra land to support the harvest of more than one crop. lastly, it's about farmers access to resources. they don't always have access to the thing for the nation that is being used play by site. we need to combine deviation on ecological no, no to i believe that you've ever known that together with the scientific knowledge, without the support, there's a big does incentive for coffee. farmers who often prefer to stick with what they know given how hard it is to adopt in our current conditions,

the future of coffee could look a little more different than we think. as in your coffee to come from some unexpected places. experts say that countries like china and australia have ramped up coffee being production in recent years and could become bigger players in the future. but for now, our coffee addictions aren't going anywhere anytime soon. and the industry strategy to keep up it's pipeline is technology technology technology. we are really focused on the technology, you know, needs, i would say in the next 5 to 10 years, we'll see a flush of new varieties. it's a paintbrush and a, you know, spreadsheet it's very intense of data analysis, but that just takes the cross disciplinary work of scientists, governments and everyone in the supply chain. but as consumers, the best we can do is pay attention to sourcing the coffee supply chain, often locks transparency as a spot for business. so what we can do is work with smaller suppliers who give more information on the origins and production conditions of their coffee beans.

a supermarket scene from the future. no coffee, no much rooms. no, nothing farmers world wide are seeing increasingly, meeker harvest a trend that's on stop a bowl or reversible as so often our fate lies in our own hands. does climate change pose a threat to our food supply? know coffee for breakfast? no cocoa for the kids and no bananas for any one of a condo. so main goes coconuts and pope pius all gone to pessimistic. not necessarily the because it could soon become reality. climate change is leading to more crop failures. dictating what we can buy in stores and how much it costs. a lot of products are only grown in specific regions due to the right climate conditions. and these areas,

too are increasingly subject to drought, hurricanes and floods leaving farm land any usable and harvest. devastated. mano cultures where the same crops have grown year in year out are particularly vulnerable to whether extremes, disease, and insect pests and climate changes. commercial impact is already being felt a bacterial disease, so orange juice becomes scarce and expensive. springs olive oil harvest has been slashed by half in recent years with a similar fate, potentially a waiting global coffee production like 2050. while the world currently has enough food shortages and to market uncertainty are pushing up prices everywhere. one answer could be growing new varieties of crops that are more we so used to heat storms and flooding. the same applies to crops produced in organic farming systems

. and then there's a remedy that is actually thanks to climate change with whole new areas being turned into arable land. don't be surprised to see your mailing is coming from germany. brake lines switch from iceland or orbit condos, imported from easily the order and food via an app as easy as pie. and now you can even coordinate cross harvest remotely via smartphone. a german company has created an app for identifying and treating crops disease as a tool that is especially vital in those parts of the world where farmers struggle to secure a decent deals. in india, for example, the technology has the potential to give harvest a much needed boost if applied in the field looks unhealthy, these farms pull out the phones, take

a picture and find out right away where that the plant is diseased. the app, i don't know, it's just the photo and it's needed, provides help with the treatment plan, fix it, look like it's just like a crop doctor. i it plays the same role in my life as my personal doctor does, for all you like the enterprise crop diseases suggests treatment and prescribed medicine and treatment options. when the medicine billy sleep on taking a smart phone into the field alongside to her and shovel has become part of everyday life. the indian farm is the potential of digital tools in agriculture. and india is huge. almost half of the population works in the agricultural sector. it's very difficult for people to correctly identify disease within a kid. i can do this within seconds, directly in the field, but how exactly does it work? the quote that you will not be including the using the app is very easy then the

1st open gland takes on your android phone. next, you have to take a picture. we are thinking picked it up, particularly after snap really photo. it needs to be uploaded to the app 1st identifies the crap football load i fairly complex and all that this data is then processed in germany by planting, which is part of the home pharmaceutical company. the phone just started out is students that the university of honda is a experimenting with tomatoes. this would then be central a service analyzed by the bureau network as we, as it does is called. so it's basically a model that seeks a unique fingerprint of certain disease or pest and would then return the results circle drawn. doctors help the image data base to categorize pictures that it doesn't know. this is how the a lunch so that it can lights and make recommendations. symptoms by entering news,

just the symptoms to diagnose the disease. there's a yellowing of the leaves starting at the margins. the i'm says that there is no disease, but the potassium deficiency around a 1000000 farm is already use. the plant takes up almost exclusively in india. the apps image database contains 35000000 pictures of different client diseases ensuring an accurate diagnosis. you know, 700 different crop problems on 30 different crops, potentially not because it's just too much to, to know. and it's also some kind of diagnostic that's tough for human to do. if a disease is detected, the app recommends the relevant tests assigned to uses and shows where it can be purchase. but local retailers don't always have all the products in store which can lead to farm is buying the wrong items or even fakes. there's tons of consequences . we estimate that roughly half of all the product sold in india,

and probably also in other countries in the world are not suited for treat to profit. we've tried to make 1st of all the prescription, correct, and secondly, have farmers to buy products that are from where the kids organizations where we know that the, the, these are really good. how to the products farmers report back to harvest since using context sandeep sion, there was a fast, reluctant to trust a livelihood just to the bottle as i can if i didn't trust the app in the earlier months. but later, when i start taking pictures of the diseased prompts for the smart features of suggesting the right treatment, made me feel more confident. welcome. let's go for the look for the one of them. what today is mid? this is going to say. vantage is by far more accurate, will it be always right? no. there is no absolute 100 percent correct, advising all the cases every time at $45.00 for none of the systems in the world.

and how do you en, money with such an app? there are $2.00 different versions, one for farm is and one for retailers who can buy specializes that helps if the app for farmers generate data on what and when demand for product increases. a small scale. farmers in india have enough internet bandwidth fired smartphones even in lower areas, which is the only way they can use apps like contracts. it's an opportunity to prevent corrupt failures and ensure a stable income for jo, be much less than anything. if we use the latest agra technologies and apps like planting, we will get better, healthier crops, this is gay, would you will, the farming business can generate good income if the data is used properly. and soil health is maintain that stuff if there was lots of data. hey, i would replace palm is know how and experience any time soon. instead,

artificial intelligence is a supplement that makes working in the fields just a little bit easier. the sometimes it seems we do every thing in our power to harm nature and the climate. although some people are now taking action to at least limit the effects of climate change. in addition to farm land longer drought periods are also affecting forest, leaving them in greater exposure to fires and ravenous insects. specialists and berlin are deploying customized drones to aid reforestation of fire scarred by devastating wild fires. now drone is being deployed as part of a plan to fill the gap over an area the size of several football fields. it scattering special seed pellets from which saplings was round to replenish the tree

population. germany is covered in pine forests. the tree is an important construction material, but is extremely vulnerable to forest fires in pest, which is white drones belonging to a berlin company had been brought into re plans to forested areas. bus one of the lots of areas where nothing would happen without the drones eating. gonzales. a skilled labor shortage on other factors and making it possible to keep a pace. i'm on the top of them on everything. missed into outcomes. to jerome features, a large container with a hatch that opens up mid air to release the seat pellets gets filled with a mixture of 3 seeds, custom composed for the forest floor. 12 kilos of seeds are enough for a round one. hector. it takes just 20 minutes for the drone to disperse its load. the seeds have no smell or taste which prevents nails

and mice from eating them at around $4000.00 bureaus per hector re firestick with drones costs roughly half as much as planting trees by hand. * the tree seeds grow right on the forest floor. the only around 10 percent of them actually terminate. the planting trees by hand is the most common reforestation method. but it's labor intensive and time consuming. most of the seedlings come from tree nurseries and out in nature usually proved to be less resilient than those groups here from seen. forests are an important factor from many economies. word is used as a building material, as well as in the production of paper and packaging. in germany, more than a 1000000 people are employed in the forestry and temper sectors. in 2022,

the german wood products industry posted a turnover of around 45000000000 euros. but it could take decades until the forest, seated from the sky, produces dividends and defense to long with reforestation efforts lagging far behind. i'm done, this is not to do so with us if i so what happens is that the owner doesn't have any money coming in from the forest for the 1st 10 or 20 on the years. so you got because the trees are still very young and i hope that young's and they have to wait until the 3040 or 50 years old for they can harvest industrial, tim the from that i can see. all right, so what are the options given the slow pace of growth home and told us once it goes even beyond us, but we have a cycle of around 7 years young and which i, yeah, we are, it's commercially harvested once the alton what we no longer do is clear coaching, clear we can tie areas and really as far as being done with all to cause. a drone with a camera on board is sent to fly over the terrain and gather soil data. the resulting

information is processed. beckett, sky seats, office in berlin, and then a computer is used to work out the most effective routes for this seating drone. in effect making, you'd send me your autonomy as a software program, stores the soil data for the respective client enabling sky seat to monitor forest groups. we would continuously go to this pipe mainly during the summer to see the development there. and we always need that information to call back on like what exactly we see that they're in what quantities in the drone workshop 15 tinker away on new drone devices for dropping the seeds a few months after they've been so the 1st the trees start to grow with any luck, 30 years from now, they'll be tall and sturdy specimens like these from

urban mushrooms to the very future of copy. both a i'm and drones helping farmers on made. we're always looking out for innovative and enterprise and ideas. so your next week, the,
