projects and drought stricken parts of the world lawrence lee reports. in this southern corner of the netherlands a grain of end the day looks like the last place you'd expect to see a revolution in food but in these vaastu greenhouses things are happening that could change lives hard for a world away usually it takes huge amounts of water to grow tomatoes but here they reduce it's a virtually nothing and they even grow the fruits in insulation material rather than soil we use only rainwater and recycle forth and you can do this with any vegetable. you can. it can be a solution to to bring free food into other places in the world where there's a problem not. the tiny netherlands is already the world's largest exporter of tomatoes this though has an obligation not for western supermarkets but for the world's hungry what they're onto here is regarded as really exciting because if you

can grow vegetables with no soil and with almost no water then you can grow them anywhere you can grow them in the deserts or where there's been drought and so there's a growing realisation that this technology could be used to fight famine the combination of population growth and climate change are making a terrible situation in parts of the world even worse and desert if occasion of agricultural land is turning many into climate refugees. at this leading university to finding yet more radical solutions like extracting the bacteria from plants which can cope in the deserts and putting them into crops incredibly the scientists believe the deserts of the world are a huge agricultural opportunity they think they're two years away from planting crops in the sand that this cabbage tomato and i thought the potato we are working on this well sort of brought if we come to barley and it's a very close relative of wheat that we have we're talking about major crops of.

this is that we can grow under such harsh conditions also in desert areas. the message here to western politicians is that climate change is an integral part of the refugee crisis and offering solutions has benefits everywhere if we don't solve the problems over there then people will migrate to other places and they will look for food in europe and we know that again and migration is grateful for the moment so in my opinion we need to improve the situation in africa. and. improve the life of people in africa there's often a feeling that trying to help the world's hungry is pointless and the problems will never end but here there is proof that even climate change can be beaten by science for the politicians of the rich countries it is becoming possible to effect incredible change if they really want to lawrence lee al-jazeera in the netherlands
