fifteen million registered voters in the leaders here with two hundred twenty two seats in the parliament up for grabs the reason is government has suffered its thirteenth defeat in recent weeks over its bracks it plans in the house of lords members of britain's of us a parliament voted against the prime minister's plans to leave europe's single market after the u.k. breaks away from the e.u. they also backed an amendment to remove the fixed date to leave the european union march the twenty ninth of next year from the legislation those are your headlines the news continues here on al-jazeera after earthrise i will see you in about thirty minutes. it's. with bureaus spawning six continents across the globe. to. al-jazeera has correspondents living green the

stories they tell. me are fluent in world news. there are seven and a half billion people on earth and they all need to be bad. for producing food requires huge amounts of land water and is one of the major contributors to pollution and climate change. half the planet habitable surface is cultivated for crops the forests are being cleared for industrial animal farming and commercial fishing is emptying our thieves of marine life. with the worldwide population

predicted to grow to ten billion by twenty fifty it's clear our planet contiki part of the pace something has to change. our muscle build on the east coast of the u.s. where a community of scientists fishermen and movies are redefining our relationship with the scene and i'm going to robby and haul it to our scientists are wasting to future proof our planet against our love of meat. for centuries. we've been harvesting the oceans without much thought of sustainability and today we whites as much fish as we did fifty years ago the result is that the oceans have been depleted to catastrophic lead unsustainable levels ninety percent of the fish stocks that we rely on being fully fished overfished. to make matters worse the use of

a group chemical stews in the sea and on the land is creating dead soon areas of high acidity and low or exigent which one of the biggest global threats to marine life there are already around five hundred of them were weighed the biggest in the gulf of mexico covering twenty three thousand square kilometers. for the seas to thrive far into the future we need to fundamentally rethink our relationship with the oceans and here on the coast of connecticut doing just that. fishing has always been big business on the long island sound in recent decades industrial and agricultural pollutants killed of fish stocks have come here to meet some of the locals tackling the problem. they are also right yeah great to egypt thanks so much for having us thanks for coming bryn smith is an ocean farmer who's made it his mission to reconfigure how we harvest the sea ok welcome aboard.

ray the good thing about ocean farming is we don't need to chase fish rice the quick run out right. used to be efficient yeah yeah i was in the bering sea fishing cod just at the height of industrialized fishing and most the first i was catching was going to mcdonald's for the first salmon that is the quintessential the epitome of the industrial fashion exactly so then you know i was on the bering sea in the cod stocks rasta knew from land back was from so i went to become a farmer on the salmon farms as i was was that he answered overfishing but it was just as bad you know using pet. besides antibiotics polluting you know we were essentially running pig farms at sea so i ended up down here to mit remade myself as you know what were called the three d. ocean floor what is that what is a three d. ocean farm mean by that imagine an underwater garden where you're using the entire water column means we have very small footprint vertical right. the entire farm

is cultivated officers to move lines and boys which act like scaffolding grooves from the horizontal lines closest to the surface then vertically downwards their muscles and then below that clamps on the ocean floor. and that. brain has a twenty acre farm which produces fifty three thousand kilos of killed every year alone with two hundred shellfish today i'm going to help check the lines. in the great work of james hill's going to come aboard and. learn how to do some help farming apply. all right if you help. there's the vegetable of the sea right there let's attack some us you saw that you . and i go out of town and.

unlike conventional aquaculture britain's ocean farming has no need for group chemicals in fact to be even seems to clean the water of pollution and sequesters carbon thereby helping to tackle climate change. is there a reason why you you've chosen muscles so there really lean proteins packed full of them to make it serious but also so nitrogen a filter and they use nitrogen to grow filtering out of the water column sandusky know this fargo filters to millions of gallons of water we can waste your filters up to fifty gallons a day we just want to easter you if you were to take a number of these farms totaling five percent of u.s. waters you could remove the equivalent carbon output of over a million cars what the kill does is it reduces the acidification rate it pulls

so much carbon nitrogen out that it changes the water called the so we've done studies and it's called the halo effect of the kelp actually working together with the oyster companion companion species exactly exactly you know they're meant to be together. to put the matter. couldn't so certainly intriguing become the system really kill coop did soon once those seeds. of the seaweed marine biotechnology love at the university of connecticut stem food instead of just the squished if. this is proper science what's going on in here so we have a lot of the caliph my cousin on to me really right here to. talk to simona it's leading the research in some call still estuaries like long island sound we have a lot of nutrient runoff so from fertilizer or from wastewater treatment plants

a lot of those nutrients get concentrated into the water and then they can cause problems like harmful algal blooms or you know hypoxic conditions and so by growing seaweed us in addition to shellfish we can take some of those nutrients and clean up the waters and the hypoxic that's like. so right yes exactly which is not good for for for for exactly. simone is going to show me how they use killed to both monitor and clean the waters in the sand and the first thing we're going to do is they're going to take some of those harvested cows that we pulled off the long lines and we're going to grind it up in the in this little machine. once cobra is simona can calculate that little nitrogen in the kilt which in turn helps it learn how much needs to be grown to clean the waters of pollutants. based on

that then we can say you know based on that percentage if we grow this much seaweed on this long of a line then we're taking up that much nitrogen from the water. information like this is vital for brenda who uses it to determine how much kopi has to cultivate in order to improve the water in his patch of the sun. three d. farming proposes a close collaboration between fishermen and scientists but that's not all yet another important partnership is happening on dry land to be fisher is a farmer who recently started working with brant used to use conventional fertilizer until six months ago when he switched to kill. the. fertilizer have a nice a nice smell to it but how do you know it's not so you know it's the good stuff so i was actually going on here they quite

a why would you not just put it straight on the fields the nutrients from the kelp . will transfer over to the water and you see the kelp just turns into a spree like i do you know and so all the nutrients leeches out into the liquid and then we can use the we're going to fertilize not going to get like some crab. you never know. tobie's farm grows over twenty five different kinds of fruit and vege supplying the local community and it's this organic plant based fertilizer that you know uses on all these crops. this is calculated to say look we're going to ruin kale very local you're never to scale attacks are going to. do you feel a kind of connection to the sea because of this operation and most land based farmers don't think about their actions and how they affect the sea the nature of

runoff from the land they got into the ocean the kalpa uses it to grow and then it comes back here to really close a sea seed away and loop. closing this land to see loop is a huge part of three d. farming's appeal but in the center of new haven there is another collaboration which is putting sustainability on the menu. i'm off to meet the shapiro head chef at royal to find out more. brand came to me with the help and it's like here it is you that once you started telling me the story once we started dialogue benefit more than anything sustainability perspective i started playing around i started using a number idea of different ways that i could feel like man this has lacked and so i just go ahead and yeah go ahead and and as you would regular pasta smells fantastic right you go.

there's very good we're going to actually see this kind of ocean farming have a significant impact on ocean cleanup on climate change you need we need our we need to eat most of the stuff we need to get you know what i mean you've got to sometimes a customer if i suppose across from a doorway that people start asking for and then let brand figure out. producer but from my from my department my goal is if they like it. i've done my bit. but changes of food here in new haven and three d. farming is a hard. i mean we've got to tell a story and i'm hopeful story about the future right you know it's all bad news about climate change and food sick and security stuff like that but i think out here we can say arrow things are a blank slate in this search chance to really build something new and build some from the bottom up that is sustainable restorative and doesn't make all the mistakes of industrial agriculture and thus industrial agriculture.

it's estimated that each week we lose an area the size of manhattan as a result of intensive over farming. nearly one third of the planet's land is severely degraded and agriculture is largely to blame. if we don't act fast the un projects the world has only sixty years of harvest. but there are glimmers of hope. seemingly barren landscape skin hide an underground forest of living tree stumps roots and seeds in africa a technique called farmer managed natural regeneration it's nurturing this hidden vegetation to bring fertility back to damaged land developed an asiatic and is now used by farmers across the continent it uses restore it of methods such as selective pruning and thinning of shrubs to stimulate rapid growth leading to taller stronger trees and healthier soils. over farms lands

once prone to soil erosion deserts vacation and drought a coming back to life. so far around seventy million hectares of land have been revived improving the food security and livelihoods of communities across africa. the african union has to play to the to further one hundred million hectares of degraded land must be restored by twenty thirty. a seminar is one of the techniques being used to achieve this. over the past century meat consumption has risen dramatically a growing and more affluent population wants more and more of it and industrialized farming has made it a staple. by twenty fifty global appetites are set to more than double which is environmentally unsustainable of scientists have come up with

a breakthrough solution to the problem which means in the future the meat we see here won't come from the farm but from a laboratory. and. its place is hopping through really busy in there and it's not even news people are serious about their mate. and i ask you where you're buying. when it comes to fell for this thing my husband friday to know that this trade actually party going to. every friday or is friday a rifle shot covering the whole five am to the. how much street would you say you guys go through in a week. then the real challenge. for us to take. your phone. call now is our ten year serving up every week. on average britons get through eighty four kilos a week per person per year and it isn't just an eat at home treat at corrigan's in

mayfair they cater to a mainly meat eating clientele. how important would you say meat is to the menu. and it doesn't matter how much the french keep changing there's always going to be some video. something that you could you imagine and rare day where you're placing in me that was grown in a laboratory on that master barbecue. i find it hard to believe our unique selling point would be gone on their feet like this getting it from the farm here to the customer is what we're all about. for me what is appealing about the lab grown option is that no animals are killed and it takes up less environmental space and there's less of an impact on the waterways of the land and i feel like that could cut his navy off for sort of an alternative to this demand that isn't diminishing

what do you think about that like you it is from trying. or trying to sell it to consumer i think. it's really hard to. i can understand even skepticism but lab grown meat is already a reality and it's only a matter of time different reaches the public in two thousand and thirteen dr mark pasta and his team at the university of maastricht in holland made headline news when they proved it was possible to meet with a single cow muscle sample. if you like conventional amber and now the race is on with scientists competing to be the first to create a lab grown burger to market to the masses. i've come to the university of mastic in holland where dr pasta has agreed to talk me through how they make cultured meat . morning hillary i remark the weeds here mark in his colleagues are one of a number of teams around the world who are searching for

a way to scale up production of lab grown meat if they succeed the environmental impact could be enormous ruminants they have these forty multi. things where they are basically big here in their stomach from it and in that from intuition process methane gets released and that's affecting global warming and climate change is actually very powerful because to us it's twenty times more powerful than c o two. so yeah and livestock is accountable for forty percent of all methane emissions. the impact of farming cattle on climate change is so significant that some experts believe giving up beef reduces our carbon footprint more than giving up cars. but how do you get a hamburger from a test tube. so this is a small. piece of muscle taken from with a biopsy with

a needle biopsy this is taken. half an hour ago from what's the next step then once you do the exception. that the stem cells in a muscle are just sitting there waiting to repair the tissue when it's injury to do muscle fibers is more. then celsus himself come in the midst of them pull it through forming new muscle tissue that's what they do in the body so what we're doing right now is. every single muscle fiber so that the stem cells kind of think well there's an injury here we need to start coming out and start to prove that helps them multiply everything into thinking they need to repair a part of the body right so out of the small extraction that we've taken how many patties do you think we can grow. eighty thousand eighty thousand burger patties

just from this bit of liquid right that's unbelievable the tissue is then placed into a blender before an enzyme is added to break it down even further into individual muscle fibers so by maximizing how much you break down the tissue and encourage the cells to multiply you're getting more product out of that bit of liquid. once broken down further and fed a special culturing solution the cells are placed in an incubator so the conditions in here the kid in the conditions inside the cow right temperature temperature. to everything. in the warmth they will begin to multiply and once there are enough cells they're taken out and grouped together where they automatically contract to form tissue. in the moment i've been waiting for actually seeing a tangible. a tiny one and tiny said yes. so this is

this is the end result where you have the individual fibers so this is about four hundred of those fibers entire hamburgers about ten times i mean that wherever statements made that's absolutely man and grown purely in a lab this is. this is pure meat though mark and his colleagues have proved that the science works the challenge for his team and others all around the world is producing cultured meat in a cost effective way. i'm hoping peter vers trademarks business partner can offer some thoughts on who. i'd be the first to get this product to supermarket shelves. by an american girl or a broken piece if you know me thanks for the initial breakthrough has really happened in the lab here but the idea is really taken off in the us and silicon valley where all the tech startups are and there seems to be a space race to get this product on the shelves what's going on over there and how does that compete with what's happening here well to be honest we don't exactly

know what's going on there we know that a lot of money invested monies go into words several companies and they all sort of have the same tentative timing with respect to them going to the market as we have being that in a couple of years the first initial small introduction in the market over a product will have. it was going to be the first we want to see. there's no question the future of meat will be different for all of us but if i'm honest i'm not sure what i think about eating meat grown in a lab and i suspect that i'm not alone. by them gary i placed a wreath there work of course van man's ford announced a dam based artist is determined to get us to confront our discomfort starting with the future forward cookbook. not everything yet is a month yet it's forty five recipes you cannot get so all these dishes they are

specifically made to start a conversation i hope it will familiarize more people with this new technology so that it's less scary and it will facilitate a conversation around it so that we can make better choices on which what we actually want but i see a classic of of in there as an iranian the quantum. needs in vitro kabob it has its own bio incubator so basically this will be growing infinitely it's interesting when i when i think of the barber and my culture i mean the slaughter of the animal and the preparation of the for the whole ritual is such a big part of different cultures and i think it might be really hard to sort of separate that spirit absolutely yes and we can only do it if we're going to place it with new kinds of rituals or behaviorists that's have new meaning as well course expects that within the next ten years we will all be confronted by lab grown meat

on our plates in readiness of that he's taking reservations at an unusual restaurant. is this an actual restaurant that you go there or is it an online waterhead how does it work it's called in vitro. right now it's only an online restaurant and we serve food for because thought. if you want to take reservations from two thousand and twenty eight what you do is pick a star for main course and dessert this one is for more korean people. because in korea the us is headed for eating life octopus and this is something similar but other than completely synthetic and did. what it does doesn't have a celebrity justice and it doesn't feel pain and there goes not who you are know yet from if we have room it will two thousand and twenty nine many of them

something for my birthday. ok i think you're going to use you need to know who doesn't work the night. across the world's large scale food production increases demands on natural resources and leads to habitat loss but there are ways to reduce these effects. in costa rica tree planting to create living fences reversing the deforestation once caused by cattle ranching absorbing c o two and fixing the soil around the ranch. was to cut out the mixing of a naturally occurring fungus with the local soil has enabled plants to absorb water more efficiently with the pressure on staff water supply. and in cameroon instead of large monoculture cocoa plantations the planting and mixture fruit trees leaving natural forests untapped increasing diversity and providing regular income
