sustainable food production is one of the greatest challenges for the future. with global demand for food set to increase by nearly 70 percent by 2050. agriculture is one of the most polluting and ecologically damaging industries so. if we want to keep food on the table without continuing to ravage our natural environments. we need to completely rethink how often industries work. and russell beard in finland where one restaurant is championing

a hyper local circular economy to create a revolutionary approach to dining i must. scientists all come back to jellyfish blooms by taking them out of the sea and on top. in developed countries like finland it's hard to imagine that we're in the thick of a global food crisis. these helsinki shelves are stacked to the hilt with a wide variety of tasty treats by a hair salon me. the worst a true cost of all is choice to our increasingly beleaguered planet reindeer spring . a global food system. it's incredibly wasteful to use huge amounts of energy water and land to grow food and fly thousands of miles around the world only for much of it to remain and money to this incredibly inefficient and imbalanced operation. of a post i don't know if my pronunciation is quite right but what i. call vocal style

ok so you can have an intake around to see if you can get some statistics about the amount of food that is wasted so if you imagine this pool of bread is total food produced in the world the last 10 percent during cultivation 7 percent this last after the harvest 12 percent which is lost during processing or point of sale and i know their level percent is lost after it's been purchased by means in total over a 3rd of the food the jews worldwide is wasted just thrown away and i guess that's something shocking to me. a growing movement of pioneers are taking steps to fix this global problem. this is ultimately a 5 star restaurant aims to be the model of sustainability all the ingredients are local and all the process is are designed to do as little damage to the planet as possible eliminating all the polluting effects of industrial agriculture is the

brainchild of chef henry allen for the uninitiated can you explain a little bit about what ultimate is and why what you've set up it's all started when me and my colleagues. were taking the bins out and we were thinking like how can i mean we make this much waste how could we do the things better for the environment for the customer that is our biggest ambition one way to do that is by going hyper local in other words. right here in the restaurant i've seen a farm before but never in a restaurant have to say this is great the main thing about. system it's hydroponic circulates from up here the plant makes always the water all it from the roots ok it's 95 percent less water than conventional farming and the best thing for me in

this idea is that we can cut the fresh herbs just before the service of every day there is minimal waste. it's very sweet and from the seed to fully grown in this system one week totally organic no person decides no fertilizer nothing. is based on the principles of circular economics where waste is seen as a resource this approach minimizes the need for transport water and energy and even forms lifestyle on slate edible carbon neutral crickets. yes you know the idea light in baltimore serve up over 1000 crickets each week in their 5 star dishes with cricket larvae growing into fully grown adults within 2 months. this is the bigger home hello yes. so can you give us a sense of how the little critter has. this notion of

a circular economy we can use all the stems of the salads or the peels of the cucumber if we feed them one week with basal leaves they will taste more basal and that's where we don't have to throw away thing away. almost any. mission is fundamentally about changing our attitude to the food we eat and preparing us for a future where meats like beef may not be so readily available. 100 gram of crickets. 22 grams of sure a protein. say 99 percent less water and rolling beef. so their carbon footprint is it's like nothing henry's also trialing a protein rich. the idea is a so innovative being seen as the future of food production on this world and

beyond this is cost of this is also the $1.00 thing that. is interesting about this space agency yeah well you know this it's a potato space and protect. us called air upon it so it's the growth in the air oh yeah now that is something you don't see every day is it is wet yes. they still can't moist yes but this way you don't really need any soil the benefits about this is. 10 times more potatoes than a traditional way so this is this is for real for you guys this is not just a kind of a marketing stunt we don't have to be millionaires we just need to you know grow things forward make people think. we're talking about. certification climate change. stuff. and.

later on henry's invitation ready. the 1st to travel just want to down the road to see if these principles of circular economics can work on a much larger industrial scale. away but. this. is exactly. breaks. here. actor turned farmer robert jordan also has a vertical farm but this one is on another level. who leaves a jacket it's a different season in say disney. herb safari we go means again some coriander i need to speak to you to have kind of a glass that's just what it is so this is entirely electric yes there's no no sunlight used to hold the wire meant

a more efficient growth. of all your yield is a much waste from an operation like this we grow we know you know biodegradable so we have no plastics inside the growth area anymore everything is biodegradable. goal is to prove that these hyper sustainable take needs could one day be in every city and town in the world transporting. these to leave these peat and just around the world it's not that clever it should always be produced locally and consumed locally i love that rather than taking the food to the plate it taking the farm to get it to the core of the book closed today if you want to get there. you can see that they're constantly working on improving the efficiency of the whole operation even this isn't truly waste because it's going to get composting been used on the farms that say they're reconceptualizing the concept of waste. my way

back to ultimately henry's asked me to pick up some supplies for tonight's dinner service and the 1st 150 come to the right place this time. are you doing what you do you know you were growing mushrooms we're growing oyster mushrooms on coffee west finish people are crazy about mushrooms and they drink a lot of coffee. giant back then that is an absolute perfect specimen these are ready to harvest there will be harvested today actually we don't want to hold you up we love to get the. team clicks use coffee grounds from businesses right. the ground. need to explode into light. that is amazing and you can just grab the whole cluster and then twist it until it comes off there you go. that's eating it up.

we have consumer product our we call it the health sandy grow kit and basically you see it's the same as we have in our farm but this is so that people can grow it at home if you're a normal coffee drinker you can you can make do with your own coffee grounds i can imagine being quite magical to watch these incredible kind of peaches emerge and yet here in finland there is now quite active community of home growers encouraging consumers to grow food at home the kind of strategy that will reduce our dependence on industrial agriculture. team of 3000 of the kids and even run workshops to teach people how to grow fantastic funky. alright so we've done. mushrooms back their restaurant going to cook a lot. so what's the hand ready to go i already.

told i'm going to take the crickets. oh my god what are your. dreams and hopes which are good over there because the crickets are going up there and the mushrooms which i always thought so it's very local it's about as low as i can get you know. you know fish at one of these the rice yeah. right in case of prickly little legs yeah i tell you what. i think it's. a really nice protein critic yeah yeah it really is thank you thank you so much is this a share that you can use these ideas can go mainstream just what they want whether it's you know the circular economy or the hyper local production or just the general transparency of the operation could start to see a group good pieces and that is feed in the world and reduce. i am not in fact

absolutely. the world's growing demand for food is pushing ever increasing pressure on natural resources. food waste campaign as believe our environment may be close to breaking point food is the single biggest impact that humans have on nature we all deforesting the earth to grow more food is by far the biggest user freshwater the single biggest source of carbon dioxide emissions and the biggest reason why we're in the middle of the mass species extinction event the 6th the planet earth has faced at least a 3rd of the world's food is currently being wasted we're talking about ugly fruit and vegetables on farms being waste because they don't comply with cosmetic standards we're talking about huge heaving shopping oils the food which is just going to end up in the supermarket bins and the reason why. is because the

supermarkets know that's what triggers our response of taking and filling up basket even though week after week on average people wasting 20 percent of the groceries that they're buying in those stores it's a system with entrenched waste within it we do have the power as individuals to waste less shift away from most ecologically destructive practices should give us hope that we can flick this enormous problem into one of the most delicious tools to tackle compartmental milk. with over 7500 kilometers of coastline italy has relied on the bounty of the sea for thousands of years. but hidden beneath this is. an environmental catastrophe maybe under way. i'm a student for a new and i finish shaphan food writer for naming. 30 years. italian cuisine is one

of my passions so when i heard if these fishing waters were under threat i just had to investigate and here in southern mississippi where italians are facing a rather stinging problem. jellyfish numbers are by 400 percent in the last 13 years alone with the tentacle terrace swamping the coastline and damaging the delicate marine ecosystem. but sometimes one problem can solve another. i've come to lead change to find out how jellyfish could help alleviate the impending food crisis becoming an ingredient in the italian kitchen. first though i've met up with marine pilot just took to stefano priorly who is researching the rise in jellyfish numbers there is scientific evidence that there are some increases as particularly in cost solaria subject to anthropogenic impacts

human impacts on the cause may produce an announcement of the frequency and their windows from charlie fish. dr stefanos research suggests jellyfish numbers are booming due to a variety of manmade fact. artificial waterways but the suez canal which connects the red sea to the mediterranean are transporting new jellyfish species. changes neighboring these newcomers to survive with some the sea temperatures in the mad rising by 1.15 degrees c. in the last 3 decades. how bad is the problems there ecological impact of jellyfish is equivalent to lions in this are now they are top predators so they can have an impact on the functioning of the marine ecosystem some cases so we have large elif ish wish to reach dance it is life up to 300 or 400 tons

a square tube. meters along the coastline so this would affect particularly human activities life. swimming on the along the course or fishery and even aquaculture plants may be affected because in some cases the venomous china fish can kill hundreds or thousands of fish in a few days these booms are using local fishing industries is estimated that in the north rarity they cost italian fishing fleet $8500000000.00 euros a year steffen and sent me north to the aquarium of genoa to discover how the creek to its unique reproductive process is really compounding the problem babies found when live near the village maybe a fish. curator soviet lover on know is breeding thousands of jellyfish. this little she doesn't know about these potent causing creatures. why are the jellyfish so efficient have reproducing they are doing that relieve a huge

a quantity of sperm and egg they fertilize in this that we have plenty of love that all this can go on the bottom of this thing he said on the bottom and became a 4 leaf each fall if they're relieved after division have a very big number of jellyfish live in the real world that their fans saying they feel. jellyfish a so prolific appraising to single adult can lead up 245000 eggs a day these ancient invertebrates existed since before the dinosaurs and they inhabit every ocean and. jellyfish swarms that decimated arre salmon fisheries and hit the tourist industry of a strain but one beach saw 13000 bathers get stung in a single week. but back in net i've heard that a research project is close to a breakthrough it's called go jelly. this is our love.

the internet and her colleagues aim to show food saying to her. that jellyfish are a safe plentiful food source. but serving poisonous jellyfish makes me a little nervous are they all safe to eat it's not you know we're with the starving it just feels this because it just is this a different docs a compound so each jellyfish you will measure yes we measure the way after the frog in a liquid the need to know our journey in order to x. that are different then there is some jellyfish that could be left out for your man and jellyfish that are released say to antonella's research shows that most mediterranean jellyfish are perfectly safe to eat with just a small number needing toxins removed through freezing or simply by washing it's giving me hope that this could be a genuine food for the future but if it has the challenges that you face in the

year of jellyfish just consider it nice and. this could be change and if for our worst starve them us today that they are very powerful or a source of food could be important for local fisherman local restaurants or for local economy and. if jelly fish meat goes mainstream here it could help rebalance marine ecosystems and read it in motions of this gelatinous menace. and with 80 percent protein and just 5 percent it could also become a highly prized alternative to me. farming knife stock is responsible for 2 food 10.5 percent of greenhouse gas emissions.

easing jellyfish as a substitute. could help reduce the very global warming that causes our blooms. already popular in much of the far east. but right now they can't legally be sold as food anywhere in europe. so antebellum has provided some jelly fish and sent me to go chinese collaborating share fabiano fever. please can we cook with bass ok now call the idea as a idea yeah yeah. this is 2 different phases of jelly fish this brawl is perfect to all roll all night bugs there's only coal to create the most tender jellyfish and aims to cook it slowly but 1st we wash it in an ice by placing the head to ensure it

doesn't lose the taste of the sea for piano avoids all seasoning no salt no pepper only ok so look cooking this movie that is in the water about why did you decide to work with go jelly radio of a big picture getting all types of leg that every night oh yeah. when the jedi fish comes out of the suv be it's finished off in the oven the piano the vision for the future and for me that is truly truly exciting fusing traditional italian cooking with striking martin ingredients for beyond all plans to serve the jelly fish with spears of campari gin and parsley on a bed of italian leaves we have a taste it looks like it's you. it's time for me to taste for n.p.r. news creation on the go jenny team has joined us to see the results for themselves .

it truly magnificent. i love it there like it i love it still it's just it really. jellyfish is delicious with a very light seafood taste and the texture. but if jellyfish are going to make it on to dinner plates across the world the public will have to fall in love with it which i had tried to. do you can find the some of the things that people are looking now so not low calorie snack and also a good taste so you have all the ingredients in for the food to be appreciated the basic. i feel privileged certified jellyfish this has given me a taste of what the future might hold if we all get on board and find this new

food then we might have a chance of progressing the damage we have done to our. food pioneers around the world a planning the diets of the future. globally over a quarter of ice free land is used for grazing animals. causing enormous habitat damage. as a californian company may have a solution. the impossible. a soit based meat substitutes that looks and tastes just like the real thing. meanwhile in israel scientists the farming mediterranean fruit flies as a source of protein. using 99 percent less land and emitting just $170.00 of the greenhouse gases generated when raising regular life starts. and in you see

. and produces a making insects more palatable to western tastes by coating them in chocolate it's . time is running out to halt the food industries environmental destruction the challenge for us all is wherever possible to eat with the planet in mind and to choose our menus wisely to help prevent the decline of a natural. bottles in cameroons rivers. on. plastic everywhere. but if bottles can be fishing boats. and bubble gum wellington boots. what more can be done with this plague of palomas. thrives reimagining
