12:30 pm
in fact the census shows that malnutrition that causes stunted growth is also being found in children were not from low income families another example of how cold 19 is impacting our health well beyond the virus itself you see in human al-jazeera. this is al-jazeera the top stories gaza has been under a near constant barrage of asked rice as israel launched its most intense bombardment in years police headquarters and government buildings have been destroyed and at least 44 palestinians killed. palestinian rockets have rained down on israeli towns and cities killing at least 5 more than a 1000 were fired over night targeting areas as far away as tel of even the north down to the south. al jazeera as gaza produces stuff i've been reporting on how
12:31 pm
israel is also targeting weaponry of armed groups. so very very rare in a new development for the forces that intercept. a drawn. was used by the thought of you know an armed group. pretty out attack inside a very lucrative this is a new development. by you had the problem on the grounds that they have not announced about that report supposed to be like. a sort of pride mary but you know . the great is more to you live in a particular sharon the product seen in group series there are 3 goals or 2 more got another level of pollution israel's national police spokesman says they're bracing for more palestinian rocket attacks. we saw for the 1st time yesterday rockets that were fired deep into the heart of israel were fully cordoned 18 with
12:32 pm
the i.d.f. in order to be ready if necessary for further rockets but as we can see everything is happening in waves we saw a barrage of rockets more than $100.00 rockets at a time so we realize that the situation is serious and the through threats of the hamas is ongoing if we're looking ahead over the next few days security assessments are being made you know it's nations has war on the sides that their own trying for a full scale war it's called for an immediate cease fire saying normal people are paying for leaders failure to deescalate. in other news india has announced a new record daily number of coronavirus deaths more than 4200 the number of new infections is also up again after falling for 2 days at just over 348000 experts say the actual numbers a grossly under reported those are your headlines news continues here on out is there are. we tell the untold stories.
12:33 pm
we speak one of us. we caught up a little side. no matter where it takes us the police or you feel syria. and palin and pasha tell your story we are your voice. your news your net al-jazeera. has populations grow and incomes rise with eating more and more animal protein double the amount of milk has the audience 960 s. and 4 times the right minutes in fact the average person out of
12:34 pm
a 40 character abs of me to a chair think $350.00 coats of pounds that come out of this is about persuading you to go seek an overture tarion that's a personal choice there with a big warning like spot what all this meat and dairy consumption is doing small planet and livestock farming is highly commuting it will cause huge amounts of resources and summits large quantities of brain health assets. but i'm going to 1300000000 people around the world who depend on livestock of us wife of how do you this is less animal protein none at all look at it from sustainable and ethical sources and this program we visit not the state in the u.k. but found us a pretty scene i'm a stored dairy and croplands the 1st of the santiago chile where a parent company is revolutionizing the trade industry the cancer and artificial intelligence. the world's growing no exception to food made for money my products many of them process is increasing not only cholesterol levels but also
12:35 pm
our environment that footprint. scientists say we have to curve a craving for meat in their e not only for their own health but also for the planets but how will the money just keeps on growing well the answer may not come from humans here in santiago chile well start to say leads to the help of artificial intelligence. and maybe of mice so maybe you're welcome to not go thank you. this is actually experimental not go so what you're going to see here is the interaction between technology and humans in this kitchen there is a very special chef an artificial. so where is the step here. here in the experiment then nice one more member of the chefs to use
12:36 pm
a big generates receive piece which rebin an emo bass the she's using plants and then the shift followed them. basically it's trying to get a technology that would allow us to predict what combination of ground based ingredients should result in the same sensory experience tastes textures smell the colors for a human being that might sound really crazy. for an algorithm it doesn't the process starts with giving you say a bit a dish to recreate the tray something you know from the fan yeah for instance you know how right you can want yeah. we can try because you know we have to meet also we have to act maybe seen the top of the list and you we have the cheese and also you have eternal sass that it's made from milk. press the button go and generating the recipe. oh you save us more than $100.00
12:37 pm
different recipes we have. you see if it is suggesting that the a mushroom lemonade or and. also baking soda. we have a new talent there not last time yet so we go with her let me come else but not with lesson here though and meet with the will and yes the little self i've been assigned to to steam a recipe includes red pepper and not. using carrots and potatoes. ok so my. working big doors yes so here we have to be friends with salts combining different plants we are trying to achieve this tread at least for spreading in the less than a and this is not a threat or that this quite good more salvi there are very different
12:38 pm
became a book the efforts here actually to make up advice and dishes but to enable you simply to learn more about the qualities to be for in planting rience so the mishaps like my most are just as useful as the successes so we have the results and now we are giving them the smell the flavor the text so you say peace actually learning from our sensory. yes. it's going to take a week to go through for the recipes. in the meantime i'm going to find out more about the science behind the operation. get for nothing like eat it it off but after you separate begun it though you said i want to see yes i'm. going to . have that. for my and then almost. if i'm one of the. film we're going to. use the exact
12:39 pm
thing you are writing reading into and breaking them down to their military level. to work out what makes them taste feel luke smell and behave and to understand their nutritional properties then you can determine how to use different plants in order to stimulate the final product. computer scientists and the brains behind you simply. start i was sitting in my office in the university and not just came and told me what do you come up with i'll go to them that finds a plan based formulas to me. and i had no idea how to come up with the solution but we could create the 1st algorithm there was already able to generate the 1st one based formula after we try them in the kitchen we realized that they were actually working and we realize we have something since that moment we never stop. what if
12:40 pm
your goal. change a. pandemic calls because we are using the animal to produce food at scale the biggest goal is like one they want to see that the whole food industry changed thanks to the hostile to push the system to come up with new solutions we've disrupted formulas with great product alternatives not. splitting the anyone anymore. i have a challenge for you here you have the not products that are currently sold in america and out of these very little was here you must guess each of these products what is the vegetable something solace that within that meal. breaks not an apple yes. you can continue with the burger. are there any grapes in this burger not really. no cocoa yet
12:41 pm
actually has cocoa on it. he ones are not going to combine this christian radio is able to without any prior bias find this mind blowing in winning combinations that actually match by star get their only way to really make people to change their current money well based products and start consuming plant based products is when they have a really tasty alternative. and it seems people do find these products they speak from a start up of 10 people in 2016 not good now has a brezinski world not in america and has recently entered the us it's one of a number of food companies which are writing a blog a trend towards value we released the name of products or not the only one predictions is that in 10 years' time the alternative media industry will be bored the 100 and $40000000000.00 supermarket some 1st brands are jumping from the bandwagon. i've been very well do you want to bother you
12:42 pm
here. there are a lot of people making up on solution to a plant based diet and we want to be part of that also that we want to reduce our carbon footprint and how many people are 1 consuming it we're probably going to in between then of course 1000 pieces each month. now for with the folks who live there not me yeah it really feels like a natural pound of cheese if you say this is the view. oh. it's been a week you say left the chefs time to see how they've been getting on doesn't stand . well. so what has happened since the last time i was here we do there try arrow a lot of times. maybe with a ts 10 form or less with the 6.
12:43 pm
point i can't say in care of ingredients but. here inside you have science. technology here you have you sitting. there go my chances of making these at home competitive and secretive business. looks so maybe. a little trite right with. thank you. this is it. means he's fearless and alone is no less than. this is actually amazing him for me that i probably tasted many doing. what i've seen here is a living example of public relation to solve
12:44 pm
a very challenging broadly can go a long way in how we turn going to radically change overnight but these are a few really hope that it could be possible to curb the world's unsustainable addiction to any one product. so we are seeing a shift there is still massive imbalances put this way before the world's mammals were waged in tokens out then 4 percent with wild animals 36 percent of the us humans and 60 percent of the livestock and that 60 percent needs pasture and 4 across which take up around 40 percent of earth's habitable labs so ecosystems are disrupted and viruses and wildlife are more likely to come into contact with livestock and with humans add to this cancer obesity stroke and other illnesses which can be associated with excessive meat consumption and you've got a ticking time bomb the science is today clear. it is so important that if we don't fix food we are very unlikely to fix the planet and over consumption of red meat
12:45 pm
continued towards undermining both planetary health and human health this does not mean that we don't have to go for to terra we carried out a global scientific assessment the commission trying to define scientifically a healthy diet from sustainable from systems and what we find is that a flexitarian diet gives the best outcomes in terms of life expectancy and healthy conditions what is a flexitarian diet will is a diet that drastically reduces red meat consumption compared to the high up at the levels in the industrialized parts of the world animal protein dishes can be served $3.00 to $4.00 times per week to from fish to from white meat and one from red meat so if it's attended diet is a more balanced diet it has reduced dairy products more nuts more fruit more vegetables less salt less sugar and
12:46 pm
a very large increase in whole grain and if you apply this across the world we find that it's not difficult to adapt this to different cultures if all of us eat the healthiest diet the one that benefits us the most we would also have a significant positive in fact on the health of the planet and the could muse's that we have so much evidence that what we eat is probably the single largest contribution towards not only improving the climate but also less pollution better water management and saving biodiversity so every day our food choices really matter. how can the meat we consume as part of the flexitarian actually help the planet but in the course of restoring that. husband and wife team. discovered a highly sustainable way of raising livestock. the conversion
12:47 pm
of wildlife habitat into farmland is a primary driver of biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse the u.k.'s provision for nature is among the poorest on the planet around 70 percent of the country's land surface is used for agriculture while less than 3 percent of ancient woodland remains. hundreds of plant and animal species face extinction including iconic animals such as the turtle dove and the hedgehog. but an increasing appetite for environmentally friendly food plus a rise in domestic eco tourism could offer a lifeline to british farmers and a beacon of hope for british by diversity. i've come to sussex in southern england to visit a dynamic project that is proving it's possible to boost biodiversity at the same time as producing food that's healthy for people and the planet.
12:48 pm
this is the 3 and a half 1000 a kidnapper state run by husband wife team charlie borrowed and isabella tree together they've taken farming convention and turned it on its head. so. isabella thank you so much for having a pleasure so this is the famous net it is it is not sneaky this tree we reckon is about 50550 years old so it see in the interests of a war it seen you know we just can't imagine what it's witnessed it was concerns for the health of this ancient oak that led isabel and charlie to radically reconsider their intensive farming methods the other trees in the landscape which were much younger than this one they were beginning to die back and it was what we were doing to them that was making them so. we were plowing pretty much up to the trunks of all these other trees and pouring chemicals over and we suddenly thought
12:49 pm
like god you know those trees are dying and it's down to us and it was a sort of moment of epiphany really that sort of kicked off a completely different way of thinking. isabella and charlie spent years trying to make net pay but farming the land profitably was proving impossible this soil this very very heavy clay just isn't conducive to modern intensive farming so after about 17 years we were one and a half 1000000 pounds in debt so in 1909 charley said we gotta stop farming we've got to look at something else that's something else was the decision to let nature take over to stop conventional farming altogether. suddenly just letting it go it was like the whole land was breathing a sigh of relief and to austin i felt amazing just looking out of the windows on on land that was recovering and hearing the sounds and watching wild animals with the
12:50 pm
fallow deer you know slowly moving past it was like being in the middle of the serengeti it just felt amazing. have to selling off their milking herd isabella and charlie introduced red deer from the highlands of scotland just beginning to kick off and the rot so his ruling day and night to attract the females. was just absolutely astonishing the life that poor back even the very 1st summer. nap is now hoping some of the rarest species in the u.k. make a comeback turtle doves night jaws and purple emperor butterflies are all thriving here. not really inspired us i think to think could we roll this out across the whole estate but could we actually then do something wilder more of the estate was give. over to nature with dramatic results. so this is the 2nd
12:51 pm
chapter of the net wild man project and i'm told this is where things get really wild. on it ladies and gents. so we come down to the southern block here and we're going to meet charlie paul and he's the other half of the net wild land project and still for to take us and give us a bit of a tour around the. 3 just in a backyard. with. the kids across an oculist might seem strange getting in a safari vehicle to drive around the english countryside in the wild late tourist to see the next big 5.2 part of the business morning. isn't long before a 1st sighting oh you see in something followed you're really flighty thing you
12:52 pm
look look look look look look all i didn't love my dog. that was genuinely funny. charlie wants me to see a rare visit to class 8 on these shores over 5 centuries ago white stork. if you look at the oak tree like that and there's that there's a broad area with where there were doctors you will see that so not all costs are going to. go bang well this is actually the 2nd nest to be built in britain and 604 years. stalks were almost extinct in the u.k. but charlie and isabelle are helping to reestablish their big draw for eco 2 lists wanting to see something unique. net hosts over $50000.00 visitors every year. these animals we hope will be a connection for people and nature with these cosmetic animals you can start to the tiniest people into the countryside to think again about what they're looking at
12:53 pm
the city. going to find some longhorns but are just up there somewhere. spotted them at just over here in the scrub. longhorn cattle or one of nets so-called big 5 animals introduced to the estate to mimic the behavior of the wild ancestors. these longhorn. the biggest of the big 5. so there's a proxies of the wild cattle of europe and it's got traits we hope of still there in the breed so the grass eating animals their brows eating animals brows being they eating leaves and bark and and how the vegetation as well as grasses why is that important ecologically so we consider that the drivers of creating new
12:54 pm
habitats are these big havel's they are the ones that are driving a system and they are creating the habitats where everything else is and pouring in so you really flipping it here rather than having a field and putting cows in the field you're essentially employing these longhorn as staff so that they have a job to do yeah yeah. from the air it's easy to see how this landscape is changed from neatly arranged crop fields to savanna like scrub land is kept in check by the free roaming herbivores nibbling at the scrub to keep it at bay and whilst at the same time spreading seeds and enriching the biodiversity in the soil. they also produce 50 tons of wild organic free range meat every year finishing all provide an important source of income for the state. this would be an arab oil field in 2005 say so we were putting on fertilizers and pesticides they've got
12:55 pm
double the amount of organic matter in the sold double the carbon the soil is becoming healthy and and wholesome again. the animals known as the big 5 x. more ponies red deer followed the tamworth peaks and long horn cattle are allowed to move freely around the state. ecologist laurie jackson one of 16 scientists on site is taking us out to track down some of the. most affected ecosystem engineers. so this is one of our lovely tamworth south and what she's doing is this great behavior called retooling so you can kind of see if you get in here what they've actually done they put this really sort of strong my pulse now using that to just basically ripped back and sort of lift over the tire and see what might be hiding underneath that they might like to eat. is the constant disturbance of the land by these animals to create such
12:56 pm
a diverse ecosystem. we're not sort of plowing the ground in any way and we are trying to get back to what our ecosystems would have looked like and so these 5 different types of animals that we have here there o'shea from this landscape instead of subtly different ways because they've all got different things that they want to do different places they want to guy that's the in the midst of cutting edge science yeah it's very much about the sort of process so it's us kind of as much as possible taking ourselves out of the equation and the theater things that just $530.00 there is quite refreshing. charleen isabella's radical decision to stop conventional farming is starting to pay financial dividends their council is booked years ahead the wild range meat business is booming and there's a fire eater growing ever more popular. but it's a success in encouraging wildlife this attracted increasing numbers of farmers to visit now to see how lessons learned here could turn around britain's biodiversity
12:57 pm
crisis. when i was it agricultural college you know there were the environmentalists who we call the bunny huggers and they were the proper farming folk and we were learning how to how to be productive and to and to intensively farmer land and it seems mad that we're still in these 2 camps and what we need to do and what this will assist us to do the whole next project i think is to is to bring both camps together and say farmers finally twigging they can we what we can learn here into their day to day activity on the farm profitably. everyone is talking about everyone is looking at this wonderful island of biodiversity and a thriving business and where we're going to get to in the future how are things going to change. i think it's begun to happen and that's what's really exciting this projects across the whole of britain from devon to norfolk to northumberland we have visions of wildlife corridors and really joined up landscape again which would be thrilling so this is not just conservation for its own sake. we're talking
12:58 pm
about a business that has to be financially viable and the right resetting 120000 pounds worth of bint in 5 years' time we're hoping that that will turn over 3 quarters of a 1000000 so we're hoping that we're going to create a business with some of the best mates in the world did you ever dare to dream that it would grow in the way that it has done so i think at the time it was just you know wouldn't it be interesting if we could do this experiment and if biodiversity could increase just a little bit that would be worth doing and had any idea that it would take off and become a magnet for us through all these incredibly rare species so it's been beyond beyond anybody's tree i think really. supports the upshots here while avoiding or at least significantly reduced the meat and dairy is probably the single biggest way because less of our environmental impacts and there are plenty of means to do that plant based berkus misread in the last baby food
12:59 pm
made from alfie this may take a bit of a mindset change but they are real alternatives for those of us who don't want to accomplish on a vegetarian the more more sustained resourced animal options available as long as from each class of them the risk how way in our plates and it's up to all of us who are lucky enough to be able to choose what to eat today he said. al jazeera is news what are the biggest stories of the week delivered to your inbox plus analysis and opinions that have the world. subscribe of the conversation. full of protest by a palestinian artist using a symbol of national identity to create postage and passport stops. well as for some burglary here's another story don't you like come flying anywhere sending
