5:33 am
couldn't last $30000000.00 it was a terrifying experience how artificial intelligence has raised the stakes and risks on the money markets as markets go faster and faster and we're opening up the possibility for instability for no. money bonds on i'll just 0. the populations grow and incomes rise with eating more and more animal protein double the amount of milk as the id 960 s. and 4 times the right minutes in fact the average person now consumes i was 40
5:34 am
kilograms of meat a chair think $350.00 coats of pounds. some of this is about persuading you to go seek an over to terry and 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 greenhouse gases. we're going to 1300000000 people around the world who depend on livestock or that's why for the 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 of the u.k. but found as a p.c. made a mistake terry and croplands the 1st all to 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 those
5:35 am
of 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 will be of mice so maybe you're welcome to not go thank you. this is actually experimental. 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 though you said here in the experiment 10 nice one more member of the chefs. use their big generates receive peace which rebin an emo based
5:36 am
the she is 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 in greeley and 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 betray something i've never been a fan or for instance you know how are you can one or both we can try because now we have to meet also we have to act and be seen that all of the last minute 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
5:37 am
a 100 different recipes we have the ingredients you see if it is suggesting that the a mushroom lemonade or and rice also baking soda. we have a new talent that is there not less and yet so we go with her let that become melts but not with their lesson here though and meet with the will and yes and the little self i've been assigned to to steam a recipient glutes red pepper and not while using carrots and potatoes. ok so my teeth isn't quite working perfect or yes so here we have to be friends results combining different plants we are trying to achieve this tread at least for spraying in the less than year and this is not a shredder and that this quite good more salvi there are very different
5:38 am
became a book the efforts here isn't actually to make up a dyson dishes but to enable you simply to learn more about the qualities to be for implanting rience so the methods like my most are really are just as useful as the successes so we have the results and now we are giving the smell the flavor the text so use a piece actually learning from our sensory. yes. it's going to take a week to go through for the recipes that you save we have. 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 some of the surround yes i'm. going to. have a lot of that on one hand and then. if i'm one of the.
5:39 am
film we're going to. use that exact moment thing through on a lie singing really into them breaking them down to their military level sable to work out what makes them taste feel loop 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. couldn't be charter computer scientist 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 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 they were actually working and we realize we have something since that moment we
5:40 am
never stop. what if your goal. change or the. 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 out there now not. loading 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. great know an apple yes. you can continue with the burger. are there any grapes in this burger not really strawberry. no cocoa yet
5:41 am
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 presence in america and has recently entered the us it's one of a number of food companies which are writing a bill trend towards we released the name of products or known as the old one prediction says that in 10 years' time the alternative media industry will be bored $100.00 of them for deep $1000000000.00 supermarket some 1st brands are jumping from the bandwagon. i've been pretty well we do want to bother
5:42 am
you 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 read between then of course 1000 pieces each month. now for with the folks who live there not me yeah it really feels like an actual pound of cheese if you say this is the view. it's been a week you site left the time to see how they've been getting on it doesn't stand. well. so what has happened since the last time i was here we do try arrow a lot of times. maybe with a ts 10 formula with the 6.
5:43 am
point i can say in caring radiance. inside you have science. technology here you have you sitting. there go my chances of making peace at home. and secretive business. looks. a little trite right with. thank you. this is. a load is no less than. this actually amazing in for me that i probably tasted many is doing. what i've seen here is a living example of how the communication to solve
5:44 am
a very challenging broadly can go a long way in how we turn going to radically change overnight but these are a few me 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 it this way if all the world's mammals were weighed in tokyo 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 us habitable labs. so ecosystems are disruptive and viruses and wildlife are more likely to come into contact with livestock and humans add to this trap set a base to strike and other illnesses which can be associated with excessive meat consumption and you've got a ticking time bomb the science is today clear food is so important that if we don't fix food we are very unlikely to fix the planet and over consumption of red
5:45 am
meat continued towards undermining both planetary health and human health this does not mean that we all have to go for it 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 died well is a diet that quite drastically reduces red meat consumption compared to the high park 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 a terrible diet there's a more balanced diet it has reduced dairy products more nuts more fruit more vegetables less salt less sugar and
5:46 am
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 muses that we have so much evidence that what we eat is probably the single largest contribution towards not only improving the climate but also the. it's pollution better water management and saving biodiversity so every day our food choices really matter. so how can the meat we consume as part of the flexitarian dot actually help the planets but in the course of restoring that donna's farmlands a husband and wife team discovered a highly sustainable way of raising livestock while. the conversion
5:47 am
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 head. but an increase in the opportunity 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 on the planet.
5:48 am
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 us. 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 scene you know we just can't imagine. what it's witnessed it was concerns for the health of this ancient oak that led isabelle 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 suffer and we were ploughing pretty much up to the trunks of all these other trees and pouring chemicals over and we suddenly
5:49 am
thought my 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 is 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 something else was the decision to let nature take over and 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
5:50 am
fallow deer you know slowly moving past it was like being in the middle of the serengeti it just felt amazing. after selling off their milking herd isabella and charlie introduced read to you from the highlands of scotland just beginning to kick off in the ruts so his ruling day and night to attract the females. was just absolutely astonishing the life that poor back even the very 1st so much. change. nappies now hoping some of the rarest species. in the u.k. make a comeback turtle doves knight 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 given over to nature with dramatic results. so this is the 2nd
5:51 am
chapter of the net while van 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 he offered to take us and give us a bit of a tour around. 3 just in the backyard. of ross and binoculars it may seem strange getting in a safari vehicle to drive around the english countryside but while a tourist to see the next big 5.2 part of the business morning. it isn't long before a 1st sighting oh all you see in something followed you're really flighty thing you
5:52 am
look look look look look look. look at it i love my job was. that was genuinely funny. charlie wants me to see a rare visit to the last 8 on these shores with high centuries ago white stork. if you look at the tree like that and there's that there's a bra with there but doctors will see that some at all costs are going to go to get home. so that is actually the 2nd best to be built in britain and 604 years. storks were almost extinct in the u.k. but charlie and isabel are helping to reestablish their big draw for eco tourists wanting to see something unique net posts 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 in times people into the countryside to think again about what they're looking at the
5:53 am
same. way of going to find some long or that are just up there somewhere. spotted them. 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 these are proxies of the wild cattle of europe and it's got traits we hope of still there in the breed so that grass eating animals their brows eating animals browse being there 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
5:54 am
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 that 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 vanishing and 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
5:55 am
pesticides they've got 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 this but this is 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
5:56 am
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 they're all shaping 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 at the in the midst of cutting edge science yet 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 councell is book 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
5:57 am
crisis when i was it i recall 2 college you know there were the environmentalists who we called 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 net 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 corridos and really joined up landscape again which would be thrilling so this is not just conservation for its own sake. we're talking
5:58 am
about a business that has to be financially viable in the moat with setting 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 meets in the world did you ever dare to dream that it would grow in the way that it has done 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 only really 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 dreams i think really. so what's the upshot 10 while avoiding or at least significantly reducing 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 burgers make running the lab baby food
5:59 am
make alkie this may take a bit of a mindset change but they are real alternatives for those of us who don't want to accomplish convict on a vegetarian or a more more sustained resourced animal options available as long as we eat less of them the risk how a in our plates and it's up to all of us who are lucky enough to be able to choose what to eat to he said. i'm perry davies and they came billy and western australia where indigenous communities are teaming up with scientists to create a new approach to marine conservation the 1st thing you learn before you even but just real top of the world with your. grandfather. i'm afraid your new reporting from brazil if you're going to try to protect him by the versity now defending themselves against illegal invaders brought it on al-jazeera. we understand the differences and similarities of cultures across the world. so no
6:00 am
matter where you come. out to 0 bringing you the news and current affairs that matter tease. out just. a relentless but boggling toggles of forces families to flee their homes palestinian factions fire hundreds more rockets into israel. so horrible you all deserve long headquarters here in coming up in the next 13.
