8:33 am
in the rich world but will super charge inflation cycle in the economic recovery and football business model wasn't working before the pandemic and it's not working night. counting the cost on al-jazeera. has populations grow and incomes rise with eating more and more animal protein double the amount of milk has the idea $960.00 s. and 4 times the red meat in fact the average person now contains a 40 kilograms of me to a chair think $350.00 quarter pounds. how much of this is about persuading you to go sneak and or vegetarian that's a personal choice there was
8:34 am
a big warning lights about what all this meat and dairy consumption is doing small planet and livestock farming is highly polluting it will cause huge amounts of resources and summits large quantities of greenhouse gases. but i'm going to 1300000000 people around the world who depend on livestock for their survival so how do you this is less animal protein none at all look at it from sustainable and ethical sources and this program revisit the state in the u.k. where found as a p.c. makes a stored dairy and crop plans the 1st all to santiago chile where a parent company is revolutionizing the fruit industry the plants 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 our environment but footprint. scientists say we have to cover cravings for meat in
8:35 am
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. call 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 if you step here though you said here in the experiment 10 nice one more member of the chefs. generates receive peace which rebin an emo bass the shoes using plants and then the shift followed them. basically it's trying to get
8:36 am
a technology that would allow us to predict what communication of ground based ingredients should result in the same sensory experience tastes textures smell the corners 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 now we have the meat also we have the ak and he seen the top of the list and yeah we have the cheese and also you have little sass that it's made from milk. press the button go and generating the recipe. though you save us more than a 100 different recipes we have. you save it you suggest think that here mushroom lemonade or and. also baking soda. we have
8:37 am
a new talent they may not last and yet so we go with them. become melts but not with lesson here though and meet with the will and yes and the little self i've been assigned to to steal a recipe includes red pepper and not. using carrots and potatoes. ok so my. working towards yes so here we have to be friendly selves combining different plants we are trying to achieve this thread at least for spreading in the last area and this is not a threat or that this quite good more salvi. very different 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 implanting rience so the mishaps
8:38 am
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 that we have. in the meantime i'm going to find out more about the science behind the operation. get for nothing like it was it but after you separate begun it though you said i want to see some of this around yes i'm. going to. have that. for my and then. if i'm one of the. film we're going to. use the exact thing you are writing reading into and breaking them down to their really level
8:39 am
sable to work out what makes them taste feel smell and behave and to understand their nutritional properties then you can determine how to use different plant items in order to simulate 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 realized we had something since that moment we never stop. what if your goal. change or the. pandemic of bad calls because we are
8:40 am
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. loading the anymore and he will. have a challenge for you here you have to not products that are currently sold in america and out of these various i was here you must guess each of these products what is the vegetable something so let's start with a not meal. breaks not an apple yes. you can continue with the burger. are there any grapes in this burger not really. no cocoa yet actually has cocoa on it. he ones are not going to combine this christian radio is able to without any prior
8:41 am
bias find these mind blowing in winning combinations that actually match the animal by star get their only way to really make people to change their current anymore 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 startup of 10 people into and 16 not goodenough 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 bill trend towards value 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 born a 140 $1000000000.00 supermarket some fast food runs for jumping on the bandwagon. i've been pretty well do you want to bother you here. there are a lot of people making up on signal to a plant based diet we want to be part of that also that we want to reduce our
8:42 am
carbon footprint and how many people are 1 consuming it we're probably going to read between $10.12 pieces each month. now for with the focus of. not me yeah it really feels like actually. she's received this interview peter goelz. it's been a week she sighed left the chef's time to see how getting on doesn't stand. well. so what has happened since the last time i was here we do their try arrow a lot of times. maybe with a ts 10 form or less with the 6. point i can say in care being greedy and. here inside you have
8:43 am
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 it. means he's fearless and i loathe is no less than. this actually amazing him for me that i probably tasted many is doing. what i've seen here is a living example of public humiliation to solve a very challenging brilliant 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
8:44 am
addiction to any one product. so we are seeing a shift there is still massive imbalances 'd put it this way if all the world's mammals were waved and tokens out then 4 percent of the wild animals 36 percent of the us humans and 60 percent of the livestock and that 60 percent needs kostin for a corpse which take up around 40 percent of us 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 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 so. 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 continued towards undermining both planetary health and human health this does
8:45 am
not mean that we all have to go for to tary and 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 2 from fish 2 from white meat and one from red meat so if it's a talent diet is a more balanced diet it has reduced dairy products more nuts more fruit more vegetables less salt less sugar and a very large increase in whole grain and if you apply this across the world we
8:46 am
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 a 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 of wildlife habitat into farmland is a primary driver of biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse the u.k.'s provision
8:47 am
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. 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 on the planet. this is the 3 and a half 1000 a kidnapper state run by husband wife team charlie borrowed and isabella tree
8:48 am
together they've taken farming convention and turned it on its head. isabella thank you so much for having us. so this is the famous net it is it is that snooty 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 so. we were plowing pretty much up to the trunks of all these other trees and pouring chemicals over and we suddenly thought 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
8:49 am
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 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 follow deer you know slowly moving past it was like being in the middle of the serengeti it just felt amazing. after selling off their
8:50 am
milking herd isabella and charlie introduced red deer 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 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 given over to nature with dramatic results. so this is the 2nd chapter of the net while van project and i'm told this is where things get really wild. on it ladies
8:51 am
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 he's offered to take us and give us a bit of a tour around the. region about you. hear him across an innocuous it might seem strange getting in a safari vehicle to drive around the english countryside the wildlife tourist to see nets. big 5.2 part of business morning. isn't long before a 1st sighting. you see in something followed you're really flighty think you're looking at bla bla bla bla. my goodness. that was
8:52 am
genuinely funny. charlie wants me to see a rare visit to class 8 on these shores high centuries ago white stork. if you look at the oak tree like that and there's that there's a broad area with your binoculars you will see that so not all ghosts are going to . go down 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 tourists wanting to see something unique posts over $50000.00 visitors every year. these animals we hope will be a connection for people in nature with these cosmetic animals you can start to the tiniest people into the countryside to think again about what they're looking at the same.
8:53 am
they're going to find some long ones that are just up there somewhere. spotted them . just over here in the scrub. longhorn cattle one of net 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 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 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
8:54 am
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 the finishing 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 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
8:55 am
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 get 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 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 are would have looked like to see these 5
8:56 am
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 and yeah it's very much about the sort of process so it's kind of as much as possible taking ourselves out of the equation and the theatre things that just 30 is quite refreshing. charleen isabella's radical decision to stop conventional farming is starting to pay financial dividends the council is booked years ahead of 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 attractive increasing numbers of farmers to visit now to see how lessons learned here could turn around britain's biodiversity 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
8:57 am
learning out or how to be productive and to and to intensively farm the 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 net 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. what i think is 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 i'm really joined up landscape again which would be thrilling so this is not just conservation for its own sake we're talking about a business that has to be financially viable for the boat with setting $120000.00 pounds worth of bint in 5 years' time we're hoping that that will turn over 3
8:58 am
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 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. so what's the upshot 10 well 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 berkus misread in the last baby food 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
