3:34 pm
if we want to keep food on the table without continuing to ravage our natural environment, we need to completely rethink how our food industries work. i'm russell bid and finland were one restaurant is championing a hyper local circular economy. to create a revolutionary approach to dining, i mostly for a new entity, was scientists. combating jellyfish blooms by taking them out of the sea. and on to our plain developed countries like finland is hard to imagine that we are in the thick of a global food crisis. these helsinki shields us back to the hilt with a wide variety of tasty treat bear salami. oh, but what's the true cost of all is choice to are increasingly belated planet reindeer spring rolls. a global foot system is incredibly wasteful. we use huge
3:35 pm
amounts of energy, water, and land to grow food and fly thousands of miles around the world. and we for much of it to remain on it. it's incredibly inefficient and balanced operation. orval post, i don't know if my pronunciation is quite right and one more time called for coast . okay, so you've been having a dig around to see if we can get some statistics about the amount of food that is wasted. so she imagined this pooler bread is total food produced in the world. last 10 percent during cultivation, 7 percent is lost after the harvest, 12 percent, which is lost during processing or point of sale. and another 11 percent is lost after has been purchased. i means in total, over a 3rd in the food will produce wade is wasted, or just thrown away. last as something shocking to me. a growing movement of pioneers are taking steps to fix this global problem. this is
3:36 pm
ultima. a 5 star restaurant aims to be the model of sustainability. all the ingredients are local and all the processes are designed to do 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 clear, explain a little bit about what ultima is and why, why you've set out. it's all started when me and my colleague tom, me, we were taking the bins out and we were thinking like, how can we make this much waste? how could we do with a things better for the environment for the customer? and that is our biggest ambition. one way to do that is by going hyper local. in other words, by growing ingredients right here in the restaurant, i've seen a farm before, but never in a restaurant after say, this is great. the main thing about this system, it's
3:37 pm
a hydroponic water circulate. from up here, the plant takes always the water all from the rules. okay. it's a 95 percent less water than their conventional for me. the best thing for me in this idea is that are we can cut the fresh herbs just before the service of every day. there is minimum waste or no taste, it its various ways and from the seat to fully grown in the system one week totally organic or no 1st decided, snow fertilizers, nothing. ultima 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 the even farm livestock on site, edible carbon neutral crickets that are in the lights. yes. you know, are the either case in the light will to my serve up over 1000 crickets each week
3:38 pm
in their 5 star dishes with cricket larvae growing into fully grown adults within 2 months. this is the bigger home. wow. hello. yes, crickets. so can you give us a sense of how these little craters fit into this notion of a circular economy? we can use all the stems of the sellers or the pills of a cucumber if we are feed them one way with basal lives where they will test most of what basil now and that where we don't have to throw anything away because they, if almost anything who henry's mission is fundamentally about changing our attitude to the food that we eat and preparing us for a future where it meets like beef may not be so readily available. 100 gram, offer crickets. a 22 grams of pure protein. take 99 percent less water and growing a beef. ah,
3:39 pm
so their carbon footprint is it's like nothing. henry's also trialing a protein rich. i'll gain the ideas so innovative. they're being seen as the future of food production on this world and beyond. this is cost of this is also the one thing that nasa is interested about. nasa, the space agency. yeah. well it's, it's a potato, some space st pertains. yeah, it's called air upon it. so. ready it growth in the air. hello. yeah. now that is something you don't see every day that it is wet. yes, it is in the air, but it is still kept moist. yes. room. but this way you don't really need. ah, and he saw the benefits about this is it can produce 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 stuff. we don't have to be millionaires. we, we just need to,
3:40 pm
you know, rove things forward, make people think we're talking about, you know, for security, desertification, climate change, big issues, they really care about the stuff. and i'm on board and i really had seen football later on henry's invitation, i'll be cooking dinner here. but 1st i travel just one hour down the road to see if these principles of circular economics can work on a much larger industrial scale. it's of ether away, but let's say for scooters. griffith, farm and on. here is exactly now. all right, do you need a license for the is there breaks here at robbie's farm actor turn. farmer robert jordan also has a vertical farm. but this one is on another level. oh man. oh, oh, lisa jack is the different season inside, isn't it?
3:41 pm
so it's like a herb safari. what we got means, vassal again, some coriander. i'd expected you to have a kind of a glass as well. so this is entirely electric ellie de la, if no, no sunlight used that hole, the console to wire men creates a more efficient growth. and a much higher yield isn't much waste from an operation like this. we grow in a, in a biodegradable pop. so we have no plastics inside the, the growth area anymore. everything is biodegradable. robert's goal is to prove that these hypoth sustainable techniques could one day be rolled out in every city and town in the world. transporting this lead sundays, pete and this fought around the world, is not that clever. it should always be produced locally and consume broad locally . well, i love that rather than taking the food to the plate, you're taking a farm to, to the, to the club,
3:42 pm
close to display of your i'm figure 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 composted in used on the farms that say there reconceptualize thing, the concept, the waste of my way back to ultima henry's asked me to pick up some supplies for tonight's dinner service 1st. and i wonder if i've come to the right place. i, i, are you doing what you do now? here? we're growing mushrooms. we're growing oyster mushrooms on coffee wished finished. people are crazy about mushrooms and they drink a lot of coffee. is it an absolute j back that, that is an absolute perfect space? these are, these are ready to harvest. there will be harvested today. actually, we don't want to hold you up. we'd love to give you a hand creases, team collect, use coffee, groans from businesses across helsinki. the grounds provide all the nutrients, mushrooms need to explode into light. oh,
3:43 pm
my fall or that i that is amazing. you can just grab the whole cluster and then twist it until it comes off. oh, there you go. that's so nancy eating it. we have um, the consumer products are we call it a healthy, any grow kit and best 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 creatures emerging. yeah. here in finland there's now quite active community of, of home growers. encouraging consumers to grow food at home is the kind of strategy that will reduce our dependence on industrial agriculture. christmas team of sold $3000.00 of their kits and even run workshops to teach people how to grow fantastic
3:44 pm
funding. all right, so we've done a harvesting, we've got our mushrooms back, the restaurant gonna cook them up. so what's the hands ready to go? i ready for group tom, you can take the friggin. oh my god, what have you done? we've got the salad, greens, and herbs which are going over there. yeah. we got the crickets which grown up there and the mushrooms, which about half hour away. yeah. i'm so pretty local. it's about lucas. it can get, you know. i mean, i'm fisher, one of these little guys. yeah. i can take the prickly little legs. if i tell you what, i think it's super sophistic. it's a really nice protein to credit. yeah. yeah. really. thank you very much here. so
3:45 pm
much leisure that you can use it, these ideas can go mainstream is what they want. whether it's, you know, the circular economy or the hyper local production, or just kind of general transparency of the operation. hit start to see a grow glass pieces. and that is in the world and reducing the environmental impact and absolutely the world's going to mom for food is pushing ever increasing pressure on natural resources. the waste campaign, as believe our environment may be close to breaking points, buddhist, the single biggest impact that humans have on nature. we are deforest, india, 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 about the sick that planet earth has faced least a 3rd of the wealth. food is currently being wasted. we're talking about ugly fruit
3:46 pm
and vegetables on farms being wasted because they don't comply with cosmetic standards. we're talking about huge heaving shopping aisles, the food, which is just going to end up in the supermarket bins. and the reason why they're there is because the supermarkets know that's what triggers are response of taking and filling our bhaskar. even though week after week on average, people are 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 ecological destructive practices. that should give us hope that we can flip this enormous problem into one of the most delicious tools to tackle environmental milner in aah with
3:47 pm
over 7500 kilometers of coast time. italy has relied on the boundary of the sea for thousands of years. ah, but hidden beneath these as your waters, an environmental catastrophe may be underway. i'm a cedar for renewal, and i finish chef and food right for nearly 30 years. italian cuisine is one of my passions. so when i heard is these fishing waters were under threat. i just had to investigate. i'm here in southern italy were italians are facing a rather stinging problem. lou jellyfish numbers are up 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 let j to find out how jellyfish could help alleviate the impending food crisis by becoming an ingredient in the italian kitchen. bob,
3:48 pm
1st though i've met with marine biologist, dr. stefano prior. know who is researching the rise and jellyfish numbers. there is a scientific evidence that there are some increases, particularly in causal arial, subject to anthropogenic input. so human impacts on the call sir. my producer, an announcement of the frequency and it wound us from jellyfish. dr. stephan, i was referred to the jess jellyfish. numbers are booming due to a variety of manmade factors. artificial waterways like the so as canal which connects the red sea to the mediterranean are transporting new jellyfish. species here in climate change is enabling these newcomers to survive with fantasy temperatures in the med rising by 1.15 degrees c in the last 3 decades. how bad as hoffman, stephanie ecological impacts of jellyfish is sir. equivalent to 2 lions from the
3:49 pm
savannah. they are top or the doors, so they kind of have an impact on the functioning of the marine ecosystem some cases. so we have larger, la fisher wish loom suit to reach dance with his life up to 300 or, or 400 pounds. so bare square kilometers along the coastline. so these were the fur fur, particularly human activities like swimming on the along the calls or fishery and even aquaculture plants may be affected because in some cases the animal show the fish can keep 100 thousands of fish. in a few days, these blooms are hitting local fishing industries. hard is estimated that in the north adriatic they cost the italian fishing lead $8500000.00 euro as a year. stephanie said me not to the aquarium of january to discover how the creek just unique reproductive process is really compounding the problem. the baby family vivian, the maybe early fish curator, sophia lever on know,
3:50 pm
is breeding thousands of jelly fish this little she doesn't know about these potent pulsing creatures. why are the jellyfish so efficient reproducing? they are doing that that the relieve their, a huge a quantity of sperm and egg they 30 live in this step by we have plenty of love them or these tango on the bottom of the sea. he says on the bottom and became a poly, each polyps relieved after division. a very big number of done if it is the rumor that the apparently in the fi, jellyfish are so prolific at breathing to single adult can lay up to 45000 eggs a day. these ancient invertebrates have existed since before the dinosaurs and they inhabit every ocean on a jellyfish holmes at decimated irish salmon fisheries and hit the taurus
3:51 pm
industry of australia. but one beat saw 13000 bathers get stung in a single week. that back and let j. i've heard that a research project is close to her breakthrough. it's called go jelly. this is our latham talk to antoinette leoni and her colleagues aim to show food, say, to authorities. that jellyfish are a safe, plentiful food source. but serving poison, has jellyfish makes me a little nervous. are they all safe to eat? no, no. we're with the star. the. each of these is some because it just be, is this the good a, the different boxes compound, the each jellyfish you will measure? yes, we measure and the weight of that doctor we froze there in the liquid the nitro. john? yeah. in order to extra different then on there is some jelly fish that could be laid out for a yeoman. and it is that are really say dr. antoinette less research shows that
3:52 pm
most mediterranean jellyfish are perfectly safe to eat with just a small number. needing toxins are moved through freezing or simply by washing. it's giving me hope that this could be a genuine food for the future. what are the other challenges that you face in the euro? a jellyfish is considered an noisy, okay, not a landra. this could be changed on the eve, but our start is demonstrate that they are a very power, fuller, or a source of food. them could be important for local fishermen, la loca la restaurants, or for loca la economy am. if jellyfish me goes mainstream here, it could help re balance marine ecosystems and read at helen waters. this gelatinous manager mm hm. and with 80 percent protein and just 5 percent fat,
3:53 pm
it could also become a highly prized alternative to me. a farming nice stock is responsible for up to 14.5 percent of greenhouse gas emissions. so eating jellyfish as a substitute could help reduce the very global warming that causes subgroups that already popular in back to the far east. but right now they can't legally be sold as food anywhere in europe. so antenna has provided some jelly fish and sent me to go. jelly is collaborating, share fabiani viva o 3. how we cook with the database? okay, well now carmella daniel adela? yeah, yes. hello. this is 2 different spaces of jellyfish. this brow is buyer for 2 in a row. oh,
3:54 pm
not much. this only cold treat the most tender jellyfish and pap yano aims to cook it slowly. but 1st we wash it in an ice by raising head to ensure it doesn't lose the taste of the c pepe i know avoids all seasoning or folds, nor pepper only oil. okay, so we're cooking the soviet, which is in a water. why did you decide to work with go jelly? do you all the plugin all or? yes. like i said langley? exactly in. oh yes. when the jellyfish comes out of the so b, it's finished off in the oven. the piano her has the vision for the future. and for me, that is truly, truly exciting. fusing traditional italian cooking with striking martin ingredients for our piano plans to serve the jellyfish with spears of campari gin and parsley
3:55 pm
on the bed of italian leaves. we have a dis, it looks like a doom is time for me to taste for pianos creation. and the go. jenny team has joined us to see the results for themselves. good, truly, magnificent life. i love it. i don't like it. lovely. i love it. de la feel that i'm really happy. i know jenny fish is delicious with a very light sea food taste and texture similar to calamari, but a jellyfish. okay. to make it on to dinner plates across the world. the public will have to fall in love with it. you would have to try it, please try. so what the team is for the you can find the some of the things that people are looking now saw no far too low calories. and also a good face to saw. you had all the ingredients that followed if would be appreciated by the customer. ah,
3:56 pm
i feel privileged to try deli face. this has given me a taste of what the future might hold. if we all get on board and fry that new food, then we might have a time of redressing the damage that we have done to our own 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. but a californian company may have a solution. the impossible burger. aside based meet substitutes that looks and tastes just like the real thing. meanwhile,
3:57 pm
in israel scientists, a farming mediterranean fruit flies as a source of protein using 99 percent left land and omitting just 170th of the greenhouse gases, generated when raising regular life, stock, and in new zealand produce. so making insects more palatable to western tastes by coating them and chocolate time is running out to halt the food industry's environmental destruction. the challenge for us all is wherever possible to eat with a planet in mines and to choose our menus wisely to help prevent the decline of our natural world. ah, bottles in calories with gum on england,
3:58 pm
st. plastic is everywhere. but if clotho is, can be facing bags and bubble gum, wellington bid, what little can be done with this plague polymers? a fly? re imagining cafe on algebra. ah, it's been hot recently in central chile combined with some very drying winds and the result is not been a good result,
3:59 pm
was not much in the sky to see the point of view of range as you'd like. there has been outbreaks of fights. well, wildfires ran the regions that surround concepcion, which is south of the capital. those fires are still burning, and i don't think the weather is going to change to help me at all because it's still quite strong from the south and from the north. it comes in the 2 tents combining and continue that rather dry and unpleasant condition. now elsewhere in south america, well as looking fine. naturally montevideo, subtly wind with rain chows is going to be, i think, a sparky night. you look on the sky, lightening. otherwise, the rain shout off at the heaviest, in places like bolivia, western parts of the amazon, and may be western columbia. in the caribbean, the breeze is steady, the showers are frequent but light. now north america is rather different story altogether at least the united states of america in the northeast corner throughout saturday, dangerous when she was still the warning. now it does blow through in the sun. well
4:00 pm
come are the worst is going to be sat during fest, they have to say with boston particular after recovering from minus twenty's over night, only minus 9 at best. ah, talk to al jazeera, we ask, but should they not be more oversized, perhaps of foundations like yours? we listen when it comes to diversification, we don't do it in order to be getting all the rational energy sources. we meet with global news makers. i'm talk about the store restock. madam on al jazeera ah ah.
