4:34 am
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 beard and finland were one restaurant is championing a hyper local circular economy. to create a revolutionary approach to dining, i must look for a new entity. why scientists, i'll combating jellyfish blooms by taking them out to proceed on to our play. and developed countries like finland is hard to imagine that we are in the thick of a global food crisis. these helsinki shelves, 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 beleaguered planet reindeer spring roll. global foot system is incredibly wasteful. we use huge
4:35 am
amounts of energy, water, and land to grow food and fly it thousands of miles around the world. we for much of it to remain on it. it's incredibly inefficient and balanced operation. audible post. i don't know if my pronunciation is quite right and what type of horrible course. ok. 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 mentioned 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. a means in total over a 3rd in the food produce, wade is wasted, just thrown away from us as something shocking to me. a growing movement of pioneers are taking steps to fix this global problem. this is
4:36 am
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 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 ultima is and why, why you set it up? it's all started when me and my colleague tom, me. we were taking the bins out and we were thinking like, how can i mean we make this much waste? how could we do with the 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 drawing ingredients right here in the restaurant, i've seen a farm before, but never in
4:37 am
a restaurant. have to say this is great. the main thing about the system it's a hydroponic water circulates from up here. the plant takes always the water, all it 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 for the service of every day . there is minimum waste or new taste it. it's very sweet. and from the seed 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 even formed livestock on site, edible carbon neutral crickets. hello and the lights, yes. you know,
4:38 am
are the either case in the light will to my server over 1000 crickets each week in their 5 star dishes with cricket larvae growing in to fully grown adults within 2 months. this is a bigger home. oh hello. yes, crickets. so can you give us a sense of how this little crate is 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 base a lives where they will test mostly what basil now and that where we don't have to throw anything away cuz they eat almost anything henry's mission is fundamentally about changing our attitude to the food we eat and preparing us for a future where meets like beef may not be so readily available. 100 gram off her crickets. a 22 grams of pure protein. take
4:39 am
99 percent less water and growing a beef. ah, so their carbon footprint is it's like nothing. henry is also trialing a protein rich al gain. the ideas are 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 now. oh, interesting about nasa, the space agency. yeah. wireless sky. it's a potato. some space st. pertains. yeah, it's called air upon it. so it grove 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. right. but this where you don't really need. ah, and he saw the benefits of all businesses that 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
4:40 am
a marketing stuff. we don't have to be millionaires. we, we just need to, 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 then i'm on board and i'm going to seen food 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 over away, but let's take the squatters griffith farm and on scale is exactly no. all right. do you need a license for the is there breaks here at robbie's farm actor turned farmer robert jordan also has a vertical farm. but this one is on another level. oh man, oh, who lose a jacket to different season inside? isn't it?
4:41 am
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 hope 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 pot. so we have no plastics inside the, the growth area anymore. everything is fi. degradable. 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 leaves sunday's pete at this point around the world is not that clever. it should always be produced locally and consumed world locally. well, i love that rather than taking the food to the plate,
4:42 am
you're taking a farm to, to the, to the close today at the until yeah, yeah. 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 and used on the farm that site there. reconceptualize the concept, the waste of my way back to ultima. henry's asked me to pick up some supplies for tonight's dentist 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 finnish people are crazy about mushrooms and they drink a lot of coffee in 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. christmas team collect, use coffee, groans from businesses across helsinki. the grounds provide all the nutrients,
4:43 am
mushrooms need to explode into light. oh, my fall or that i, that is amazing. and you can just grab the whole cluster and, and twist it until it comes off. like there you go. that financing it. we have um the consumer product are we call it the hell. see 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 which 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. chris's team of sold $3000.00 of their kits and even run workshops to teach people how to grow fantastic
4:44 am
funding. all right, so we've done a harvesting. we've got our mushrooms back the restaurant going to cook them up. so what's the hand ready to go? i ready to poop. tom, you can take the friggin. oh my god, what have you done? got the salad, greens, and herbs which are grown over there. yeah. we got the crickets which grown up there. and the mushrooms, which about half hour away. yeah. i'm sorry for the local. it's about as low closing. i can get, you know, i mean i'm gonna fish out one of these little guys who. yeah. i can case the prickly little legs. therefore i tell you what, i think it's super sophistic. it's a really nice protein. great. yeah, yeah,
4:45 am
really. thank you very much here so much larry, 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 could start to see a grow glass piece within that is heat in the world. and reducing that by mental 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 of pebbles, sick. that planet earth has faced least a 3rd of the world's food is currently being wasted. we're talking about ugly fruit
4:46 am
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 gonna 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 way with images. 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 miller. ah,
4:47 am
with over 7500 kilometers of coast time, italy has relied on the bounty of the sea for thousands of years. ah, but hidden beneath these as your waters, an environmental catastrophe may be underway. i'm a silly for renewal, and i finish f and food right for nearly 30 years. italian cuisine is one of my passions to when i heard it's these fishing waters were under threat. i just had to investigate. i'm here in 7 leslie were italians are facing a rather stinging problem. jellyfish numbers are up by 400 percent in the last 13 years loan with a 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 ketchup 1st. so
4:48 am
i've met with marine biologist, doctor stephanie frayjana, who is researching the rise and jellyfish numbers. there is a scientific evidence that there are some increase. there is particularly in causal arial, subject to anthropogenic impact. 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 for patty of manmade factors, artificial waterways. so his 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 some of the temperatures in the mer to rising by 1.15 degrees c in the last 3 decades. how bad is the problem? stephanie ecological impacts of jellyfish is sir equivalent to 2 lions from the
4:49 am
savannah. they are top per 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 would affect her, particularly human activities, fly her swimming on the along the calls or fishery. and even aqua cultural plants may be affected because in some cases, the venomous jellyfish can keep a 100 thousands of fish. in a few days, these blooms are hissing, local fishing industries hard. it is estimated that in the north adriatic they cost the italian fishing fleet, $8500000.00 euros a year. second of sept. b, north to the aquarium of january to discover how the creek just unique reproductive process is really compounding the problem. the baby family villain,
4:50 am
maybe the only fish curator sophia lever on nor is breeding thousands of jellyfish. this little she doesn't know about these potent pulsing creatures. why are the jellyfish so efficient reproducing? they are doing that, that the really, the a huge, a quantity of sperm and egg they fertilize in this. therefore, 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. the release of division of a very big number of jellyfish live in the rural martha i fancy in their fear. deliveries are so prolific at breeding to single adult can lay up to $45000.00 eggs a day. these ancient invertebrates have existed since before the dinosaurs and they inhabit every ocean on earth. jellyfish swarms of decimated irish salmon fisheries,
4:51 am
and hit the tourist 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 dr. 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 mix me a little nervous. are they all safe to eat? no, no. we're with the star, the. it just feels this some because it just be, is this the good ave of different boxes compound? the each jellyfish you will measure? yes, we measure and the weight of that that the re browser 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 young man and a fish that are really say,
4:52 am
dr. antoinette less 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. what are the other challenges that you face in the europe for a jellyfish is considered in nice and they not andra. this could be change on the eve, or we're starting demos, ray, the, that they are her power, fuller, or i saw of food. them. could be important for a look. a fisherman la loca la restaurants, the for loca la economy am. if jelly fish me goes mainstream, here, it could help re balance marine ecosystems and rate it had in waters of this gelatinous men and with 80 percent protein and just 5 percent fat. it could
4:53 am
also become highly prized on energy to me. a farming livestock is responsible for up to 14.5 percent of greenhouse gas emissions. so eating jelly fish as a substitute could help reduce the very global warming that causes that loops 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 jellies, collaborating, share fab yano, viva. o please. can we cook with the database? okay. well now carmella daniel adela? yeah, yes. hello. this is 2 different spaces of jellyfish. this brow
4:54 am
is buyer for 2 in a row. oh, nice about is only cold. treat the most tender jelly patient fab yano aims to cook it slowly, but 1st we wash it in an ice bar, raising head to ensure it doesn't lose the taste of the see her piano avoids or seasoning or folds, nor pepper only oil. okay, so we're cooking the soviet that is in the water. why did you decide to work with go jelly? are you all the plugin all or? yeah. like i said lag lou, exactly in oh yes. when the jellyfish comes out of the so v, it's finished off in the oven, the piano her has the vision for the future. i'm for me that is truly, truly exciting. fusing traditional italian cooking with striking modern ingredients for our piano clans to serve the jellyfish with spears of campari, jin,
4:55 am
and parsley on a bed of italian leaves. we have it is, it looks like a duel is time for me to taste for pianos creation and the go. jenny team has joined us to see the results for themselves. get truly magnificent. i love it. i don't like it. lovely. i love it. to let's see that it really, a fabulous jellyfish is delicious with a very light sea food taste and a texture seminar to calamari. but a jellyfish are going to make it on to dinner plates across the world. the public will have to fall in love with it. would have to try it is try. so what the teams in the school do, you can find the some of the things that people are looking now saw no far too low calories and also a good pace. the saw you had all being greedy and supported before to be
4:56 am
appreciated by the cast. ah, 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 this new booth than 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 california company may have a solution. the impossible burger. a soil based meat substitute that looks and tastes just like the real thing. meanwhile,
4:57 am
in israel scientists, the 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 livestock and in use produces are making insects more palatable to western tastes. by coating them and chocolates. time is running out to halt the food industry's environmental destruction. the challenge for us, oh 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 withers,
4:58 am
4:59 am
a thing of forgotten memory. tempt you to so much different, so much higher. the real cold air is a long way north encounter when he pegs minus 7 is not extraordinary. for the central part of canada, there is still snow falling, but it's just gentle. stay for trotter, maybe or 2 or more likely, the star will be melting on the ground, and he stills sitting freeze up in boston, and new york with that subtly breeze. most the central states are looking fine. there is winter in the west. once again, rain coming down the california coast and easily tends to snow in land, and that's true in the rockies to where that snow is maintained. in fact, the code it uses a bit more. so in the midwest, this is nothing extraordinary. now, it's just, it's extraordinary. there in the caribbean, the steady trade winds mean frequent with fatty light chassis, the most part, some heavy stuff, i think round the north bahamas, at least to start sunday. in south america, there are showers, extending all the way from fairly heavy staff in peru in bolivia, down towards the southeast. brazil. reo looks relatively dry. south of that,
5:00 am
the problem is not so much been rain as the heat is produced so far as far as sas is santiago and given is no real changed out of the wind or the rain. there's a light continue. ah, there is no channel that covers world views like we do. the scale of this camp is like nothing you've ever seen access to health care. what we want to know is how do these things affect people. we revisit please state even when they're no international headlines, al jazeera, really invest in that. and that's a privilege. as a journalist, ah, us fighter jet, shoot down a suspected chinese surveillance balloon that's been drifting across american asked
