produce can be supported very quickly and with it all the resources needed to grow it how can we change this that's what we'll dig deeper to enter to hello welcome this is eco india and i'm subtle but i call. it's not a rare sight that a bounty of harvesting crop vaults because it remains unsolved and is not stored properly this often sets off a vicious cycle of food scarcity and high prices are simply in a way at the start of this chain of events could break this cycle and that's exactly what company in the state of doing let's take a closer look. at. a farmer in kharkiv usually harvest his leafy vegetables through the night by 6 in the morning they need to be ready to hit the markets on a good day he misses his entire produce but that.

when we are unable to sell the produce we have to bring it back home and the next day we can take it back because no one buys it that is lost are. the majority of small farmers in india are forced to through a very some of their crops because they don't have any means to cool them more than 30 percent of the country's agricultural produce goes to waste every year. that amounts to a loss of over 11000000000 euros. so what he. wants to remedy the problem last year the social entrepreneur started working with local farmers like the women farmers federation in particular. the overarching issue that we found on our own with our experiences supply chain

especially in horticulture force one model farm was their tendency to just sell of the produce the same day that they harvest in some cases they are going to harvest produce that was ripe and ready in the feed only because they were not getting any price for that. so one of the key elements was we. had to farm get. neeraj moratti founded his own company good crop with the help of the women farmers federation he installed a cold storage in concord in mid september 1900 and began educating the farmers on how to use a lot of heart. after studying the cultivation and harvesting patterns of the region it was decided how much cold storage to villages required now it can refrigerated up to $4000.00 kilos of produce at a time the farmers have been able to increase their income by around 30 percent.

before they were kind of selling it by the wayside the roadside and all of that now they were going to get to collect a good though on a day center go to the market and next day or after a couple of days when they see that prices are getting those prices. on a short duration that don't mean the system for the feedback has been really good. you know is a tribal village in the heart of district of. home to a few 1000 people most are small holders like 65 percent of the families in india. sorry leben has been working the land for 30 years she's a strong supporter of the new cold storage facility. that all of us have to back the crops carefully in large baskets and load them onto a truck. now because of the course storage facility we can keep our produce for

long america we don't necessarily have to take it to the market every day and because. we've definitely benefited from this. oh you know our produce used to go bad. but now we can easily keep it in here for 2 days. this has made a huge difference. on days when the going rate at the market is low we can store it in here and sell a produce when the reed has big. then. he spends his in family home on a. roof solar panels supplied a facility with free like the city a good crop owns it and the farmers paid rent to the firm gets a return after 2 years. the farmers learn how to regulate the temperature of the storage.

different produce different kinds of stories temperature and if they want to store it for longer duration than they need to adhere to that particular temperature and humidity range that any historical and. based interface allows them to do the storage and give the sorting for like 34 days there's an average temperature which is good for all kinds of produce being stored the way that has been. the form now has totally an operational record stores in india the company charges farmers a maximum of one euro cent per day to refereed to produce the exact amount depends on how frequently do you use the facility and how much just. 45 families have used the facility so far. everyone has benefited and neighboring village also wants a facility like this after looking at how much it has had often a.v.

how. much like a good crop aims to install 200 units nation by over the next 5 years but the startup also hopes to maximise the smallholders profits in other ways. found a new bridge martin is developing market analytics offered to predict short term fluctuations in crop prices to help these women get the best possible price for the fruits of their labor. there's so much potential for innovation in the agricultural sector especially when the arable land we have access to is diminishing every day over farming is gaining more and more traction because of this what it often can't produce to ski because of a lack of space or inadequate access to light a lighting company in the netherlands is experimenting to replace sunlight with l.e.d. lights in indoor greenhouses let's see how. the earth is home to some 7600000000

people the majority live in cities green spaces are shrinking. how viable an option is in farming for example green houses lit by. buildings without sunlight. any daylight bulbs provide illumination by day and night and the plants compete harvested at any time of the here. becoming standard lighting solutions in greenhouses they have long been undergoing testing here in the netherlands in the laboratory of a signified its europe's biggest lighting manufacturer and a spinoff of dutch technology giant philips so far the company has equipped around a 1000 greenhouses with systems here for callers inside so it's red it's blue it's why then it's far out and far it is typically pretty are known to us because it's outside of our licensed ever bigger. indoor farming is

a market with huge potential. to guarantee predictable and controllable harvests. so what you see over here is a dynamic light fixture that can change in color and by changing the color during the trial or just before the end of just before harvesting we can for example influence the bricks value of. the sweetness of the strawberry but also make it a little bit more hardy or let's say show that it's better to transport. the company calculates the particular light fixture its customers need and savings can be achieved by just using red and blue light which produces the magenta color here . the mix depends on the plants and the ambient light greenhouses in siberia for example have less sunlight than those in spain. market is growing super

fast and if you look at the different reports that are out in the market you see a real trend that are becoming more interesting also it's not because they don't make money that companies like are grown fast in russia would by $25.00 factors and $25.00 factors it's around 400 kilometers of the lights and that was the biggest project we did to date. another customer that has bought the lighting systems is the dutch tomato farm is in pater's its greenhouses measure 16 hecht has an area amounting to something like 20 soccer pitches. the crops are aluminum to buy magenta any delight from below and from above by high intensity high pressure sodium or h.p.'s lamps the company has invested millions the tomato vines grow to an amazing height of 6 meters the growers need lifts to reach the tops using the l.e.d. lights the company can achieve larger and more constant harvests than without the

lighting. we have the positioning of the in the middle of the crop. research. the idea must be about 80 centimeters to one metre. below the top of the plant because the top of the plant is affected by the h.p.'s lightning and daylight and one metre below the effect of the daylight. is gone. tomatoes are perishable they can be easily transported in container ships from faraway countries . but they can be easily grown in greenhouses. thanks to the l.e.d. lights they can harvest more 20 tons per week even in the middle of winter.

very sweet. and what's important is that the taste. stays in your mouth for a longer time so there's not only the base is gone immediately. you get a certain bite of the tomato. of course lighting the plants all year round uses up lots of energy as does the heating via the pipes that run between the plants on the floor to generator the company maintains a gas fired power plant and that highlights a major disadvantage of this kind of farming the energy cost of producing artificial sunlight outdoor farmers at the sun for free. we often notice that on the one hand there is an abundance of food thanks to the many innovations in the agricultural sector but on the other hand medians of people

go to bed hungry every night i recall heat of this week has been working towards channeling excess food in the city of mumbai those who need it the most. in a country like india with a population of more than 1000000000 almost 200000000 people go hungry every day. again such stark numbers with feeding every hungry stomach can go a long way a retired police officer has been doing his bit to help feed as many people as he can in the city of mumbai a mission is to cover a 1000000 people a year that is a lack of money if they're out of 200000000 between going without food aid get leave to our revolution the high dine the garment and other agencies to help people

to downsize all portions. modernize where lho was involved in the project run by melody mello reich she often explains to chefs how wasting food is bad for the climate. when you have full bellies and they end up in landfills they became naturally and the produce more potent greenhouse gas in the form. which is more than 20 times stronger than carbon dioxide in trapping heat in our atmosphere and. the hotel whereas way low works even offers its guests tours of its own kitchen garden serves as i bring forward and part of beef behind you we have here phase as well as cooking classes. as willow teaches guests ways to avoid generating waste when they cook at home. and. he also recommends using parts of plants that are

a pile of garbage. she says bolting stench is something you never get used to. conventional patterns of food production are changing rapidly due to climate change often intriguing these farmers in alby are used only in harsh winters and if we started early found it impossible to grow certain kinds of fruit like grapes for example global warming has meant grapes can now in fact right but in a cold country like norbit. telemark county in southern norway the winter cold set seen as early as october november yet because of global warming it's now possible to grow grapes here not far from kraft is lack of cost and one of the northernmost opinions on earth. here have been all day you should involve back 10 years and have

a 6th grade we have got warmer were in the summer we still have the cold winters it's a right. to produce grapes fruits also in this area. the soil is quite fair time in which in minerals the vent that chose the great frightens for their resistance to the winter cold they come from russia north america and germany like the salaries for writing. it's great that the resistor called really good. it needs so good no reach and some are to be specially very good but it also is a grave that this very fruit there. it was so were good and we used to make the white one we have on with the for. lack of cost also produces rose

a wine. bar that you should involve back himself enjoys a glass with his wife lily and. the norwegian are where the snow is stick so. to get to get know which know why and that's something very very special. the rosé even wanted gold medal from the norwegian so many association in 2018 telemark skiing is used for racing were developed here in tel amount county meeting century visitors to lead a class of in yonks can enjoy a good norwegian wine and even spend the night inside a refurbished wine barrel. the norwegian guests are acquainted with the wines and wine growing practices of other countries from travels abroad and little comparison . and it left. good taste. gently it's lighter and not so

red. as summer used to. tell him our county already has a long history of growing other kinds of fruit the region's apples are especially tasty. so various fruit wines are also a part of the vineyards repertoire apple wine for example. norway has only about half a dozen commercial wine growers but this could change as the been a sea bright prospects for their future. solutions for a cleaner greener planet our signposts after all what action we take after seeing

the sign forced is entirely in our hands inspired you to move forward in your sustainability journey until next week from our entire team in india and germany thank you very much for watching.

draw and cook foods to avoid cross contamination. cook 3rd to kill microorganisms. keep food safe temperatures. to prevent bacterial growth. use safe water and safer all materials to avoid content. producers are the ones primarily responsible for the safety of the food. but you can protect yourself and your family from diseases and overall by plying the 5 keys to see food use them you also have a role to play. this
