of a world war 2 submarine in a 5 day cleanup operation greek and dutch volunteers descended to 52 meters between the islands of careful lonia and they can toss to work on the h. and s. pursues while the british submarine sank off catalonia in 1901 after hitting a mine the operations organizers say millions of animals die after becoming ensnared in nylon nets each year the nets will be recycled and used to produce socks when more and carpets. and it does if we i wish you a wonderful weekend and hope to see. a meal and i'm good goalkeeper 2nd season on the fence. the planet on the brink of disaster we did long interviews with experts about one question how to change.

the only difference. is already the most consumed meat in the world and field by the global demand for inexpensive meat the industry continues to grow in the united states the waste produced by industrial pick farms is a major problem so we agree with how we as we open the doors in all the previous president all who china is the world's biggest pork producer as chinese consumers become more affluent and demand continues to grow there's just not any end to french ears anymore on the planet if the chinese try to like americans what will happen amazon rain forest. to feed the pigs as cheaply as possible saw is being grown on a massive scale especially in brazil. of

we make the food that goes on the global population's table. so i cultivation is helping to drive the deforestation of the amazon grown as a monoculture saw is impacting the whole world. china's population has now topped 1400000000 rising affluence has led to changes in people's diets in the past rice vegetables and noodles dominated while meat was rat but today pork has become increasingly popular. china consumes more than $50000000.00 tons of pork per year that's more than half of the wilds production.

there on this is the beginning of the slaughterhouse chain we saw her about $600.00 pix per hour the equipment is imported from a dutch company. what this factory was built in the 1950 s. and in 1908 i mean a shift to a large scale production. ringback 'd the impact of china's pulque boom is being felt around the world chinese companies are snapping up huge industrial pig farms like one in the u.s. state of north carolina. and more were owned by a traditional family farmers ration about 2000000 about 22000 of them they all got replaced by this factory system and initially she revealed foods and murphy were the owners of that there were american corporations but now they've been bought out

by a group called adobe age group the old shumway corporation out of china it's a multinational corporation headquartered in china you know very well so you know they made i understand their profits for the 1st quarter of this year just their net profit 1st quarter this year was $200000000.00 and you look at almost cesspools when you say to yourself they've got the money to fix this what's what's all new everything up. well what's old. everything up and the fact that they don't want to spend their money to fix a problem they'd rather externalized the cost of their way to treatment on people north carolina. we're going to do this will fill my rule true soon as we go through one country we don't pick up everything we see all on the wire. and then if we spot some illegal discharges i will do some special filming on that.

massive fungus with huge manila goons extending as far as the eye can see. as a result of these industrial scale farms many local residents feel under siege. not

anti farmer or inside businesses going to carolina we're just. about doing it correctly and not polluting the citizens of north carolina's waterways concentrating on the farms are in the world rural communities where the community to have a voice to put up a fight to restrict these facilities for coming in here. in the. they come in here they preach about having jobs in. the community but even then jobs are. what a community better would want for working in a slaughterhouse or working on. a farm is not easy word and it's. very rarely seen the owners of these facilities living outside. l.c. herring lives near one of these farms called k. follows concentrated animal feeding operations. display feels right there so

me open up the windows on the side this is the bathroom window room next door was my brother has been roaming it went in this way to the kitchen window so we don't know who these men who sent this in this way feel if your phones are back here. to to suffer moment is half way back you straight that you can't see them from here. but if you see them from the mail route. when it's peaceful raining and musician. so that means real inhaling the stuff when everything is in life you know how will a studio in the antibiotics the amount you know everything this in. you know in in with the in look cool is being released into our atmosphere so we can open our way as we don't open the doors you know we pretty much just a prison i won't home and when you do try to go to his frame you have to hold your

breath because you took a breath away to make out a storm watering you make you stop coughing get the finicky one thrown up he makes you angry you know you get to chris because no one is listening and it's just doesn't seem to me how someone could believe they have a right to the animal a stone over him in smithfield foods the largest pool producer in the us is now owned by a chinese company. during the ninety's we saw 90 percent of all our hog farms disappear in the united states the cash market dwindled from 100 percent of the market to less than 5 percent of the market the majority of the animals now are raised under contracts and so you saw this traditional profitable industry for raising hogs get wiped out and replace with this new way of raising animals that was industrialize and centrally

controlled it was really a corporate takeover and it happened in a very short period of time. most hog production today in the united states is produced in this industrial model it's called vertical integration. it's. the way it works is that a company will own the nursery where the hollands were born it will own the feed mill that produces the feed for the hawgs it owns the trucking lines the transport the hogs and even on to the slaughterhouse where the pigs are killed and turn into a variety of products. this was a business that used to be a pillar. of rural america and then it got taken over by smithfield and you know this is a company that had spent decades devouring independent firms in the united states and acquiring the kind of market share that never should have been allowed to fall

under the umbrella of the one firm it is not a good idea to allow one firm to control 30 percent of the entire market in the pork industry or food industry once that happened though it became a very attractive target for any kind of overseas company that could afford to buy it just a huge sector of the productive capacity in rural america i mean we're talking about thousands of large scale farms there. there's a lot of money being made raising pigs in the united states. the chicago mercantile exchange is one of the biggest in the world agricultural commodities are also traded here. down here this is this is now the financial room here we're standing in so over here we have a bond option trading we have to balance here or a cultural sector has been diminished over here which we still do the options and soybeans we are in corn we also do livestock china for years and years it's been

trying to eat like a westerner which we consume about $3400.00 calories per day china is now approaching 2900 calories so they really caught up with where we are in korea good to china has the largest hog courtenay in the world accounting for about 47 percent of all pork productions but again when we look at meat consumption or caloric consumption going forward it's going to happen in countries like bangladesh nigeria pakistan india these are the going to be the big drivers of calories over the next 10 to 20 years heretofore they don't have the g.d.p. rates to expand their meat consumption marsch why china didn't become a big meat consumer until the 20012002 period when its g.d.p. levels started to really dramatically. china's hunger for pool cues driving chinese companies to scour the world in search of new production facilities and expertise 'd. i think having us park market is very important and that's another reason

why. now. why they love to acquire smithfield. america's largest port producer one that i think they wanted access to supply but you know from what i've heard from smithfield executives that they wanted to learn. the american pork operations work how we were able to produce. so much pork and so very little land and that means that this american industrialized style of producing pork is being exported to china. when it comes to industrial meat production china has caught up with the west. it's mechanized and operates on a mass scale. there

is here $2.00 in 1961 this was a small slaughter house for chickens and other animals beginning in 1902 the government encouraged facilities like this to become more efficient. they allowed us to grow in acquire new machinery and in order to adopt a more industrial approach from 2003 to 2006 we experienced in here new a growth rate of around 30 percent so really a myth or. when you are dealing with so many and was such a small space animals help those compromised antibiotics become used routinely. both for illness prevention and to increase weight gain in animals. in general if you have a few pigs on

a farm. their waste is an asset it's something you can spread on your fields it's a fantastic fertilizer you have a complete nutrients like 0. but when you have 10000 or 20000 hogs in a small facility their waste is a huge liability. $160.00 there was less than $10000000000.00 animals killed per year. today there's over 70000000000 and. the trajectory of meta fiction continues there will be $120000000000.00 killed for food by 2050. industrialized our corporations affectively command about a 3rd of the world's arable that includes the majority of the world's course grain production the biggest course grain maize and huge source of oil so it's principally so even in the world you know and so there are these huge flows of grain and oil seed monocultures through what i call islands of concentrated.

solely cultivation is having a massive impact on industrial farming. china's hunger for meat is causing more and more slowly to be planted for use as animal feed. china as a country consumes twice as much meat as the united states but each person is only consuming half as much as americans so more the chain is able to fully emulate the american diet it's hard to say where that meat would come from already china is increasing its imports of pork it's increasing its imports of soybeans that are fed to livestock whether it's the pork the chicken before that or the farm fish their corporate a lot more soybean in their diet so the chinese government well.
