but 1st a somber farewell how the pandemic is stamping out brazilian street culture. musicians stopped playing stage curtains fell. and the lights went out in the world's movie theaters the pandemic has been disastrous for the arts across the world with cinemas closed the global film industry alone is set to lose billions in 2020. brazil is among the 3 countries hardest hit by the pandemic and with barely any commissions around the artists and musicians many no longer have an income more than $830000.00 jobs in brazil's creative industries around the stretch. an important part of life is at risk of disappearing completely.

normally it would be crowded out here this bar used to hold parties but that's over they're all home now in their own cages. and these cages have only served to deepen brazil's social divide music and dance play a key role in society here bringing people together from all walks of life. there are huge differences in brazilian society but the small bars and the beach are the 2 places where those class differences disappeared the lock down has meant that people are keeping more to themselves the intermingling which has always been part of rio has been lost. to their work. the extreme inequality is another reason why the lock down never really worked in rio the city's numerous cultural centers maybe deserted the concert halls bars cinemas and theatres shut but the narrow streets of the old town are full of people who have to go to work. the

pandemic brazilian culture is in crisis mode it's always been very much a grassroots phenomenon but now faces a threat from the very top. believes the real problem is not the coronavirus itself but brazil's presidential year ball scenario since coming to office last year he slashed funding for the arts and made it a political issue it has nothing to do with the brazil that we love the indigenous black brazil with the rich culture that has created so much beauty it's almost like they want to destroy that at all cost and. this is what she says his country is in the midst of a culture war and the virus has robbed him of his voice his ability to respond effectively using his somebody he hopes he can bring his music back to the people of rio soon. just like in the old days. cities that crowded hectic loud. and yet they've long held an almost magical appeal

500 cities worldwide more than a 1000000 residents by 2030 around 7600000000 people are likely to live in urban areas most of the global population but they could be a change in the air a shift towards a slower pace of life with infection rates on the rise in cities rural regions again in a pail. the clay is cold and malleable both mother and daughter are skilled in the art of pottery margarito learned it from her grandmother. she said as long as we live here we belong to the soil we work the earth and she gives us the food we need to survive and this clay also comes from the earth we have roots here is the most. most. it only takes earth and fire to create all the new parts and

dishes lined up here. it's the rainy season and the weather is unpredictable. what if we get heavy rain though all our work will be lost. the family is almost self-sufficient. they grow almost everything they need. or they find it in nature grasshoppers are full of protein. the seasons bring variety and there is seldom much of a surplus. for margarito living in harmony with nature means giving and only taking back a little while there must come we don't need a lot to live we have to respect nature she should only give us what we really need

we shouldn't exploit nature that. the garden offers a little home apothecary there's an herb for stomach aches a plant that reduces fever one wrong and one that really sore eyes. were you needed a bit then drip it into your eyes. while people in the city worry how to survive and make ends meet during the pandemic life here goes on much as normal many in the isolated valleys of southwestern mexico live like mother rita and her family in a close relationship with the land these people are poor their traditional way of life is tough but their independence and lack of close contact with the modern world might be considered a strength in the current situation. gregorio is about to go and visit her sister and so her pottery it's an hour's walk that

doesn't bother her but she's not too happy about leaving her animals alone she has a strong bond with them. i think there has to be a balance between people and animals. it's not about dominating them. we have to respect their lives. your sister is waiting for her dimitri has been thinking a lot about people animals and the environment especially now during the pandemic she's curious about modern life and the wider world. that raised. me do people out there also feel joy when they see animals run and play they play a lot worse can also do a kind of handstand do you ever see that. or when the rules fight or when they play you don't see that either do you. know.

demetrius is shocked to hear how animals live on factory farms where ethnic imagine if people had to live like the animals all crammed together how would you feel the gideon. dimitri i once visited mexico city she recalls all the concrete cars and trash she says city life changes people just see and took a look and everyone rushes about and seem so agitated they don't get any exercise walk anywhere or enjoy the scenery they push a button for everything and ride escalators i don't want them. both of us get us a victory. only meet here on special occasions perhaps once every few months after all hands provide eggs and should not be sacrificed likely and their offspring take time to grow and reach maturity demetrius sees

value in some kinds of progress and says she could use some here but wouldn't a step back to nature be a step forward now. look at that we have to take care of the world around us this is an opportunity to think about things we shouldn't exploiter and use nature so badly. to make clear is also a potter and business woman she and her neighbors work together today their pottery is being picked up to be taken to the cities and sold me dimitrius sister gregorio has arrived now to their workers in demand because it's not mass produced but handmade from a natural material. this is important but we can all learn from their way of life and their way of thinking maybe the world is ready for that now and the need of it . the weather has been kind to margarita

and her family the rain has held off jugs pots bowls all fresh out of the kiln they're generated with splashes of dye made from oak bark. heavy and. traditional crafts a remote location harmony with nature a winning recipe perhaps for getting through the current global crisis. and now it's time for snack this week from the kenyan capital. well on a nairobi street corner near the busy road winnie sells her snacks. on a plate. she makes a kenyan version of to party a kind of bread that originated in india. and. you know

what i'm the flower and so are. brick to recruit. for a few minutes. it's. mixing some of the soul and the work done. of the cup oil for the cup then you'll make some good though. once she's shaped a flat around 30 she puts it on the griddle. occasionally she flips it. while one is cooking and when he rolls out the next one it takes about 5 minutes to

make a party when he makes between 20 and 30 a day. to find one. at breakfast time people like to. the calorie rich to party with a cup of tea or coffee and for lunch with beans and rice for vegetables. we wouldn't pick up but right now i didn't put up with you until one. am on here. and shoes and bags made from leather a status symbols across the world lead the production is an ancient craft it's made

from animal skin and many animals pay with their lives to satiate our design for it but there are alternatives for our global ideas theories we headed to indonesia to the city of banda east of the capital jakarta and there we met a young inventor has found a way to produce leather from mushrooms. here on the outskirts of bandung a city on internees his main island java something is being cultivated that could be of great value. mushrooms. they rarely draw much attention there are many species with many varied properties. some are nourishing others contain medicinal agents here that the raw material for an innovative kind of textile mushroom is appearing rian to become sustainable future leather the curious cruel mycelium of edge of this part of the fungus that can mimicking perfectly like

leather without any björk p.v.c. or any chemical content grace material. comes from a family of mushroom farmers in 2012 he and some colleagues founded a startup for gourmet mushrooms but they quickly changed tack to focus on my sili i'm committed to developing a sustainable and animal friendly fashion industry. compared to animal and or my. hello larry is having a really huge advantage in environmental impact for example we can share less water we don't have to carry while we can move vertical farming so we can save some space and it's also am it's really last carbon emission. they feed their mushrooms with organic waste such as sawdust. company micro tech sources it locally. what's waste for the wood mill is a recyclable treasure here. first the sawdust is cleaned

with steam. then it's mixed with tiny mushroom spores. they consume the sawdust and at the same time on the outside of the sawdust blocks they produce tightly woven my celia which can be harvested within a few days. the process uses a fraction of the water used in standard leather production less than 110th. this has caught the attention of lunda he makes and sells shoes many of course are made of leather but these days he's keen to find alternatives. for leather industries one of the biggest contributor for carbon emission and we see that as as long as we keep selling. and as the cells grow we keep damaging the environment and it came materialization that we need to find the so sustainable solution. at 1st he

balked at the notion of mushroom lever but his team have now learned how to work with it. my syrian fabric is breathable flexible and robust it can last for years. and it's an eco friendly sustainable product companies around the world are discovering its advantages. mycelium shoes still have a lie. long way to go they're not yet widely available they're not yet a mass market product that has higher costs because due to this meeting. we still produce a limited quantity it's a learning curve but as an innovation company we need to and i think the future will be very bright for us. to grow and his team agree they're busy ramping up production they already have orders for as far ahead as 2027.

so currently we are producing 2000 square feet of a matter per year over the man is really huge so we need to double down our capacity in order to keep up with the met. the company is growing it used to have just 5 employees now it has 30. it monitors carefully the quality of its output even testing samples to destruction. it also breeds its own mushrooms and works on optimizing them for the times could hand. it get some outside funding for its pioneering research that helps sustain the startup. will go the extra mile with his mushroom leather shoes it's a great idea whose time has come. jam packed terrified without food and water long distance transport can be tool shed

for animals and often they're being taken to the slaughterhouse or to fatten breeders far from the farms they were raised on. in the. around 3800000 animals are transported every day mainly pigs. and sheep a total of $1400000000.00. taken far beyond the borders of the east. covering thousands of kilometers over many days with barely a break in. animal rights activists have long demanded an end to life transports now some farmers in switzerland have got one step closer to achieving balance. at the most whole famine lens book my hands on tiger and lucas heights love breed mother callous for raising beef cattle. the mother cows produce larry and manure for gannett done production their offspring are taken off to be slaughtered for

meat when they're 18 months old to transport puts the animals under enormous stress and is unpleasant for the pharmacist too but that's about to change. the school here. slaughtering the young and i mean is this something we accepted as part of the job. the way of happiness can sometimes be disturbing that we use our own trailer to get them to the slaughter house. so both the environment as soon as they're in the truck in the doors close and they realise i can't get out i can't get back to the others that's when the stress sets and they start acting nervously they move they want to jump out can be quite a challenge being clawed assistance to. live transports and misery for the animals it can take a whole day to collect cattle from the regions more remote areas and get them all to the slaughterhouse an increasing number of farmers don't want to put their

animals through that torture any longer they want to slaughter them on the phone to switzerland recently legalize the procedure. of famine neil smell a piny of the process for years now he's had a special permit to shoot his animals in the fields he needs a raised platform to shoot from and a hunting license the cow falls to the ground unconscious stress free. research has shown that if the target animal was not stressed before hand the rest of the herd don't even notice what happened the stunt count dies soon afterwards when it's bled out. for money on sunday eka and look at their cows to die with a minimum of stress in the future this is $1.00 of $120.00 swiss farms interested in slaughtering their animals in the field or farm yard.

switzerland legalized and regulated both methods in july it's unique in all of europe and applies to all farm animals not just cows. to get a better idea of the costs time and effort involved money on and look has commissioned a study by xerox e.t.h. technical university it showed them that animals which are taken by truck to be slaughtered have 6 times more hydrocortisone in their blood than those killed on their home ground. a clear sign of stress which also has an effect on me to quality . also. and i took advice from agronomist early committee of switzerland's f.i.b. l. research institute. they've decided to use a strap. he explains how the cow would be locked inside ready to be stunned but you know usually if the cow will go along willingly to be fixed in position

a budget then stuns it with a bald can. hold. so what will the customers think you're gammick meat and other most whole farm products can be purchased at the market or in the farms and shop. careful now is the city councilmen. i expect consumers to become more sensitive and make consumption to decline. but the direct vendors will increase their market share because they can plausibly show let them eat comes from ethically reared animals often convince those. to sleep in harms. the e.t.h. studies spoke with $200.00 more school farm customers almost all of whom said they would welcome farm yard slaughtering and would pay more for the meat. they've already found a butcher willing to do farm yard slaughtering beef from cows that were born and

die on the same farm is an expensive nice product but only a few years ago that was true of all organic products and now they've become mainstream. that's all from us the global 3000 this week don't forget to send us your feedback we love hearing from you you can reach us at global 3000 after w dot com we're back next week see you then take cat. food.
