the receiver we want to remind you this is you tonight i mean you mean you i mean to me you start into the news media everyone needs you and your losing face and how many are mistakes. in the war. the pandemic has inadvertently brought families closer together especially at the dinner table the lockdown has also dropped to the fold on the need to rely on locally available produce and food obviously you can get a fundamental shift in not relationship with food that's what we talk about to me hello welcome to eco india. coming to you from the streets of removed by for the

last few months my family has been experimenting with cooking with my grandmother's recipe largely because a lot of the ingredients have been very easily accessible to us that means we're very little noodles and a lot of coconut garden and rice and not just we met in bangor who before that is encouraging his community to tell unique project don't do the local and seasonal fruit. of. a typical traditional indian meat rice parade so with a variety of side dishes each made up of a number of ingredients. but india has been used so too has the rates people eat meals have become foster easier and much less diverse with many ingredients even being flown from what i wonder what a study found that around a 3rd of what it means eat comes. from abroad.

gendron is a campaigner for the revival of traditional food a mother of 2 she set up a garden the for old in the towers she grows through and vegetables. from limes injured easter tomatoes and ginger much of it's native to india it fulfills almost all her needs. it's a cycle in the past from my kitchen goes to the tardis and to most come to the kitchen. to gender and it's not just want to be able to feed herself and her family she grows mostly indigenous seeds in an attempt to preserve and works with others who are trying to do the same so what people do is the least. it's shared. you don't get to you don't get to see them in the market at all you go on as they need to see. their family. the force behind the movement to save

indigenous foodstuffs is artist and god and so. he has founded a revival project called sargent poorer countries it encourages people to grow locally and seasonal foods that have slowly disappeared from their lives actually the less it is didn't change but they know getting began but in this so people when they're made in the big season they would add $15.00 to $20.00 kind of greens in one country now it has come to 2 or 3 types which most of them are buying from the shops and the shops are selling what farmers are growing and farmers are growing what seeds are people are selling good mom runs a community garden and outskirts of bungalows in the village of. holly it is filled with interesting crops that are hard to look at this is squashed ripe fruit used as a vegetable and cooking as a bottle of good we have to break open the spa. the treasure is inside. citizeness eats. so you see it can be at least 10

people is a high limit i think. it can be i don't like to 60 kilos it can feed like 23 families. as foods with a better taste and flip. top to produce more nutritious fruit and vegetables many edible plants grew around the village but will litters have lost the skills to harvest them. that the current generation doesn't know what is and is not a person they can go in for us and we want to give the mission to go into the landscape is not clean anymore you see they are straight out of construction moving around and things like that so that is the reason actually i want to revive them. and it is not just learning to forage in past months at least 15 rural families have been inspired by the project they have started their own kitchen gardens to meet around 50 per cent of their daily needs. for good gendron growing their own food is something she enjoys doing but with that income are in

this village she can see how the garden project can be important in the larger scheme of things. you know a fact that the really just the farmers don't grow their own food it's more for the market so they are you know and he was taken to he had taken to this project to make them grow they don't forget and so it was i was more than happy to we. all do it might not be so important to our livelihood gentry's found another sense of purpose to her garden. it has changed me as a person. since i'm also working. for a time so i have this kitchen garden has helped me is a main distress. it has helped me to unwind and then off the day no matter how busy the day has me so i don't know the day a few minutes going and sitting in the garden just looking at the. and everything

has made a lot of change to my mind and body she hopes through the project more people are able to eat healthier and learn to respect not traditional systems of food again. now india is an agrarian country but the to be a farmer and practice agriculture for a living has been steadily decreasing for the last many many of the 100000000 migrant workers who move from their religious to find work in indian cities used to be fobbed was the pandemic has thrown life out of balance so many of them are now thinking of giving farming another. renderer singer is doing well driving a tractor but much of the rest is new to him all of a sudden this spring he became an organic farmer working on his father's farm and roger stone is building a greenhouse. this pond is to collect rainwater the rains begin in

july in this desert landscape securing a supply of water is crucial and he has so far invested 7000 euros in his new career. because i mean the have almost one and a half hectares of land on which i have built a poly house and dug a pond all the work of the plastic sheeting to line the pond is yet to be completed i'm farming the remaining land open to get bigger. he is now back in his home village of. after more than 4 years in the big city there he was a textiles merchant now it seems like another life. he ran a shop in surat with his brother selling fabric. then from one day to the next their livelihood was gone. it was a story true for millions of migrant workers across india.

are all of a sudden the coronavirus spread it ruined our business we ended up with nothing with the look down no movement was allowed no public transport but somehow with great difficulty we managed to get back to our village. his parents were happy to have them back home they are pleased that no render wants to stay and they are keen to support him as much as they can. i'm retiring in 2 months time i'm giving my entire fortune to my son he should prosper here in his native land economical mine and i was sad when he left to work in the city. the son has applied to the government for a farming subsidy but it could be months until it's approved and paid out other farmers are offering useful advice. about how it plans to grow fruit and vegetables here you came out i'm child or he is a key source of useful advice he has already helped 300 other farmers to build

greenhouses and adopt organic farming methods. instead of pesticides he recommends plastic sheeting to kill weeds and other unwelcome guests. yet this sheep was fixed here a month and a half ago for soil solarization to control we needs soil borne pathogens and pests by covering the moist soil. choudhry advises colleagues for free for many poor farmers he is the only source of information about new farming methods he also teaches the basics. but other thing is to get well versed in crop and plant diseases and new farmers need to stay abreast of the markets so their crops can command good prices but at that 1 . $400.00 greenhouses have already gone up around the village chowdhury also explains how farming can flourish when you take

a circular closed loop or holistic approach. the ponds not only supply water they are also fish farms and thus provide another source of income drip irrigation is efficient and doesn't use much water the technology was developed in israel where it is widely used. any needed and they saying this many israel in my village has given me confidence to turn to farming i am now assured that agriculture is a very lucrative business and organic farming is most profitable. he is enthusiastic about his prospects as an organic farmer his brother however plans to go back to the big city. looks wanted then i have decided not to return to sooraj because i will earn more here me i'm sure it will be twice the amount i used to earn from all over the when i. for no read nursing by how much the covert 19 crisis has opened up new opportunities if all

goes well his new career will benefit not only his family but also the environment . there was a time when chickens were only seen becky and scratching in the countryside so bounded by wast open spaces that's no longer the case in the us backyard chickens are popping up in suburbs and cities and while the pandemic may ensure that this trend is here to stick. is pretty. bossy. trudi its price sticky. and mary lays an egg every day. for hens have been guests at the home of felicity of work origin playgoer vendler in the northern suburbs of berlin for a year now this is how it came to pass. as a capsule i'm dancing side then more meant just that and i was once stuck in

a traffic jam at some point and there was a livestock transporter in front of me. dispensed a tad towards this that got me thinking about what kind of lives animals leagues on the net and if one could give at least a few really good life as they had off almost i wanted to get to know how chickens lived and he didn't and since we have a garden i thought they'd feel right at home here. and they would have plenty to eat and they'd also give us many of their might have been doing funding. their diet consists of grands and fresh greens but also kitchen waste. in the summer time the hens lay an egg almost every day. and to the south of berlin mathias schmidt an environmental engineer by profession took up chicken breeding 4 years ago he rents out the offspring of a man who's been rising and not just during the coronavirus crisis. to get no more

go to. he's not a scam dollar we keep seeing scandals in the food industry. started the bad eggs animal stalls sprayed with toxins that end up in food if you want to go do you know antibiotics and chicken pigs and cattle. come moments away every time that happens people stop and think for a moment what are we doing what are we eating. berlin is home to almost 4000000 people and the growing number of chickens some big city dwellers come from the countryside and find that having a feathery friend reminds them of home. but chicken love can turn sour more and more abandoned birds are found wandering the city streets this animal shelter has its work cut out. as its commitment to a small fuel it sounds great to get fresh eggs from your own head on your balcony

the problem is most people have no idea how to look after chickens probably what they need to be happy every species has its special needs chickens in the in a city or in my own stance or in my view this is neat if they don't belong on a balcony on the 11th floor they need space a yard a meadow that it will. my ts smith does most of his business with clients in the suburbs who have gardens. he rents out for hands with a big cage stall equipment and feed for about $300.00 euros a month. the league and family considers it educational as we wanted to show the children where food comes from the animal products don't just appear in the supermarket so this is one small way to bring the matter home to them literally where things come from meat from chickens and also

eggs you know. rented chicks started in the united states but it's catching on in many parts. and i ts smith also rents to kindergarten schools and old people's homes. emma trudy ilsa and mary however are for keeps but they also risk getting eaten when the time comes their designated dual purpose poultry giving eggs and meat. their foster parents actually do the deed. is go. into i don't think you'll ever be able to slaughter a chicken at least not any of our 4 if we call them by their names we couldn't do it we're very fond of them and. so these 4 birds and it up with softies others aren't so lucky. another advantage of keeping chickens watching them can be very very calming.

like this something the germans serious about its brit in fact german print is even on to miss course in culture that had it interest but in recent years the franchise because have been growing at a few one in few traditional businesses the big. in some parts of the country but a whole community. traditionally but help is on its way and it's called bread off expedition vehicle we join the one of the for the pandemic restrictions were put in place. and they can. look at his elite troops take heavy equipment into what they call the bread desert . their mission to supply this thinly populated region good decent. bakery situation brandenberg a serious more and more small craft businesses are closing down. that

forces people to depend on discount retailers and i wouldn't say that there's discounters bread is all that good. something had to be done before. the objective today is a small town of just under $6000.00 north of ben and even here freshly baked bread is a rarity this is a job for the bread does that expedition being called a mobile bakery once used by the military in neutral switzerland where the need was probably not quite as an agent. to try to help the swiss had 168 of these vehicles about one for every part of their army they were meant to supply the military in the field of course they've never been used since the army just exercised with them. in the early 2000 songs all these mobile bakeries were decommissioned and sold. and i got hold of number 130 in the.

space in the expedition vehicle has to be used up to many it has a needing machine. and the gas the rest is done by hand. you know this kind of has listed german bread culture as an intangible cultural heritage over 3000 they've done a daily basis but the bacon is the work fully in depend. you have to climbed over the past 60 years in germany from 55211000 big chain and in-store bakeries have taken their plates off and using ready mix dough with artificial additives fluid and umberger uses only water flour and salts his recipe for sourdough is a secret electic acid bacteria and easts add flavor through fermentation that's the big big difference the acidification is hansen's the taste it's a totally different kind of bread a different food i was. slowly undone bag-o.

also owns a stationary bakery invent but he never actually trained to be a baker for almost 20 years he worked in the just sticks in australia switzerland and points in asia. he also met his wife in asia in 2015 they decided to open a bakery together. i was really really surprised how jerome and great i was like wow if we do open the big thing that you know that is fine then this is a different lifestyle is something where we can both work together because in a previous job he was always he was the break we know so now this is like you know before all of us can do it together as a team all the great desert expedition vehicle accomplishes its mission it's on the road in brandenburg for 70 to 80 days a year mostly at markets and festival season time seems to appreciate the fresh bread service as well on account of you know preservatives but rather fresh natural

and regional ingredients that's the best thing you can do. with every foray into the bread desert floatin down there comes closer to his goal good bread for him. for many of us food is pleasure it's a part of our culture and history but can you imagine food without water access to clean water is still a long. actually in some indian cities beirut in south india for example is quickly drying up and with more and more people moving to the city the demand for water has increased multifold fortunately for bengal a group of water warriors has been silently working on providing water security to the city one recharge well at a time. every morning my our visits the tree outside his village. it's very special to him. the lake nearby that once nitish to it has just

a cliche. and he keeps the tree alive because it provides shade to his late wife who was buried under. the sez i come every day to day care of this place. really almost died 20 years ago and i come every day to water it but i collect 20 buckets from the lake so my wife can rest in peace. and no one looks after it just me. belongs to the money over the community of well diggers. they live on the outskirts of bangalore city and have traditionally provided people with access to water in recent years this entire region has seen a dramatic drop in water levels. and the demand for welding has seen

a corresponding decline. he says around 15 years ago there was a lot of work for us but these days there's very little of no one wants wells now they bore with machines that go deep into the ground and the demand for our services has fallen. with. open roads like this one once served as bangles main source of water. as the city developed and began to bring water into pipes from the river cavity but the supply is insufficient. to make up for the shortfall people began extracting water from aquifers underground with mechanized pumps. moreover the booming city is increasingly covered in concrete. rainwater can no longer seep in and replenish

the ground. the stress is immense. bangalore is predicted to become unlivable by 2025. and signs of this crisis are everywhere. what export. believes of the money over the community and the city can come together to help one another. he started a project to build a 1000000 vici that use the community's skills but this time to dig wells that put water back into the ground rather than extract it. what every child will does is a big 3 more from the rooftop traditionally or from strong water great food water and push it into bangalore has been to. find solutions to problems one of the solutions which is. not going to get through the fog logical security the

quicker we get these 1000000. been flooding we have. the charge we have in the mode of supplementary water the half of the city would be in a solution space which would provide comfort to the city he. people who like the idea have begun to high odama krishna and his team need to build recharge wells in their homes or complexes. to gather the money for those 1st dig a pit that is 20 feet deep and line it with forests and mentoring. this will eventually fill up which mean water also facade on off. into the ground. the entire community benefits as the ground water is eventually shared by the city . he says recharge wells of the link between green and the ground water might grow in water we love our work and no

matter how tough it is all we want to do is build wells the i only feel satisfied when the job is done some of them. runs well. i was walking in bangalore the owner of the complex gave me a bit of water when i was about to waste what i didn't need when he stopped me and asked me whether i knew the value of water act and if they're going forward that's how we need to be and learn how to save water to get them especially rainwater that is the most precious one and it is where the new. so far the money orders have dug 113000 wells. they intend to dig 1000000. when the ground is really not wish they hope that their livelihoods bill once again . look pandemic is proving to be a bit with for nearly every aspect of life and food contradicted me be excluded from this tell us about what changes one making to your food habits right into was

florida drive by people are now receiving something much more hopeful vaccine shots and yet the race to inoculate millions of people across the world against kovac 1000 is off to a slower and messier start than expected insufficient supplies and complex logistics are backing down the process many countries including the u.s. and germany are falling far behind projected growth out speeds the main issue is that the biotech pfizer vaccine the 1st one to be widely approved requires cumbersome refrigeration at extreme temperatures and 2 shots within 3 weeks to be the most effective. this has sparked a debate among experts about whether the time between doses should be stretched to 3 months some argue that it is better to give many people some resistance to the virus meant to give fewer people full protection. the immediate urgency

ferries and the estimate that today there were only $800.00 not partly that's because of the time of year that we're in but also because many haulage companies chose to keep their trucks stationary they didn't want and possibly that because they were concerned about the issues with bricks it more paperwork more customs checks and certainly they are saying that in the days and weeks ahead they're expecting more of that to happen at the moment some of those checks have been waved on the u.k. side but that's not going to last for many of them a warn warning of sort of silence disruption to come even though as we're seeing at the moment it's looking ok on new year's day i will say have to keep an eye on how that progress as traffic picks up now british prime minister boris johnson is delighted that he did get a trade deal but where do we go from here what comes next it's a good question look boris johnson has had a torrid here particularly because of covert 19 he's been blamed by many for not
