i want to know their story. turf or to get reliable information for more grids. the c.w. news line from berlin 2000000 dead as the coronavirus times and it defines the efforts of governments to halt rising infection with the world's 2nd highest death toll brazil is among the countries hardest hit we take you to the city of men now where life saving oxygen has begun to run out also on the program u.s. drugmaker pfizer cut back deliveries of its covert $900.00 vaccine to europe to

allow it to increase production later in the year. and german chancellor angela merkel conservatives choose their next party leader may well become the country's next leader. on call for this will come to the show it's a milestone nobody wanted to reach 2000000 people have died from cold at 19 in the year since the outbreak began the spike governments around the world racing to vaccinate their populations most of them have so far failed to stem the relentless rise and deaths and infections brazil has the world's 2nd highest death toll with more than 200000 coverts fatalities lockdowns haven't been able to turn the tide and authorities and one city in central brazil are now admitting that its health

care system has collapsed. the ambulances keep on coming they bring a relentless stream of coronavirus patients to the hospitals in the brazilian city of monologist. manaos is the capital of amazonas a state hit particularly hard by the pandemic overburdened hospitals are now running out of their most vital supply oxygen. this growing shortage is costing lives. we have a mile or so my grandmother died today because of lack of oxygen there were 21 patients in the intensive care unit and my grandmother who is 84 years old didn't survive she needed 15 leaders of oxygen and didn't get it. the. protesters are blocking roads and picketing hospitals they're angry at the government and demand answers. you know i've been here since 9 am and seen just how

desperate people are i don't even know how to explain what's happening in our country and in our state it's unacceptable for there to be a lack of oxygen. and there is absolutely no explanation for this. safe because all the government has responded by flying in additional supplies to the embattled state the shortage has given rise to a new type of crime. police footage shows oxygen cylinders that had been illegally withheld to drive up the price. amazonas has been here before last year's dramatic images of mass graves carved into the rain forest shocked the world. brazil's health minister blames local authorities for the crisis. no one knows did not have an effective action plan for early treatment with

clinical diagnosis basic care and that has greatly impacted on the severity of the virus also the specialist care hospital infrastructure in manassas is quite small in percentage terms are you. going to. be more about. wall but as the ambulances keep coming in a country 2nd only to the us in corona virus deaths there is plenty of blame to go around us vaccine manufacturer finds or has told the european commission it will not be able to fulfill all of its promise deliveries in the coming weeks that's because of building work intended to boost production at its plant and belgium where the e.u. member states depended on the fines or vaccine for their immunization programs it's a major setback in europe's battle against the pandemic. pfizer's plan where it's

from here that every country in the world except the us will be supplied with its vaccine it's a complicated manufacturing process doses have to be kept at ultra low temperatures in the united states that deliveries could be delayed commits a complete surprise to the e.u. . these are all of course a question that pfizer company has to answer i think it is very important that immediately we make clear that there is a guarantee of a dose is that have to be delivered in the 1st quarter just a week ago the european commission was in talks with pfizer about delivery arrangements there was no mention of. the company wants to carry out works its plan to adapt the manufacturing process and that it would significantly boost production in the coming months several e.u. countries have urged the commission to peer pressure on pfizer they've described the delay as unacceptable and see it will have a profound impact on the credibility of the whole vaccination campaign. so

take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world at this hour president elect joe biden has called the current vaccine rollout in the u.s. a dismal failure and announced a new 20000000000 dollar immunization program the plan which still requires congressional approval would set up new community vaccination centers around the united states. u.s. health secretary alex has announced he will step down citing the recent storming of the capitol by trump supporters due to the coronavirus pandemic will remain in this post until president elect joe biden a sworn in his announcement follows the resignation of several other officials from the trump administration. the national rifle association in the united states and gun lobby has filed for bankruptcy the n.r.a. has been in financial trouble for years after it was sued for misappropriating funds by new york state despite the filing the group claims its finances are still

the internet remained switched off and much of the country is locked down some even showing up for work only to find doors locked. some people are still afraid. there's a still waiting for their candidates to be announced as the winner. most offices are still closed to come to work but i cannot access the building. i mean nothing it's legal nothing like it let's hear the voice they can't write it it. is. incumbent yuri mr veiny has been in power for 35 years and is seeking another term initial results showed him with a commanding lead over his main challenger. a former pop star turned politician one has refused to accept the results saying he has video evidence of fraud during the voting i am very confident that.

we have suddenly one and. one is now reporting that his fines have been disconnected and that the military surrounded his house before jumping the fence and taking control of his heart. the military says they are there to protect him despite a history of arresting and harassing wind and officials from his campaign. having survived association on the company entreaty. no being confined at all still we are being that duct are told. as. if. those who have been doing to. us why they're here vote

counting is ongoing but with the main challenger calling the result a sham and a leader determined to stay in charge a clear result may take some time. here in germany chancellor merkel c.d.u. party is about to elect a new leader it's a key vote that will shape the party's future direction and could potentially represent a 1st step towards determining the next chancellor after more than 15 years in the top job chancer america is not seeking another term in 2018 she was replaced as c b u leader by and could come home failed to stamp or authority on the party and announced last year that she would step aside the race for the leadership appears to be wide open with 3 very different candidates on the all male ballot ahead of saturday's vote we wanted to know about america this she have a preference yes angela merkel does have

a favorite to succeed her want to try not to show it when asked months ago with of the man next to her has what it takes to become chancellor. so i. hope the money that the 5 always said that i won't interfere in the succession of the position i have all had and you see do you party leader will be elected i mean life said is a candidate state premier of north rhine-westphalia he brings many qualifications to the table. by medical standards that's strong praise i am unless it stands for post machall continuity something he demonstrated in the candidate's debates. playing it i bring to the table experience in government as leader of a large state balancing out interests and it might come in handy that i've actually already won an election as these next elections are just sizes. matz wants to turn

the c.d.u. back to its conservative roots he wants left politics after losing a vote to angola machall a man keen to see the end of merkel style centrist politics. we need is competition for the best ideas to define the political center to put it more bluntly i believe that in politics nothing and nobody is irreplaceable no about what ministerial career was also once dented by machall political dominance still the underdog he has carved out a chance at the leadership by pushing his vision of a germany asked her to tick global player. strength is the answer and strength only comes through unity so we need european china strategy and that also means that germany has to stop simply seeing china as just one of its most important markets also mark that spot the next party leader will also be in pole position to run as chancellor the latest polls suggest it will be

a close call when the 1001 party delegates vote on saturday with math slightly in the lead. but when seaview supporters were asked who would be most able to win the federal elections in september and become next chancellor a stunning 80 percent named someone not even on the list marco sudha he leads the c.d.u. sister party and bavaria. and there is another dark horse with potential germany's health minister yet spawn is leaving his options open to. so the on so who will succeed chancellor may still be months away yet saturday's vote for a new party leader will decide how her c.d.u. defines conservative politics in the future. sports headlines now a court in munich has sentenced a doctor to 4 years and 10 months in prison for his role in years of illegal doping

from the clutches of the mafia it is a real chance to bring attention to the cause of suffering for millions of people not just here in italy. the 2nd covert 19 wave has hit south africa which has been affected by the time to make more than any other country on the continent hospitals are completely overwhelmed. this isn't a waiting room it's the treatment room for coverts patients at the hospital in khayelitsha one patient calls out to us to tell us she'd been sitting and waiting for 3 days waiting for beds to become free next door he's going. to see one or 2 that we put them into that understood to. be up for.

dr susan has been working here for 9 years and this pandemic is pushing him to his limits a 3rd of his colleagues have already had the virus how do you feel to see off the bill that sometimes you thought it was going to be enough speed sometimes we don't give enough oxygen we need to inform our youth and you know it's the one point to the difficulty did something good to drew. to do you 1st do it looks just so you should with this stuff but that's something that. on average one person with coverts dies in the hospital every day there's a small room next door with somewhat better beds for acute patients waiting for an intensive care bed at. another hospital the local health minister at mit's that not everyone can get an i.c.u. bed most are already full south africa meanwhile has reintroduced tougher lockdown

measures there's a strict a mosque requirement alcohol sales are banned and beaches have been closed but police are overwhelmed with enforcing the rules. only patients over the age of 45 i'm now being tested at the state clinics the demand is overwhelming. here in viral load just devolved on cries as a laboratory every 2nd test is positive the government announced it is already in talks with the manufacturers but there are no details yet beck and call you each other however there is hope initial studies show that during the 1st wave up to 40 percent of residents will already infected and possibly even immune social distancing remains impossible for many here dr mccomb colon and his team are there for still bracing for a tough few weeks ahead of them. china

is home to more the 98 ethnic groups many of which feel the experience of precious one because a woman fled to turkey after her to him in a chinese reeducation camp. scenes of a family out with 0. her husband john and their little daughter are in turkey a safe location for now. but for cuisine era and normal life is still far away she says she does not feel safe anywhere. the cold i still wake up from nightmares in which i see myself in a chinese internment camp again. the images and memories of the interrogations of the beatings and the things they did to him and their haunt me i don't feel sick for a few days and i can't sleep i argue with my family i even think about hurting myself . in 2017 good 0 hour hon was arrested in sin junk china's

westernmost region she's an ethnic aza born in china and was living in kazakhstan at the time on a trip back to china she was detained by police and then held for a year in several reeducation camps. although they tortured us they had cameras everywhere you were not allowed to pass scratch your head or cry if they saw that they would force you want to a metal chair they would make you sit there for 12 hours 24 hours you were tied to the chair and if you tried to move it would get tighter then they make you repeat chinese words that you didn't know if you forgotten they used electroshock device on your head back in kazakhstan her family did not know where she was at the same time authorities in china suddenly started to detain large numbers of the region's muslim minorities i traveled to the region to see for myself middle school number 4

of which are counted was one of the camps she had been to in 2018 a high wall was built around the school and shacks were built in the courtyard today the school is back to what it was china has defended the facilities as the case in a training centers and declared that by 2019 all trainees had graduated but 0 as also told us that many of our former inmates were later transferred to a regular prison on the outskirts of 2 more facilities. there are now 5 policemen following week. a prison with watchtowers and another camp were both built in 2017 when the campaign against ethnic minorities took off all the stuff that's. coming out of the one town if you film here we will have to take measures against you on this place is a state secret rooms i mean he. was 0 was told she was detained because she had

been to kazakhstan that was seen as a sign of being disloyal to china more and more service now calling what is happening in the region could genocide after reports of forced birth control sterilisation and. in the camp was your every cause the inmates were administered injections of an unknown substance. cruzeiros one of the lucky ones she was finally allowed to leave after her husband had complained for her and cars are still she has no news from her relatives in the region. germany's extended lockdown is taking a toll on many people parents are particular complaining about the heavy burden of home schooling on the children. home schooling is especially difficult for beginners like they aren't even used to

real school yet with his mother's help he too was learning to read and write in his living room. because we have the ever managed to do everything that is supposed to be done that day and. we have i really never wanted to be a teacher i don't know how you get someone to write a letter after 27 times in a row if they don't want to and in another minute or. plato's teachers and and of a tank or use their own private laptops to remotely support these homeschooling efforts here they offer question and answer session several times a week via video but teaching 6 year olds to read write and do mass remotely it's difficult. and this young man she can argue that there are some children that we can't reach at all right now they're learning very little and when we try to get them to come into school and then we work with them here at least the

tablets provided by the berlin city government can now be distributed to children who have no digital devices the top experts say this should have happened long ago back to feed to his home schooling his mom did i do is currently on prevention leave your husband is working they are just about coping with homeschooling my. idea that you can work and teach your kids at the same time is an illusion as if there's me running saying i'm going to tell the world one is that it's impossible to come by home office and. everyone in the family knows that this is not how it was meant to be not just hope things will get back to the limo sooner rather than later.

good shape. what effects of climate change on our house for me is egypt it's a very important. one key to the future and i want to i see. bodies. always on the road but always at home to. help her family makes up awesome. julia susie and gesture of passionate camper girls for us they put things to their chests. pre-cancer checked by pros.

read. in 60 minutes on t w. in the art of climate change. africa's most of. what's in store for. players today and for the future. construct in mega city the multimedia inside. enter. the. welcome to the health show on t w. k c a heist to cast in liquid taps. hello and welcome to in good shape did she know that more people die from air pollution than from smoking. and that's just one

problem because this is killing our planet to. exhaust you change of all time even for me is a g.p. it's a very important topic will there be new pathogens what will be eat in the future and what about the rising temperature of the ham our bodies in the year 2018 in germany no more than 1000 people were killed. extremely hot days and lingering he took night for days in a row that's becoming more common in many parts as climate change advances. it's not good for our health in fact heat can kill it's a country wasn't actually. it can become a health risk factor especially if it goes on for a long time but even dr heath subjects the body to enormous stress at some point the body gets exhausted after. during lengthy heatwaves

hospital emergency rooms are overrun. it's good for me to view there are more viruses and bacteria and we have to take that into account we also see cases of flu that unusual times of the year so significant changes are indeed underway. extended periods of great heat can trigger cardiac arrhythmia that has to do with sweating a mechanism whereby the body tries to cool itself sweater back parades it draws heat out of the body the body cools. but sweat depletes the body of water amino acids you react and salts otherwise known as electrolytes. is electrolytic all we need electrolytes so that we don't get cardiac arrhythmia or feel extremely weak patients notice when say their potassium level is low because

they have occasional extra heartbeats well their heart misses a beat have all said that when it gets very hot our blood pressure compliment that too is a result of the body working to cool itself down. if our body temperature rises above $37.00 degrees celsius our blood vessels become dilated which expands their surface area. with veins stand out helping to cool the blood but dilation means the pressure in the vessels declines that can be risky for patients who already take drugs to lower their blood pressure it can drop so low they faint . that's what happened to him on an exceptionally hot day. i felt strange all of a sudden here i felt really awful so i went inside and at that moment

everything went black in front of my eyes and fit me gunshots for. 400 doctor the case was clear. often medication needs to be adjusted to cope with long hot spells. on can reduce the dosage or stop taking a certain drugs and it varies and depends on the underlying disease some patients don't just have high blood pressure but also have heart disease or kidney disease. at charity university hospital in berlin climate change has become a topic of research one hypothesis is that a warming environment jeopardizes the healing of wounds for example after an operation there's an awful lot of bacteria on our skin and in our gut we're seeing more and more wounds that get infected one possible explanation for that is as these bacteria change during lengthy hot spells. as good.

pathogens lurking in hospitals also budget when it's warm. but. studies confirm that there is a link between warmer weather especially for lengthy periods and the incidence of infected wounds that could constitute a risk to patients. that conditioning could help according to dr hunter. he studies public health and the environment and says health care facilities across germany need to adapt to rising temperatures and lengthy heat waves. to some hospitals in france for example have one air conditioned room for patients on every floor says that's certainly something worth considering. climate change is set to become a major challenge for all of us and for our health care providers. to

see us when it's hot outside bringing its southern lifestyle to the north this could be one way in dealing with. i'm a change but honestly this is not the solution what the solution could be this is what i'm going to talk about your hartman today from look this is the german alliance for climate change and to help. the climate crisis as a whole so the health crisis but with a healthy lifestyle we can protect our wellbeing and at the same time. we here at the labyrinth through the museum in berlin currently an exhibition about climate change and this is our topic we will talk about because you are co-founder of cold . which means smart so what's about so rigid german climate change and health

warnings and we found it. years ago and we're in interdisciplinary. health professionals doctors nurses and so our main goal is to put health into the center of climate change discussions so weiss is so important because everybody's talking about the health of our planet why do we have to focus on health 2 because as humans we are connected parts to our direct environment people can only exist on a healthy planet earth and climate change will influence of course nature around us but also human health and whatever your facts the climate change has an abaya direct effect are fixed 0 if you have heat waves or extreme weather when 3rd a direct effect of these on our human health and indirect effect after example if we have. warmer temperatures and higher concentrations of c o 2 trees are producing more paul for example so people who have

a lot use will suffer more from these conditions and even some different diseases coming out of this climate change so they're not new diseases coming up but diseases we normally know for a deceleration reaches of our world will come to us as well so for example talking about. insects who transmitted diseases day will come to our regions as well what about different parts of the world where it's already hot and warm if you have a look at the areas around equator in 2050 there will be areas where humans won't be able to live anymore and just because the heat is so extreme that we conduct trade physical these people living around these areas they will have to look for new areas to live so people will migrate and they will also come to your obviously so you are fighting against climate change in your lines so what did you chief so far. for example this year the german doctor said we will talk about climate change

and health as a main topic so it's a really big achievement because the years before they never really talked about it and also our health minister he just claimed saving to climate means saving our health so he's starting to talk about it morris well and we also have local groups who act on a local level they're talking with directors from clinics but also from universities to bring up this topic more and more so there's some political pressure building up actually but what can i do what can we all do so of course we can change our way of living and it's one of the one thing we need to do but there are 2 other things i think that are even more important the 1st thing is that we have to talk with our friends and family about a topic because only by talking about it we will find solutions that have a broad acceptance and i was society and as well we have to be get politically

engaged so that we can demand for the politicians for the change really to reduce emissions so that for example cities built cycling pathways that the cost we have to pay for products really represents a cost that is put onto nature also and of course there's some of that contains a far more to tarion meals and then of course we have to change our way of living also eating less meat taking the bike more often so our lives will change actually in everybody's just talking about traffic about electric cars about taking the bus but you said the vegetarian diet might be important as well because we have to talk about livestock and the industrialized meat production we think that more than 50 percent of all the pollution gases are coming from life stock so maybe it's time to turn to vegetarian diets. pig and cattle farms and industrial scale meat production consume a lot of energy and have

a major impact on our environment and climate so what effect does our diet have on our planet and health. these questions were the focus of a recent study by climate scientists. and an international team of research is. the 1st time ever we do a scientific assessment linking sustainability of food and what we find which is. this healthy diet. we would actually cut down by half the food system impact on climate change for example a very significant contribution the study shows very clearly the repercussions of our diet the production of food takes up 40 percent of the earth's land surface and 70 percent of the world's fresh water and it's responsible for 30 percent of greenhouse gases soil depleted of nutrients requires more fertilizer and the global

appetite for meat means that more and more rain forest is being cleared to make way for cattle grazing land. the researchers also made dietary recommendations. they advise no more than 40 grams of meat per day around 500 grams of fruits and vegetables. 250 grams of dairy products. much of the world this would entail a substantial change in how we eat. this diet would be a major benefit to our health. and the health of the planet. here is to get the food right into the climate negotiations and right into all the climate action to understand that it's not enough to just decarbonize the world's energy system we need to decarbonize and get sustainable food systems as well. as a change of mindset is what's needed after all it's the shape demand. each one of

us has to decide what we'll do for health and the future of our planet. so how much meat do you eat i actually have been eating meat for 9 years already so you reach a target ok so the vegetarian diet a diode you would recommend for say everybody here definitely i'd least i would recommend to reduce the consumption of meat because it's way healthier as well for of course for our planet and as well for human health but it's very very difficult to change habits especially the eating habits so you've got any tips how to change it it's not about everything or nothing i think reducing the meat consumption step by step with the key to how to deal with this problem so of course there imitation products and you can use them and also there's a pretty healthy diet to it is recommended by the lancet dissent of

a journal we've been talking about over and they're. recommending a diet which includes meat and fish but only in their around so if somebody wants to go plan based on his or her diet would you recommend using. attorney tubes like meat in the beginning i think it can make things easier but still often very processed and contain a lot of salt so in the end you should aim for eating more lentils beans for example so products like tofu or tempe and also nuts and seeds or if you want to top off your protein levels you can even eat some insects i mean many people around the world eating insects on a regular basis they are very nutritious tasty they are high in protein and they harm our environment much less than for instance cars. is this the food

of the future it could be since 2018 the european union allows insects to be processed into food and so. supermarket chains are already offering products made of insect flour or even entire larvae like buffalo and meal worms in many parts of the world insects have been consumed for millennia and insects are even considered delicacies. but in europe they're a relatively new colony concept the e.u. has strict hygiene regulations for insect farming species raised for food include grasshoppers and crickets meal worms and buffalo worms the worms are fed a special powder after just 2 weeks a ready to be harvested then put on a diet to empty their bowels that's where most bacteria would be found. then they're washed and frozen. as

a final hygienic measure before they're marketed the worms are heated to at least 85 degrees celsius. in view of the rapidly rising world population the united nations and many experts have long viewed insects as an important food for the future it could be the only feasible way of meeting our protein needs. another advantage of insect farming is sustainability insects grow quickly and don't need much feed and raising them doesn't require much energy or other resources. producing one kilogram of beef takes around 15000 liters of water a kilo of insect meat requires just 4000 liters cattle consumer around 8 kilograms of feet per kilo of meat insects just 2 kilos. edible insect products in flu different kinds of pastor burgers muesli energy bars and insect snacks like chips

there's a huge variety with a large range of tastes but for those of a. aren't used to eating insects what are they like. what good it's ok. like whole grain. this burger chain in germany has insect patterns on the menu some of the guests are intrigued and willing to give it a try. something different people eat this in lots of countries it's just a matter of attitude. so why not be daring and give insects a try you never know they might taste better than you think. so what about you have you ever eaten some insects to try to modify korea. and out of the tasty i don't have to try it again try to. think.

there were maybe it's a cultural thing so i'm very interested in you did you ever eat insects and how did they taste to you why don't you just write me an e-mail with your experiences and if you're already at your computer screen write me an e-mail with your questions to . your weekly health show on v w covers many aspects of health care to look at what's new in medical treatment nutrition fitness and beauty. we talk about these topics in depth with experts and give you the chance to post your own questions so do get in touch. so if we all would start eating insects now with the stop climate change unfortunately it's not only about our nutrition about how we generate power for example but it will definitely oh it could help a little bit and in fact i really efficient in converting fruit into mass you could

say for producing one kilogram of insects you only need to have a gram surf. and. for example whereas for producing one kilogram of. beef you need 8 kilograms of feet what else must have to slow down climate change a lot because we are far away from reaching the climate goals from the paris agreements and also clement's that scientists that tipping points from when we're talking about climate change are also talking about a tipping balance we're going to reach them earlier than expected for example one tipping point just one depression for us to it's going to melt anything parading and the thing is that climate gases well are greenhouse gas and so it is a process will be accelerated and this is not reversible is not reversible so man it will make other tipping points for some melting off the glaciers and ice caps to . accelerate as well so what are you doing personally so i'm

a vegetarian grower talked about that i'm also trying to buy more secondhand clothes also to buy 2nd hand gadgets making the bicycle more often and physically engaged as a climate activists and you can see that right here but i think there are some opportunities involved as well to stop climate change in mitigation measures and it's really important to talk about that as well because climate change like to stop climate change will benefit our health as well for example if we take the bicycle more often we're physical effort to it and then a lot of other diseases we call the non-communicable diseases there are caused by our lifestyle so eating too much sugar too fatty and then moving enough and by living a more active lifestyle for example and reducing the consumption if we eat real good healthy as well so we can save yourself and by the way we're so good time to. there's one more thing which we haven't discussed this is the world's population

experts believe that in the year 2050 there will be 10000000000 people living on this planet which is 2000000000 more than today. how many people can we feed. by the year 2050 will we be able to feed the global population with organic farming or is that just a pipe dream. scientists in christian charter have published an initial study commissioned by the un food and agriculture organization. the results don't make for good reading when. our calculations have shown that we would need a lot more land and that would mean tremendous changes if we were to produce like we do today it's basically impossible and. the study concludes that if we continue as we have so far we were not be able to reliably feed humanity either with organic or with conventional farming the researches took

a number of factors into account for instance eating habits which around the globe have come to resemble the prevailing western lifestyle. more and more people want to eat meat and dairy products. that means a drastic rise in the need for animal feed to produce all that along with the environmental damage that would result for us to. at present global meat consumption is $320000000.00 tonnes a year it's predicted to rise by half as much again by 2050 demand for eggs and milk will also go up dramatically. raises the question of where they'll come from so that we don't have any extra land that we could use without releasing a huge amount of forest grasslands would be associated or full impact on biodiversity and so on. so how to secure the global food supply in the long term

because the un charter says not simply by producing more land for traffic reporter so agricultural production has already been highly optimized in most western countries and many other countries. that means the natural potential for producing food on a given amount of farmland has already been reached. we have to think about changing things and the entire nutritional system to address this problem more effectively. the scientists have taken a closer look at global food consumption and come up with 2 strategies. it's absurd to expect the increased yield on long to solve the problem of world food security while a 3rd to one half of all food is being thrown away. so the 1st strategy calls for less food waste the 2nd is about raising animals for meat. the scientists call this strategy feet no food the idea here is that animals should not

be fed anything that people could eat when we feed plants to animals and then eat their meat many valuable calories are lost if we ate the saudi corn and wheat that's currently used as fodder we'd get around 20 percent more calories. than for that reason animals should be fed exclusively on grass and waste products in keeping with traditional farming methods of. doing without meat altogether is not the solution say the study's all fits 2 thirds of the world's agricultural land is pasture land it's too barren or uneven for cultivation it's best suited to growing grass and not much more on these. grassland for human nutrition. such as cows sheep and goats are an important element in turning grass into food for humans. meant. also richard protein.

the study finds that its resource needs to be used to secure food for the world but it does recommend lowering meat consumption considerably. your business can flourish we don't have to stop eating meat if we reduce our meat consumption by half that's already drastic but doable i'd say it's not about implementing extremes it's about moving in the right direction and thinking. all the calculations point to a drastic cut meat consumption is that really necessary. we don't really have a choice and we have to achieve this somehow if we want to feed the world in a way that makes sense on this planet and if we don't do that then we'll have no chance anyway to control. the recommendations forward by the 2 scientists are clear. the difficult part will be implementing them
