the tomato and now we are going back and try to increase the test again of the tomato you're unsure russ wants to prove to us that durable tomatoes can also be delicious. taste. ok. like the little. we said it was said that not all the tomato need to have a taste because if you had only one and salt you don't need they just. feel. i think you i know what is the method to make this is ok yeah ok yeah. there is a worse. but the mountain for what they want this is ok what we're looking more and more is it to have a good color and a good firmness and a good taste and the nutrients in tomato are still it's a small player in the market for cooking anything is hybrid breeding the main

reason for the loss of nutrients in tomatoes in the media. then france veg out. one of the last traditional seed produces in france lives there. john luke who does not produce hybrid to mars has. he creates what he calls oh pariahs here. this is how we obtain seeds. because in a seed stay on the bottom and the skin floats to the tongue was to look to you chief. everyone used to know this technique of producing seeds for themselves but. through to the farmers knew that the next harvest depended on the seeds and they were very careful when producing them weeks for some of you ate the tomatoes yourself but the seeds were always the most important thing. today no farmer

produces them anymore but. the big companies do that. a dying tradition yes almost an orthodox i teach. in this greenhouse cultivates only the old fashioned righties. 100 percent innate. if it seems a bit wild and chaotic because i only have a small area of land to work. to make the most of the space i squeeze the tomatoes in close together only working with soil and without chemicals from told you that you are. i don't use any 3rd party products at all in this greenhouse so i grow about 20 different varieties of tomatoes from earth what do they all have in common

no hybrids no cross-pollination. but do these old for contain more nutrients than modern hybrids we decide to analyze spend. these tomatoes. and here is a similar looking hybrid from the supermarket. we send both off on the same day to a stately poetry to evaluate the ingredients. 3 weeks later says the results are they. in the case of the hybrid to moscow all 5 values they can pedal a much lower. the hybrid contains 63 percent less colosseum

29 percent less magnesium and 72 percent less bitumen c. . the hybrid contains less than half of the antioxidant 9 keeping less than half the homes promoting secondary plant compounds of poly females then the farm is to market. is consistent with the idea there is a relationship between taste and nutrient content and this was from wish by reproof from sir clay at the university of florida and he made the observation in this paper that many of the flavor components of tomatoes are derived from human nutrients when you eat or tomato that has a good flavor that means that it probably also had good amounts of the nutrients that were used to make that flavor it's a consequence of bridges. breeders

so work for you but they're also working for other economic troops and in the process. they also construct changing the chemistry of the tomato. the parent company of his era is a global player in the suit business. in paris the journalist believes leasing meets the vice president for international affairs who's a large part of the management of a globally operating seed producer have you ever analyzed the nutrient content of your tomatoes. so it depends on the growing conditions not on the variety. so this problem is not a concern of yours so i didn't say that the nutritional quality of our products is a very important issue for us the value of. the ice. is where we met professor rabinovich do you know him. say if you know he invented the

tomato that lasts for 3 weeks. yes you know he explained to us that the longevity gene blocks the ripening process of the fruit defects the development of the nutrients. i stand by what i told you i think the tomato growers have the greatest influence on the anatomy of the tomatoes and the responsibility of dealing with this is there is as they have the most significant impact. if one hybrids have another huge advantage will see it supply as they see it's can only be used. if you plant seeds from the freezer behind brit the mixture of genes becomes a game of chance the next jenner. ation ray produced tiny small all rapidly bracketing fruit this is why farmers have to buy new tomato seeds every year. and.

a profitable market for producers like his era in israel. and the small seeds are incredibly expensive so how much is one kilo of sit so this kind of tomato this kind of tomato today can reach 400000 euros what 4 kilogram of seeds what 400000 euros. or more yes you can buy a house was this i've heard that the need to see more capital gain of the sea yes the margin of our margins. we can get into my adult life because it's expensive expensive seats as a result of demands so yeah it's a good business for us if it's not we're not here vote 100000 heroes for one kilo of these yellow cherry tomatoes i see normal tomatoes cost around 60000 heroes pick

more even than gold they want you for just the seeds in it like you told you today in 22 different countries something all over the world and like which kind of country like like israel in thailand like in chile with in spain in india in many places. 'd seeds that are move there you go then go produced in low wage countries where labor costs little. next course of cool is in. this parish is the reason for the long journey. seen an investigation by the dutch human rights organization everything. 'd they claim that 16 percent of the work is in the seed business our children under 14 years of age.

for example in the indian state of karnataka the remote villages are among the poorest in the country. the climate in self india is perfect for growing vegetables every year 160000 kilos of tomato seeds are exposed from head. all global play is in the seed markets have a presence in india. b.s.f. do poll buyer monsanto syngenta and limit. rugby raunch works on behalf of reason in this region and fights against the exploitation of child labor. i took these the day before yesterday.

around 12000000 children in india work under the worst conditions since 2016 it has been forbidden for children under 14 to work. out of the order. i'll bring them over here we observe from a distance and count the workers see how big or small they are that. ravi says that the seeds of hybrid tomatoes are mostly collected by children. and many children were working capital but now the harvest is over. the fields are almost empty. but in a green house we can see human silhouettes. this company works for the multinational corporation syngenta faced in switzerland. about 10 women and girls of pruning tomato plants. when the

smallest of the girls sees us another worker signals that she should squat down. how much you were. up to the 5th grade now you don't go to school anymore now. how old are you. she's 17 and you climb a teen why don't you go to school. there are none here. only the primary school how long have you been working. for 3 years. but she started before me. is 1st in the market i mean and since when do you work since she left school at 11.

this girl is supposed to be 17 we all find it hard to believe. in gentle purchases that seeds from around $25000.00 mostly small hold farm is throughout india. we asked the swiss multinational how it feels about child labor. the answer sounds good but it's nonspecific. syngenta complies with all labor laws this in gentle fair labor program promotes decent working conditions and opposes child labor. children cheap labor but there's another reason why they are so often used in c. production as the author of the report soil seeds nurse 2 well. javelin revenge qantas one who is an independent researcher and has been

researching child labor and hybrid seed production for 15 years. the. ability to request a lot of. stills the. preferred because they can do this is a pretty 2 activities very fast. and also. we can see. who children can do the work of. that is the kind of calculation farmers have obedient and found the farm is depend on child labor because they are poorly paid by the corporations . to farmers are struggling. to have a. good profit margin if they how to.

good. good. margin will be. something to. divide with. but not only children are exploited. what is evident in can attack out only women who work in the street producing tomorrow if you. the family man explains this to us on his. later phone but aging clothes we have 24 riots these. clothes is a subsidiary of lemongrass the french seed producer has hundreds of farms under contract in the region. she's crossed pollinating the plants right now. bend 8 hours

a day the women pluck pollen from the flowers with tweezers beneath the scorching sun. but why are there no men working under the model the. minimum are expensive we only hire them for cutting and to carry loads they cost $300.00 rupees per day women work for $200.00. the daily wage of less than 2 euro's 50 is illegal even in india. in karnataka the minimum wage in agriculture is $330.00 rupees around for us today . these women only received 60 percent of the legal minimum wage. why do you work here we're not giving them because there is no other work right now normally we work in the rice fields and harvest rice but

at the moment there is nothing except pollination. is this work difficult. yes my eyes are so high because we are so concentrated and i have a bad back. it's hard work but we also have to earn a living. we get $102.00 euros here a kilo of tomato seeds if we arrange 26 year as more so we could pay the women what they're asking for and still have a profit because. the farmers are breaking the law because they don't get an additional $26.00 here is per kilo. sell the seat in europe for an average of $60000.00 euros per kilo. all the company is aware of this illegal practice. we visit an indian location belonging to him close with

a hidden camera. at 1st it doesn't look good to god stop us i was planning to. go along for cisco. lots of us but but but we make a documentary about seeds in the. uk so you know things which current. particularly offense all one. as we come from fronts like the parent company among clones it seems to open doing so we learn to talk to a manager. ok like the man phones his head office. ok. thank you very much because.

the team is surprised with the sudden off of famous indian hospitality that our. let us know that if you will even go for question 1st ok. we're in this is where the c's are trying to before they are exposed. to. fish thinking. during the interview the manager at mit's he knows that his contract families are paying their workers below the legal minimum wage. like the salary for one of the workers who live. this is some farmers have no less than 2 years 50

a manager goes on to reveal that the company doesn't even pay its own people the minimum wage. how much. because. just over 3 years no one here is allowed to know how much the seeds are worth in europe but only over to my top. i was going to be. very good. back in paris does limit though know about these practices and i scolded has said are you familiar with this report soil seeds i have it here yes. it was written and 2015 and examined the problems of child

labor and the exploitation of women and here on page 6 it says the proportion of children under 14 years of age is between 10.5 and 16.3 percent of all field workers working for lima. was christmas 1st of all i can assure you clearly and unequivocally there is no child labor at the lima ground sites. they sit during my god what about the subcontracted farmers who work for you in india can you assure us that there is no child labor there really that although some. we have reduced these from 10 or 15 percent to less than one percent all measures are being taken to achieve this which measures. contractual measures to ban child labor and hard before we continue to educate and inform raise awareness and if necessary impose sanctions on us to prevent child labor in lima grant as much as possible or talk of fierce uproot. high desire for existing as

much as possible. tide is child labor is a very serious issue the us we have a 0 tolerance level. 0 but the music is good and we ever be 100 percent certain in a country like india probably not but our determination is unwavering model you see none of them in companies that work for you we have made women who are paid below the minimum wage again until 100 rupees per day instead of $330.00 what do you say to that. so i don't agree with this assertion. of there was water in there something else that you claim that the indian guy employees receive the legal minimum wage of $330.00 rupees per day in reality pays its workers $300.00 the limit the manager has actually confirmed this list wherever we operate

employees are paid according to the legal minimum wage or higher memory. i take issue with your allegation that the film is sure. it is almost impossible to avoid hybrid plants. in 202060 percent of the world's commercial scenes were owned by chemical giant. liar monsanto. syngenta. biodiversity is not an issue for these corporations. in 2009 and experts warned the world about this development believing edition 10 until 2014 was the un special rapporteur on

the right to fish. the 75 percent of the diversity has been not. as a result of the pressure. of improved. we visit in brussels to live in new. job works in an international team of experts who sustainable food systems. his message the world suffers less from hunger then from the nutrition. the figure is alarming we have already lost 75 percent and plan for. biodiversity is not just a luxury for botanists yet it also helps to secure global food supplies we don't know what the future and climate change will bring which harmful insects and diseases will invest our plants we need the natural reserves of

a diverse plant world to cope with unforeseeable threats. to plant business goes hand in hand with a pesticide business 3 of the 4 world leaders producing seeds also produce pesticides bio monsanto delta and syngenta. the farmers are always offered a complete package deal they are told that they will only get a good harvest with this past aside that fertilizer for example some seeds are developed that are resistant to certain active substances he was and. some see unlike the trojan horse will agro chemicals more than $4000000.00 tons of pesticides are sprayed on the earth every year. at some point we won't eat the same thing from dakar to miami from paris to bangkok is that tomorrow's world.

or thousands of years we had a large quantity and for riots he have seen the value and the seeds improve. year after year with the harvests by farmers that were using methods. that would now be considered today as being traditional. rationally specialist companies have begun to perform this process of selection and leap production which in turn has put seeds on the market that can produce large quantities of genetically modified agricultural produce. the distribution of commercial seeds and which rights are owned by a handful of major transnational companies means that agriculture will no longer be sustainable for many small farmers in developing countries and therefore we're going to see a gradual worldwide destruction of small scale farmers with. increasingly

consumers and film is protesting a demand for. natural seeds that are not owned by the nazi group chemical corporation. in the south of france a resistance movement is gaining popularity. you. believe is situated in a room like. the nonprofit organization the aim is to protect traditional plants and focus and vegetable for righties their seed collection includes over $2400.00 vegetable varieties from beige cucumber to orange swiss. continue. the range of colors is amazing. to the standardize ation of agriculture species have fallen down in genetic finals most people for example thinks with chance a green and white. but there's an incredible diversity of swiss chard all of the

colors of the rainbow that we don't. has also started to see through that frontier this initiative. this is where we ship the passengers for the solidarity campaign sees without front is every year we send hundreds of packages worldwide this is feedback from some of the projects we've supported. from where virtually everywhere. india central and south america asia. and countries where the population is dominated by the agro chemical and food industry multinationals as a result they sometimes quickly lose all their natural varieties sometimes in just one or 2 growing seasons. by saving the old horizon and by growing traditional plants that families and consumers have the

chance to choose an alternative to standardised. and can choose to do that is good for us as well as our can. allow ourselves to. live on clowns. and. thinking the world. is an interview.
