the be less effective, it becomes, and the more you need to apply events the effect to has been to korea, studying herbivores and pests, and how did reactions respond to pesticides. and he's like all evolving resistance to, to an antibiotic. now, if you know you, they are set these to some extent, but then eventually especially you abuse them, then you will receive them to, to them. the same thing happen, which is 6. they have goals, resistance to the store. the more you apply, the more resist than the population become and society coating the soil indiscriminately also leads to other species dying off. in the last 30 years, global insect populations around farms have declined by up to 75 percent. and that's not all run off from farms fil rivers with chemicals. and when the drain,

the ocean, the kill of large populations of wildlife from shocks the totals and wales like the gulf of mexico, dead zone and not to mention the spring pesticides also causes pharma problems. from skin rashes, to long term lung damage, and the residues that remain on produced can cause long term health conditions among the people that eat the fruits and vegetables. that's a lot of negative, but providence of industrial farming say alternatives either too expensive to skate worldwide or use too much land, especially as i remaining forest need protection no more than ever. but is this still true? organic is the umbrella term for anything growing without chemical pesticides? regulation for what isn't, isn't organic value by country, but generally fall in line with natural biological systems and protecting water and biodiversity. organic farming methods can include introducing natural predators to

keep us a way of doing multiple crops to improve soil health and even using organic pesticides that are generally less toxic. been chemicals. this does lead to more land needed for agriculture and less. overall, the jury still out and where the organic food is actually much more nutritious. but what is thought is that organic vegetables contain fall fuel pesticide residues and therefore healthier. but a lot of gray areas, organic funds can be small scale and cater to local communities or they can be large and industrial, transporting food over large distances, sometimes overseas. so not all organic farms mean local and happy and your which so many. ringback if and but how did the to compare? we had looked at 40 years of all the studies then comparing organic with

conventional farming. recognize teen found that while conventional psalms produced 10 to 20 percent higher yields, organic farming is not only better for the environment bars. and more surprisingly, it was more profitable significantly. so and the part of that reason is because organic farmers get a premium for their food, they get more money for their food. over that 40 year period between 75 and 2000 to 2015. the premium average about 30 percent more high price of organic food can be ignored. the eggs cost up to 3 times more in germany where i live, for example, organic milk is double the cost of conventional milk. but at the moment of all the farm land around the world, the share of completely organic farms is just 1.5 percent. as this grows,

the price of organic produce is expected to fun to make organic food more accessible. effect prices have already log you started to fall in the last 10 years around the world. but do we need to cut down more flores ok, organic yield, sustain the was our saw. the show very can be soon. convincingly that given the yields that are produced in the, in organic agriculture and the amount of food that is needed to satisfy the attrition requirement of the human population. that it is possible with organic agriculture to produce enough food. it be by many other studies have come to the same conclusion, but with one major caveat on diets. if people is only reagan food,

100 percent of the population could be fed on organics using just the land we already farm on. mediterranean ism would gives us a 94 percent success rate and a wisdom style me to have died. give this a 15 percent chance. there is another big factor as well. inefficiency, right now of told of all the for the produce worldwide gets wasted. and we also basically produce a lot of, i wouldn't call it fluid but, but there's a lot of grain that's produced to to feed cars for ethanol or, you know, biofuels. a good example of inefficiency of land use is con, most gone harvested in the u. s. goes directly to feed animals not to be boned as fuels. why less than that can enter the food system. ah,

so in theory we could feed the world with just organic food, especially with a more plants based dias and more efficient farming systems. but do we need to get rid of all the best buys? maybe we don't need to be for the article. it might be we live with some of the synthetic chemicals that we use them just to tweak. we use them in very small amounts. we use more of the last resource around the was more and more farmers are integrating their farms, growing organic crops with this decide only when needed or targeting certain crops rather than flooding fields with chemicals. so the question is, what can we do as conscious consumers, your fresh brothers buy them more locally? know your farmer, they tend to be organic. governments are going to support farmers, they need to incentivize good farming practices and save for growing cover

crops. they should be supported for longer crop rotations to help them do it. they should be supported to convert to these more integrated and pork janik systems to the best thing you can do with the visual is to join a movement. whether that movement is the international present movement of your campus, which has hundreds of millions of landers, workers, farmers, peasants, and supporters around the world. or whether it's some of the other movement. making dramatic calls for systemic change in the, the way that we are, operate. the movement to ditch chemicals is growing. and between farmers, consumers and the state doing their bit, we could one day make these cheesy happy farms. a reality, as we saw earlier in the show, genetic diversity of crops is worth preserving. on the outskirts of bengal, we met

a man who runs a community garden. and in this age of rapid globalization, he set a lofty goal of growing and promoting traditional regional fees. let's see how he does it. the typically traditional indian meet or rise on bread. so a little bit idea of side dishes each made off a number of ingredients. but as india has been, i saw to has to be its people, eat meals, have become faster, easier and much less diverse. but many ingredients even being flown in from around the world of study, found that around a told about indians eat, come from abroad artist and god. and as a comma is the force behind movement to save in the genus food stuff. he has founded revival project called surge up with it and could just be boot to grow

local and seasonal foods that have slowly disappeared from their lives. actually, the recipe has been changed where the ingredients become very less. so people, when they're made in the peak season, they'll add 15 to 20 kind of hubs and greens in one curry. now we just 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 people are selling come out of the community garden on the outskirts of bank a little in the village. fuller gateway. and it is filled with interest in crops that high but local and now where the squashed. i thought used as a vegetable and cooking is a walking guard. we have to break open the spot now the pressure is inside to these other seats. so you can at least spend what you got a high limit, i think. and that it can be out on like 5 to 6 low so you can feed like 23 families

as well as good using foods with a better taste and flavor seats. i talk to produce more nutritious fruits and vegetables. many edible plants once grew around the village, but villages have lost the skills to have is them the current generation doesn't know what is edible and what is not eventually the guns going for us. and the one to the, the mr. going back, the landscape is not clean anymore. you see a lot of $3.00, a lot of construction may have a cars moving around and things like that. so that is the reason actually. i want to rewrite them and it's not just learning to forage in past month. at least 15 rural families have been inspired by the project. they have started their own kitchen garden that meet around 50 percent of their daily needs to feed all the people who live on the planet is no small feat. industrialized food production seemed like concrete idea in its early days. but now that it's extracted new ideas of the need of our,

i hope the ideas we share with you today have menu. think about the value of food comes from and how we can make it more environmentally friendly. as he will get next week with many more such ideas, until then goodbye the news, the ah, the
