7:02 am
breeze families, judges lawyers, but no defendants. the trial began today of 3 russians and the ukranian accused of involvement and shooting down malaysia airlines flight m age 17 over eastern ukraine 7 years ago. so where are the defendants? i'm so gale and this is the day. oh, the resist. responsible to cause be ruled on the basis of 3 questions, drawn from the indictment just as if it takes time away and a 17 crash. as a result of the attack by a missile was a book mister laurence from a field of my scheme. the least we can do for it is
7:03 am
a for alpha and the accused rolled and also on the de amazon found a just base us takes off into space next month, launching his space, tourism business and giving himself a different perspective. you see the earth from space that change and you change your relationship with this planet with humanity. it's one earth. welcome to the day we begin in the netherlands, where judges have started to hear evidence against 4 men suspected of being behind the downing of malaysia airlines, passenger plane, over eastern ukraine. the motor is being held there. amsterdam skip all airport from where i made 17 took off all 100. l 298 people on board died when the plane was shut down and nearly 7 years ago, families of the victims bracing to have painful details in court. the suspects 3
7:04 am
russians and the ukrainian still at large will be tried in the absence a tree for each of the people who never returned the memorial site next to the people airport has 298 trees. in total, 3 of them are dedicated to p flukes family. he lost his brother, his sister in law, and their son on board flight mh 17. they left 2 daughters who did go with him and only those 2 young daughters at the at the time. and so yeah, i had to tell the daughters that their, their father and mother and brother died and to tell my parents who were in the hospital at the time. so that was very shocking. yeah. pete tooth chairs,
7:05 am
a foundation, bringing together thousands of next of kin. he says the image, 17 disaster header, real impact on all of dirt society, where the bodies were repair related. the whole dutch nation was, was, was what she did on television and just terrible. but this was also very, very beautiful, that there was so much compression among the dutch people, slight and a 17, took off here at the people airport and never reach the spinal destination in malaysia. now after years of investigations, a court here in the netherlands is determined to find out what exactly happened on that fateful day in 2014 and also who is responsible at the center of this inquiry are the remnants of the bowing. triple 7 here being viewed by the court. a massive jigsaw puzzle that was pieced back together in
7:06 am
a dutch military base. the crash site 7 years ago, or 298 on board, the plane were killed when it was blown out of the sky over a war zone and eastern ukraine. evidence points to a book, anti aircraft system, which was moved from russia and to rebel territory controlled by pro russian separatists. these 4 men will stand trial. they remain at large, allegedly protected by russia. those were presenting the victims families say this doesn't make the case any less important law has alarm, you know, also in time can take 5 can take 10 years, maybe 15 years and mister put in and his regime will not always be in power. so maybe if there's a shift in government and if there will be a shift from policy. also there will be a shift in policy in this file, so they will have no rest. the suspects, i'm sure that peach fluke, on the other hand,
7:07 am
says he doesn't care that much whether the suspects go to jail. he just wants the truth to be spoken. i think it's important that, that we know what the role of the russia if they had the ro, what the role of the russia federation was not only will push the button, but also who was in the, in responsible for all for all. what happened? so this can take years and even 7 years after mh 17 crashed, he's determined to see this through until viet let's get more or less a roman broke off who is editor in chief and founder of the investigative online newspaper. the insider is a journalist who spent more than 5 years researching the, shooting down the relation airlines flight to 17 and joined us from moscow. welcome to d. w. so the international investigation concluded that m a 17 was destroyed by a book miss style 5 from territory controlled by pro russia san francisco rebels
7:08 am
and the miss. so i was brought into ukraine on immobile launch from a military base in russia. russia, of course, denies any involvement from your research is what do you think? well, i think that we all do. they have nothing to investigate because we know all the names of the people who were all including high ranking russian generals such as general because show the general lack of from bad you and other russian military and the services and we forcibly, i dont know for sure who pushed the button, who among those soldiers from the 50 brigade, push the button. but this is not the most important here. i think when all of that, the russian government is responsible for bringing boot, bringing the soldier there. and so this is what, this is the answer the josh was looking for. yeah, of all of one of the most baffling things about this though is the why in all this,
7:09 am
why would russia want to shoot down a passenger plane or cause it to be shot down? well, it's pretty simple because they thought that this is a new play and they brought because it's like to miss out system because they, they, so the ukraine to destroy these so called rebel forces. they don't actually really rebels because most of the russian citizens. but anyway, we see here in intercept that phone call that they're discussing. now after they brought this book out system now they will with more ukrainian ministry aircraft. so they just, so this is a kind of military transport aircraft. at 1st, russian governmental agents as such as always they publish even then piece of news . they like your grand ministry plan is so down they didn't even understand the
7:10 am
disorder. i'm sure the airlines and after they realized it was over the delay because everybody understood what was happening and all that they are wanting now is just the delay, the rose, the bonus to make it harder to bring those people who need to be brought to justice this is also like high ranking people, like general pagers, like this is not already you. let's talk about the defendants. none of whom are in court. so who are all the 3 russians and one ukranian? so these are, this is like the lowest level and we must understand that of course there will be more and more people who will be brought to court. and these are only those was easy to get. i mean, because like that is the lowest,
7:11 am
political cause bringing this people to go. and then i just proving that these people helped to bring this miss our system. some of the border to, you know, i village where i've been was so down. so then i just read it as important facilitate that i bought the quarter, i believe it's some sure that russian move on from the speak to thought brigade also will be called guilty. and also they're like bosses from the general who ordered them to go through the border. the older they also will be in the least of the people in the trial. and what good does the trial serve if the defendants are not there? this is no political question of what's to understand that for now it is in power.
7:12 am
it's absolutely impossible to really reason some of them. but this is very important. this is also ethically, very important because as relatives of victims over the said that they just need to know the truth. they need to understand who, who are guilty, they're all, they need to understand all the facts. it's important for, for the, for the lights and politically it is important because, you know, this book very often happens when the government is waging war in europe and trying to. ready reject it any relation with the the so these will not only just prove that this airplane was so shut down by rescue 3. this will also rule that russia worth and he's waging war against ukraine. so very important. and just so on. russia claims that it was ready,
7:13 am
willing and able to help the investigation, but has been excluded. i showed moscow have been allowed to help. well, this is absolutely. this makes no sense because they didn't allow even to inter gate the soldiers for all to thought brigade on russia. so it is absolutely clear that they have no intention to help the process and also to train share when, when, when, when the site which is possibly guilty demands all of the equal rights with all the other countries. yeah, we all want the russian government to participate, but it would be that they would have they would be trusted as much netherland or i don't know. that understood,
7:14 am
thank you for joining us. room and double can go from online investigative newspaper, the side oh, here in general, the political parties have had the last test of public opinion before september national elections. this was in a regional vote, in fact, to me on how to the former communist east. the far right alternative for deutschland has been biting hot heels about going back to conservatives in the polls. in the end though, the chance of the cd at a c, d. u. a come to me so far i challenge one more than the 3rd of the vote spot losing some ground. the f d remains the 2nd biggest party in the state. parliament things look a lot brighter than most likely to see the headquarters in berlin. the results from sax neon house have given a boost to the man who lead the party into national elections. they salt him. i
7:15 am
mean lashes. c, d. u has been strengthened by voters, gave a clear preference for his party over the far right. divide site out loud. the election also shows that are clear stance against the sd isn't just right. it's also shared by the voters and would be reading these and we'll stick resolutely to our central cos. that's what i stand for as party chairman and candidate for chancellor. i'm fine. how's the last one? the thanks me on how the elections, the state premier say to success is also rooted in the way he's been governing with a social democrats and greens. his acknowledge we're sending a clear signal, we'll distance ourselves from the f d and stick to our centers policy. so we can form a government with a clear voter mandate on below. this was our recipe for success. that was, which was on the flip, the se, failed to make the big gains, the hopeful, despite strong poll numbers, they finish that this the 2nd. but the right wing party, dominated by a more radical fringe in saxon young house,
7:16 am
still got more than 20 percent of the vote. folks with a party of the people in saxony on how the results are clear. of course we want to be popular nationwide and build on the election results from 2017. that's our goal for the national elections. in this part, 5. the greens failed to build them a nationwide search. like the social democrats, they came in, whether the 10 percent amiga pickings for the parties to squeeze by the swings of the conservatives. let's see if we can bring the tea leaves with the w political correspondent, hands of brands. welcome hans political pole these days to having such a good time of it before the election. the pulse predicted that the c d u and the far right after would be neck and neck. but we so that the, the c d you had a comfortable leave. so what did the polls mess? that 2 things we have to look at. on the one hand, they will pose that one that well designed. one has to say they were undying poles
7:17 am
and wounds well controlled. those are the ones that predicted a much closer race. if you look at the more, more established and serious pose, none of them gave the lead in front of the concert to see you at the same time what the polls did not measure was the movement of voters. the fact that they were many voters who had not voted in the previous election, who now gave to the conservatives to the c d. u. in order to prevent you from gaining too much of a foothold in this region. so there were a number of voters that were not covered by the poles as it were, and the result came out very differently as a result. right? so the a significant and c d vote. so presumably, then this, does this tell what does this tell us about these prospects for september? it's very difficult to say this is an area where the, if these particularly strong,
7:18 am
somewhere around 2520 percent. it came more of this out of nowhere. 5 years ago when it 1st entered politics in this region, on the back at the time of the migration crisis in europe, it is now proven that it is well established as a party, especially in that region. but on a national level, there's a lot more opposition to the s d and there are a lot more other parties that it has to fight against at the moment the nationally, it's posing at around 10 percent. so much, much lower than inspection on hold in this most recent election. let's look at the witness and the action that the cd you. this must be a big boost for them after months of uncertainty over their party leader and the chancellor candidate. yes indeed it is. a booth for them, it is good for them are all as it were, but they are to one has to cushion that. this is an area of germany that is by no
7:19 am
means representative of germany as, as a whole. it's a very small federal state. they were only about 2000000 voters involved compared to some close to 800000000 and the whole of germany. there's no strong urban areas in, in that part of germany. so all the urban voters that, for instance, support the green party with the social democrats more strongly and not really present in this region of germany. so all this means that what the see the you succeeded in doing there is pushing forward a conservative agenda. but at the same time, setting up a kind of war against the as the, it's not necessarily election less than for the rest of germany. because on the national level it's not the f d that the cd you will be fighting against, but much more strong. the, the greens and the social democrats correspondent hanson brand. thank you so much for that. the
7:20 am
years a conflict in india, kashmir regent have wasn't a drug addiction problem that the regions main addiction treatment hospital in russia has registered at 945 percent increasing cases in the 3 years between 2016 and 20. 19. most of those affected or age between 17 and 30 constant security lock downs, fears of torture and poor employment prospects, as seen as the primary drivers eviction for and boss is just 20 years old and she's a drug addict. she lives in kashmir and northern india, where a border conflict has been smoldering for years when a friend of hers was tortured and murdered right in front of her. a few years ago, she was traumatized. he said that you would rule something close by that you could just leave us mind get out of this beam. so i started this all this
7:21 am
from cody and only pain, all that. and this was the beginning of when i became thousands of young people in kashmir, just like for on the spiral begins taking simple pain relievers, but then increasingly merged into stronger drugs. i started taking a high end of drugs here doing after that the jazz and gotcha and all that, all i've been and even, i don't know, many of the drugs i just wanted to relieve might be to situation in kashmir, has been tense for decades. pakistan, india and china old fighting over a territorial claims. the kashmiris who live here are the ones who suffer any kind of work for a youth initiative. she understands the hopelessness of many which for her also stems from the kashmir conflict. want to know if the all schools are posing less
7:22 am
through the courses. so there is no walk for all students because internet service is not available for them. so that may lead to a stress, and then that will probably diction there. and now some rehabilitation clinics in the region, funded by the government, physicians like dr. was off a con, one to help young people escape their addiction, but their needs overwhelm what his facility can provide. just now i was reading my patients and he was reporting me that he has last night off his head and their dog died in last one year because of the doors because of other things. and if we lose our young people in the c, definitely, it is very painful. the clinic has been advising for on for a good 2 months. she realized here that her current path could lead to an early death. well, the girl that wanted to do that want to want to do that. so idea is that i gave
7:23 am
a self and then this is to me and part that i need medical treatment. i need a counseling, a proper guidance. 5, i could come out of this. serrano has not touched any drug for 2 months now. in the midst of all the troubles in kashmir, there is still hope the . and finally, amazon found jeff bezos, he's getting ready to write his own rocket into space. he says he'll go on the 1st passenger flight in a blue origin capsule next month, taking his brother along this auctioning off a 3rd seat to the highest beta 1st flight. and then when he asked me to go, well, the w reporter peter wrote down. it's been keenly observing mister basis, his extra terrestrial ambitions. welcome peter. so the astronomical wealthy, just based off now officially heading to the stars. yes, i mean,
7:24 am
this may go down as one of the coolest gift, not just on earth, but beyond taking his brother there on this trip. story trip to space. it's the 1st ever crude flight of the new shepherd. that's the rocketship made by base own space company. the blue origin is a fully autonomy rocket. mean there's no pilot plane. this thing. it will take 6 passengers more than 60 miles. that's about 100 kilometers above the earth into what is called sept or but all space and not is high enough for the passengers who experience a few minutes of weightlessness and to look out of these huge beautiful windows to see the curvature of the planet before the capital returns to earth and these higher flight shouldn't take a lot more than 11 minutes from start to finish. all right, and that's gonna be one of the most expensive 11 minutes in the world. he's opening off one of the seats because him because he needs the money. exactly. exactly. that the was moving. the price tag for this is currently at over $3000000.00.
7:25 am
that's the highest right now, and that's 5, almost $500000.00 more than just a few hours ago. you know, the bidding really storing after base as there announced that he will be going on this trip as well. and this is really all part of, you know, the big billionaires base scramble that we've seen in recent years and decades. some of the world's richest men, launching their own space. startups from richer branson with his virgin galactic to test founder. you must this space x and they're just pumping these after nominal sums of money into a very niche market that's base towards them is a booming industry that is fuel by the old, for wealthy. and we're all it to become part of the 60 mile high club. well, if you say so i'm boy coughing it personally. it's like if you're not making money here on that basis. well, i think what united states enterprise,
7:26 am
not just that they're all from by billionaires, but also offensively that they have a very strong focus on sustainability. you know, launching a rocket in the space is not something most people would associate with, you know, carbon friendly. but these rockets are revolution and revolutionary in the sense that they are reusable that appears that at least part of what's driving this push is a heightened awareness among the billionaires of our unique place in the universe, in our desire to protect the planet. and here's how jeff bases himself is describing that. you see the earth from space that changes you. it changes your relationship with this planet with humanity. it's one earth. and you know, that's a noble sentiment, but it's also one that many will see us further prove that base of just does not live in this a reality. as rest of us. again, the current high bit standing over $3000000.00 for many like phases who last year made more than $10000000000.00 in a single day. that's pocket change,
7:27 am
but for the rest of us as a reminder, that while we may live live on the same planet, we don't live in the same fear. you say that i think i'm going to withdraw my bid. now, i'm not convinced peter all adult. thank you. not was the day i ever lay conversation continues online. i just twitter at the w. yes . i'm getting the news. ah, who's the news?
7:28 am
the news? the news eco. india. how can a country economy grow in harmony with his people and the environment when there are doers? look at the bigger picture, india, a country that faces many challenges and whose people are striving to create a sustainable future clever projects from europe and india eco, the india dw.
7:29 am
i tracked in the clutches of human traffickers. ah, countless children in india are working as in slave. their only chance is to be rescued in a raid and handed over to aid organizations, which offer them education instead. the indian child plays in 60 minutes on dw, ah, was up to date, don't miss highlighted. d w program online, d, w dot com highlight sometimes the seed is all you need to allow big ideas to grow. we're bringing environmental conservation to life with learning
7:30 am
like global ideas. we will show you how climate change and environmental conservation is taking shape around the world and how we can all make a difference. knowledge grows through sharing, download it now. for me the news food is the fuel of our existence that are nearly a 1000000000 of us on the planet to be that each of us need food every day. by the way, we get food has been problematic for the last many decades. industrial food production go to auction has severely negative impact on the environment. how can we course correction out so that our future generations don't go hungry. that's what we talk
7:31 am
about today. hello, welcome to eco india. let's start to the sho in west wing goal here of food production is not just about feeding the population. it's also about giving ruined women a bach out of poverty. a lack of education has often held women back, but a local organization is empowering them to set up their order mostly businesses. let's see how the the life is hard for 21 year old grow. gina, how good it is for the most of the women and as with the, grew up for married young and the forced to turn their back on the education even if my father's income was low. so i wasn't able to study beyond class 9, but didn't have all sisters. i don't one but i father's income wasn't enough to
7:32 am
support them. that's 5 either. all married or it is it the women here in chucky, invest, been gone, are responsible for the house and the church. they're financially dependent on their husband. when money is tight, they bought funds from private credit for like just like father my b. b. she used to vetting jewelry as collateral, although really she never wanted to borrow money into cova cielo. you're not going when i was in a tough financial situation. i did pawn off my jewelry and haven't been able to release it. we've also heard other people around us pond off the jewelry and gold, but haven't yet been able to buy it back either. sure why. you know that the one that they had they bought in the it is a widespread problem in this region. phase of the nothing he set up the 0 foundation, which is trying to help improve women's lives and especially with my dentist,
7:33 am
they usually give women's or not men. however, the women are mostly educated and don't know how much they've been learned or how much they need to repay the because they have not been educated. they aren't able to calculate properly or do any kind of account. but then it just kind of exploitation that goes on here. probably the exploitation of the situation changed when of the nother began to reach out to them. the estimate that just one and 5 of them you can read and write. and that's what organizations, which is finance, run natalie, to donations and scientific project zeroes in on what number i need in order to. so we make arrangements for their learning, particularly banashali language for mathematics and english mathematics, which is going to look it up in the 1st age is the education. and then we implement
7:34 am
different types of income generating projects and come to national different but it could implement. none of these are one such projects. the 0 foundation helps the local set up self help groups. they are then able to leave land from farms. they buy fresh to prevent damage and new current laws making yields more reliable. this way, they can also avoid using testified in contrast to bigger nurseries in the region. road you know how to now work. in addition to her normal housework boost and then the 1st started to know 3, we didn't know much about gardening and how to grow the plans. there was another nursery next to us. we'll be back to it and taught ourselves how to care for the plan. 50 women for groups financing activity to micro credit loans from a cooperative bank in the region of the nothing foundation helps them gain access to legitimate fun financial transition. their financial transactions are quite
7:35 am
transparent to the savings of banking and loans done to the cooperative department through corporate department for ruder. this is a better method plus they won't need external funds betterment that the government already has a lot of funds that we can use here on monday. and we don't need money from external agencies fund like the vending. so seedlings of different varieties, of course, are in the, in june lemon. coconut and mag, oh, then the sound, the young plans to the bigger local work as well. you will income stream to their family back. i've been able to construct a concrete house with the proper roof gate rules in the window and a bathroom. i've also been able to buy my son's textbooks on time and enroll him in
7:36 am
a private. but i wouldn't be the chuckle over there. just look at it in the brown book or delta sediment deposit left in the river tributaries makes the soil sufficient for the climate change is making the particularly vulnerable to storm which are increasing and it's trans. i cycle on last year had a very serious impact for a coup status issue. i'm friends, zacko and i'm fun was a serious problem and has badly damaged the land and plant blinds were in the 0 foundation donated 200000 rupees around 2200 years to help really with the destruction and future, the women will pick channels between the seedlings to avoid water damage during heavy rain. more than $300.00 women in the region belong to a total 9 self help groups. it might have added to their workload,
7:37 am
but owning their own living in the nurseries makes them proud and more independent . as we just saw, the local organic food production that's helping women find their freedom is the exception rather than the default, which is a consistent dependence on industrialized food production has massively decreased the genetic diversity of plant crops, genetic we're, i, to ensure that our planet as a whole trice can feed bags help and bringing back some of the diversity. let's find out. so the earth produces a rich variety of plants adapted to wide ranging habitats around the globe. there are around 400000 species known to science. less than 10 percent, our edible corn rice, and we account for more than half the global food supply me ever
7:38 am
since humans began adopting a sedentary lifestyle. they've collected seeds to plant the 1st crops were cultivated over 10000 years ago by farmers and mesopotamia. now modern day iraq and turkey some 200000 varieties of we alone have developed from that early stock. having a wide range of crops and genetic diversity with each variety, helps to secure our food supplying all the greater the diversity, the smaller the risk of wheat or some other staple being wiped out worldwide by a single pest or disease. that's why c, banks are so important, the oldest isn't st. petersburg and dates back to 894. today the seed bank and gardens labor and germany boasts one of the world's most diverse collections. many
7:39 am
of the seeds stored here are found nowhere else. these are the large seed archives have now been established all over the world. ah, they each collect various seeds and plants from different regions. many are then stored at the local feed volt on the norwegian island of fitz barragan's. but out in the fields, the turned in torrents left diversity. during the 20th century alone, an estimated 75 percent of crop diversity was lost. according to the un food and agriculture organization. the reasons are many and varied. ah. the industrialization of agriculture men, crops suddenly had to fulfill different requirements. they have to produce the high yield, all right, then at the same time and not suffer damage when being harvested by heavy machinery . our modern,
7:40 am
globalized trade network means fruit and vegetables. now need to stay fresh while being transported over long distances. very few varieties can live up to those demands. the range of produce in our supermarkets is deceiving, the tomatoes and cucumbers may look different, but genetically they're very similar. this genetic poverty is not without risk. in the 1970s. for example, a virus destroyed one quarter of the rice harvest across the whole of asia. it was only through cross breeding the rice, with a wild variety that the crop became resistant to the virus. thus rescuing the world's single most important food stable. for thousands of years, farmers have collected their own feats and swapped them amongst themselves to improve their harvest and develop new varieties. but in recent
7:41 am
decades, steadily declining number of seed companies has been selling and increasingly limited range of sorts. 95 percent of cabbage varieties, for example, have already disappeared. the companies designed their own crops and secure them with a patent they supply 2 thirds of the global market. often farmers are unable to collect seeds and are required to buy certain fertilizers and pesticides. but a growing number of people worldwide are seeking to reverse this trend by increasing crop diversity and distributing seeds without patents. a nonprofit organization in austria called asha noah or noah's ark, collect seeds of old endangered varieties. it propagates the scenes and then passes them onto a supermarket chain which sells both the seeds and their produce. industrialized food production is often synonymous with the use of pesticides. a
7:42 am
cocktail of chemical substances used to protect plans from best. we now know that the substances are detrimental to our health and the health of the environment, our report on exploring how feasible it is to produce food without chemical pesticides. ah, everybody hates a pest. and since the dawn of agriculture, we've been trying to keep them away from all. the ancient greek and the gypsies communities, drain the caps, and even domesticated mongol says to keep locust and rodents away from the serial. then put the some european communities were more inspired from my bribes to flew. some tried to keep the gardens and firms in bloom with the right music the me. but even in the
7:43 am
20th century, we saw ludicrous metal the pest control. like in china, where the entire country declared war on mosquitoes flights sparrows and rats killing millions of each keeping. that's the way in whatever way possible has been necessary to avoid famines and increase food availability. but best control really blew up in the global north and the post war pesticide, iraq web chemicals to synthesize from organic compounds and use widely. for the 1st time, there's a huge leap forward as crop you shot up and the developing world had its so called green revolution, chemical fertilizers and pesticides flooded the market. and how yielding speeds began to be used across the global south. some estimates it saved or 100000000 lives in countries that were on the verge of a food crisis. for a while, economies prosper as more people were fed. it seemed like
7:44 am
a magical solution had been found. literally, however, this method of farming has seen a lot of critics yield is getting more per unit of area of any given crop. now, you can do that by improve the genetics of the crop and then throwing chemicals of the ground. and for a while that might work in the long term and what you end up with is causing all kinds of sol chemistry problems. and so for example, in punjab, in india right now, in the, at the center of the green revolution use the soil facility thomas. thing you one intrinsic problem is the way in which pesticides work you have the thing that is called the best a site threat. neil, the more pesticides you apply, the more you need to apply. it's almost like a junkie you get to it. now the more you take, the more the left effective, it becomes an a more you need to apply events. the effect to have been to korea, studying hope was and pass and how did react and respond to pesticides. is like
7:45 am
evolving resistance to, to an antibiotic. know if, you know, they are set these to some extent, but then eventually, especially you abused them. then you a ball resistance to, to them the same thing happen, which is they have goals, resistance to the best, the side store, the more apply, the more resistant the population be calm and suspected 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 into the ocean, the kill of large populations of wild life from shocks to totals and wales, like in the gulf of mexico, dead zone. not to mention the frank pesticides also causes pharma problems from
7:46 am
skin rashes, to long term lung damage. and the residues that remain on produce can cause long term health conditions among the people that eat the fruits and vegetables that's of negative. but providence of industrial farming say alternatives either too expensive to scale worldwide, or use too much land, especially as i remaining forest need protection no more than ever me. but is this still true? organic is the umbrella term for anything without chemical pesticides? regulation for what isn't, isn't organic value by country, but generally fallen line with natural biological systems and protecting water and biodiversity. organic farming methods can include introducing natural predators to keep as a way of doing multiple crops to improve in health and even using organic
7:47 am
pesticides that are generally less toxic chemicals. this does lead to more lab needed for agriculture and less overall, the jewelry still out and where the organic food is actually much more nutritious. but what is thought of is that organic vegetables contain for fuel pesticide residues and therefore healthy. but there are lots of gray areas. organic farms 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 if and but how did the to compare. we had looked at 40 years of all the studies then comparing organic with conventional farming recognized. and his team found that while conventional firms produce 10 to 20 percent higher yields,
7:48 am
organic farming is not only better for the environment boss, and more surprisingly, it was more profitable significantly. so. and part of that reason is because organic farmers get a premium for their food, they get more money over that 40 year period between 752002015. the premium average about 30 percent more high price with 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 largely started to fall in the last 10 years
7:49 am
around the world. but do we need to cut down more flores can organic yield, sustain the words our saw, the show very can be food convincingly. that given the yields that are produced in the, in organic agriculture and the amount of food that is needed to satisfy the, the nutritional requirement of the human population. that it is possible with organic agriculture to produce enough food to be by many other studies have come to the same conclusion. but with one major caveat, dias if people is only vague and food, 100 percent of the population could be fed on organics using just the land we already farm on medicaid in ism would gives us a 94 percent success rate and
7:50 am
a western style need to have died, give this a 15 percent chance. there isn't the big factor as well. inefficiency, right now of told of all the food we 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 corn and most gone harvested in the u. s goes directly to feed animals to be boned as fuels . why less than the chemists enter the food system the entirety we could feed the world with just organic food, especially with a more plant based diet and more efficient farming systems. but do we need to get
7:51 am
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 best size 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 practice safe or growing cover crops. they should be supported for longer crop rotations to help them do it. they should
7:52 am
be supported to convert to these more integrated and organic systems. the best thing you can do with the individual is to join a movement. whether that movement is the international peasant movement live your campus, tina, which has, you know, hundreds of millions of landless workers, farmers, peasants, and supporters around the world. or whether it's some of the other movements making or magic calls. the systemic change in the, the way that we operate, the movement to ditch chemicals is growing. and between farmers, consumers understand 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 feat. let's see how he
7:53 am
does it. the me typically traditional indian meet drive on bread. so with a bit idea of side dishes, each made off a number of ingredients. but as india have been, i so do has a way it's people eat meals have become faster, easier and much less diverse. but many ingredients even being flown in from around the world. a study found that around a code of what indians eat, come from abroad, artists and got to know what h komatt is the force behind movement to save in the genus food stuff. he has founded on 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, but the ingredients become very less. so people,
7:54 am
when they're made in the peak season build, adds 15 to 20 kind of hubs and greens in one country. 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 pool. again, it is filled with interest in crops that a hyper local malware this squashed, i thought used as a vegetable and cooking is a walking guard. we had to break open the spot now the pressure is inside. it is of the seats. so you see, can you at least spend gotcha, because it's a high limit i think and it can be out on like 5 to 6 hours. it can feed like to 3 families, as well as good using foods with a better taste and clever feats or talk to produce more nutritious fruits and vegetables. many edible plants once grew around the village,
7:55 am
but villages have lost the skills to have is them the current generation doesn't know what is edible and what is not the most of the guns going for us. and we went to the, the mission going back, the landscape is not clean anymore. you see a lot of $3.00, a lot of construction may have acres 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 months. 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 shared with you today have menu. think about who they are, food comes from and how we could make it more environmentally friendly as he will
