3:30 am
we are going back and try to increase the test again of the tomato jeroen she, rus wants to prove to us that durable tomatoes can also be delicious. taste ok. like a little bit. we did not of the tomato need to have the days because if you had all the voice and assault you don't need me. i tell you, i know what to make to make this is ok. ok. there is the worse the amount in full was the ones, this is ok. what we're looking more and more is it to have a good color? good firmness and a good taste and the, the nutrients intimate or steal. it's a small player in the market for cooking and it is hybrid reading. the main reason
3:31 am
for the loss of nutrients and tomatoes to meet with me. southern france says, when is the last traditional seat produces and from lives there generally does not produce hybrid 2 monitors. he creates what he calls old varieties. this is how we obtain the seats. the seed stay on the bottom, and the skin that floats to the tongue was to float, deal to everyone used to know this technique of producing seeds for themselves. after cycle, farmers knew that the next harvest depended on the seeds north and they were very careful when producing them for the next one. something a few, a to tomatoes yourself. but the seats were always the most important thing. most him up today know farmer produces them any more?
3:32 am
yeah. the, the big companies do that from pl. dying tradition. yes. almost on orthodoxy. i teach the in this greenhouse leak cultivates only the old farm varieties 100 percent. nature effectiveness sample. it seems a bit wild and chaotic because i only have a small area of land to work with won't be to make the most of the space from i squeezed the tomatoes in close together, only working with soil and without chemical simple you that you no, i don't use any 3rd party products at all in this greenhouse. i grow about 20 different varieties of tomatoes on that. what do they all have in common to that?
3:33 am
i know hybrid by, you know, cross pollination but cosmo. but do these old varieties contain more nutrients than modern hybrids? we decide to analyze them both these looks tomatoes and here is a similar looking hybrid from the supermarket. we send both off on the same day to state laboratory to evaluate the ingredients was 3 weeks later the results are available in the case of the hybrid tomato, all 5 values they compared a much lower the hybrid contains 63 percent less calcium. 29 percent less magnesium and 72 percent less bittman c.
3:34 am
the hybrid contains less than half of the anti oxidant like a teen. and less than half the health promoting secondary plant compounds of policy knows then the farm is tomorrow. is consistent with the idea that there is a relationship between taste and nutrient content. this was published by professor clay at the university of florida. and he made the observation in his paper that many of the flavor components of tomatoes are derived from human nutrients. when you eat a tomato that has 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 nation. it's consistent with all of the other evidence breeders select for you is,
3:35 am
but they're also looking for other economic traits. and in the process of making that change, they also cause a change in the chemistry of the tomato, lima, the parent company of his era is a global player in the seat business. in paris, the journalist, a lease leasing, meets the vice president for lima calls international affairs. you are part of the management of a globally operating c producer. have you ever analyzed the nutrient content of your tomatoes? don't vote on that. so it depends on the growing conditions, not on the variety of value to as so this problem is not a concern of yours or 70. i didn't say that like the nutritional quality of our products was a very important issue for us. the value didn't come in. i said he's a junior at the ice on israel. we met professor robina, very do you know him?
3:36 am
we say it's because i said, you know, he invented a tomato that last 3 weeks and we're yes news. i think he explained to us that the longevity gene blocks the ripening process of the proved we got affects the development of the nutrients you look monday new female high stand by watch. i told you post. i think the tomato growers have the greatest influence on the ines, the tomato, and the responsibility of dealing with this is there, as they have the most significant impact baskets. if you want to present f one hybrid, have another huge advantage. we'll see it, suppliers, their seeds can only be used. one me if you can see from the tree of a hybrid to the next 2 genes becomes a game of chance. the next gen ration may produce tiny small or rapidly busing fruit. this is why farmers has to buy new tomato seats every year.
3:37 am
the profit of all market for produces like his era in israel. and the small seats are incredibly expensive. how much is one kilowatt feet? so this kind of to me to just kind of tomato today can reach the 400000 euro. what for kilogram will seats. what? 400000 euro or more? yes, you can buy a house with this. i've heard that to me to do more capital gain of all the yes, the margin or our margins are highest and we can get into the middle. why? because it's expensive, expensive seats, as there is also demands. so way to yeah, it's a good business for us if it's not, we don't hear full 100000 euros for one kilo of these hilo, cherry tomato seats. normal tomatoes cost around $60000.00 euros per kilo. more
3:38 am
even than gold. and when you produced the total today in $22.00 different countries all over the world and which kind of country like israel in thailand like and chilling with spain in india in many places. oh. ready seats that are more valuable than gold. ready produced and no way to countries where labor costs little ah, the next closest cool is in the this is the reason for the long. so we'll see an investigation by the dutch human rights organization. a reason they claim that 16 percent of the workers in the seat business children under 14 years of age.
3:39 am
ah, for example, in the indian states have kind of tucker the remote villages are among the poorest in the country. the climate and stuff india is perfect for growing vegetables every year. 160000 kilos of tomato seats are exported from here. the full global play is in the seed. markets have a presence in india. b a says dupel bio monsanto. syngenta and lima robbie ranch worked on behalf of razor in this region and fights against the exploitation of child labor. i took the day before yesterday around 12000000 children in india work and was
3:40 am
condition since 2016. it has been forbidden for children under 14 to work now and then we observed from a distance and count the worker. no, i didn't see how big or small they are. randy says that the seeds of hybrid tomatoes are mostly collected by children. many children were working, but now the harvest was over. the fields are almost empty. but in the greenhouse, we can see human silly with this company works for the multinational corporation syngenta faced in switzerland about 10 women and girls of pruning tomato plants. when the
3:41 am
smallest of the girls season and other workers signals that she should squat down how long are you up to the 5th grade news? i know you don't go to school anymore. no. how old are you? she's 17 and you find me 18. why don't you go to school? there are, and i'm here only the primary school. how long have you been working? for 3 years. she started before me. it was in a month since when do you work? since she left school at 11,
3:42 am
this girl is supposed to be 17. we all find it hard to believe. the syngenta purchases that seats from around $25000.00 mostly small hold firm is out india wheels. this was multinational how it feels about child labor. the answer sounds good, but it's non specific. syngenta compliance with all labor laws. this and gentle fair labor program promotes decent working conditions under poses child labor children cheap labor. but there is another reason why they are so often used and see production as the author of the report soiled seeds knows to well, let me re then this is an independent
3:43 am
research and has been researching child labor in the hybrid seat production for 15 years. the hybridization activity, where the, where the delicate request, a lot of the children are preferred because they can do this is a pretty to activities that really foster them. and also there will be and we can see who children can do the work for 3 or. busy that is a kind of calculation farm house and v d and and fast. that farm is depend on child labor because they are poorly paid by the corporations. the 5 most are scribbling. it will lead to have a good profit margin in the how to have good
3:44 am
and good mandation to the workers. the margin will be ready, nominal, or something that would be a new margin for the fall. but not any children are exploited. what is evident in common taka only women work in the seed, producing tomato feel. the farmer tillman explains this to us on his farm. go with the other, go down to 4 who h included. we have 3 varieties. h m, close is a subsidiary of luma. the french c producer has hundreds of farms under contract in the region. she cross pollinating the plans right now bent 8 hours
3:45 am
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 model on the minimum are expensive, we only hire them for cutting and to carry loads. they called $300.00 rupees per day. ok, women work for $200.00 the daily ways of less than 2 years. 50 is illegal. even in india's income, that's the minimum weight in agriculture is $350.00 rupees. around 4 years a day these women only received 60 percent of the legal minimum wage. why do you work here? because there is no other work right now. normally we work in the right and harvest,
3:46 am
right. but at the moment there is nothing but we can accept. pollination can is this work difficult? and again i couldn't hear yes. my eyes are so are because we are so concentrated and i have a bad back out here. it's hard work, but we also have to earn a living one. we get $102.00 euros kilo of tomato fees. if we on $26.00 heroes more so we could pay the women what they're asking for oil and still have a profit. i'll go get over the phone is breaking the law because they don't get an additional $26.00 euros per kilo limit because sells to see it in europe for an average of $60000.00 euros patina. all the company is aware of this illegal practice. we visit an indian location belonging to h m a close with the hidden cameras. at
3:47 am
1st, it doesn't look good to god's game for once of office. but for the 1st 5 bus, we make a documentary about the in the, it's telling me it's going to particularly offense, all walking on as we come from france, like the parent company, lamar grove, it seems to open doors, were not to, to manage it out. the man phones his head office. okay. we got ready to to lose a little bit, but the team is surprised with
3:48 am
a sudden offer of famous indian hospitality. thanks. you know from okay we'll we're in. this is where the c drive before they are at full. so let me finish doing the interview, the manager admit, he knows that his contract farmers are paying their workers below the legal minimum . wage voices is salary for one worker to look for it. sometimes it has no less than 2 years 50. the manager goes on to reveal that the company doesn't even pay its own people
3:49 am
the minimum wage. how much are they? are in a tim closed from maybe maybe just over 3 years. no one has a now to know how much the seeds are worth in europe. what are the name of it to make it a good number? we should not be in need be back in paris, definitely mark on know about these practices. and i still going to say, are you familiar with this record soil seeds? i have it here. yes, i don't think it was written in 2015 and examined the problems of child labor and the exploitation of women a wash and here on page 6,
3:50 am
it says not the proportion of children under 14 years of age is between 10.5 and 16.3 percent of all field workers are working for lima. upon yes, was because, 1st of all, i can assure you clearly and unequivocally, there is no child labor at the lima grand sites to 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 either? probably the same procedure. so we've reduced these from 10 or 15 percent to less than one percent. all measures are being taken to achieve going to korea, which measures your contractual contractual measures to ban child labor to for we continue to educate, inform, raise awareness, and if necessary, impose sanctions to prevent child labor, lima grant, as much as possible. thank if you're supposed to hide this awful negative too
3:51 am
much as possible. hi, this child labor is a very serious issue. we have a 0 tolerance level for the high call 0. let me see. can we ever be 100 percent? certain in a country like india, probably not of every month, but our determination is unwavering. madame, only some companies that work for you, we have med women who are paid below the minimum wage against $200.00 rupees per day. instead of 330. what do you say to that? come up there. so i don't agree with this assertion. it's would that quality to come up with something else? you claim that the indian guy and toys received the legal minimum wage of a $330.00 rupees per day. in reality, lima pay that's workers. $300.00 a month manager has actually confirmed this. lisa le, wherever we operate,
3:52 am
lima grand employees are paid according to the legal minimum wage, ohio. and i take issue with your allegation of how much it is almost impossible to avoid hybrid plans. i in 202060 percent of the world's commercial feed, owned by full chemical giant in bio monsanto. don't do po and bio diversity is not an issue with these corporations into 9 an expert wound the world about this development, alleviate issue tests to until 2014 was the us special ref. what's her on the right
3:53 am
to 75 percent of whatever he has been. as a result of the pressure edge was option of uniform improved right. we visit tissue to in brussels. me works in an international team of experts for sustainable food systems. his message, the wolf suff, is led from hunger, then from malnutrition, sheaf, alamo see the figure is alarming drunk. we have already lost 75 percent. and plan for writing bio diversity is not just a luxury from bot. net booklet also helps to secure global food supplies routine. we don't know what the future and climate change will bring to you, which are harmful insects and diseases willing bessler plants. one of those, when we need the natural reserves of diverse plant world,
3:54 am
if we're to cope with unforeseeable threat on the want, your marquee should be the plant business goes hand in hand with a pesticide business. 3 of the 4 world lead is producing seeds also produce pesticides, bio monsanto. del depole and syngenta gong. the farmers are always offered a complete package deal. they are told that they will only get a good harvest with this pesticide or in that fertilizer of exhibition. for example, some seats are develop that are resistant to certain active substances. here he was at home. some seeds unlike the trojan horse, full agro chemicals. more than $4000000.00 tons of pesticides are sprayed on the every year. at some point, we will all eat the same thing from duck our to miami, from paris to bangkok is that tomorrow's world. for thousands of years we had
3:55 am
a large quantity and variety of c, d and d seeds in year after year with the harvest by farmers that were using methods a goal. plenty that would now be considered today as being traditional issues will deducted another point. him all threat julie specialist companies have begun to perform this process of selection and reproduction. which in turn has put seeds on the market that can produce large quantities of genetically modified agricultural produce equal genetic more. you don't think that if your distribution of commercial sales, which all rights are owned by a handful of major trans national companies, what it means that agriculture will no longer be sustainable. for many small farmers in developing countries. therefore, to something we're going to see a gradual worldwide to selection of small scale far like you to be an initial will get the increasingly,

consumers and foam is of her testing. they learned 3 seeds, natural seeds that are not owned for the not agra, chemical corporations. in the sense of friends, resistance movement is gaining popularity. socio still cocoa clearly is situated in a remote fatty unknown, ga, ga, test, the nonprofit organization. the aim is to protect traditional plans and forgotten vegetable varieties. the seed collection includes over $2400.00 vegetable varieties from bays, cucumbers to orange with chart for 15 years. here we go for quite a range of color. it's amazing to, to the standardization of agriculture. species have fallen down a genetic funnels. most people, for example, who thinks with charles a green and white and rolling galaxy. but there's an incredible diversity of swift
3:57 am
chance all of the colors of the rainbow that we don't c, normally i need to do the cookie. lee has also started a seats without frontiers initiative. me. this is where we ship the parcel for the solar campaign feeds without frontiers. every year we spend hundreds of packages worldwide. this is feedback from some of the projects we supported from where virtually everywhere india, central and south america, asia, the countries where the population is dominated by the agro, chemical and food industry, multi nationalism. as a result, they sometimes quickly lose all their natural varieties and sometimes in just one or 2 growing things in the sale. by saving the old, arise and bike, rubbing traditional plans. the farmers and consumers have the chose to choose an
3:58 am
