a reflection of a turbulent history. the cities, the mosaic of different people and languages. iran's mountains reveal unparalleled beauty as well. yes. the scenery is magnificent. the people are warm in acquisition as optional. ah, a special look at a special country. iran from above. starts december 27th on d, w. ah ah, ah, ah, not everything is what it seems. just take these grapes a sweet treat. what's so bad about that?

but have you ever thought about what goes into producing them? what sprayed on them, where the workers are treated well in the supply chain or even how much the production of transport of your food could contribute to climate change. so is it possible to eat without a guilty conscience? font, a fork, greening, or food? that's our topic today on made. even the sweetest treat can leave a bitter taste in the mouth when making it involves child labor. for the 1st time in 20 years, the number of child labor as has risen, according to unicef and the international labor organization. the number has gone up to a 160000000 worldwide with most working in agriculture, including in the cocoa harvest, altogether bar of chocolate into your hands. some companies and producing nations are fighting back. but are they going far enough? christina becker investigates a tender, creamy delicious. that's probably the 1st thing that comes to mind when you

think of chocolate. but what about child labor and the exploitation of cocoa farmers? the chocolate is so delicious, that all too often we tend to forget about that. more than 1600000 children broken cocoa plantations in ghana in the ivory coast. the 2 countries groped 60 percent of the world's cocoa. they also provide beans for the german and european market. the children have to work to help reduce my chocolate bar. it's not out of the question. does that make me criminal if he can chocolate, a crime? yes, says journalist turn funded cooking. he even turned himself into the police for buying and eating chocolate. i realized that i needed to take my responsibility as a consumer, and after talking to one of touch, finest professors in criminal law,

i decided to prosecute myself buying an eating chocolate. in the end, the cord quitted his find the cook and then launched his own chocolate. brent tony's chuckle only aims to produce chocolate without slavery and child labor, not an easy mission. even big chocolate companies have failed so far. mendez, it worked so hard, but a situation hasn't really changed much in the last 20 years. a lot of the hog and anger protocol, i'll sign back in 2001 that's an industry wide goals to eliminate child labor from the cocoa industry. since then, none of these deadlines have really been matter or had simply elapsed. and child labor is still a very big problem in the industry. nichols, probably monday child labor even increased in the last decade. this is not what you would expect in a booming industry. annual a global sales or over $130000000000.00. but why is it so hard to put an end to

child labor? email hides dagger the majority of cocoa farmers live in poverty or even extreme poverty. so farmers rely on their own children as unpaid labor because they can't afford to pay workers. if you want to end the child labor problem, you have to find a solution to the poverty problem. local crisis aggravate the issue. only 6 percent of what we spend in germany on a chocolate bar actually goes to the copper farmers themselves. on average, the $3000000.00 cocoa farmers in gone and ivory coast are less than a dollar a day. that is under the extreme poverty line. most of the profit goes to chocolate companies and tweeter chains, but gone ivory coast i fight and back. both countries have added a living income premium of $400.00 per ton of cocoa to the price. they charge it.

he said he would. we welcome this initiative as things stand that the governments have done much more for cocoa farmers on the price issue than all the chocolate companies and certifiers combined with whatever ivory coast had to reduce the producers price this year. the higher cost of being scared of some buyers and global demand has also dropped. another challenge in the fight against child labor is determining the origin of the cocoa b mm hm. it's like that there is still the issue of the lack of traceability in the supply chain. every chocolate company wants to know where they coco comes from and we all need to concern ourselves with the problems that exist there and run. the good news. there is a growing number of programs to fly child labor, the bad. they only cover 15 percent of the production process. that leaves me with

a distinctly better after taste. lou. one thing you or i can do is to vote with our wallets. the same is happening with meat here in europe. production is seen king as consumers change their eating habits globally. the picture is different. me production is leaped 4 times since 1961 with over $80000000000.00 animal slaughtered each year to put food on our tables. not everyone has the choice to do without meat and the diets. but for those you have the ethics of killing animals, as well as the massive contribution of meat production to climate change are a serious concern. luckily, there are alternatives. it's no secret. the food industry is a climate killer producing more than a quarter of all c o 2 emissions worldwide. that's more than the emissions of cas planes and ships combined. farming accounts for 70 percent of our consumption of fresh water and 50 percent of all habitable land is used by the agriculture

industry. we have to, we see our system and our phone environment we're kronos are being produced. and soon we figure out that there is a need to do more better with less the meat industry is one of the worst for the climate. kettle produced methane. it's greenhouse gas, which is $28.00 times more potent than c o 2. but not only the climate suffering animal welfare also falls victim tall, craving for meat. that's why the international n g o proven which has made it one of their goals to reduce the consumption of animal products for the mom mere transport. and it's become more and more clear how much these animals, which we call livestock suffer, m that site and unceasingly. these are animals, little bread under the worse conditions, the sole purpose of becoming meet on our later telephone billing and the world's

population is forecast to grow to almost 10000000000 by 2050. and more people means more food. in fact, up to 60 percent more food might be needed. that's not good news for all planet, but there are environmentally friendly alternatives by 5th, 5, for example, that researchers at oxford university calculated that a plant based diet. specifically, they see a 2 footprint of a plant based diet, like it could reduce food emissions by up to 73 percent dr. watson for gom having out of and can and the message seems to be catching on. meet consumption in the global north has been declining for years. one reason is the development of meet alternatives. it's a market that's been growing steadily in western countries. the n d o hopes that by 2040 the consumption of animal products will drop by 50 percent.

when you're hungry schnell, if you look at how fast the market is growing, especially for vegan and plant, please need alternatives than maybe we're not so far away from this goal. any more . so we'll amplified vic. many consumers are now giving more thought to what they buy, the paying more attention to the ecological and ethical effects their choices had. but many people still crave the taste of meat and have a hard time giving it up. that's where meet alternatives come in. the traditional german meat processing company, including by the mueller picked up on the trend early on the company has been focusing on meet substitutes since 2015 with success ah foot in one at your lee in july for the 1st time we sold more alternative products, meet and sausages, flash with less palm and demand seems to be growing all the time

that nancy sh julian and you look at studies and predictions about the world market and the german market. then you see the german market. is that about 215000000 euros. jordan oil, whole, the prognosis for 2030 is that will be at almost $30000000000.00 euros by then. i see us with by yeah, from fastpitch 1000000 away. we'll eat. it seems like we may well be in the midst of a food revolution. one of the biggest weakness would of course be the climate but animal welfare and our own health would benefit from a change in diet to the world health organization want in 2015, that processed meat and ret meeks could be linked to set in kansas. but what about these meet substitutes? are they really healthier once again, come on these in these and i've not even do it on the whole these products have

a lot of benefits. studies have shown that red meat is quite problematic, and it appears to be linked to a higher risk of colorectal cancer, especially if you eat a lot of it in general, and you need to pay attention to the ingredients used in these alternative products . sometimes they use quite a few additives. it stabilizers amal safire's, flavorings, sometimes even flavor enhancers that harvey a home, and i thought, oh gosh mach flushed alchemy. so consumers need to take a close look at the meet alternatives on offer. but we know that cutting back on meat would bring many benefits to all health animal welfare and the environment. it's time to rethink the way we eat and change is in our hands. one of my guilty pleasures is cheese and it seems a lot of europeans agree. after all, e u residents eat the most cheese in the world. at 9500000 tons in

2021. followed by the us with just under 6000000. brazil is far behind with around 800000 china just 430000. but as we've learned where animals are involved in food production, there are carbon emissions to consider, to get to know the industry better dw cashed. i nika, had the enviable to ask of becoming a cheese maker for the day. welcome to seize paradise. this is where the magic topping is created. that makes every dish just better. literally, i challenge you to name a dish that it can't improve. mackenzie, she is on keep that she can do and life is on fred. i think loads of it ever since. i tried cutting down on me to make cheese, you need milk and to make milk,

you need animals. the emit loads of greenhouse gas emissions and use lots and lots of water. i mean, i really love cheese, but we need to talk about it. how hard is this piece of art freely on the environment? do i need to stop eating chief and how the alternative any better? and the best way to find out make some cheese yourself. cheese makers, paul, and you'll have agreed to let me look over their shoulder for the day. paul used to work for large scale dairy operations, but gave it up to create his own cheese. and here comes the milk. we just need a couple of minutes for about 250 leaders. how many liters do you actually need to make one kilogram? and say that depends on the chaise recipe. so it also depends on the composition of the mill. we're quite lucky here. we are working with milk from jessica's these cares pretty small,

but very high solid. so we get much better yields. when we say if we were using holstein, for example, but as a general rule for something like cheddar or gouter, we'd probably be looking at a 10 percent yield. so for every one killer, teasley, 10 meters and the amount of mill that is use is actually extremely important because depending on which study you're looking at between 80 and 95 percent of cheese as greenhouse gas emissions from the mill. so the more not to use the worse for the planet. more than half of those emissions come from the farming process. because cows and other mil producing animals fart and breathe out methane again, that is $84.00 times more potent than c o. 2 at heating the planet. but milk from different kind of animals have different carbon footprints, cow and buffalo milk have the lowest with 2.8 and 3.4 kilograms of c o 2 per

kilogram of milk. goat and she milks impact is more than double that with 5.2 and 8.4 kilograms of c. o. 2, herb. so mega animals, pollute the planet. less per kilogram of milk. that's because cows or buffaloes just produce more milk than a goes or shaped, for example. and because all these animals are ruminants and pump out methane, jesus covered footprint is actually bigger than that of poultry and even pork. more emissions than meat that is absolutely insane. but anyway, now that we got the milk, we need to heat it up and at some bacteria, the go to date turning this into a gummy socrates. and let me tell you it's boiling in here. this chase is particularly happy if a room is a little bit too hot for the chief breaker. so if you're having a hard time when you feel like you're in a sauna history isn't going to love it.
