5:30 pm
with i've already done the homework when it comes to jermel beers and of course i always look in the eyes for chairs, but perhaps the biggest on the new hobby of mine, i'm no longer approved. i love to be in the new to bear a person there, a comfort when you're feeling altogether, you'll realize that culture is just another way of living. are you ready to meet the job and then join me, right? just do it on b, w. ah, with from the gardens of insured to my support team you to the field of modern the industrial farms we've been producing food for millennia, but to these backbones of consumption and production of harming people and the planet on this addition of eco india, we explore efforts under route, who help fix appropriate food system. hello and welcome. i'm some of that
5:31 pm
food waste is one example of just how broken the system is. why millions of people remain under fed. more than one 3rd of the food produced global goes to west urine, india and estimated 40 percent is discounted. we visited and deli based start up that's rescuing food destined from the dump by transforming it into feed for animals. it's feeding dying on his dairy farm, and am bol the state of her young farm? jaundra more the husband and the business for 40 years. he's mindful that his cows get new just died. the hell didn't stronger the animals, the better and more abundant. the milk eat is about the yeah, the still feed them gaining, but now we have access to
5:32 pm
a good feed supply while we get more milk using it and it keeps our animals heli. it said on a lot of any of this for the, the suspicion it's made from food waste processed by the daily based startup, gracefully the company collect leftover food that it gets free of charge. and that would otherwise be discarded from $700.00 locations. and more than 50 cities across india, the company sees doc mix it the largest food recycler in the country. food waste is one of the largest weights v segments in india. and if you see the last 50 years, there has been work that has happened in plastics, recycling and electronic waste recycling. or when it comes to food, which does not in any innovation the last 30 years, the solution, the most popular solution to food waste that it, that is like, ah, most accepted form is composting or by i guess. but composting was an
5:33 pm
unsatisfactory solution for snack manufacturer. to be honest, the company began producing healthy snacks from vegetables. 4 years ago. demand is high and as production has increased, so to has the quantity of its nutrient backed graps. if i talk about, during our initial days, od says though volume was not that high. so the visitors were very live. but now they're of your playing in the volumes. now they're 5 percent expose and is there enough volume and which has to be recycled or, you know, mitigated or maybe put into the best use that vidrental the company now passes its damaged goods on to westlake. that saved does not produce a disposal costs and supplies whistling with more of the raw materials. it needs for its feed production. newtons of potatoes are sold directly to farmers as big
5:34 pm
feed. most other food waste is dried and ground, done packaged and deliver to animal feed produce when the ones that i for the facility it, you know, it is offloaded. you know, we way it up by category to make sure that we are accurately aware to what quantity of what category we have are that is punched into the inventory that we receive. and depending on the nutritional formulation of the, of the product that we have picked, we would decide what is the end goal, where that goes into cattle, poultry, aqua, or swine? ah, and then we prepared formulation mixes. but the recycling of leftover food is still the exception in india, even though it saves money and protect the $1.00 most risk to simply left wrought by the decomposes it consumes oxygen and releases maintain a powerful greenhouse gas, or g, a g for short. oh, so for example, if food lawson based was a country,
5:35 pm
it would have been the 3rd largest carbon emitter like gm into only after china and usa. so if you look at the problem, it's huge and there is a lot of potential to reduce a food loss and vs and all the emissions and everything that goes into its input food produces on suddenly to blame for the mountains of food list, 40 percent of the food produced in india is loss due to an efficient supply chains . huge quantity the spoil as a result of long transport ropes. an inadequate refrigeration social habits. also play a role. play example in india in some cultures, deep preferred food left. otherwise, it's like they have not made enough. so they would want that they're still food on the table, but that can be taken care of it. but that's again, a functional issue. converting food risk into animals fault is one way to limit the
5:36 pm
garbage to date. westland has processed 5000 duns and the market has grown with almost 540000000 animals. india has the largest livestock population and the bird demand for dr. feed is greater than the available supply. that's live feed, manufacturer, shaw. he has been buying additional feet from business for the past 4 years to save on gone and grinned. cost in nor does better than oil. also. a yoga lu, cedrin loosened liliana in marysville underwood, bernezi enforcer or neural william, giving the order lou and then a gerald williams. it's nutritional value makes the feet of grinning solution for gender among the farmer's animals are healthy and happy. and the father is cheaper than conventional bronze. well, as that report shows,
5:37 pm
food raise for many of us is an invisible process. that doesn't start in our kitchens. when we throw out anita left or was us boy produce. it begins out on the farms and in the fields where food is produced. that's where to log on to zation and spin is focusing is efforts. it harvests or faculty edible fruit and vegetable rejects and billy was them to food banks, adding nutritional value to handouts for the needy. it's all hands on deck in this spinach field just outside barcelona and i got us and the team of volunteers are collecting all they can to day their efforts will supply many needy people in the region with fresh food. but that was k. wow. there's so much i can't really gain how much. yeah. but it should be enough to feed 100 families or even more on the call them us and i gras works for the s b gallegos
5:38 pm
. the glee nurse, the non profit organization collects left over crops after the commercial harvest on many fields in spain's catalonia region. this practice was more common before industrialized farming and the introduction of strict regulations. now it has been revived here by the sb will adults around 8 percent of the world's crops, i believe, to be lost at harvest time. the european union fruit and vegetables are rejected to fed too big or small and don't comply with appearance stand that's see out as tom was a new god. boy, they were in law fields of spinach. that hasn't been sold on the market because there was not enough demand for it under and don't they see not the we had, i'm was call him though. so if we wouldn't be harvesting the spinner generally element, it would go to when he asked her to be in there. okay, bassetti of the farmer would simply plow through the field here with his trying to get her to prepare it for the next harvest. but operate but our little guy, so what we're doing here is removing the spinach. she's got to give it
5:39 pm
a 2nd opportunity. odl is when i say will know what the need of last year alone. her organization saves over 600000 killers of fruit and vegetables. in this way, the water and c o 2 emissions invested in their growth were not in vain. the rescued produce arrives in this warehouse. it's then distributed to charities across the region. avid the economic fall out from the pandemic demand that's feigns food. banks has at times doubled. now rising prices and economic uncertainty caused by the war and ukraine are putting more pressure on the vulnerable gardening up on our phone to coordinate the deliveries at the warehouse in barcelona port a lap laptop and getting am i from the people who are most in need have the poorest diet, what going on? because in the end, the cost of food determines what they eat theater, but at ensuring that they're supplied with a minimum of high quality, basic producing which is very important for these people's health. if they in let
5:40 pm
me finish how they qualify the volunteers activities helped build momentum for the drafting of a regional bill to prevent food loss and waste. recently passed, the legislation promotes the practice of cleaning as a solution. a similar law will come into force nationwide as big will others found our media barava is proud of that. she started the organisation in 2014. now she also runs an operation on the outskirts of false alona that produces its own brand of preserves, made from food that otherwise would be thrown away to day sir, cooking a pumpkin recipe and applesauce. people who work here come from disadvantaged backgrounds and have struggled with exclusion. no, but other than we begin, if this is only a small factory, let us not hispanic guy. but unlike in an industrial sized factory of people who work hair, get the chance to try their hand at different jobs out here in every step of the
5:41 pm
production process back it up with. though, what if i have, if they, they can prepare fruits and vegetables and cook them their money, but they can learn how to come them or how to rush on them. then bessalo, they the 5th gather it's a spring board to future job opportunities that elena morales move from honduras to spain, hoping for a better future. for years she struggled. the job here is a lifeline me day about about and her team help to obtain the work permits she never had before. now she has a steady income. when we meet on that with an immigrant, you don't have a lot of opportunities to work. you either work on an hourly basis without a contract and they don't pay you the same. or you just take any job whatever comes out without documents. it's all very complicated. not only for me, but also for my daughter that i almost gave up and went back to honduras city me landfill and go to san mountain to death. in the past few years around 50 people
5:42 pm
found a job here. financing is generated for the sales of the preserves and state funding committee about about needs more soon. she wants to expand the amazon more. they know them places us. yeah, we created a social business model that has 3 ames so here let's get the reduction of food loss mainly of vegetables and fruit element, the right to healthy nutrition for every one, but especially for those and a vulnerable situation. the but i pull that off before and we also wanted to offer job opportunities for these people out in it out of what me i would i left. but if that was one that was put into promoting this projects as a model that can work not only on a national scale, but also internationally, that did wonder because in every city there are these 3 necessity as it, which are the reason we exist at the on an existence that depends on plenty of helping hands, the people here are happy to be contributing to a circular economy and social justice was thrown, had people in the long run with our goal is to disappear galia. but that would only
5:43 pm
happen if the problem was food loss and the other social challenges we face were sort of that was so that might be a bit utopian. he annoyed the galena self. barcelona are likely to have their work cut out for years to come. because there are still plenty of fields with an abundance to share sign to see the global food system is harling the planet towards the climate disaster. not least because it's responsible for a thought on greenhouse gas emissions. capital, another livestock produced the same amount of carbon emissions as the combined output of all the world's vehicles, terean's ships and airplanes. many people have quit, meet with the aim of reducing their individual footprint. but as i report, i discovered dairy products have similar effects on the environment. though there may be valid pleasing alternatives to make cheese you need mill and to make milk,
5:44 pm
you need animals, the emit loads of greenhouse gas emissions and use lots and lots of water. i mean, i really love chase, but we need to talk about it. how hard is this piece really on the environment during the to stop eating, cheese and how the alternatives 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 a 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 of 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 a jesse case. these pairs produce milk with very high solids. the
5:45 pm
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 jesus, greenhouse gas emissions come from the milk. so the more milky use the worse for the planet. more than half of those emissions come from the farming process, because cows and other mill freezing 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. so mega animals pollute the planet. less per kilogram of milk. that's because cows
5:46 pm
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 day turning this into a gummy socrates. what we're starting here is a process called fermentation. the bacteria feast on the sugar that's in the milk and break it down. after a while, we add a liquid called rennet. this is what turns our concoction into cheese as it restructures the case in it, a protein that can only be found in animals melt. and yes, it really works, our milk is suddenly solid just for me to cut it into pieces again. and so neil realised that $200.00 leaders of mac inquiry screw. now we have to work
5:47 pm
quickly. the current needs to go into these molds while it's still warm and be flipped after a couple of minutes. after another 2 or 3 hours, all of these molds go into the ripening room. a cheese makers, treasure chamber. the processing accounts for between 2 to 18 percent of cheeses, final c o 2 emissions. but of course, the longer you need to keep it at a certain temperature and humidity for it to become really tasty. the more energy it uses, new day, another cheese maker, but today we're producing the vague in our tentative and here cash use are the main ingredient that us, that's the wonderful thing about cassia. we can make a nice mill from them if we soak them, clean them and crush them. yet this produces a smooth milk that can be processed into cheese alternatives. the way animal milk would be for normal cheese production, either for r bye that we had in con and after have ground down. all these cashews bacteria
5:48 pm
cultures will be added to start the fermentation process. just like you would when making cheese from animal milk. there or thought of ingredient forces alternative. su, hellman, oh boy, and even olive oil and in radian abundance of the progressive i have to calculate the greenhouse gas water and las vegas alternative vegan cheeses are fairly new. so there aren't a lot of studies on their environmental impact yet, which is why we can only compare what it takes to grow the most popular ingredients, cashews almonds and the new kid on the block oats. the dutch national institute for public health and the environment. compare different environmental impacts. other studies claim different impacts, but for easy comparison, i'm sticking to this one. making cheese emits way more c o 2 than vague and alternatives. one is the bacteria have started their work during the fermentation
5:49 pm
process. the herbs and spices are added to this version is what the company called chuck calico to become as delicious as possible. it goes through a similar ripening process as real cheese, where the bacteria continue. there were looking at the science, though it takes quite a lot of water to grow. cashews. the dutch study found water consumption to be as high as 2000 liters per kilogram of cashews. but it's not just the number that's important. the impact depends a lot on the region where the cash use are ground. does it rain a lot or is it a waters cast region, for example, in vietnam, caches are mainly grown in areas with relatively little water stress. but the opposite is generally true from brazil or booking a fossil. alrighty. and now i'm really curious how that is going to taste.
5:50 pm
oh yeah, it has new smells and tastes a lot of herbs. the consistency is actually pretty similar to like cream cheese. what with her pin star as really read. all right, all right. all right. that was pretty good even for cheese love a, but if you want to go full out on saving the planet, go for oh based options, but they are just starting to hit the supermarket shelves now. real cheese will always be my number one, but i'll try to switch it up with some tasty alternatives. so if we can get me on dairy, what can me eat to save the climate? and in short, food security bunks may be the answer by any, as all over the world are developing sustainable products, made out of the larvae of black soil into flies. in germany,
5:51 pm
it seems there's just one sticking point standing in the way of its success. the red tape of bureaucracy. it could be so easy. breeding harmless little flies to laying eggs which turn into maggots with a voracious appetite for food waste. and the larvae can be turned into tasty, high protein. burger's good for the climate and the environment. though it's not quite that straightforward yet. but 1st things 1st. welcome to the lum shack of the black soldier, fly, a creature by the name her meteor. in lupin's, highly cons is a superstar among fly farmers. he'd love to expand his farm and be part of the insect protein revolution. and the larvae are up to the job. they have a racial appetite and gobble up everything from food waste to animal excrement and true glutton fashion. their body weight increases 6000 fold and just 3 weeks. the
5:52 pm
problem is you regulations for been the farmer from feeding them food waste. when my snow, yes, mark. if you're a pioneer doing something new or you're going to really enjoy what you're doing and be enthusiastic about it, what often you do, but in the challenges in life, especially in the case of disruptive innovation, as you might find yourself facing regulatory hurdles against the e u is concerned about the sanitary conditions of the larvae which live in their own feed and feces. in 6 live in their feet, they live in their own feet. so you have to make sure that there is no risk of contamination between the feet which day and the insect crow team, which is the final product at which would be consumes. this is why they're currently fed on pink feed, but they will dish this up here is kara, which is great for our young larvae. acora is
5:53 pm
a byproduct of tow for production for yesterday, and this is in the us. but there are more efficient solutions available, like in kenya, we're handling con, says also set up a fly farm with indoor plumbing, a rarity in many poorer districts. a startup has set a portable lavatories and so like good places the excrement is later collected and mixed with food waste a blend that's perfectly suited to the black saunter. fly larvae he lost and found on july. the larvae are then fed to pigs and chickens life. we've had this system up and running for a couple of years now with 0 problems, and no cases of animals getting sick. i didn't even office cache tom despite its concerns. the you says it wants to promote larvae farming, which could be a sustainable source of protein and a meat substitute. nearly 100 percent of the maggots can be consumed, either by livestock or humans. there is far less waste than when pigs chickens or
5:54 pm
cows are on the dinner plate. plus the maggots shelf can be used as a fertilizer or for making cosmetic products and even medication. oh, you know that you've been has a doctor, an action plan for a circular column, and we have adopted the for the farm to for strategy where we want to develop resilient and sustainable food supply chains. and one of the things which are being assessed there is whether you feed substrates for insects are focused on former food stamps. could be considered as a source, a future. before waste can be used this way. the e once proof that as a safe product as its own sklar, that we know that we need to deliver empirical evidence that it safely fingers and passes will fail. but the e u is basically making that impossible because they won't grant us an exemptions.
5:55 pm
nomic naming off your greek, so we're being asked to provide evidence while being denied the means to do so. it was the miracle guys gave. we can only hope that will be granted exemptions at the local level, and that the you doesn't put a spanner in the works. we often discussed on the course sufficient her college. for now, i know his chances ground fly larvae can only be fed to dogs and fish. but if all goes well, larvae could be the next big thing in the food industry. for has cultural, religious, and so side to live. last stud on it, and it may not be possible for all of us to make the switch to sustainable alternatives immediately. but the solution to every problem starts with an acknowledgement and acknowledgement from each one of us. that the way we produce food to be is broken, change begins, he'll think about that and i'll see you again next week. good bite and thanks for watching. ah,
5:56 pm
with oh ah, with
5:57 pm
ah, ah, to the point, strong opinions, positions, international perspectives voted and brushes, armed forces have suffered some serious setbacks during the invasion of neighboring you, craig. so will they scale back operations or is put in perhaps set to launch a new campaigns find out until the point shortly. to the point in 2 minutes on
5:58 pm
d w. imagine how many portion of lunch or throw it out in the world. climate change give a call to story. this is my plan, the way from just one week. how much was going to really get we still have time to go. i'm going all with a rear natural spectacle in an improved world. the meeting of the loom whale sharks, the remote island of san antonio. ah, it is a testament to the quality of the waters. one of the many success stories from a bastion of biodiversity starts may 20th
5:59 pm
on d, w. a . ah ah, ah
6:00 pm
ah. ah, this is it'll be news live from berlin. ukraine puts a russian soldier on trial for war crimes. a 21 year old man will be the 1st russian soldier to stand trial for war crimes in ukraine. since the start of the war is accused of shooting dead, an unarmed 62 year old civilian also on the show push for peace. germany's chance for urge as russia to agree, a ceasefire with ukraine, all our shows asked president vladimir putin.
