world can't go to school. ah, we ask why? because education makes the world more just make up your own mind. d. w made for minds from the gardens of interim to mister port jameel to the fields of modern industrial farms. we've been producing food for millennia, but these patterns of consumption and production of harming people on the planet. on this addition of eco india, we explore efforts underway who help fix unbroken food system. hello,
7:31 am
welcome. i'm some of that 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 discarded. we visited a daily basis, start up, that's rescuing food destined from the dump by transforming it into feed for animals. ah, it's feeding dying on his dairy farm and am bol the state of our young farm gender? amazon has been in business for 40 years. he's mindful that his cows get new just died. the hell didn't stronger animals the better and more abundant. the milk eaten savannah the in the still keep them gaining, but now we have access to
7:32 am
a good feed supply. if we get more milk using it and it keeps our animals heavily, it said that a lot of any of this for 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 seized dot mix it the largest food recycler in the country. food waste is one of the largest weights we segments in india. and if you see the last 50 years, there has been work that has happened in plastics. recycling and electronic based 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 composter was an
7:33 am
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 doing our any, shall it is odd since 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 enough volume and which has to be recycled or, you know, mitigated on maybe put into the best use that again to the company now passes it's 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. noodles of potatoes are so direct you to farmers as big
7:34 am
feet. most other food waste is dried and ground, done packaged and deliver to animal feed produce when the, when you arrive to the facility, it, you know, it is offloaded. you know, we way it a by category to make sure that we are accurately available. what quantity a, what category we have that is punched into the inventory that we receive. and depending on the nutrition formulation of the, of the product that we have picked, we would decide what is the end goal over that goes into cattle, poultry, aqua, or swain. 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 one most risk to simply left rock. as a 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,
7:35 am
it would have been the 3rd largest carbon emitter, like g, a, g, amanda, 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 in vase and all the emissions and everything that goes into its input food produces on suddenly to blame for the mountains of food, whist, 40 percent of the food produced in india is loss due to inefficient supply chains. huge quantities of 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 breath were food left. otherwise it's lake, they're not made enough. so they would want that they're still food on the table, but that can be taken care of that. but that's again a thank you, the issue converting food wrist and do animal font is one way to limit the garbage
7:36 am
. due date, westland has processed 5000 dunn's, and the market is growing. 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 shot he has been buying additional feet from bristly for the past 4 years to save on gone and grinned. cost in nor does better than oil. also, if you are lou, said gunderson liliana in marysville, wondering about another enforcer or 1000000, giving the oil or lou. and then a gerald on william. it's nutritional value makes the feed of winning 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,
7:37 am
food waste 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 an organization and spin is focusing is efforts in harvest, or frankly 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 gauge how much. yeah, but it should be enough to feed $100.00 families or even more on the call them us. and i get us worse for the
7:38 am
a speaker leathers. the cleaners 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 s p will let us around 8 percent of the world's crops. i believe, to be lost at harvest time. the european union fruit and vegetables are rejected if they're too big or small and don't comply with appearance standards. see out as tom was a new god, boy, they were in the 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 weird. i was call him though. so if we wouldn't be harvesting the spinner generally element, it would go to waste her to be in the say, ok, bassetti of the farmer would simply plow through the field here with his trotter to prepare it for the next harvest. but update, but audio god. so what we're doing here is removing the spinet. she's got to give
7:39 am
it a 2nd opportunity. obadiah idle is gonna say, well, no, but still need up. last year alone, her organization saved 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 warn ukraine, putting more pressure on the vulnerable current enough on our phone to coordinate the deliveries at the warehouse in barcelona port a lap lucky on getting am i to me the people who are most in need have the poorest diet, what company? because at the end, the cost of food determines what they eat, the editor, but at ensuring that they're supplied with a minimum of high quality. my basic producing is very important for these people's health. if they in let me finish,
7:40 am
i think one of 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 gleaning as a solution. a similar law will come into force nationwide as big will others founder, amelia barbara, is proud of that. she saw that the organisation in 2014. now she also runs in 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, they're cooking a pumpkin recipe, and apple sauce. people who work here come from disadvantage backgrounds and have struggled with exclusion. no, but other than we begin, if this is only a small factory left, that must be finicky. but unlike in an industrial sized factory of people who, what care get the chance to try their hand at different jobs area in every step of
7:41 am
the production process back it up with it. though, what if, if they, they can prepare fruits and vegetables and cook them their money, but i can learn how to come them or how to rush on them. then bessalo they the 50 gather it's a springboard but unities that elena morales moved from honduras to spain. hoping for a better future. 4 years she struggled. her 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. they the planet assign mountain to death. in the past few years around 50 people found
7:42 am
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 do, they embrace us healthier. we created a social business model that has 3 ames so here let's get the reduction of food loss mainly of vegetables and free 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 may have, how would i left off, but invalid. we're 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 were these 3 necessity as it which of 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 that all had people in the long run with
7:43 am
our goal is to disappear daily. but that would only happen if the problem of food loss and the other social challenges we face and we're song as if it were so that might be a bit utopian. he annoyed the galenas of barcelona, are likely to have their work cut out for. he is to come because there are still plenty of fields with an abundance to share. sign to see the global food system is harling, the planets towards a climate disaster. not least because it's responsible for the card. all greenhouse gas emissions, capital, and other livestock produced the same amount of carbon emissions as the combined output of all the world's vehicles, trends, ships, and airplanes. many people have quit meet with the aim of reducing their individual footprint. but as that report are, discovered, dairy products have similar effects on the environment. though there may be valid pleasing alternatives to make cheese, you need mil and to make milk,
7:44 am
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 of art really on the environment 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 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 take out 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 a note for jesse cares, these cares produce no good, very high solids. the amount of mill that is use is actually extremely
7:45 am
important because depending on which study you're looking at between 80 and 95 percent of cheeses, greenhouse gas emissions come from the milk. so the more not to use the worse for the planet. more than half of those emissions come from the farming process because couch and other mill, freezing animals far 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 sheet 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 good of shape,
7:46 am
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 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 leaders of more can quite screw. now we have to work
7:47 am
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 jesus, final c o to emission 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 to day we are producing the vague in our tentative and here cashews are the main ingredient that us, that's the wonderful thing about cassia. we can make a nice milk from them if we soak them, clean them and crush them. yeah, this produces a smooth milk that can be processed into cheese alternatives. the way animal milk would be for normal cheese production either for ob, i did that and con. and after i've drowned down, all these cashews bacteria cultures will be added to stop the fermentation process
7:48 am
. just like you would when making cheese from animal milk. there or thought of ingredient forces alternative tests. now man, oh boy. and even olive oil and radians abundance of different recipes might have to calculate the greenhouse gas emissions . water and land figures, alternative vegan cheeses are fairly new. so there aren't a lot of studies on there and by mental impact yet, which is why we can only compare what it takes to grow the most popular ingredients . cash used almonds and the new kid on the block codes. the dutch national institute for public health and the environment compared different environmental impacts. other studies claim different impact, but for easy comparison, i'm sticking to this one. making cheese emits way more c o 2 than vegan alternatives. one is the bacteria have started their work during the fermentation
7:49 am
process. the herbs and spices are added to this version is what the company called chuck alika to become as delicious as possible. it goes through a similar ripening process as real cheese, where the bacteria continue their work. 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 cash use. 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, cashews are mainly grown in areas with relatively little water stress. but the opposite is generally true for brazil or booking our fossil. alrighty. and now i'm really curious how that is going to taste.
7:50 am
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 of really red. 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 meet, meet on dairy, what can the eat to save the climate? and in short, food security bugs may be the answer by any, as all over the world, i'm developing sustainable products made out of the larvae of black. so into flies in germany, it seems there's just one sticking point,
7:51 am
standing in the way of its success. the rector of bureaucracy. it could be so easy. breeding harmless little flies to lay eggs which turn into maggots with a voracious appetite for food waste. and the larvae can be turned into tasty, high protein burgers. good for 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 media. in lupin's heinrich cuts 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 in just 3 weeks. the
7:52 am
problem is, you regulations forbid the farmer from feeding them food waste venue from us? no, 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. but often you do bumping the challenges, especially in the case of disruptive innovation as you might find yourself facing regulatory hurdles, avi trends, and 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 date if and the insect protein, which is the final product at which will be consumed. 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 a byproduct of tow for production for yesterday,
7:53 am
and this is melissa. but there are more efficient solutions available, like in kenya were highly con, says also set up a fly farm. with indoor plumbing, a rarity in many poorer districts. a startup has set a portable lavatories in selected places. the excrement is later collected and mixed with food east, a blend that's perfectly suited to the black soldier, fly larvae. e louthan bound on july, the larvae or then fed to pigs and chickens. life that we've had the system up and running for a couple of years now with the 0 problems, and no cases of animals getting sick, i didn't give office cache tom despite its concerns the use as 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 cows are on
7:54 am
the dinner plate. plus the maggots shells can be used as a fertilizer or for making cosmetic products and even medications. you know that you've been, you in has a doctor, an action plan for a circular economy. and we have adopted the for the farm to fork strategy where we want to develop a 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 of future before waste can be used this way. the e wants proof that as a safe product as its own sklar, that we know that we need to deliver empirical evidence that it safely hunger synthesis winfield but the e. u is basically making that impossible because they won't grant us an exemption nomic naming off your greek. so we're being asked to provide evidence while being
7:55 am
denied the means to do so. it was the community guys who gave him. 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 you hoping discussed on the course patricia college. for now, i know the chances ground fly larvae can only be fan to dogs and fish. but if all goes well, larvae could be the next big thing in the food industry. food has cultural, religious, and so side to live law started 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 the is broken. change begins here. think about that and i'll see you again next week. good bye and punks for watching. ah,
