the global economy, our portfolio d w business. beyond here, the closer look at the project. our mission. to analyze the fight for market dominance. east versus west. ahead with the w business beyond with from the gardens of interim to miss support team you to the field of modern the industrial farms. we've been producing food for millennia. but to the spectrum of consumption and production of how many people on the planet, on this edition of eco, india, we explore efforts, underweight, help fix,
10:31 am
broken food systems. hello, welcome. i'm some of that i'm 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 and delhi be start up, that's rescuing food destined from the dump by transforming it into feed for animals. ah, it's feeding dying all is dirty farm and am bol the state of her young? farm? jaundra mourn the husband in 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 eating is about
10:32 am
a day in the still feed them gains on it, but now we have access to a good feed supply. we get more milk using it and it keeps our animals heavily. it said on a lot of any of this for the, the suspicion it's made from food waste processed by the deli 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 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,
10:33 am
most accepted form is composting or by i guess. but composter was an 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 any shall days, od says though volume was not that high. so the waste is, was very live like 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 it's damaged goods on to westland. that saved does not produce a disposal costs and supplies whistling with more of the raw materials. it needs
10:34 am
for its feet, production noodles of potatoes are sold directly to farmers as big feet. most other food waste is dried and ground. it's done packaged and delivered to animal food produce. when the, when it arrives to the facility, it, you know, it is offload it. we know we weigh it up by category to make sure that we are accurately aware of what quantity of what category we have are 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 for that goes into cattle, poultry, aqua, or swain. and then be prepared formulation mixes. but the recycling of leftover food is still the exception in india, even though it saves money and protected again, $1.00 most risk to simply left rock as a decomposes it consumes oxygen and releases maintain a powerful greenhouse gas,
10:35 am
or g a g for short. oh, so for example, if food lawson based was a country, it would have been the 3rd largest carbon emitter, like g, a, g, amanda, i only off to china and usa. so if you look at the problem, it's huge and there is a lot of potential to, to use 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 quantity the spoil as a result of long transport ropes. an inadequate refrigeration social habits also play a role. for example, in india, in some cultures, deep breath were food left. otherwise it's like 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,
10:36 am
i thought you the issue converting food waste and do animal fault is one way to limit the garbage to date. westland has processed 5000 dunn's and the market is growing with almost 540000000 animals. india has the largest livestock population in the bird demand for dr. feed is greater than the available supply that's live feed manufacturer. sha, he has been buying additional feet from briskly for the past 4 years to save on gone and grinned. cost in nor does better than oil. also, if yo were lou said gunderson liliana and ms. villanova bernezi in foster or neural william giving the order lou and bennett, gerald and william it's nutritional value makes the feet of grinning solution for gender. among the farmers. animals are healthy and happy, and the father is cheaper than conventional bronze. well,
10:37 am
as that report shows, 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 a spoilt 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. it harvests or thickly 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 could ass 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.
10:38 am
and i get us worse for the s b go 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 b 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 if that too big or small and don't comply with appearance stand that's see out as tom was a new god, but they were in law fields of spinach that hasn't been sold on the market because there was not enough demand for it under, in don't this enough to we had, 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, k bassetti of the farmer would simply plow through the field here with his trotter to prepare it for the next harvest. but update,
10:39 am
but added god. so what we're doing here is removing the spinach, she's got to give it a 2nd opportunity, but oddly enough, they will know what the lead up 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 and the economic fall out from to pandemic. demand that spain's food banks has at times doubled. now rising prices and economic uncertainty caused by the warn, ukraine are putting more pressure on the vulnerable gardening up on a phone to coordinate the deliveries at the warehouse in barcelona port a lap laptop. anthony, i'm actually the people who are most in need to have the poorest diet, what company? because in the end, the cost of food determines what they eat, yoletta, but at ensuring that they're supplied with a minimum of high quality market basic producing,
10:40 am
which is very important for these people's health. if they in let 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 gleaning as a solution. a similar law will come into force nationwide. as beagle, others found a media barava is proud of that. she started the organization in 2014. now she also runs in operation on the outskirts of fossil luna, that produces its own brand of preserves, made from food that otherwise would be thrown away to day sir, cooking a pumpkin recipe, and apple sauce. people who work here come from disadvantaged backgrounds and have struggled with exclusion. no, what are we picking up yet? this is only a small factory left that masculinity. but unlike in an industrial sized factory of
10:41 am
people who, what can get the chance to try their hand at different jobs idea in every step of the production process, backing up with a socket though, would it help if they, they can prepare fruit 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 5th gather it's a spring board to few to job opportunities. catalina morales move from honduras to spain, hoping for a better future. for years she struggled. her job here is a lifeline. media about about and her team helped 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 up without documents. it's all very complicated. not only for me, but also for my daughter. but i almost gave up and went back to honduras, baby,
10:42 am
me planet, assign mountain to death. in the past few years around 50 people found a job here. financing is generated for the sales of the preserves and state funding for media about about needs more soon. she wants to expand the amazon more. they know they embrace us. yeah, we created a social business model that has 3 aims, so let's get the reduction of food loss, mainly of vegetables and fruits. tell him and 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 list professional i'm of potential. 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 are 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
10:43 am
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 happen if the problem of food loss and the other social challenges we face were solved. i 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 the thought of on 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 a reporter discovered, dairy products have similar effects on the environment. though,
10:44 am
there may be followed pleasing alternatives to make g as you need mil 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 chase, but we need to talk about it. how hard is this piece really on the environment? do i need to stop eating cheese and how the alternatives any better? and the best way to find out make some sheets yourself. cheese makers, paul, and you 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 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
10:45 am
milk from jesse cares, these cares produce milk with very high solids. 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 cheeses, 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 mil producing animals fart and breathe out methane gas. 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
10:46 am
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 carbon footprint is actually bigger than that of poultry and even pork. more emissions than meat that is absolutely insane. but anyway, now that we've 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
10:47 am
and so on. you realize that 200 leaders of more can quite screw. now we have to work 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 make his treasure chamber. the processor 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 are producing the vague, in our tentative and here cash use are the main ingredient. yes, that's the wonderful thing about cash. yes, we can make a nice mill 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,
10:48 am
i did that in con and after i've drowned down all these cashews bacteria 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 l man. oh boy. and even olive oil, a radius abundance of the progressive, i have to calculate the greenhouse gas emission 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 impacts, but for easy comparison, i'm sticking to this one. making cheese emits way more c o 2 than vague and
10:49 am
alternatives. one is the bacteria have started their work during the fermentation 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 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 or fossil. alrighty. and now i'm really curious how that is going to taste.
10:50 am
oh yeah, it has years mail 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 bugs may be answered by any, as all over the world are developing sustainable products,
10:51 am
made out on the larvae of black. so into flies in germany, 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 lay 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 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
10:52 am
true glutton fashion. their body weight increases 6000 fold and just 3 weeks. the problem is you regulations forbid the farmer from feeding them food waste been released from o. 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, bumping the challenges in what? especially in the case of disruptive innovation, as you might find yourself facing regulatory hurdles against the you is concerned about the sanitary conditions of the larvae which live in their own feed and feces . been sick 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 in which date if and the insect protein, which is the final product and which will be consumed. this is why they're currently fed on pink feed, but they will dish this up here is o kara,
10:53 am
which is great for our young larvae. acora is a byproduct of tow for production for yesterday. and this is in this 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, that we've had the 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 michelle 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,
10:54 am
either by livestock or humans. there is far less waste than when pigs chickens or cows are on the dinner plate. plus the maggots shells can be used as a fertilizer or for making cosmetic products. and even medications are, you know that you've been u. s. a. dr. an action plan for a circular economy, and we have adopted the for the farm to for 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
10:55 am
synthesis winfield. but the e u is basically making that impossible because they won't grant us an exemptions. nomic, naming off your greek, so we're being asked to provide evidence while being denied the means to do so. it was the community college game. 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 your from the just on the course patricia her college. for now, i know his chances ground fly larvae can only be fed to dogs and fish, but it all goes well. larvae could be the next big thing in the food industry for has cultural, religious, and so side to live last 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. the way we produce food to the is broken, change begins, he'll think about that and i'll see you again next week. good bye and punks for
