power between spain and portugal. a race linked to military interests, erase links to political and military, christie, but also linked to main financial, adventure full of hardships, dangers, death. 3 years that would change the world for ever. let jones journey around the world. september 7th on d. w. a . producing food for close to 8000000000 people on earth has a huge impact on the environment around the thought of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide
5:31 pm
. i'm related to the global food system in world lifestyle farming, transport, and reputation for our default of station agriculture. we find alternatives for that. that's up to up to the on equal in. yep. hello, welcome. i'm, i'm from brandy will buy let's 1st talk about meet consumption in a country that is false. people seem to be reggie perio, 71 percent of indians over the age of 15 are in fact non vegetarian. this motors only rising and bringing with it enormous consequences for the environment. mock me, however, is the new buzzword among the environmentally conscious. and there have been indians with higher incomes, a willing to spend money to fest without. let's see why a ah,
5:32 pm
for some time now. but in such dba has been shopping differently. the student now follows an exclusively reagan diet. she's dropped meat from her grocery list and instead by a blank based alternative men of bees, beans, and seats. even if you eat animals nicely, it is still not fair for us to use them in any way, shape or meat production is also extremely damaging for the environment. it's a reason more and more people in india and dropping meat from their diet. at the same time, india remains one of the world's biggest exporters of meat. it's ranked fault globally in beef export. as soluble make of the observer research foundation explains ready. interestingly, in dumbs of meat is a larger produce sort of meets dana consumer. so production is almost double of that of dumb should meet trading in, in specifically has
5:33 pm
a lot of economics do it like it. advances goals such as loading hunger, manipulation are, would be it's something of a dilemma. meet production in india is both an important economic driver and environmental problem. the fattening of buffalo is also generates around $200000000.00 tons of c o 2 every year. a significant proportion of india's greenhouse gas emissions. the city of mom, bye as a hub for companies producing meat on done it is. this farm makes plant based sausages bodies and nuggets out of bees or swim. mm. they're available to buy in it on turkey, cities across india, the process, my wife's, cham, protein exclusion, which we use, essentially in cubes. removing, extracting, being out of line like so i and mechanically, so you're actually under pressure kind of extracts. and then should i say to make
5:34 pm
it feel like those numbers fibers and finding that you see in the blank based meet has been continuously developed in the past 10 years. but products increasingly resembling the real thing. but they're still much more expensive than animal meat. i can only don't of even only been an rich because it is very expensive and it is definitely an elite concept in the sense that in terms of the awareness or the disposable income, you can only find that in masses of upper middle income class population young population are been pockets about 2 thirds of and yes, population lives into rural areas. many are happy. they just manage to have enough food to survive. meet alternatives don't feature in their lives. they're simply too expensive, blanche's meat also still
5:35 pm
a somewhat different to animal meat. for saddam man with the solution lies and meat cronan lamps. 2 years ago he founded a company, a deli today just that when we talk about land, we are able to answer the price component. they're able to answer some work with it, but everyone out of it is facing the challenge with respect to distance me. now when we talk about animal base for, i'm a grown lab on products. these products have the potential to answer this picture, smell. and if production is in the united way and formulated in the process, but i also research is in full swing animals cells are placed in nuclear solutions to produce new cells which are then used to grow animal tissue. the company says, switching to lab mean what did use greenhouse gas emissions by 96 percent
5:36 pm
but most production is still a challenge for the industry. they're trying to grow says in a body after pickup. now the problem with it is not only it has a cost effectiveness issue apart from that, but as of now the suppliers or manufacturers of my own actors have made by area those which are then leaders to 25 meters capacity me. but keeping in mind that demand that business is trying to answer these big about actors, need to be of 1000 leaders of hotel and leaders. there are also major reservations about genetically engineered food. large amounts of artificially produced growth hormones. i used to stimulate animal cells to grow indian authorities, a turnkey, working on a legal framework allowed to import production and sale of genetically modified products. but along with the long term health impacts of these foods, no one yet knows how they go down. but customers ation
5:37 pm
kitchen ation mindset of if they are left printing by anything new and making them except for that new ones. it is a huge italian is going on media to you. if we have everyone on board, said huckman with the hopes to have the product ready for the market in 2 years. then customers like but in such deva but also have the option of eating animal meat produced without any animal suffering. and but huge savings in c o 2 emissions not just in india, but around the world. more and more consumers are looking for private friendly as well as healthy alternatives to food that is produced unsustainably. what will be the menu of the future? and what steps can individual think to be? make that shift? let's take a look. fruit and vegetables are more likely to fill marianna, re dos grocery cart these days. she and her berlin based family have decided to eat
5:38 pm
more healthily and sustainably. they eat regional produce whenever possible putting for your grown peaches instead of bananas from overseas. they also buy more legumes and nuts. their fallen tips from the planetary health diet, which was released by a team of international researchers in 2019. the scientists figured out how people can eat healthily, while simultaneously conserving our planets resources according to their findings, every one should eat twice as much fruit, vegetables, legumes, and nuts. at the same time, we need to have our meat and sugar consumption for the rudolf family. that means only eating meat and fish once a week. but other than that, they haven't found the dietary changes to challenging shopping sustainably, however, is more complicated than gender flesh as we don't have to eat me every day.
5:39 pm
but finding local parties is difficult. yolanda, this isn't organic, still says okay, but we were shocked and how difficult it is at the supermarket. even just finding projects from europe isn't always easy. why it's a handful thing at the end. despite the difficulties, marianna was surprised to discover that their new eating plan isn't very costly. bill and good night actually say it's more affordable products than the region are definitely cheaper and meet is normally quite expensive on them as a toilet. what would happen if everyone started eating sustainably right away? under the current circumstances, it wouldn't work at all. there isn't enough suitable farmland, available worldwide to support an immediate transition. a lot of farmland is currently used for animal feed like soy, and much of it has been depleted of nutrients by monoculture, farming. so it's less fertile to listen. often we need to produce more food on the same land force using fuel fossil fuel. those few are artificial
5:40 pm
fertilizers and few a pesticide here mia. so we need to use a lot more eco friendly materials. that's all possible, but it would mean a major share and not just on farms often con, it would require major changes and trade arrangements and political agreements local produce would need to be sold 1st and foremost in the region. instead of being transported half way around the world, industrial livestock farming would have to be abolished and animals held only on pastures. if at all, experts regard the planetary health diet as a point of reference not a strict guideline. after all, farming and eating habits very significantly around the world, each region or country needs an individual plan for how their populations can eat sustainably, as well as what produce can be best formed where it can become overwhelming,
5:41 pm
both for individuals and for governments. so governments need to think in that entire pop in not entire transformation, but then get down to the reality of what's the responsibility of each sector. and i think individuals, we, as individuals can do the same thing, right? we have an incredible, out of food riding in fields and being lost at post consumer post retail level. and we could already reduce emissions each 10 percent just by fixing the route. our family now puts more thought into where they get their groceries. they support local farmers by buying produce from them on a regular basis. sustainable eating habits and the politics surrounding it are now common topics at their dinner table. oh, but eric and marianna rudolph are concerned that too much is being left to the consumer when it comes to adopting a more sustainable diet. cynthia allen, it's not just consumers who are responsible. we can all do our bit and
5:42 pm
a lot of young people in germany and elsewhere in europe are doing their best. but it's not easy because the structures just aren't there. one much kicking this pizza with locally grown vegetables is a big hit, especially with the kids the rudolph, making an effort to ensure that sustainable eating is as tasty as possible. the amount of arable land worldwide fulfill production. even if it's made more climate friendly is limited, but i also called the gap and such as the novel possibly. but there are many things that need to fall into place in order for us to practice ocean farming in if the feasible region. i really want, i went looking for answers along the irish cost farming that have been the fastest growing for production method in the world, but it comes with problems of adult diseases, nutrient pollution and over fishing to just name a few. let's go out there and see if we can fix this. how can family oceans
5:43 pm
sustainably? to find out, i've come to ireland, more specifically to the marine institute and its salmon research site. it was specifically developed to farm salmon more sustainably, around $20000.00 of them per year. it also produces 3 tons of seaweed and hundreds of different shellfish. i'll tell you why later. let's meet the people who run the show. frank kane, joanne casale, and near rein. first, i want to look into the emissions associated with farming fish reforms impact the climate in 2 ways. include, read the pers obviously, and you also need the energy to run an operation like that. the tiny food pellets this machine shoots into the pond are responsible for modern 70 percent of the fish farms emissions. that's because of what's in them.
5:44 pm
that's my why fi and what they live. so the primary product going into food would be fish meals, which would be either fish hot at sea or the waste products for the alternatives. other ideas for low emission fish feet are algae or insects. more commonly saw is used as a substitute these days, but that's not with out its problems. either large areas of forest are being clear to grow soy. and then you can look at how efficiently you're using the feet to measure that. there's the so called feed conversion rate for f c r. it determines how much feed is converted into great gains by the light stock. found fish are pretty good up, is there f c r is between one and 2. point 44, pork. it's up to 5, and for beef it's up to 10. so farm fish needs less feet to gain weight along with
5:45 pm
the feet. there is another big factor. the emissions produce pump industries, energy consumption. it really depends on where and how you farm your fish. let's look at salmon, for example, their bread and tanks on land, or like here in open net pence in the ocean. how, what energy do you need to supply this whole operation? ok, so here we have a small open pin anchorage farm system. so requirements for energy on the site are relatively low. we have a small wind energy and we have solar panels on top of this hot for that the power source, the charge of batteries for us to run. the feeder is under the small structures on site. this to be a relatively low energy cost one, generally the open system doesn't require the same amount of energy. we're re circulating systems, our land systems would have a higher demand because they have to pump water around and eat off. the difference is actually huge. when you compare the impacts farmed an open net pence. you're
5:46 pm
looking at $3.00 killers of c, o, 2 pick killer of salmon. and but in tanks, you're stuck with 7 kilos. using more renewable energy would help bring these emissions down, but sadly, the problems don't. and they're too much fish poop in the water can, in the worst case lead to an elegy blue that can eradicate all fish in your farm. and tons of c like on top, the fish basically suffocate on the water that excrement work like a fertilizer. so algy grow like crazy and look out the sun which kills many other underwater plants. this means less oxygen is produced in the end. the complete ecosystem collapses very but the research is here, have an idea how to fix this the magic word is poly culture. so growing different varieties of seafood alongside
5:47 pm
each other. there wasn't any kind of service that lays scallops provide for this overall system. so we've chosen scholar, we've also had oysters as part of our shall fish level and they're what we were coll extracted species. so they would extract all of the particulate matter out of the water column. and how they do that is they have what we call appears. and it's what in the shall here. and that filter is the water and, and takes the particulate matter itemized enough fair thing. the same goes for the next type of sea life that helps clean up the salmon mass. it's green and white, slimy, and slippery as quite open pool. ah, this is sugar cal. it grows along the main line that's just put in the water. it almost looks like a roof system, you know,
5:48 pm
from your regular house plant. and it grows really, really fast. so we're at about a kilometer here. ain't came with anita. yeah, this is getting to really more if they the higher growth season by the time of the year. so it really prefers the colder waters a gross right, the winter and around now is putting on maybe almost kind of a kito week in terms of growth, race o q, a loop thing yet. so it's really fast growing plant material. in addition to the shellfish feeding on the small particles from the fish, the seaweed absorbs anything that's already dissolved in the water like nitrogen and phosphorus that could otherwise also lead to al bluetooth. but to what extent can other species really offset the impact of fish farming? so probably average out overall, katie, maybe the filtration rate that some of the se of a 20 percent of them are what we're producing here in terms of salmon is been offset by the extract a species
5:49 pm
a poly culture farm like this can take care of one problem, nutrient pollution, a big one. yes. but other issues such as the spreading of diseases amongst from cush or chemical pollution with antibiotics remains. and that speaks to the crux of the matter. the going to be able to feed the world a healthy and a balance diet and also in that environmentally friendly. we would also tackle the problem of malnutrition sanderson, germany a, working to solve this problem and are now showing how climate protection is puleo thought she had been with nutrition. what is the institute for climate impact research in potsdam germany have to do with you? tricia a lot because global warming is also affecting the plant world and thus also the basis of our diet. amanda event heads, the climate change in health working group at the institute, malnutrition, as are a big public health problem that affecting the globe. went out of every 3 people
5:50 pm
suffer from some form of malnutrition. so this can be under nutrition are which could mean that protein or energy deficiency. it could mean at micro nutrient deficiency faith, so that over to 1000000 people in the world have some sort of vitamin and mineral deficiency. such deficiencies make you sick. an estimated quarter to half a 1000000 children worldwide become blind every year due to vitamin a deficiency. 500000000 women and 250000000 children suffer from anemia because they don't get enough iron. vitamin b 12 or fo, late for children, especially, anemia can have a serious effect on health di corners on their near, on fuel chronic malnutrition stance growth and delays. puberty, that's the most noticeable effect on severe malnutrition affects your entire body and severely malnourished children are critically ill, her tongue dart, the severe malnutrition damages heart muscle,
5:51 pm
auntie and the liver more juicy and affects the immune system, unquote. and unfortunately, you can't even when they're receiving treatment on gone many severely malnourished children die of heart feel. households are an estimated 3000000000 people worldwide can't afford a healthy, varied diet home gardens can help. many countries have launched initiatives to promote home gardens and provide training to local communities. families grow nutrient rich and vegetables in these gardens year round and they eat when they so amanda vent has been studying a homestead garden project in rural bangladesh. for years. we can say now that we have seen a positive and significant effect on agricultural production in the home garden and i'm more diverse ah fruits and vegetables being grown as well as increases and dietary diversity, which is a measure of diversity in the diet, a women, and children, especially for in some cases, for example and bangladesh. sometimes it's difficult for women to get to the market
5:52 pm
. so if they're cooking for their family, having access to these new trained and foods in their own home is also a benefit. research is, are also taking a closer look at the plumps native to each region which native species of gretchen whitman's and minerals and can be grown locally. one example is the ball bug tree. it's leaves and fruit are rich in victim and see that could help combat malnutrition, along with home gardens, which are the subject of ongoing research. we need studies like this. we need multiple surveys like this to understand what policies work out, what strategies work, what strategies do not work, and why under the cisco buying or masses, given the global scale of the problem, often this is all a drop in the ocean was montague and yeah, but when we see how local and regional cell help organizations benefit from any
5:53 pm
support they receive that some turn with their needs. all you gotta do that's heartening. and encouraging this all you gotta muted. will supply the world's population with sustainably produced food. we may require ideas that appear elusive or even fantastic. at 1st glance, are rewarded with pools, looked at an innovative concept from finland. the company produces protein from carbon dioxide. have you heard about this? you can eat air. i'm not kidding. you can turn carbon dioxide into food who says, who says passing from finland, papacy, what's on the menu producing meet alternatives to different kinds of dairy products . it's also sweet ice cream. so on up in finland in northern europe, pass here on the fact that produces one kilogram of protein powder every day. hey,
5:54 pm
patsy. how do you do this? we haven't mike rope, but basically swims around in a body of liquid water in a firm. and i need the ferment are we introduced levels of hydrogen and carbon dioxide. and this is what the micro needs to grow and multiply at the micro itself is our product crazy. let's check it out. okay, if i understand correctly, but he uses micro with an appetite for hydrogen and c o 2 just add some new terms, like nitrogen and phosphorus, po are the whole process with energy. at the micro will grow and grow and grow. a protein powder coming out. but
5:55 pm
passing, how does it taste? it is neutral in paste. therefore, the taste can be made per application, whether it's weak or saver or but with why should i, if the self passive, about one 3rd of the climate impact is due to what we eat. therefore, we need to get rid of actually from the increasing use of animal based products. ok, so let's wrap it up. it is possible to turn carbon dioxide into protein powder that can replace parts of traditional agriculture. good lord of the climate that sent to leave food for thought. enjoy newton food is such a basic need. civilization,
5:56 pm
societies and communities are built around it. the burden of recalibrating, how we produce and consume food falls upon us and are coming generations. now is the time to come together and choose to build systems that produce food sustainably . i'll leave you with that port and see we'll get next week from all of us from green. did one byte thanks for watching. ah ah ah, ah, with
