oh, as we take on this world, i do all this, we're all about the story that matter to you whatever it takes, i police my phone with we are your is actually on fire. made for mines with producing food for close to $8000000000.00 people on earth has acute impact on the environment around the thought of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide are related to
12:31 am
the global food system which involves lifestyle, foaming, transport, and deprivation of food, or default of station. i'm to called jana, to find alternatives. that's up to the on going yeah. hello, welcome. i'm some stuff from brandy will buy let's 1st talk about meet consumption in a country that is false. new policy can be read japan, 71 percent of indians over the age of 15 are in fact non vegetarian. love is only advising and bringing with enormous consequences for the environment. mac meet, however, is the new buzzword among the environmental functions. and urban indians with higher incomes are willing to spend money for theft without let's the white with
12:32 am
ah, for some time now. but in such diva has been shopping differently. the student now follows an exclusively be denied. she's dropped meat from her grocery list and instead by the 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 it even more and more people in india are 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 dumbed off need is a larger producer of meats, danner consumer. so production is almost double of that of dumb shoot me trading in, in specifically has
12:33 am
a lot of economics do it like it. advances goals such as loading hunger, manual to sion 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 buy is a hub for companies producing meat on done it is. this farm makes plant based sausages, paddies and nuggets out of bees or swim ah, they're available to buy in it on turkey, cities across india. the process scoring know why shamperdeen extrusion which we use of it essentially endures. moving on, extracting the protein out of plants like so i and the mechanical you. so you're actually under pressure kind of extracts and then should i use it to make it feel
12:34 am
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 gonna be going only been an rich because it is very expensive and it is definitely an elite concept in the sense that a, in terms of the awareness or the disposable income, you can only find that in masses of upper middle income class population young population, urban 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 and their lives. they're simply too expensive. black bass, meat, also still day,
12:35 am
somewhat different to animal meat for saddam man with the solution lies and meat grown in labs. 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, variable onset, some work with it, but everyone out there is facing the challenge with respect to ethan smith. now really talk about animal based on i'm a grown lab number about these products have the potential to answer page picture smith. and if production is in the very to me and formulated in the, the process. but i also research is in full swing animal cells are placed in nuclear solutions to produce new cells which are then used to grow animal tissue. the company says, switching to lab meat would use greenhouse gas emissions by 96 percent but most production is still
12:36 am
a challenge for the industry. a growth says in a bio reactive 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 ody actors have made by area those with capacity me. but keeping in mind that demand that business is tranquil answer these by that those need to be of 1000 liters 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 are currently working on a legal framework to allow the 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 issue
12:37 am
continue, asian mindset if they are left printing play anything new and making them except for that new one. there is a huge on that. that was was going on levy if you, if we have everyone on board said huckman with the hopes to have a product ready for the market in 2 years. then customers like, but in such deva will also have the option of eating animal meet, produced without any animal suffering. and but huge savings into your dilemma. sions, not just in india, but around the world, water molten. if you are looking for prime of friendly, as well as healthy alternatives to food that is produced, unsustainably, what would be the menu of the future? and what steps can individual speak 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 more healthily and sustainably. they eat regional produce whenever possible butting
12:38 am
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.
12:39 am
but finding local parties, it's 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 by. it's a helpful thing. 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. one of the 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,
12:40 am
you are artificial fertilizer and fewer pesticide is peter 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 found. often it can, 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 in 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,
12:41 am
both for individuals and for governments. so governments need to think in that entire hop 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, right? we have an incredible, out of rotting in fields and being lost at coast 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 to cynthia allen, it's not just consumers who are responsible. we can all do our bit and
12:42 am
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 world wide fulfill production. even if it's made more climate friendly is limited, but also close 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 a sustainable rate. i read what i went looking for answers along the irish cost farming that have been the fastest growing food 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 it. how can family oceans
12:43 am
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 cane, joanne casserly, and near rain. first, i want to look into the emissions associated with farming fish reforms impact the climate in 2 ways. you, me to beat the pitch 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
12:44 am
what's in them. that's my why fi and what's in it. so the primary product going into food would be fish meals, which would be either fish hot at sea or the waste products of the track. there are alternatives, other ideas for low emission fish feed r l g, 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 soil 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 livestock farm. fish are pretty good at this. their f. c. r is between one and 2.44 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
12:45 am
the feet. there is another big factor. the emissions produce from the 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 pens 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 de 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 be re circulating systems. our land systems would have a higher demand because they have to pump water around and eat water. the difference is actually huge. when you compare the impacts farmed an open net
12:46 am
pence. you're 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 algae blue that can eradicate all fish in your farm and tons of see live 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
12:47 am
each other, there wasn't the kind of service that lays scallops provide for the 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 take the particulate matter itemized enough. fair thing, the same goes for the next type of sea life that helps clean up the salmon's mess. it's green and white, slimy, and slippery. as quite a little boy. 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, from your regular house plan. and it grows really, really fast. so we're at about
12:48 am
a kilometer here. ain't came with anita. yeah, this is getting to really more of their, the higher growth season by the time of the year. so it really prefers the colder waters 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. that's insane 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 algy bluetooth. but to what extent can other species really offset the impact of fish farming? so probably avarice out overall security, maybe the filtration rate, the sum of the se, about 20 percent of them are what we're producing here in terms of famine is being offset by the extract a species a poly culture farm like this can take care of the one problem, new trim pollution,
12:49 am
a big one. yes. but other issues such as the spreading of diseases amongst from push 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 to look for in an environmentally friendly. we would also tackle the problem of malnutrition, scientists and germany a working to solve this problem and are now showing how climate protection is closely associated with nutrition. what is the institute for climate impact research in potsdam germany have to do with you tuition a lot? because global warming is also affecting the plant wells and thus will say the basis of our diet. amanda event heads the climate change in health working group at the institute, malnutrition, as a big of public health problem that's affecting the globe. one out of every 3
12:50 am
people suffer from some form of malnutrition. so this can be under nutrition. which could mean that protein or energy deficiency, it could mean that micro deficiencies, so the over 2000000000 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 so late for children, especially anemia can have a serious effect on health. the corners on your chronic malnutrition, stance growth and your latest puberty. that's the most noticeable effect. so here malnutrition affects your entire body and severely malnourished children are critically ill tongue. the severe malnutrition damage is heart muscle and the liver
12:51 am
and effects the immune system on cause and unfortunately can even when they're receiving treatment. many severely malnourished children die of heart failure. and 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 fruit and vegetables in these gardens a year round and they eat one 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 more diverse fruits and vegetables being grown as well as increases and dietary diversity, which is a measure of diversity in the diet of women and children. and especially if or in some cases, for example, in bangladesh,
12:52 am
sometimes it's difficult for women to get to the market for a fair cooking for their family. having access to these new trends, 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 rich in britain's and minerals and can be grown locally. one example is the bow bug tree. it's leaves and fruit are rich in vitamin c that could help combat malnutrition, along with home gardens, which had the subject of ongoing research. we need the studies like this i, we need multiple things like this to understand what policies work out, what strategies work, what strategies do not work, and why under the cisco buying or masters, given the global scale of the problem, often this is all a drop in the ocean was montague and good when we see how local and regional self help organizations benefit from any support they receive. but some turn with their
12:53 am
need y'all. that's hardening and encouraging was all muted. to 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 please do, says patsy from finland. hey classy. what's on the menu, producing meat alternatives, different kinds of dairy products to also sweet ice cream. so on up in finland in northern europe, patio runs us talked of that produces one kilogram of protein powder every day. hey
12:54 am
passing. how do you do this? we haven't mike rope that basically swims around in a body of liquid water in a ferment. i need the for a mentor, we introduce levels of hydrogen and carbon dioxide. and this is what the micro needs to grow and multi life at the mind for up 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, or the whole process with energy. and the micro will grow and grow and grow. and you are a protein product coming out. but passion, how does it taste?
12:55 am
it is neutral in paste. therefore, the taste can be made per application, whether it's sweet or savor or her. 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 product. 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 for the climate that served to leave food for thought. enjoy newfound food is such a basic need. civilization,
12:56 am
societies and communities are built around it. the bonding 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 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
