ah, why are they so invisible to the larger public? we decided to ask them masses, what is the poetry, the secret of a house and i'm housed about their struggles and dreams. my responsibility is hugely has so much to leon. shattering the glass ceiling. women in architecture facilities have to be really, really good. start september 30th on d. w. ah . we live in a world of plenty, yet more than 800000000 people don't have enough to it. but you, one wants to achieve 0100 by 2030 climate change and i'm going population. make
5:31 pm
that a tough challenge on eco, india to be me. explore ways in which agriculture can make a difference. hello, welcome. i'm sunny that i could agriculture is the main source of livelihood for more than half of india's population. most farmers are poor and many struggle to survive. new techniques hold out the promise of improving their productivity and income. one is aqua phonics, a resource saving system that marries fish and vegetable farming. we visited india's fost aqua phonics vintage, which aims to become fully self sufficient for all its full needs. ah ah, you distorted the cold, you fawn for lady and she then began going back to lose on the site
5:32 pm
garden when she heard about an under farming matter, being promoted in our village, she knew she had to put a shock up a coil, although far hello there i started a young lady to learn to eat her lunch, kiss active lansdale, for my fiance and it. so i already had that ability, but when i was told, i love it, we love me and fisher. that's why i said we're on. i don't have those are the i want to try to find out are not the day has become successful with an alarm suck? fuck with la. she know celeste by the aqua phonics system that she set up in 2017. it allows the girl almost all the food for her household of fine loss. she gets to sell the surfaces to others in her village. aqua phonics is an organic hybrid falling system. it combines aquaculture the cultivation of aquatic animals and hydroponics which is forming without thought. simply put,
5:33 pm
it revolves around the continuous flow of what a between the fish tank and a blonde that is more signs to it than meets the eye, the fish and that dang excrete in the water. ammonia and exclaimed is got it through a bite to the blonde, the bacteria, and the bed converts and moon and do nitrate, which serves its nutrients for the plums. the water, which is now free of mooney, it's bumped back done for the fish to grow and aqua bonuses hale as a voter efficient falling metal. studies show that it uses 10 times less what than traditional agriculture. since the plant a non cronum soil, this technique also keeps coin. when busy does it make the use of pesticides? is drew out because they would convention the fish the story of how lee g ended you came to practice equip on wants of the studio of india's 1st echo phonics
5:34 pm
would look at it and kept her home down to rawlings. it goes to efficient community who's economy for centuries, has relied on got from the scene, not fish swamps, but caroline fisher stalks on the threat from old fish pollution. and the effects of climate change on land over cultivation has impacted crop, eats in response offish was launched in echo, panics, palate project in 2016, a local bank. it interest free loans of 20000 rupees, or 250 euros along the technical training that has helped close do. do 100 families set up their own systems at home. now the demand is growing every me in general and they, they probably know. and i, you know, i put in the summer to abilene i, i just found you in the community by an ard on him and with the young a lot resolution of it. i did you, i know listen, i'm one, i'm not going to that. it is
5:35 pm
a mission to sure. kumar has sticking to half the retired quarters of it was one of the 1st to set up an a go up on the system. younger project was long conceras. now, 7 years later, he not only grows all his food would also run screening courses. some a couple forms, not only ensure but in other parts of cadillac, as well as a mistake, like tom will not one go with you and i wanted to get with you. i also to go log on and get janae lou a little it out and there's an amount, you know, you saw a 100 linda pertains if i were not available at all on this. and i was looking at my own feel a little bit longer. it would interest association, i would order with worldliness bulk of anywhere. so there are delivery to the thought of in a more normal unit retail. these workshops offered technical assistance that can be hard to come by and from national have been referred to gillian. that is because there is still ambiguity over which government bond,
5:36 pm
he's actually responsible for this new hybrid method of forming that that might feel like it. and it, and then to me, this is a less frequent incentive. linda, this one of each are do entire apartment. i don't know much about the literature. hardly a godly culture department does live with us. we shouldn't have a think i should underline is not the harder you know what i will. i just, i'm really getting booked upon order then. no hold apart from constant maintenance . there are other limitations that could prevent it were panics from being widely adopted in india, potatoes, carrots and group legends. gym, which need more space in a blonde that can offer and cannot be grown, ease of use investment. the cost to set and the need to continuously bother the system are also considered disadvantages. but experts say the benefits outweigh the
5:37 pm
guns, caribbean and i get them coronel overlaid the sick and requires very living in a more a lot of palatable vase of little, no electricity, and little in latin solar energy and solar panels. bother on the recommended pretty . there is listed in the, the hardware on that really alady the la la, it's the entire year. i think we're looking at about level of beginning. it doesn't get more order to live in a while to load of the city. and they were in by let despite challenges, interest in that performance seems to be picking up in english with farms now among ostrich with roxanne and her young becky children more people from the boss of gun boring to watch and learn from the villages emission success. the past few months have been the busiest focus shall come on her since the beginning of the pendant for him and of the residents. here it is a sign that the book has only just begun now from
5:38 pm
crops in the fields to animals on the farm and strategies to meet a growing global demand for meet with already milking the most out of our life's talk through selective reading and gene editing side to say, we could use the same methods to make me to production more sustainable. the question is, should we manage their monthly hand? they're the pride and joy of their breeders with squeezing as much as we can out of our animals. the world is getting ever hungry, f a meat and milk, but by pushing animals to their limits when doing the same to our planet. but if we can turn our animals into food production machines, couldn't, we also breed them to be more environmentally friendly? this is hardly any ecological nash. we're genetic fuel generics and can't come up
5:39 pm
with a solution. scientists are working on designing more sustainable animals spice, selective breeding, or even by artificially changing the genetic code. revolutionary ways to make food production more sustainable or a dangerous manipulation of nature. for more than 10000 years, we humans have optimized corn and rice harvests and engineers. the key needs to be non toxic, sheep, stronger, and wolves, more obedient. we've been doing this very successfully. this is professor john, do pray. he's an expert on the ethical aspects of animal breeding. i mean, you know, if you, if you compare the growth rate to the sizes of animals. yes, as of the last 2 decades, i mean this could be enormous increases in productivity. the hunger for more and cheaper meet him milk has led to chickens that seemed fully grown at 20 days. double muscled cattle and pigs born with ho extra ribs. in 1961,
5:40 pm
a single cow in the u. s. produced 9 liters of milk per day to days. cows produce an average of 28 liters. that means that 3 breeding, the carbon footprint of one glass of milk is a 3rd of what it was. many decades ago, cow still burp and fart greenhouse gas is, but they also produce much more milk. however, a far higher milk consumption worldwide negates these savings in emissions. and as a brutal flipside to such food production to animals that live in horrific conditions or grow far faster or heavier than their bodies can cope with. and one factor is driving this to ever greater extremes. me consumption is booming around the world. while the global population has roughly tripled in the past 60 years, meat production has increased fivefold with richer countries devouring most of it. livestock farming requires enormous quantities of water and agricultural land for animal feet and contributes more than 14 percent of all man made greenhouse gas
5:41 pm
emissions. and regardless as to how productive our livestock is, the way we produce al food is disastrous for the planet. that's why some research is a trying to improve livestock sustainability, either by selective breeding or by artificially changing the company. aqua bounty from us is that they are genetically modified. fish is more sustainable than traditionally produced salmon. they introduce to genes from other wild fish to create what they call aqua advantage, salmon, the super salmon, as opposed to grow twice as fast as usual salmon, and require up to 25 percent less feed. this is not about sustainability. this is not about producing better animals. this is about when seen a genetically engineered product to the profit of the company. this is donna pulse from the n g o friends of the earth, who advocates against this practice. and we can't seem to do that. there's
5:42 pm
a lot of things that is confidential business information. we asked the company for a statement and access to their scientific data, but hadn't received an answer. by the time we made this video, the us food and drug administration approved the fish unsafe to eat in 2015, but the decision saw heavy backlash from civil society and environmental groups. they took the company to court. there's 3 evidence highlighting the risk of genetically engineered salmon bleed with wild salmon that within a couple generations piled salmon. and not only are ecosystems at risk, the potential benefits of artificial genetic engineering can come at a price undesirable mutations and side effects. in 2020 a u. s. court ruled that the f d. a had failed to sufficiently investigate the environmental consequences of approving genetically engineered salmon. but what about less invasive selective
5:43 pm
breeding? that's when animals with the desired features, a cross bred with each other to boost or disable certain traits. their genes are not directly modified or this shape has one an award, but rather its creators were honored for their contribution to mitigating climate change. and where else could the sheep have been bred than in new zealand where she pound number humans 6 to one? greatest sustainability in its meat and wool industries is key for the country's own net 0 target. we play sickly, discover that we can. we can breed gillespie thing. this is dr. suzanne row for years. she has looked at how she could bump out fuel climate damaging gases. we can change the, the bugs that are in the stomach that, that break down the feet. and we can change the amount of methane that emitted every generation of sheep bread here emits might be less methane than the previous one. and effect that accumulates over time. dr. roe says that apart from burping
5:44 pm
and floating less methane, the sheep are as healthy, unproductive as their high emitting companions. and even meet the criteria for organic farming. to selectively breed the low methane shape. the scientists 1st had to find the nest, gassy ones. so they put the sheep into a special high tech chamber and let them get windy. the sheep here are only used for research purposes, then not sold. the institute is traveling the country, measuring the methane levels of sheep regardless of breed. this means farms can select the more sustainable animals themselves, the so called font chamber could potentially also be used for other graces to. currently the only genetically engineered animals approved for consumption are found in the us and canada. the u is still far from making such a step, but environmentalists and consumer rights advocates fear that could one day change . meanwhile, the u. k. government has already proposed legislation allowing for the commercial
5:45 pm
development of gene edited life stoke. it seems to me likely that this, these could be on some of our plates and in the next few years, ah, let say within the next 5 years, genetic intervention raises questions about potential risks to the environment as well as undesirable side effects. selective breeding could be a safer and more viable alternative, but would demand more effort and time. what's also clear is that the problems that come with milken meat production won't be solved by simply altering our animals the same type of intense hot spills. the league farmers in india, i'd also the, he hasn't on crops yahoo! scientists for instance have linked the what are conditions store for versus low costume vision. on the italian island of sardinia. farmers there have found a jewel take the best hope of combating the swans loom
5:46 pm
a barren landscape. and the last stragglers of a recent locust swarm the insects left a trail of devastation in their wake. also want farmer, anton hello, browse pastures. ready ah, quote, the more there is nothing left. look at the soil and wonder they devoured everything. what look, look here? see how many locus there are. what like one to cover to so the slurry tank is full of locusts. anton aloe had to move his 800 goats to the surrounding countryside, as there was nothing left for them to graze on here. the insect even ate the hay for the winter, which will mean higher costs on a job that's already hardly profitable craft. but normally it's impossible to calculate the damages they cons. 10 o'clock. we've had locust invasion since 2019 recover, but it's never been as bad as this year. so like was to live
5:47 pm
a request on north brookfield an estimated 50000 hector's of land in sardinia have been effected. the epicenter of the plague is the tier, so river valley, so multiple is only the 5th, but this whole area has been ravaged by the locust oscillate. the gallow figure of spunk element they. they moved along the river with a flood plains below this mountain range. for ideal conditions for local seal alley, a sock was that? got they? nothing like that. a little martin dinner, gavin owen, fabio worked for the regional agriculture agency, part of their job is to try to gain control over the past. really kick with thought here this female is langer eggs. sweeter kids that are fe mina, but she digs a whole clear said outside of a nuclear then and go the eggs. we made the low for every female deposits up to 30 eggs 3 times each season. will take chocolate shuttle then these are the pods they laid their eggs in africa,
5:48 pm
3 next to each other. call the internal dish inside that the eggs of the locus, antony aline. the life cycle last from april to july. hello mr. lulu? they lay eggs 3 times, and then they die. that bone of both evolved if we morial. locusts will even eat other dead locusts, fabio says proper plowing of the land is an important tool for combating invasions that it would have an effect. but it may ploughing is important in order to get the eggs out of the ground that went on to the surface. they, because only the can they be eaten by the natural predators that birds, pigs, wild boys or other on the horse from yaya to the chatham public. any marley shall neely arturo cocoa from the university of sorry, research is locusts. he explains multiple factors contribute to locust investigations which began on sardinia in 2019 secret man. there can be, i mean, to climate change plays a big role you mall because we now have long, dry periods eatable receive. on top of that sunday morning,
5:49 pm
moorland has been abandoned tonya garden. it's no longer being cultivated or managed to luck. would be basil and had been very thorough. mm. the use of chemicals is only effective against young locusts. plus, there are large areas where pesticides cannot be used anyway because there devoted to organic farming researchers are therefore relying on natural predators. first and foremost, this beetle malebranche variable us up on that. but then also that ain't bought that we must do whatever it takes to protect and propagates the locus natural predators sooner and they're le, had that. but i thought the only way we could control this infestation would red linkedin seat dowdy quest, the existing face. that's your garvey, no one fabio collect the beatles as they are currently the most successful weapon for preventing future locust plagues that barney lou over arlene, this is a delay. its eggs in the hole where the locusts have their egg salad. when the beat love, i eat the locusts eggs,
5:50 pm
they lay the little we tried to capture as many beetles as possible in places where they're not needed federal and used to where we lead their health out only over magole to national or international. the meno. in 2021 sardine as regional government made a plan to combat the locust plagues. this includes an app for reporting swarms, organic pesticides, and farmers being required to plow their land even now gabino and fabio are working hard so that next summer their native island will be spared from the insects noon. there's a different stretch to farm land over on sardine, neighboring island of sicily. farmers are selling valuable crop land to make way for solar plants and wind farms. that's good news for italy's renewable energy targets, but it's jeopardizing the regions we to use while the area around tra, pony in western cecily is so rich in wind and sun. it smoking a wave of gold rush,
5:51 pm
fever architect antonini, masada says it's an el dorado for renewables to india. vivian, rebuild, prevent every one's lining up. today's kianna french give german. most americans, not just italians, living rooms only that and then hawaii e let international companies want to invest in the production of electricity, which is generated by our wind. little sign wants to so you're bound. so when the wind turbines are turning, that means business is booming for the sicilian mazata broke as licenses for wind and solar parks. that includes fields where green one screw fell the toward us, and angelo still farms his land. here in east in sicily, his family has been growing wheat for generations. he wouldn't dream of sacrificing his land for a solar park or wind farm. but they were availability on him. that would be tragic in the end of a naturally grown product, the yamuna,
5:52 pm
glad they went to the doctor. but right next to his field, there are markings on the road, electricity pylons will soon be built here for a solar park further down in the plane. the mer who is here on site, wanted to see the project stops, so you know why they were going to top of it down to the lab difficult, top lake antonini. a. the investors are exploiting the farmer's financial difficulties. he said he, what they receive rather to be a little money for their crops hagi, but a lot of money for their land all 80 kilometer, who would say no to back to the local stream g. but it would be the end of the tradition and identity of farming here a lot or a lot of rain did that even the italian state is encouraging farmers to profit from the opportunity the vessel, the tortoise st. angelo, his grain is his life within granted that this is all natural, untreated durham, wheat shine, you can tell by the fine flowery powder that sticks to it. j. o family,
5:53 pm
back in west. and cecily antonio, my father and his son, just epi, are looking for land. they still maps and scout around for locations suitable for photovoltaic power plants. they're looking to require at least 60 hector of land sale to renew a warner. elnora and orange is o r 3. only tourney is the terrain as good, and there are no legal restrictions. all the purchase price can be $25000.00 euros per hectare gilchrist. our rule of indian gay miller, you're a dental for the owners. that's a really great deal. no, cuz yawning. the missouri's use a drone to inspect the sight of the future. so le park, they checked the soil for erosion which could hinder construction. if all goes well, renewable energy could soon be produced. here. barrario are what the rate that he of indian grandma you can get a 100000 euros for sewing for hector's, of land on the label, but a former, a mix of 3000 euros, a euclid hector, at best,
5:54 pm
cultivating graeme. and he loved them. let us live on the list bay that when the warrior angler saw more so how many years of work does it take to make as much money as i can get from us straight away love we love you. the liberals will be the renewables instead of farming. many sicilians fear that due to the war in ukraine life on the island could quickly change if the russian gas needed for energy production were to stop flowing. but that creates a conflict of interest. since italy is currently unable to import supplies from the bread baskets of ukraine and russia, italians need to grow more wheat themselves because without grain, this bred or pasta. what been solid okay, shall be on the is on your the can't be acceptable that cover our future energy. nance, we start turning the greenfields of sicily into rows of windmills and solar panels . and yet i'm just facing the landscape gentlemen is not brought in by the door. you local ness and farmers are demanding fair pay for cultivating grain.
5:55 pm
and they say so the power could just as well be produced using rooftop panels without sacrificing 13 farmland and to nino my thought it doesn't understand their concerns and he wants renewables from sicily at any price with the ordinal lovario diesel to the credit union. you have to provide the capacity now because we're running out of russian gas veteran energy narrative, all the have clean energy away. you just have to harness it with that electricity or bread, renewable energy, or farmland. the warm and ukraine is forcing people in sicily to make tough choices to tough choices, like we just saw when only get tougher going for what each one of us is bound to be affected by unsustainable agricultural practices. growing population and climate
