the cities, the mosaic of different people and languages. iran's mountains reveal unparalleled beauty. the scenery is magnificent, but people are warm and it was exceptionally a special look at a special country. iran from above. start september 16th on d. w. with 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 that a tough challenge on eco india to be me. explore reason big agriculture can make a difference. hello, welcome. i'm son that i'm 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 vegetables farming. we visited india's 1st aqua phonics vintage, which aims to become fully self sufficient for all its full needs. ah, it is daunted, the cold you fun for logy. and she then began going back to lose on the side

garden when she heard about an under farming matter, being promoted in our village. she knew she had to give it a shot up a coil. although far out there, i started a young lady to love to eat her lunch case, active lansdale, for my fiance and it. so i live in arlington, but when i was told i love it, we love the 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 and i wanna fuck, fuck with love. she knows where to buy the aqua bonnets system that she set up in 2017. it allowed to grow almost all the food for her household of 5 lost. she gets to sell the surface to others. and herbal aqua phonics is an organic hybrid falling system. it combines aquaculture the cal derision of aquatic animals and hydroponics which is forming without soy. simply put,

it revolves around the continuous floor. what are between the fish tank and a blond there is more science to which than meets the on the fish and that done excrete in the work. ammonia in your exclaimed is gathered through a bite to the blonde, the bacteria, and the bed converts and mooney, and do nitrate, which serves as nutrients for the plumps. the water, which is now free of money, it's bumped back, done for the fish to grove aqua performances hail as a voter efficient forming metal. studies show that it uses 10 times less than traditional agriculture. since the plans are not grown, i'm sorry. this technique also keeps sawyer when diseases and make use of best to son is drew out because they would condense the fish the story of how luigi ended, you came to practice a quote bar. also the story of india's 1st echo phonics were located and kept her

home down to rawlings. it goes to efficient community who's economy for centuries, has relied on gach from the scene lock fish farms. but gara lost fisher stalks on the threat from old fish pollution and the effects of climate change on land over cultivation has impacted crop eaters. in response officials launch neck upon exp, palate project. in 2016, a local bank provided interest free loans of 20000 rupees, or 250 euros along the technical trailing. that has helped close to $200.00 families set up their own systems at home. now, demand is growing. every mean channel at a boat while you know, and i, you know, on the cell number that i found you in the community paying out on him and the young a lot resolution of it. i think the general us, i'm one, i'm not going to that it is

a mission to show. kumar has stick into hot. the retired chorused off was one of the 1st to set up an a go up on the system when the project was long. conceras. now, 7 years later, he not only grows all his food would also run screening, causing some companies not only ensure but in other parts of cadillac as well as a mistake, like damage not one go. what about it? well, i'm one of you all sitting alone, we're gonna get your nailer, will it all it out and there's an amount janisa i got a 100 and i don't want that. we're saying that i will not have anyone all on this. i mean, i was looking at my own feel over mental vision long. that evidence is sufficient. i would order with worldliness, talk of any or thought dirt than they were it and 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 he's

actually responsible for this new hybrid method of forming that might feel like it in it. and then to me, this is a street and event linda, this one of each are do entire order department. oh, i don't know much about the literature. hardly a godly culture department does leave it because we shouldn't have a think i should underline all is not the harder you know what i little i'm really getting booked upon order then. no hold apart from constant maintenance. there are other limitations that could prevent equip onyx from being widely adopted in india, potatoes, carrots and group legends, gym, which need more space in a blond that can offer and can not be grown. ease of use, investment. the cost to set and the need to continuously ball with the system are also considered disadvantages. but experts say the benefits outweigh the downside

caribbean and i give 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 so tenuous. bother on the recommended pretty. there is listed in the, the hardware, not only are there any the la la la, the entire you dial entering. we're looking at about level of beginning. it doesn't get more or little bit away and loaded for city. and they were in by let despite challenges, interest in our klafonya seems to be picking up in english with farms now among ostrich with roxanne and her young back to jerome. more people from the boss of gunner 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 residence. here it is a sign that the book has only just begun. now from

crops in the fields to animals on the farm and strategies to meet a growing global demand for meet with already milking the more start to fall. 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 hands there, 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. i can't come up

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 lead 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 borne with ho extra ribs. in 1961, 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. cows still burp and font greenhouse gases, 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

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 there genetically modified fish is more sustainable than traditionally produce salmon. they introduce to genes from other wild fish to create what they call aqua advantage, salmon. these 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 you see 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

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 2 separate cousins, highlighting the rest of the, of genetically engineered salmon bleed with wild salmon that within a couple generations, pilots, 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

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 won an award, or 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 pout 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 a leslie thing. this is dr. suzanne ro 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 breakdown the feet. and we could change the amount of methane that emitted every generation of sheep bread here emits might be less me thing than the previous one. and effect that accumulates over time. dr. roe says that apart from burping

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 ness, 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

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 cost in lesion on the italian island of sardinia. farmers there have found a jewel take the best hope of combating the swans loom

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. mm. ready mm hm. there is nothing left. look at the soil and wonderful. they devoured everything one look, look here. see how many locus there are? what like one to cover to so 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 crap. but normally it's impossible to calculate. the damage is the constant. norfolk, we've had locust invasion since 2019 recover, but it's never been as bad as this year. so like was to live

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 not that it's 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 the flood plains below this mountain range, offer ideal conditions for local cl alley, a sock, was that? got they not kick like out the little martinez, gavin owen, fabio worked for the regional agriculture agency. part of their job is to try to gain control over the past. really cake with thought. here this female is langer eggs. sweet because our fe mina. she digs a whole clear said outside of a nuclear then and go the eggs we met they leeward 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, 3 next to each other. call the internal dish inside that the eggs of the locus,

antony aline. their life cycle. last from april to july hollow metal lulu, they lay eggs 3 times, and then they die that belong. but that evolved if we morial. locusts will even eat other dead locusts, fabio says proper ploughing of the land is an important tool for combating invasions that have to have an effect. but it may ploughing is important in order to get the eggs out of the ground and onto the surface. because only the can they be eaten by the natural predators that birds, pigs, wild boys are there on the horse from yaya to the chatham public. any marley shall neely arturo cocoa from the university of sorry, research. as locusts. he explains multiple factors contribute to locust investigations which began on sardinia in 2019 secret man. there it can be, i mean the climate change plays a big role you mall because we now have long, dry periods eatable receive. on top of that sunday morning,

moorland has been abandoned tonya garden. it's no longer being cultivated or managed to lock, will give us your net, the very thought. mm. the use of chemicals is only effective against young locusts . plus, there are large areas where pesticides cannot be used anyway because they're devoted to organic farming. researchers are therefore relying on natural predators. first and foremost, this beetle malebranche, variable, us that bother about the nostra 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 can troll vis infestation would red linkedin seat dowdy quest. they be questing for us. that's your garvey, no one fabio collect the beatles as they are currently the most successful weapon for preventing future locust plagues that bonnie lou over arlene, this is a delay. it's eggs in the hole where the locusts have their egg salad, that when the beat love, i eat the locusts eggs they live,

they live. we try to capture as many beatles as possible and 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 sardinia, neighboring island of sicily, farmers are selling valuable crop land to make way for solar plants and wind farms . that's good news. we're italy's renewable energy targets, but it's jeopardizing the regions. we tease the area around tra, pony in western cecily is so rich in wind and sun, it smoking a wave of gold rush,

fever architect antonini, masada says it's an el dorado for renewables to india. video. if you don't prevent every one's lining up, today's kianna french, your german americans, not just italians on go to that. and then we have international companies want to invest in the production of electricity generated by our wind. little sign wants to solve your bill. so when the wind turbines are turning, that means business is booming for the sicilian mazata broke as licenses for wind and soda parks. that includes fields where green one screw fell, the tortoise and angelo still farms his land. here in eastern sicily, his family has been growing wheat for generations. he wouldn't dream of sacrificing his land for solar pollock or wind farm. i've been when i've had a delivery on it. that would be tragic in the end of a naturally grown product,

the yamuna. glad they wanna set it up 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 man who is here on site wanted to see the project stops. so you know why they were going to recap of it down to the lab difficult, top lake antonini egg. the investors are exploiting the farmers financial difficulty of the city when they receive relatively little money for their crops, had leap, but a lot of money for their land o. u. k. carrington, who would say no to that 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 that resolves toward a st. angelo, his grain is his life within granted that this is all natural, untreated durham, we'd shine, you can tell by the fine flowery powder that sticks to it. j. o family,

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 rogers on all 3 only tuning is the terrain is good and there are no legal restrictions. all the purchase price can be $25000.00 euros per hectare gilchrist. our little of indian gay miller, you're a dental for the owners. got 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 on friday. ha, what? 330 of indian grandma, you can get a 100000 euros for selling for hector's, of land on the label. but a farmer makes us 3000 years a year. quote hector,

at best cultivating graeme and he loved them in arrows over the last day that when the warrior angler saw more so how many years of work does it take to make as much money as they can get from us straight away love we love you the little bit us 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 basket of ukraine and russia, italians need to grow more wheat themselves. because without grain, this bred or pasta. what been solid? okay. i'll be on the is on your the can't be acceptable. the to cover our future energy. nance, we start turning the greenfields of sicily into rows of windmills and solar panel lining it up into space from the landscape gentlemen is not brought in by the door . you local ness and farmers are demanding fair pay for cultivating grain.

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 ordinal lavario, diesel. okay. the credit union, you have to provide the capacity now because we're running out of rushing gas, you'll get an idea that it only have clean energy and you just have to harness it was with electricity or bread, renewable energy, or farmland. the warming ukraine is forcing people in sicily to make tough choices to stuff 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 change,
