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 that a tough challenge on eco india to be. we explore reason which agriculture can make a difference. hello, welcome. i'm sunny that uncle. agriculture is the mean 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 village which aims to become fully self sufficient for all its food needs. ah ah it distorted the cold you fun for lydia and she then began going back to lose on the site then when she had about another farming matter, being promoted to no village, she knew who she had to give it a shot record on alonzo fact i'm not there, i start getting ready to dance till he had got a gift of lansdale and it's all up. i'd already have a pharmacy, but when i was told i love it. i love the mean facia. that's why, like i said, we're on. i don't know, those are the i wanted to find out on the day has become successful. my lorna. fuck,

fuck with love. she knows who lives by the aqua phonics system that she set up in 2017. it allows to grow almost all the food for her household of fight lost. she gets to sell the surface to others in her village. aqua phonics is an organic hybrid falling system. it combines aquaculture, the cold derision of aquatic animals and hydroponics which is forming without thought. simply put, it revolves around the continuous flow of what a between the fish tank and a plant that is more science to it than meets the on the fish. and that done excrete in the water. ammonia and exclaimed is getting through a bite to the blonde, the bacteria and the bed converts and moon, and deny creaks which serves as nutrients for the plumps. the water, which is now free of mooney. it's bumped back done for the fish to grow,

and aqua bonuses hail as water efficient forming metal. studies show that it uses 10 times less what than traditional agriculture. since the plans are not, and i'm sorry, this technique also keeps coin one diseases and make use of bester thought is due out because they would condense the fish the story of how luigi and, and you came to practice equipment wall to the studio of india's 1st echo phonics would look at it and kept her home down to rhymes and goes to fishing. community who's economy for centuries has relied on got from the scene, not fish farms. but caroline fisher stalks on the threat from over fish pollution and the effects of climate change on land over cultivation has impacted crop eaters. in response office was launch nick, upon expanded project in 2016. a local bank provided interest free loans of 20000

rupees, or 250 euros along the technical training. that has helped close to $200.00 families set up their own systems at home. now, demand is growing. every manager on the law, they probably know what i want in the summer that but i just found you in the community by an ard on him and the young a lot resume to which none of it i did your lesson. i'm one, i'm not going to be going to that it is a mission to show komatt has stick into hot the retired quarters of it was one of the 1st to set up and a go up on the system under project was long conceras. now, 7 years later, he not only grows all his food would also run to training course some a couple of forms, not only ensure, but in other parts of cadillac as well as in the states like tom is not when go. what about it? you and i wanted you to look at it also to get along were gonna get your nailer,

will it all it out? i know your name was under frankie nissan. i got a 100 a month ago saying that i would go to any loan all on this on this along the residence association, our daughter with any or do they, we did it out of in a more normal unit with these workshops offered technical assistance that can be hard to come by 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 farming. that might feel like it in it. and then to me, this is a street under lindy linda. and, and it just, one of each are do entire order department. oh, i don't know much about the literature or your godly culture. department does leave it cuz we shouldn't have a think i should around the world is not the harder you know what i little i'm

really getting booked upon order then. no hold a bought 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 blond that can offer can not be grown. ease of use him to smith, the cost a 2nd, and the need to continuously ball with a system are also considered disadvantages. but experts say the benefits outweigh the guns. and i given them coronel overload the take and requires a very living lamar, a lot of palo civil visit, with all, no electricity in latin solar energy and solar panels. bother on the recommended procedures listed in the the hardware on, i'm only alady the lola image, the entire you at alan ringwood. and then about level of beginning it doesn't get more or less than a 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 arianna back to jerome. more people from the boss of guns boring to watch and learn from the villages in mission success. the past few months have been the busiest focus your commer since the beginning of the pendant for him and other residents. here it is a sign that the work 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 most out of our life's talk through selective reading and gene editing find 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 planets. 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 logical ne swear 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 of optimized corn and rice harvests and engineered zucchini 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, it's been enormous increases in productivity. the hunger for more and cheaper meet him milk has led to chickens that seem fully grown at 20 days. double muscled cattle and pigs born 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. 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 meet production has increased fivefold with richer countries devouring most of it. livestock farming requires enormous quantities of water and agricultural land for animal feed 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 all food is disastrous for the planet. that's why some research is trying to improve livestock sustainability, either by selective breeding or by artificially changing the company. aqua bounty from us is that they're genetically modified. fish is more sustainable than traditionally produced salmon. they introduced to genes from other wild fish to create what they call aqua advantage salmon. the super salmon are supposed to grow

twice as fast as usual, salmon, and require up to 25 percent less feed. this is not about sustainability that this is not about producing better animals. this is about producing a genetically engineered product for 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. this 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 evidence highlighting the this.

the genetically engineered salmon bleed with wild salmon, that within a couple generations i'll examine i 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 which 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 place at clay, discovered that we can, we can breathe full unless we think this is dr. suzanne ro, for years she has looked at how she could burp out fuel climate damaging gases. we can change the, the bugs that are in the stomach that break down the feet. and we can change the amount of methane that emitted every generation of sheep bread here emits slightly 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 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 development of gene edited livestock. 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 was 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 that league farmers in india, i'll also re, he hasn't on crops yahoo! scientists for instance have linked the horton collision store for versus lucas collision on the italian island of sardinia. farmers, there have found a jewel take the best hope of combating the swans neatly with 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 and aloe browse pastures. ah, on the market there is nothing left. knock at the soil and wonder. they devoured everything. what look, look here?

see how many locust there are. what like one to cover with to so the slurry tank is full of locusts. anton hello, 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. the cons. 10 o'clock. we've had locust invasion since 2019 look a little, but it's never been as bad as this year. so like was to live in a request on our pro fill 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, the spunk element they. they moved along the river with a flood plains below this mountain range. oh, for ideal conditions for local seal ali, a soap talk was that got they like it like that a little mardina, 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 laying her eggs. the grid that are femina, but she digs a whole. clear said outside of an all clear then and go the eggs we met they leeward for every female deposits up to 30 eggs 3 times each season will take tuck it, shut off there. these are the pods. they laid their eggs in africa, 3 next to each other. well then don't dish inside that the eggs. if the locus anthony aline, their 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 ploughing 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 land onto 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 dahlia 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 infestation, which began on sardinia in 2019 secret man. there 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 son know more and more land has been abandoned, unequal. it's no longer been cultivated or managed to luck with the bazzi on. i've been very thought. mm. the use of chemicals is only effective against to 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 our 3rd up on the north, that are important that we must do whatever it takes to protect and propagates the

locusts natural predators soon. and their la had that. but i thought the only way we could control vis infestation would red linkedin seat that request they be questing for us. that's your gabino and fabio collect the beatles as they are currently the most successful weapon for preventing future locust plagues that bonnie lu over. arlene, this is a delay. its eggs in the hole where the locusts have their egg salad. in the linda beat. love i eat the locusts eggs they live, we tried to capture as many beetles as possible and places where they're not needed . they had to waddle and used and where we lead their help out only over my guy, the tennis channel, or generational the meno in 2021 sardine as regional government, made a plan to combat the locust plagues. but 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 with tears. while the area around tra piney in western, cecily is so rich in wind and sun, it smoking, a wave of gold rush viva architect. and to nina my father said it's an el dorado for renewables. t in the video. we don't prevent every one's lining up. if you have a french german, most americans not just italians on only that, and then hawaii e let international companies want to invest in the production of electricity, which is generated by our wind sign one. there's only a bow 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 grain once grew, fell the tortoise 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 solar park or wind farm. but i don't have it done with your name. that would be tragic in the end of a naturally grown product, the yamuna. glad. they're one of the data, 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 man who is here on site wanted to see the project stopped or you know why they were in top of it down to the lab difficult thought lake antonini a. the investors are exploiting the farmer's financial difficulties. he said he, what they received rather to be a little money for their crops haley, 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 that resolves toward a 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, back in west. and cecily antonio, my father and his son, just epi, are looking for land. they studied maps and scout around for locations suitable for photovoltaic power plants. they're looking to require at least 60 hector of land sale did 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

animal of engine gay. miller, you're a dental for the owners. got a really great deal. no glass yawning. the missouri's use a drone to inspect the sight of the future solar park. they checked the soil for erosion which could hinder construction. if all goes well, renewable energy could soon be produced here. comparable diarrhea. ha, 330 of indian grammy life and get a 100000 euros for selling for hector's of land. but a farmer makes us $3000.00 euros a year for hector, at best cultivating graeme. and he loved them in arrows over the last visit when the warrior english saw more so how many years of work does it take to make as much money as i can get from our straight away love. we love you a little bit, a little bit of 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 sorry. okay. charlie on his, on your dear cant be acceptable, the to hover our future energy. nance, we start turning the greenfield of sicily into rows of windmills and solar panels on your mind is facing the landscape gentlemen is not boiling. very doyle, local mass 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 fertile farmland and tanina. my thought it doesn't understand their concerns and he wants renewables from sicily at any price with golden rule. freeman lovario, diesel, the the credit union, you have to provide the capacity now because we're running out of rushing gas

veteran energy narrative only have clean energy away. you just have to harness it with that electricity or bread, renewable energy, or farmland. the warm in 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 change, the time to speak out for change is now. i'll leave you with that and see you again next week. good bye. and thanks for watching. with

ah, ah, with ah, in good shape. we are being constantly exposed to substances that are toxic to our body. how do we protect ourselves and our bodies from talks and the one found in nature and created in manufacturing?
