how about hackers? paralyzing the tire societies? computers than elsewhere. you and governments that go crazy for your data. we explain how these technologies work, how they can come in for a group, but how they can also go terribly. watch it now on youtube. oh, oh. 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.
7:31 am
make that a tough challenge on eco india to be me. explore reason, bridge agriculture can make a difference. hello, welcome. i'm son that, that, unquote. agriculture is the mean source of livelihood for more than half of india population. most farmers up work 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 you distorted the cold you fun for lydia and she then began going back to lose on the site. ah,
7:32 am
then once you heard about and under farming matters, being promoted to no village. she knew she had to give it a shot record on alonzo fact another. i started a young lady down to the hurricane affected lansdale and it so i learned that when i was told i love it. i would love the mean sasha. that's why, like i said, going on, i don't know if those are the i want it. i signed up on, on the day has become successful with my lorna, fuck, fuck with law. she knows waves by the equip onyx system that she set up in 2017. it allows the girl 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 aqua guns that go duration of aquatic animals and hydroponics which is forming without thought simply but it revolves around the
7:33 am
continuous flow. what a between the fish tank and a blonde that is more science to which than meets the eye, the fish and that dang excrete in the water. ammonia and exclaimed, is getting through a bite to the blonde, the bacteria, and the bed converts and moon and do nitrate, which serves its nutrients for the plumps. the water, which is now free of mooney, it's pumped back, done for the fish to grow and aqua bonuses, hail water efficient forming metal. studies show that it uses 10 times less what than traditional agriculture. since the plant on not grown on soil, this technique also keeps soil when diseases and make use of pesticides is due out because they would condense the fish the story of how luigi and, and you came to practice equip on walls of the studio in years 1st
7:34 am
a co phonics were located 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 over fishing pollution. and the effects of climate change on land over cultivation has impacted crop. eats in response office was launched in echo upon exp, palate project in 2016. a local bank provided interest, free loans, of 20000 rupees, or 250 euros along with the technical training that has helped close do. do 100 families set up their own systems at home? now, demand is growing. in every range on the la la, you probably know what i, you know, i can the cell number that i found your community by her daughter and one of the young a lot of research. none of it. i think the general us, i'm one, i'm not going to be going to that it is the listen to circle mark has stick into
7:35 am
hot the retired quarters off. it was one of the 1st to set up an a go up on a system when the project was long conceras. now, 7 years later, he not only grows all his food would also run to training courses. amicable bombings, not only ensure, but in other parts of cadillac, as well as in the states, like daniel nod when go. what about you and i wanted you to look at it also to go along. we're going to get your name or will it all it out? i don't know your name isn't around she nissan, a 100 belinda were saying that i was not available at all on this on i was looking on my own for men to push along the residence association. i would order with anyone durtin to written it out of in a more normal unit with these workshops offered technical assistance that can be hard to come by and from 1130000000. that is because there
7:36 am
is still ambiguity over which government body is actually responsible for this new hybrid method of farming. another might feel like a good it. and then to me, this is a speech and identity. linda, this latin of each are to internal order department. i don't know much about the literature agriculture department does leave. i did a bug officially never did guy. so did i lose your life or 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 plant that can offer and can not be grown. ease of use investment. the cost to set and the need to continuously bol with a system are also considered disadvantages. but experts say the benefits outweigh
7:37 am
the dogs. good album coronel lloyd, the take away is very living in a more a lot of palo civil visit, our electricity lighting, lillian lamb, so in energy and so tenuous, bother on the recommended procedures listed in the the hardware doesn't really ality the law, the read the entire you del ringwood level of the gear and you don't get more or little bit of wires loaded for city. they were in by let despite challenges, interest in our california seems to be picking up in india with farms now in monroe street, with roxanne and the 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
7:38 am
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 and can't come up with a solution. scientists are working on designing more sustainable animals spice,
7:39 am
selective breeding, or even by artificially changing their 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 the 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 bone with 4 extra ribs. in 1961, a single cow in the u. s. produced 9 liters of milk per day to days. cows produce
7:40 am
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 fought 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 her rift conditions or grow far faster or heavier than their bodies can cope with. and one factor is driving this to ever greater extremes. meet 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
7:41 am
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 bouncy from us is that they are 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. these super salmon is supposed to grow twice as fast as usual salmon, and require up to 25 percent less feed. this is not about an sustainability that is not about producing better animals. this is the outward in seeing a genetically engineered product for the profit of the company. this is donna pulse from the n g o friends of the us who advocates against this practice. and we can't
7:42 am
seem to be there's a lot of think of it 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 as safe to eat in 2015, but the decision saw heavy backlash from civil society and environmental groups. they took the company to court. there's some evidence highlighting this to be genetically engineered salmon bleed while that will in a couple generations i'll examine 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
7:43 am
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 of being 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 a clue, discover 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, fewer climate damaging gases. we can change the, the bugs that are in the stomach that break down the fleet. and we can change the amount of methane that's emitted every generation of sheep bread here emits slightly less methane than the previous one. an effect that accumulates over time.
7:44 am
dr. roe says that apart from burping and floating less me saying 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 and 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,
7:45 am
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 with 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 car animals. the same type of intense hot spills, the league farmers in india, also wreaking havoc on crops in europe. scientists, for instance, have linked the what are conditions, torque resources, look, osteen vision on the italian island of sardinia? farmers there have found age old picnics. the best hope of combating the swans need
7:46 am
in a barren landscape. and the last stragglers of a recent locust swarm the insects left a trail of devastation in their wake. although on farmer, anton hello, browse pastures. ready lou calling with the money, there is nothing left. look at the soil and wonder. they devoured everything. what look, look here. see how many locust 30. what like one to cover with the shuttle. 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 cost on a job that's already hardly profitable craft. but normally it's impossible to calculate. the damage is the constant o'clock. we've had locust invasion since 2019 . come on, but it's never been as bad as this year. so like was to live in the course time
7:47 am
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, the spunk helmet they. they moved along the river with a flood plains below this mountain range, offer ideal conditions for local seal ali. a soap talk was that got they nothing like that, a little more beginner cavenella, 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 because there are femina, but she digs a whole, clear said outside of an all clear then and go the eggs we made the low for every female deposits up to 30 eggs 3 times each season. will take talk with shuttle, stella. these are the pods they. they their eggs in africa, 3 next to each other called the internal dish inside that the eggs of the loca.
7:48 am
secondly, aline. their life cycle. last from april to july. i'm at the lulu. they lay eggs 3 times, and then they die that but one of that, that evolved. if we more you sauces, 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 there can they be eaten by the natural predators that burns pigs wild boys or other on the force from earlier to the chatham public. any mileage shall neely arturo cocoa from the university of sorry, research is locusts. he explains multiple factors contribute to locust infestation, which began on sardinia in 2019 sequence man. they 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,
7:49 am
moorland has been abandoned on your garden. it's no longer being cultivated or managed to lock would be what's your name? the very thought of them. 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 bothered up on the north, that ain't bought, that we must do whatever it takes to protect and propagate the locus natural predators soon. and their la had that. but i thought the only way we could control this infestation would red linkedin seat that request they'd 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 blades that barley woven. arlene, this is a delay, its eggs in the hole where the locusts have their eggs. solid, thick. in the linda beat, love i eat the locusts eggs. they lay. they were tried to capture as many beetles
7:50 am
as possible in places where they're not needed that of oral and used and where we lead their health out. only over magole tennis on law generally mainly in 2021 sardine as regional government made a plan to and bath 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 lou, there's a different threat to farm land or on santini as 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 tease. while the area around tra, pony in western cecily is so rich in wind and sun. it smoking a wave of gold rush,
7:51 am
fever architect unto nena masada said it's an el dorado for renewables to india. vivian, rebuild, prevent every one's lining up. if the i'm a french german was americans, not just italians on only that. and then hawaii e, like international companies, want to invest in the production of electricity generated by our wind, little sign wants to. so your bill. 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 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 a soda park or wind farm that had been availability on him. that would be tragic in the end of a naturally grown product, the yamuna,
7:52 am
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 man who is here on site wanted to see the project stops, so you know why they were going to the top of it down to the lab. difficult thought lake antonini as the investors are exploiting the farmer's financial difficulty, as he said he, what they receive rather to be a little money for their crops, hardy, 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 theda. even the italian state is encouraging farmers to profit from the opportunity that the salvatore 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. that way,
7:53 am
back in west and cecily antonio, my father and his son just appear, 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 it 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 and rule of imaging way. miller, your aid, dental for the owners, got a really great deal. no cause yawning. the missouri's use a drone to inspect the sight of the future. so le park, they checked the soil fe, erosion which could hinder construction. if all goes well, renewable energy could soon be produced here. comparable diary. ha, what? right? 30 of indian grandma. you can get a 100000 euros for selling for hector's of land. but
7:54 am
a former mixed has $3000.00 euros a year for hector, a best cultivating graeme and 11 arrows over the left bay. that 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, 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 always on the can't be acceptable. the to hover our future energy. nance, we start carrying the greenfields of sicily into rows of windmills and solar panels lining it up. just based on the landscape gentlemen is not boring. very doria, local ness and farmers are demanding fair pay for cultivating grain. and they say
7:55 am
so the power could just as well be produced using rooftop panels without sacrificing 30 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. the, the credit union, we have to provide the capacity now because we're running out of rushing gas veteran energy dodge of all the 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
