are already successfully using it. now an entire community and corolla wants to become self sufficient. so how does actual upon things work? eco, india next thought d w. ah, what people have to say matters to us. i am. that's why we listen to their stories. reporter every weekend 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 that a tough challenge. on eco, india, to be me, explore reason which agriculture can make a difference. hello, welcome. i'm son that i 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 village which aims to become fully self sufficient for all its full needs. ah it distorted the cold you pharmacology and she then began

going back to lose on the side then when she heard about an under farming matter, been promoted enough village. she knew she had to put a shock up a coil, marlow fac, another. i started a young lady to dance, to leave her account active lansdale for my fiance and it. so i already have it here. but when i was told i love it. no, you love me extension. that's why i said we're on. i don't think those are the i want it i signed up on on a day has become successful. and i wanna fuck fuck with law. she knows who lives by the aqua bonnet system that she set up in 2017. it a love to grow almost all the food for her household of 5 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 plump that is more science to which than meets the eye, the fish and that done excrete in the void. ammonia and excrete is garrett through a bite to the blonde. the bacteria and the bed converts and moon and do nitrate, which serves as nutrients for the plums. the water, which is now free of mooney, it's bumped back, done for the fish to grow. and aqua bonus is hale as a voter efficient falling metal. studies show that it uses 10 times less what than traditional agriculture. since the plant a non grown on soil, this technique also keeps coin when diseases and make use of pesticides is due out because they would condense the fish the story of how li g and,

and you came to practice a co farms wall to the studio of india's 1st echo phonics were located in care of 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 fish pollution and the effects of climate change on land over cultivation has impacted crop, eats in response officials launch. nick, upon exp, pallet project in 2016. a local bank provided interest, free loans, of 20000 rupees, or 250 euros along with technical training. that has helped close do. do 100 families set up their own systems at home? now demand is growing every manage on the la la. hey paula: well you know what? i you know, what can the cell number that i found your new community by an ard on him and one

of the young a lot of it. i think the general us, i'm one, i'm not going to be going to that it is a mission to show camaro has taken too 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 courses. some a couple forms, not only ensure but in other parts of cadillac, as well as in the states like tom is not one go. what about it? he wanted to do it also to get along were gonna get your nailer, will it all it out? i know your name was under monkey nissan. i got a 100 linda pertains available at all on this, on this along the residence association. our daughter was the ones that they really don't have any or do they really did it 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. another might feel like it and it, and then to me, this is a speech and identity. linda did gunned and it is one of each our to entire our department. well, i don't know much about the literature or your godly culture. department does leave it up if we shouldn't have a dig. i should. i will. your law 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 expert thinking, the benefits outweigh the guns. and i given them coronel overload the take and requires a very living in lamar, a lot of palo civil visitor, little, not electricity, langley land, solar energy, and solar panels. bother on the recommended procedures listed in with me the hardware on. i'm only alady the le le let me read the entire yodel and ring. we're looking at 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 becky, sure more people from under bosses kinda boring to watch and learn from the villages emission success. the past few months have been the busiest focus. sure. come on her since the beginning of dependent for him and other residents. 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 stouter for life's talk through selective reading and gene editing, signed to see we could use the same methods to make me to production more sustainable. the question is, should we man nod? they're mostly 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, we're 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? there 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 spies, 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, 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, over the last 2 decades, i mean this bleed enormous increases in productivity. the hunger for more and cheaper meter milk has led to chickens that seem fully grown at 20 days. double muscled cattle and pigs borne with for extra ribs. in 1961,

a single cow in the u. s. produced to 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 fart 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 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. meat 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 their 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. 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 an sustainability that this is not about producing better animals. this is the output 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 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 as safe to eat in 2015. but the decisions, so heavy backlash from civil society and environmental groups, they took the company to court. there's literally evidence highlighting this if genetically engineered salmon with wild salmon that will in a couple generations by old sammy 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 for, for less way. then. 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 emitted every generation of sheep bread here emits slightly less methane 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 for 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 e. 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 light stock. 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 with 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 car animals. the same type of intense hot spills that league farmers in india, i'd also wreaking havoc on crops in europe. scientists, for instance, have linked the horton conditions store for versus low costume vision. on the italian island of sardinia. farmers there have found a jewel take hooks. the best hope of combating the swans

unique awe of barren landscape. and the last stragglers of a recent locust swarm, the insects left a trail of devastation in their wake. although on farmer and aloe browse pastures. ready lou close to the market, 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 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 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 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 multiple is only the 5th, but this whole area has been ravaged by the locust oscillate. the gallow figure the sponge 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 the 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 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 talk is stripped of them. 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 locust, ne aline. the life cycle last from april to july, harlem at the lulu, they lay eggs 3 times, and then they die. that bone of better evolved if we more you. 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 their can, they be eaten by their natural predators, burns, pigs wild boys or other on the forced from dahlia to authority. m break any mildly shown legally. 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 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 son know more and more land has been abandoned on your garden. it's no longer being cultivated or managed to liquidity. bazzi on i've 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 our 3rd up on the north, that are important 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 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 barinello 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, they were tried to capture as many beetles as possible and places where they are not needed, terrible and used. and where we lead their help out. only over marguerite tennis channel, or generational. the meno in 2021 sardine as regional government made a plan to in bath. the locust plague smith. 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 threat to farm land or on sardine 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 is renewable energy targets, but it's jeopardizing the regions we tease. while the area around tra

piney in western, cecily is so rich in wind and sun. it smoking a wave of gold rush, fever architect, and tanina, masada said it's an el dorado for renewables. t in there is the reason we don't prevent every one's lining up. if you have a french german, most americans not just italians. living rooms only then, and then we e, like international companies, want to invest in the production of electricity, which is generated by our wind sign. want 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 silva toward us 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 park or wind farm. but i been availability on him that would be

tragic in the end of a naturally grown product, the yamuna. 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 or you know why they were going to the 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 theda. even the italian state is encouraging farmers to profit and the opportunity that the salvatore st. angelo is grain is his life. christie on granted that this is all natural, untreated durham,

wheat shine. you can tell by the fine flowery powder that sticks too. it gay? ha ha! back in west. and cecily antonio, my father and his son, giuseppe 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 oranges are 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. a vision way below your aid. dental for the owners. got a really great deal. no, cuz the only the missouri's use a drone to inspect the sight of the future. so the park, they checked the soil fe erosion which could hinder construction. if all goes well, renewable energy could soon be produced here. comparable diarrhea. ha, 330 of indian grandma. you can get

a 100000 euros for selling for hector's of land. busy 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 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 your d. n. a can't be acceptable. the to hover our future energy, nance, we start turning the greenfields of sicily into rows of windmills and solar panel lang. my da, 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 brief top panels without sacrificing fertile farmland and tanina. my thought it doesn't understand their concerns. he wants renewables from sicily at any price with golden rule, lovario, diesel, j the credit union. we 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 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, will 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

who for 70 years she was a great comfort during turbulent times for many brit. queen elizabeth the 2nd devoted monarch who gave everything for her country and she was love for it. now

her son charles has ascended the throne. i shall strive to follow the inspiring example. i have been since focused on your being 30 minutes on d, w, and the conflict. so with tim, sebastian, russia has suffered key reversals on the battlefield. that's curious. horses have come to attacked and teased back a wide sway of territory. my guest this week from moscow is andre kalashnikov, senior fellow, as i think time to come, get endowment for international peace amounts. among some of la putin supporters whoa is flicked zone with 90 minutes. on d, w. o is the end of the pandemic in sight. we show what it could look like.

return in the normal and we visit those who are finding it difficult with success in our weekly coping 19 special. every thursday on d w. a vibrant habitat, lou ended the listening place of longing, mediterranean c, a. l. muster, and to follow a dual career drift along with exploring modern lifestyles and the mediterranean meeting, people actually hearing their dreams ready to lead journey this week on d. w. ah

ah ah ah, this is dw news life from berlin, a show of support for ukraine's european aspirations. e t 4 tla fund align, arrives in the capital key for talks on the close the integration of ukraine into e. you structures. the visit comes a day off.
