turmalia ah, it's waters and connect people of many cultures seen of muster. and to far abdul karim drift along with exploring modern lifestyles and mediterranean, where has history left its traces leading legal hearing their dreams mediterranean during this week on d w. ah, no. i think that it, insects are unpleasant,

things that call round causing damage. it's the cockroach, behind the sink, bugs that transmit diseases, things that destroy crops i feel they can do. lucas jones goes to consumers think they should just reach for the bug spray any time a bug could buy tele bomba. i think the seed most people either have an aversion to infect or they just don't know or don't care. and let me know, fix that feeling. i have less sex, appealed, and elephants rang a tangs or panders bond that i cannot identify with the slug a grasshopper or a cockroach. it's much harder will continue. she seen the agro chemical industry is silently causing our planets buzzing and rustling to go quiet . now this is the worst mass extinction of anthem the planet as ever

experienced. we're losing species at a rate that earth has never experienced before. this is worse than the dinosaurs dying off. not altogether. them abuse jeopardy. no driver over 45 to day. can see there's been a huge change in the environment. so but when you drive 200 kilometers in a car for a single insect, it's the windshield. and i think up when you repay it driving to your summer vacation, you have to clean the bugs off the windshield every 2 hours. i sat, a pool and 3 bath doesn't happen anymore. let me sack becomes the driver's experiences were confirmed by a german study in western europe since 1990, 75 percent of the invertebrate population has disappeared. and as a result, subsequent food chains are now also under threat. fish are vanishing from rivers and birds from the skies.

ah, a new class of super powerful and decides that emerged in the ninety's is to blame neo nick. it to noise chemical concentrate placed directly around seeds level to show can cooper revolutionary for farmers because it's extremely efficient when you and kills everything. yes, you too. they say they kill pests, right? but none of them says they'll kill every insect that's out there, including your butterflies and bees. while the scientific community is well aware of the dangers, the narrow toxins are sold to farmers as a miracle. agro chemical companies and their lobbies have neutralized systems of scientific and democratic control. and the name of prophet a few chemists and businessmen have assumed the right of life and death over all living things with

the food you know, on frederick, i've been farming for 19 a year. was it? we've always grown sugar beets. under the mobile bell, even my grandfather grew beats here after the 2nd world war dish. early book this crop has always been important for us. include 2 are booked on to, so like with pesticides is a broad category. so we've got err besides as kill plant. fungicide says kill fungus. road emphasized those kill rodents. list goes on, but then insecticides kill in check. that's what they're supposed to do. that's what insecticides are made for the net to kill insect.

hey larry new and you could to know that the 11 neo nicotine. oh, it's really are a jewel of modern technology low. there's the black, the seed do regular is covered by a shell with me insecticide, who just, you know, for then playing coat ain't bunk with the color specific to we. c, producer in the blue. so means it's from a french producer from florence would mean germ of sicily said will idea who sesa multi i'd more. mm. these colored seeds are now world wide. in the european union, 130 exemptions have been granted to circumvent various bands on neo nick. it's annoyed, like for sugar beets and france ah,

those those scenes look lanai, right? they're all color full and everything, but they're highly, highly cox. so neo nick to no aids are systemic. once they're applied, they move up into the plant and tint it every plant part. mm. so they're in the leaves, in the stems, in the roots and, and in the flowers you think you're luck, protocol to push, check on the plant itself becomes an insecticide, happen, all filament give you. i think tissue about feel the room. what we're doing. so then you are, toxin is in the plant itself, like washing fruits and vegetables doesn't remove it. so say i didn't tell you the long term effects on humans and in particular on child development,

we're not studied before their approval. and yet these insecticides are made from a well known neuro toxic agent. the one contained in tobacco, a more savvy, we've known for years that nicotine is toxic for insects. when you say, you know, for centuries the farmers of ground up a tobacco and used it as a natural pesticide, but has never been synthesized as a chemical treatment until the 1980s. when the japanese subsidiary of bayer are created a stable form of this nicotine derivative. that's why it's called, neo nixon annoyed me. since i shall happen, ye. yeah, a japanese research and managed to assemble nicotine and a settle. colleen, like 2 pieces of lego, creating the 1st near naked, annoyed hookey lou. this is the 1st time this former bare employee in japan has spoken to foreign journalists. the

chemist invented emitter, clo pred, a neo nick, it's annoyed, sold by bayer, that has been used in japanese rice paddies since 1993 o saying all such as i love, don't go by with a sniff. it was $100.00 times more effective than all other insecticides. oh, okay so so, so at 1st we thought we'd got our analysis wrong. okay, so we repeated the test many times. so it was all put another time. okay. so i should know that it always worked even when diluted. elizabeth, i'm a couple put out now everyone was excited. we had never seen such an interesting product that night. i couldn't sleep and told my wife does. i finally did it. i she washed. hm. a dead body i didn't equal to reach the level found needed all special about near nicotine noise level is that you can coat the said with the knowledge and treat them proactively. thinking dealt lodge,

sidney lessons. any pest problem is presented in advance, even if it never arises. i don't know if you thought of i wish nicholas. it's affected with many types of insects. oh no sir. oh, but especially against those that suck the juice from plants. yes. i know yeah there it is. get 94, get dogs that one seed every 18 centimeters is really good results. he reads seeing a gun by good yet. yeah good. he only insects that come close to the actual beat to eat either it or the roots underneath will be affected voice either wanted to us involved. so he went down back once covered with soil. you mosquitoes can buzz

around with a video to see again. but if they're not interested in the beat because they're saying is all. busy go get sloppy with the line for the a kind of vector trenton, every and warmers. don't want to kill insects. they just want their crops to grow. well, and that's fair. what does that even feel? if lots of insects die, well, that's an unintended side effect limb effect. then if perhaps if you knew the good, you know, you know, if i good linear nick a to know it always protects the plant. he knew laplant insecticides a spray on the leaves, only work on the surface. it focus and only for a short while. why not most? when we, i infamous maximum my ticket i ill go. it's like you must cut off. this insecticide is effective for 4 months. so you don't have to spray every time pests

appear that he wasn't there. so i have been out that it can, it's only applied to the root cause i must get up to the us on amazon. it and i, when other insecticides were sprayed and with only 10 percent reached the root, who's us can i tell you on all, nor say so it's very effective, sang yoga content, not the north. and i hope there will kicked off on his argument. it kit and one of the arguments that a valid one in my opinion had yeah, is that sprayed insecticides affected not only the fields but also the farmers all their employees and local residents. but since you can't always predict the wind accurately let alone control it would by dick to mod valesh mom on the let prevent us, your looking, the nicotine i see treatments seemed to address the issue, much better on the so much as the active ingredients is added to the soil and absorbed by the plant. as good, you did on it there once the plant, the harvested lot. that's it separately. like when you think reaches the environment through the air fit a hint. dollar dollar on?

no no, no, no. yes, i could, kate, i or this has completely changed rice cultivation here. let me tell you. i am on christina. when i master you no longer see rice, farmer sprang, insecticides hung over their work has become easier and more efficient in the north . they will not, upon in the beginning, neo nigger to noise appeared to be the ideal insecticide. and soon more chemical compounds such as cloth i and hadn't fire methods am and a sediment pred were developed and launched by a handful of multinational corporations. this products. oh, after a few years, rolla, immediately became a success for dagger come industry. at the end of the day, we want farmers to know they can count on. we're doing everything we can to make

their crafts flourish. and it starts with seat treatment to be a f f. we create chemistry. really, there's only a small number of players. genta monsanto, while which merged with bare b s f to sing kinda denellin. so simply to fix that. but at the sofa, chris are pack convenient, that is more liquid, as when he see with fair has had so many strategies to shape public opinion. one positioning themselves as genuinely interested the true science, not profit. we're bayer, and we sell those crop protection products to farmers all over the world. not because we're evil, but because deep down in our curious scientist minds, we know that plants can get thick just as humans. and that we can do something against this. i

oh, from japan, neo nick gets annoyed spread to europe in the mid ninety's before reaching north america and the 2000. and then moving on to the rest of the world, i from conventional crop farming to every day products and flee callers, neo nicotine noise. now make up 30 percent of global insecticide sales with the neo next. our market is worth $34000000000.00 on a global scale. you can find munich, nixon or it's a lot across the world. used on a variety of fruits and veggies. pulls everything ah, from racine, ah, to potatoes and beads, ah, to again,

corn and soybeans mason with huge zeal. they are also used to control parasites and lifestyle in pets. sometimes in forestry tree trees in certain wood eating insects, sierra leone, that annoyed so now everywhere else, even in places where they have never been used directly to the complete on these on can or jam 8050. or they probably put those formulate body for that. first the produces claim to these insecticides would only work on insects, in fact, only on passes, but that the heat. but gradually research showed that near naked to noise also affect vertebrates. he, for example, birds and amphibians such as frogs and toads, lea, a cup the long term effectiveness of nicotine, noise at very low doses endangers all ecosystems. this japanese lake, where a hearty few c, clams was once among the country's richest waters for fish. with

what profit for you in a melt used to be an integral part of culinary culture in the lake shinji regional through so it was grilled over of wood charcoal ruffling marinate at and t i a cookie in a broth for a got off a whichever k mm . what goes out you other way around lakesha g o smell was a big business. wilcox, it was a time when we filled the boat with just one net buffer. nothing but smelt or the joke one often a brighter snake. i buy another modem. what else? i can

with sorta got the same geography. do do your, your name well go hunting i to for the smell tick suddenly vanished. what crawford, you god. but then, you know, grandmother disappearance completely transformed the lakers about, donal call for you this ne 0 became very depressed and things canary crinkled. you're doing stuff. little. never seen anything like it. or we simply had no idea what was going around at georgia, not in march than endorse the got the again, go on i the scanner to explain this mystery. the local authorities commissioned a scientific study from the university of tokyo, 25 years after the smell suddenly disappeared, my sumi yama morrow and her research team were finally able to identify the culprit

i see a lot in it. temperature of the lake water didn't change night in nor was there any change in it. salinity got but we realized that it happened at the time neo nicotine oids were 1st used. the mediocre, pretty booked into the emitter clo printer was certified for use and rice paddies, in november, 1992 and began being used from the spring of 1993. i have been luck. thank care years and from the moment it was 1st used zillah. plankton levels dropped dramatically. hittie messed up. these insecticides love water. that's how they get up into the plant parts. they love water, but if you apply them and their water is flowing past the plant,

they also get into that. they love water will attached to it. and so they're now found in most water bodies that it got any, when you get neo nicotine, oh, it's our water soluble it so they penetrate. what is the plan to stay in the invertebrates that eat these plans are poisoned to guide 2 of us in new york? did this get historical go to the ground? it's contaminated, adults is. so the water that goes into that ground gets contaminated vinyati lot. okay. all at once the ecosystem changed i mean it's like it's one place on she's only my 1993100 kilograms of emitter, clobbered to them will suffice to pollute the waterways and make shinji catalogs

which are 80 square kilometers. is one of japan's largest lakes tunic, was just them like the ecosystem collapsed, and fish that eat aquatic insects all but disappeared with an air is more on the 2015. okay. okey doke. any not the cool de la, my research has shown that neo nicotine noise do not kill the fish directly. you're kidding, gain, unlike organic phosphate pesticides. it took 5th, a 2nd. uh, yeah, it goes, they kill the invertebrates on which the fish lead. they thought he got some new nicole to neither target the fish or the collateral damage look with all that they will know me on the he's you any he mega other ah ah ah, all around the world, scientific studies are reaching the same conclusion. the new insecticides are

causing a drastic decline and bio diversity. even in the most protected areas. bugging . ah. of the eco order for, for a fox, ah, is valid hobby mouth, high enough gang. we hung lots of traps in this forum, citing flu. yes, we put them up in early spring after, before the insects came out of hibernation. filiette and he, if he is a holiday, i've often dami collier empty the jars every 3 weeks and it was wantin. and in the, the door the is i know funk to see then they go into 100 percent. alcohol has to be processed and classified later than even bunch better as of yet fit with since

2008. these scientists have been comparing the results of their collections year on year. they recorded a 67 per cent drop and the number of collected insects in just 10 years. their work is seen as an international point of reference because i'm unable, as if he lived there. we collect a lot of insects house about 800000 a year to have thick towers in some long skiff here. so, and we have thousands of collection jar stored in too large refrigerated containers of nevada by the disappearance of natural habitats. and the massive use of new nicotine, noise has depleted insect populations at a rate never before seen. she had talked already, i'm not embarrassed if she had told an entomologist 30 years ago. hm. what. what at

80 percent of the bio mass of european flying insects would be lost in the next 2 or 3 decades date of laughter to force avenue. does this as a list asked us, they'd like to proceed? what's happening worldwide with biodiversity? yes. is that the local populations are dying out 1st. if i lost wi fi bio, diversity loss is not like snap on a species has gone back on them. the 1st, there are fewer and fewer individuals finding it harder and harder to find a meeting partner. and then it only takes one random event to lead to a species near extinction from one area. and what study after study after study after study, i could keep going and shows that insects are declining their declining and diversity, their declining in abundance. which means there's less of them out there in when there's less of an amount there, there's less of them to pollinate. there's less of them to be eaten by birds,

my lord cation for much of wealth, even walnut. a robin for example, needs to catch 700 insects a day to feed its offspring, or find a la com. so m yet a but the end of the molto, her laugh laugh when the insects are exterminated. the birds don't have enough to eat all the info foul now. and so their population decreases to do quarterly portfolio suited your child. the same is true for bad and so on. don't draw up 200 . it, could you be equal to the equity equity v oh, ah, insects are dying out 8 times faster than mammals. the 6th, the fastest, and the most extensive mass extinction in the world. history

ah oh, that's exit to me. so if it go pity taxonomy aims to complete the encyclopedia of life. if any over dounia only give a species a name and a suitable description that corresponds to an encyclopedic definition ickes on, on the difference your opportunity. chanel. ah ski it is that that what fascinates me are all these different forms that you can't really appreciate with the naked eye on to the with you for them all the new. ah ah, did finance? well that's a little shield bug coupon bill. it looks like a small white flake, but under the microscope it really looks like a stained glass church window. houses say, these are beautiful creatures. i never tire of looking at them. sawdust,

puddling edison. mr. ah, i think for a lot of people in sex or other worldly i'm but they're amazing and fascinating. ah, ah, ah, sell more to deform up sooner. it's a world of fantastic forms to imagine how complicated the genitalia of these creatures are with thorns. it'll spikes her spiral organs in all directions in st. francis. if lou wait for

a command to nathan, every one must think. what's he on it? oh, you are talking about insect penises and seeming to find it. interesting. so how weird to lacey lacey to visa ah, in messina, is the aqua. what uses it? oh, that's the standard question. when you're dealing with insects. a lot of other, when it's about protecting lions, it seems more natural stuff that i quail. but he asks for what purpose does alliance serve about this? is betty ega do windham, kiki i was leading a tour to a community garden and woman asked that question about wild bees. what use are they iea? is it not me that i answer to deeper for nothing just like you, i hope you salad the shot them you. she was a bit shocked, but when i said that i also was good for nothing. she calm down, i can't control boost if you'd like. but why did these creatures have to be useful to us in some way to justify their existence? if you want up with you as if we were the supreme authority with

a right to pass judgment on our other life forms and say, what are you good for? yes, no, that's useless out. you go just what right do. we have to just wipe everything out on these animals have the right to live, just like us philosophically. for me, that is unacceptable. buses in them. ah. somewhere down the road, somebody decided that to be a good farmer, you're supposed to farm simpler and bigger. me prop sizes started to grow, we started to grow what are called motto cultures. and as we went down that road problem started to emerge, right? the me

me look at that. what on earth are they thinking? at the desert? they've killed it. there's nothing alive out there. a lot of kill edge water okra. if we can change the world, survive. if we can, then we're in trouble. i'm trained as into. mm ologist i study, in fact for most of my career, me and i run boot asher farm here in eastern

south dakota in to help us understand his experimental farm. he takes us to his neighbors field. ah, so this is conventional agriculture this is what soils look like in the u. s. nothing, no life they have falls apart. when it's dry, this is dust, right? and the only way that you can grow crops in it is with chemotherapy fertilizers, ur. besides insecticides be gone, because your feels more industrial systems and more pests, your previous unethical more anytime you have a crop across

a large acreage, that's all the same. you have an insect that shows up, and it's got an incredible ready made nursery for all. let's set expands over hundreds or thousands of acres. it's much easier for an insect chew or a disease to spread itself. when all there are what it loves to eat with . we've created the system the perfect for past. i mean, we plant a single species for millions of acre and as we go through and we eliminate all of the life except for our one cropped species, then we have to replace everything that life used to do. all of those functions,

fertility, pest management, you know, competition from weeds of disease management, and we have to replace it with a jug because we're so smart way. we've got this whole nature thing figured out. we can package it up, but we could salad ah, it would be that you will think well on the farmer was gradually taught to use certain substances at certain times of the year. all that they'd be argued weight. you think it's become a habit? he said, when you might be doing this is what we're fighting against. this is what we're trying to produce and see what we've got in here. it's kind of a cold morning, but we'll see what kind of life we can find out here. ah ah oh the night or the warm red there. i had the beauty. well,

you know that soccer. you. ah, there you are. these are really important. why are they so important? look at what they're doing in that verbal right there. see how fuzzy it is and bubbly. mo soil is actually insect poop. in fact, so we need to get insect them here. ah, that is what soil used to smell like when i was a boy. and this is like clay, it's dead. there is no life. you see the difference, how many, how much complexity there is of the soil. who would have thought soil would be so interesting. i never would have guessed get back down in there guy. you go back to work. ah ah

scott black leads the largest insect protection in geo in north america. ah oh and here we go. bumblebee! here we go. i fell in love with insects because i had a little natural area close to my house. i'd catch fire flies by night. i'd catch butterflies by day and they just captured my imagination. what, what are these animals doing? why are they here? and that's what really drove me to becoming an ecologist. difficult policy. good. we must understand that life on earth is embodied primarily by insect. see, they determine this life and he should have been it will hurt her. i know that's a rush should be a wake up call for people because these little animals are doing an incredible

service for us. day and day out with is going to go right out or learn in place your good to be, but we think we should wipe out these little insects. but that's wrong. most soil dwelling and pollinating invertebrates provide a free service. we've profited from for millions of years at the if you keep on on the me the needle done it. ah, saint. i do not do it without pollinators. we wouldn't have most of the food that we 8 came on jam. duke left one book. yes. all the pollinators are important for like the butterflies bumblebees hover flies wasps get a soon multiple you that they their different characteristics mean that they have

certain pollination techniques good and prefer this or that type of flower and keep the flow. so notice from side b, the lad, but they're responsible for the reproduction of 84 percent of all cultivation to crop varieties. rather, that validity, good to meet the global economic value of pollination is huge. of 577000000000 euros. according to the i, p b, e s. o bloom, mikaela. ah, if you like, clean streams, invertebrates actually, many of them are filter feeders that are cleaning the water. when you go daddy compose the insects are fundamental on the decomposition of plants and animals for them. often, i like to say that plants and insects are the fabric of the planet. the dung

beetle is particularly underrated. it takes care of animal excrement. it forms large balls from it, which it eats or uses to build its nest. ah, a piano in australia when they imported european livestock cows and sheep will called the local dung beetle was accustomed to the local animals douglas a few inches. koala dung kangaroo dung. de marsupial dung, not to cow or sheep dung as so successfully look. the next came all he knew uppity, at some point in the soil was completely covered in excrement. that's when they had import beatles from north africa and southern europe of to manager to save all the be taking. you know, it says to as you harbor the harlem, he does insect, as he falls. if insects die out in the house of cards will collapse,

is the full boy humans are at the top film because we are super predators out was to the somebody she best with it. i think we're really headed to catastrophe, and it really many of us in this field believe that we need to think about agriculture differently almost 40 years ago in the poll valley, one of the world's most productive agricultural regions, a daring agronomist, posed a radically simple solution with grease or a thrown up, if the music lines have been monitored since 1984 you. thanks dan. since 1986. no, it's a it's been free of insecticides. you'll notice from that up. i mean, think when you said that she did

not have been to amy theater more adventure started a long time ago in the early eighty's over i b m. okay, so the put that bug, barry, we went to farmers to evaluate the usefulness in the treatment is that countries time were being used as if they were magnificent inventions of ya. mcqueen, this would be viewed re divided the field into strip soon after one as an untreated control from detroit for me and one that got standard chemical treatment. i mean, thor kimiko found that in that time of the listed a shot that we alternated, treated and untreated scripts on a lot scale it for you and your mother. then we checked were plant damage that they love. and whether the untreated plants yielded less than the treated ones shall stop being fed. your danish backtock will lit up that and test after test and showed that more cops grew on the untreated strips young than on the treated one.

so despite the ultimate battle, what i'd like is to get in, well, maybe the in my little on a uniform, the corners of how full the copies from are. these are beautiful calm as often and i want to speak you see me again. i thought moved non pelletize seeds, dr. morrison, they're naked and can grow freely and unhindered. vomit lu. meanwhile, lorenzo for the lawn, has developed a system of traps that are buried in the earth before sewing to assess past risk. ah wanted the ammo lift up, will it? but lot of it we sent a trap to capture the lar bade at the shore and every now after 10

days we removed the traps and examined the soil operating dollar myself and my savage dolly. she portion of fight throw on, we can see be the larva, lot of a deal at that it equals station will cleans out from agreeance us. so d doing to the all to shore, to be do so depending on their number one i didn't, we can see at the risk threshold has been exceeded for shamela sneed at savannah. without them he noticed already done ah, in the month and i have been faint of on 99 percent of the plot we've monitored and cultivated for decades, itchin india, no neo nicotine oid ada, nor any other insecticide was needed in manon adam. it's a sad yoke, it is we have never needed insecticide on here. not to devolving ship that uniform dog men color of it. i defy. okay. the same work was done in canada and so i with the same results of the 195 percent of cases don't get voice products for were completely useless. simple. you, since none of the pests i have control, i,

we're on the treated plots associated with these trolley boxes pretty we look into anatomy, simula egg, and we'll use hilton unacceptable for one percent risk to treat whole fields on with a high of our in mental impact too high cause you live and with no good to the farmer, but a future me let alone for the community on cooper liquidity is i think the issue with pesticides is they've just allowed us to be thoughtless. they've allowed us to not think about what paths might be out there. we've got these chemicals. we'll just kill them. we'll say new and continuing these dickenson, elijah more like an insurance policy through pest control products or new day composites are part of me they were they planning to retire and it's a part of me alisha farmers see it as a form of ensuring that she could have thrown it, kate,

my horn will be looked at all because the new eyes will grow, but okay, sure will guarantee. don't kill it down there, but i know 40. so in farming, we talk about prophylactic use, just using it before you have a problem to solve the problem that might be out there. so executable companies would zed, the mentioned are going to have the paper from the doctor says human when, as soon as the child is born to met, we'll give it prophylactic antibiotics. limited make sure it doesn't get infected in the bad enough if it was any. and we'll do that for the rest of its life. so the child is protected and doesn't get a bacteria infection coupled tissue. if you would say like die, the doctor is not only its own disa, virginia tumult sacred his aunty plant. i buy articles can't be used indiscriminately, is all the bacteria become resistant. we'll get back to the school fair. that's what's done and farming cisco felony could you? mm. yeah. laura, laura not quit was quite spontaneous either. okay. i thought you board last,

you want insurance. they had, i'll give it to you since on condition that you don't use it all has to decide on a ship. and that's how i started betting you caught up, fiona, echoing, i don't know, risk omission for these. so evil short pow i would place 300 or 400000 italian lira on the table for me to lead a corporate drinker, me the leader canon, or if you have any losses. so you keep the money that he pay me to. if you don't actually will give it back and invite me to dinner via china a if i made these bets on many farms and one them all. jo institute the but they not because i'm so clever she about that because the risk is so low. read the the i did when i even 9.8 to 10 to the chief say no, no, i then tried to turn this personal challenge into a solution. all farmers fight even thought it. when i should fill it up, report, it would be difficult doughty this agronomist and his investors created

a mutual fund in 2014, with almost 50000 hector's of agricultural land. this conventional farm was one of the 1st to come on board. for 35 years. no insecticides have been used on these 60 hector's of corn. a significant savings for this farmer since chemically treating crops costs close to $40.00 euro's per hector and the po valley. griffin, i figured out if that is true as a fee program or yes. oh, okay. last year with one on that for 40 times 16 inches but only to requite on the $2400.00 just for the corn, which is so for comfort about his mice during that synchron 35 years at 2400, how much would that be i think that with that or thought of 87500 euros gross from all the above. the said to me that you could change that they were

placed insecticides with good management. they replaced insecticides with life on their farms. and when they did that, they found they didn't need insecticides anymore. it wasn't an idiot, logical decision for these men and women. it was a good business decision. it goes to, i do give me the chief can correct for me of about 3 years per hector controlled to 3 euros compared to $35.00 euros or 40 years for an insecticide treatment. ah, you are covered for any damage that may occur between sewing your corn. she su donald and the 1st 8 leaves appearing parsa benita, contra, dallas, see me and my funeral also for you to took a look at block of anything that might require receding or reduced yield. i was covered by our fund tony the misty main. so then it won't print out the other form, don't speak of me,

the fund has never lost money. and this farm has been growing sugar beets for 20 years. without neo nick, it's annoyed there . why are these chemicals free to sell? why are farmers using them? because of relationships of chemical industry, but it's going to every agricultural community, a representative, a salesman, delta. and these are my bottom vast majority of technical consult millis, who visit farm was there to sell something for cost. and these guys are at the co ops or the, or their, their, their crop consultants. and this is somebody that has these people of a farming community grew up with. and they try to made donnelly, farmers have been for spent the idea that farming without synthetic chemical

compounds is utopia, utopia. with the more you use, the more unique winds in an addiction scenario. it isn't the addict right? now farmers are addicted. it's the guys who are pushing the drugs be over the is on his th, so with our full manufacturers, like fire said genta and b s if have the power to sell their products. i am wise wonderful devonne poor little because the product is needed or useful but,

but just because they want to satisfy one is to say a waiting list of interest, competitive and all these companies that produce near next they have a are an obligation to their shareholders to maximize profit status of family foundations, that's pension funds because of that investor pressure, but a fiduciary duty to serve the investor. the companies have off felt an obligation to keep products like neo next on the market. did the agro industrial system is a legacy of the 2nd world war. the factories and substances used for weapons production were gradually retooled for the production of fertilizers and pesticides . impact in to me if some count the war ended in 1945 and there were huge phosphate

and nitrate stocks. he did the stuff they started to use at all, for lack of anything else to do with it. to thought it's gonna have you pick one fat ah, a pico me for new people, needed food and fast if you have your seen. so it developed into the new foundation of modern agriculture and do luckily, could you give mrs. can come off back her early? she missed chemists had developed his name. gotcha. this mark that ident modified to fight bets that his insects who retake or 20 completely horizontal calling us. ah, ah, it begins with the war bon develop under bbt. it came from laboratories where top scientists from famous universities and from industrial and government

organizations collaborated to develop something new when different they succeed in, they were effected. i did it d, c, d o, d d t is a miracle insecticide. the evil, the streams are disinfecting the tons of ddt are used in this fight against the dread disease whose principal target is the young. again, war has contributed one of its discoveries to save life. they would spray ddt on fields of almost any kind of crop them. in measurable d d t to spray or home for cockroaches, it was not used in any kind of precision away. it was used everywhere. powder always to apply because of a new, efficient dispenser back in. all people have to do with the rest of the life that it's a handful of concentrated widespread

d. d t use wiped out malaria, carrying mosquitoes in europe, and the u. s. with some of the advocates even ate it to show that it was harmless. and to convince developing countries to use it. but scientists quickly discovered unexpected side effect on the she's disappeared completely broke. so i could look at the paragraph which was native in the east coast. no, you said could no one believed does permanent exposure, could be problematic. blip was a public back in the seventy's, ddt was finally declared carcinogenic and harmful to reproduction and subsequently banned in many countries. but the hunt was on for new come hounds, her history repeated itself over time,

people started to think, oh, could we have better pesticides? and in their search for that, ah, ah, pesticide companies came up with and checked the sites that are called neal nicotine noise loya course. got it a lot, some for sure the ship was to day, no human dies from insecticide spraying jewish or se, sucking 6th. i prefer to think 1st about humans and then about insect illustrating and when i got it, alicia, nico idea you ties, these substances are very effective against insects. can i away with their toxicity, and mammals is low as auto center, fatal. you must not all those other when you it over. so i cheat i so they have a very targeted effect. the figure title in the last and i'm, it's me,

it's this products seem like a, a miracle compound are not too tough, not too weak. kind of just the perfect balance for pesticides that would kill off infects in an efficient manner but not harm mammals are of humans. c a pleaded elisha, it was the pinnacle of insect decide. research said in reducing its could synthesize extremely toxic molecules by healthcare. 40 said the bees near nick it to noise a $7.00 to $8000.00 times more toxic than ddt, which band in the seventy's 6 hotels. happily, the japanese researcher was recognized for this completely new, very efficient invention with a sun life he just called to the other girl. when i knew it a little more, all it to with all my work being honored, is like winning olympic gold, chemical ma not allow you to seal with

at 1st, the neo nick gets annoyed, passed regulatory tests, which were not made to detect chronic toxicity at low doses they were mainly performed on rats, which did not respond to the new insecticides. ah, they arrived in europe in the mid nineties and were 1st used on sunflowers, a favorite of bees. mm. ah. feature sweeney families, ebay. i was born among bees who left because both my parents are a purist for as we were my grandparents and great grandparents

too. so senior, granted, all these are pew pe ready to hand should it could be or caps brewton. well, which means that soon we will have no basil. we're in these need 21 days to hatch. i do and live forward to 6 weeks men maximum or they only collect pollen at the end of their lives. they see not let down, they spend the rest of their time in the hive who labour guarding its entrance to lies this ivy says press ireland day on lavish wont on god. then i'll okay, let me get back to these any getsco's from 1995 on. almost all a pure races in france is large farming areas saw dead bees at high entrances and depopulation of pollinators. when the sunflowers were in bloom, tony's storeroom my shirt from. she's yamashita walked across the carpets of

dead bees and our ab aries at crockett crackled under foot. she knows i bank with these weight 400 kilos. like a cow. we might have been taken seriously sooner. yeah, you're, you're happy with it, your victim. we were the victims, we knew that we had to prove that to do that. so we had to turn to scientific expertise. ah, black be dos, shante, fick so all those to have to see how the b is b. he that all of the hunger. now i put just the smallest quantity, just a pin, head of neo nicotine i qualify, entered in this case. and then i embedded it in a still small dot of homie, one part per 1000000000. is that amount that i just put in like

a swimming pool kind of situation. that's the kind of volumes that we're talking about here. ah, so generally with neo nick, it annoyed poisoning what happens as the insect starts twitching violently. their tongues are reverted sooner loans will be so tight. all the losses in her body will be so tight. she can move. all of the nerves in their body ends up firing simultaneously. and so really what they die of is exhaustion. mm. said kill issues. and keep the be got a little of the toys into and is no longer moving formal is always in its wings. a point is straight up, secure, indicating tetanus of the flight muscle in the screwdriver. to me,

this looks like generalized cramping id after the b keepers, complaints companies changed seed pelting to limit the spread of neo nicotine oids . but scientists continued to find high death rates. insidious thing about neo nic and annoyances of the they might not kill them at all . and oh, but what happens is that they end up having learning disabilities. this is a fake, collect. the scientists found out that these substances called yes, suddenly, from the family mid, yet the bees die slowly, may in mom don't they can't find their way home again. they can't regulate their temperature of the hive anymore. they forget how to be bees. so let's say you know these, i bet it's like they have alzheimer's and won't bag. for example,

they tried to collect nectar from a withered sunflower, leaky near the film kitchen, finding it pre, and they rubbed their antenna, what their abdomens. so what they'll do then convulse and twitch comically. so please do tomblin, you can watch them collecting pollen can do brittany falling suddenly onto a leaf, right, by example, she will. and then on to the ground, to on a show where they slowly die, don't base your school. so he agreed, easy in the late ninety's the be became the center of a scientific battle between the agro chemical industry and independent researchers and france. jam mach belmont, on conducted the 1st studies demonstrating the toxicity of near nicotine noise on pollinators.

for the actual, the company you feel said the pesticide companies 1st reaction was that's impossible. you've made a mistake, wouldn't war? and they asked to come and see the results and my laboratory secrecy put them marks . i gladly accepted me the vessel shook, but surprisingly they hadn't come for the detailed results, the shock, but to find any mistakes we might have made with obviously less that the huge easy, their strategy was called multi factory ality. dixie did over that means finding numerous alibis, so as to claim the no pesticides were not the cause. they probably were various factors affect her, don't get the us eggs i've seen within soccer soccer lattice blamed on climate change randomization habitat last night lately before nicholas knocked young. some papers would say absolutely vo pesticides versus the smoking gun. others would say,

well, no, you know, i mean, it could have been all of these other things and maybe it was the verola might, you know, the verola might get a lot of problem. different wasa, lutheran wilma, is relatively new parents and it started to invade the hives of the western hunting beat in the middle of the last century. result, washington formula. you know, face sheet, verola light is a distraction you chose level. why is that the borrower is a natural parasite wookey, in that there is a species called the borrower destructor. from asia in that has invaded european hives olympian, but it is a paris side of the domestic b, w. d. don't. so even if we can attribute some blame to the verola, it is certainly not responsible for the decline in insects. in general, mon pollinators. in particular, they put over wild bees in which the borrower is not a parasite in black body. and so if a corporation or, or,

or somebody with an agenda doesn't, wants to support you, science to support that agenda. all they have to do is, is fund the science that says something else is killing the bees. bears syngenta are such large multi nationals with tens of billions of dollars in revenue. these grant to scientists or nothing, there are rounding error on a quarterly statement. but for a scientist it's a lot of money. what happens is that the whole, the scientific literature starts to shift in and then you see this growing swelling body of literature that says, well, the girl might kill to be like this. and, and a lack of flowers in the environment, kills. and there's a new disease, it kills to be like this, and suddenly it start looking. man, there's just a little bit of information over here, but there's a lot of information over here. must be this stuff to

a pool from. there won't be this about the motivating the public decision makers in the 2nd work. if you listen to the possible reason for insect mortality, no one knows where to start job with predict the most cool way. resume is technician fatalism and an actual federal them on the. but occasionally it's still get scientists that are noisy and they don't shut up when they're supposed to, and they continue to work down this road. well, in that case you, you destroy that scientists publicly are in, you know, it all started. i'd say when we found the neo nicotine noise weren't helping so being producers, but they were killing predators, and they weren't killing the soil. be nathan, who got

a job pretty well right out of graduate school at the u. s. t, a agricultural research service. and i spent about 11 years there me, everything was going right. and i received an award in the white house for main name, one of the top young scientists in the country. president obama presented that to me. i. and then we started asking the wrong questions. i you know, the harassment started in small ways, maybe getting some additional edits on presentations or on papers that never really happened before. i got more aggressive and they started to

suspend me for routine or small violations. maybe the paperwork was done on time or something like that. and then they started the hall in my staff and say anything john's done on a line lately, we'd like to, you know, and so they started to interrogate people. ah, while reporting the story i talked to, doesn't scientists, many of them were fearful of speaking out. and many of them said that they would not speak out publicly on the record for my story because they were afraid they would be pushed out of their position. just as jonathan langon was pushed out of his position at the usa. the anxiety and the pressure was enormous. and so i really had to ask the question, what the hell am i doing here?

and so i quit. ah, oh, there's an awareness that if you criticize big business, you're not going to receive funding for your research. if you criticize private corporations, your entire university could lose out on money. i mean the people in my command chain of command, they weren't trained or heard me. they were trying to preserve the u. s. da, in all of the people that i was working with. ira, hey, so they're going to be coming up right along here. so here we go. oh no. jonathan lumberton now runs a farm and puts his experience as a scientist into environmentally friendly agriculture. he focuses on large scale

agriculture that can produce while regenerating the soil ah, science is pressured to slow studies on the effects of biodiversity. the feel my go, she meets suffolk agro chemical companies know very well that an end for past decides is in sight a could develop, but they want to gain a little time to see because that still means a lot of money even yet, but dos again young caldebook without it, we have this really rapid approach to approving pesticides and then they take glacial approach to getting pesticides polled once they're approved. well, the best barometer of whether the chemical industry ah, strategies are working is regulation. do what i'm going to kill to new girl

that has really the heart. ah gotcha said well, katie defi research what regulatory test is he had, i've been conducted to assess who he that example he a side effect of a product of bees. yes. all gone, could you find a death that these tests were designed by the industry itself, who bodies on just he had a man who doesn't exist with that there. so he had 24 hour tests. her b mortality is low, but up to 3 days it increases significantly more so on. so you stopped the test up to 24 hours with hardly any dead basie who fed. so the authority say, okay, let's allow the product to say most of off on the morag up of by do you cannot be judge and plaintiff. it's a conflict of interest to see nothing more than noon. you don't put the fox in charge of the hen house after it's eat on behalf the hands a quickie that more he level what she didn't do. i can tell you, i've been studying pesticide regulations and, and,

and risk assessments for 20 plus years. nobody's watching. nobody's watching. how could they, ah levy, these are articles and tactics, the pages upon pages by the basis articles on changes that think of the bud gothic removal. a single truth. thousands of pages monster signed up us to salary. we have to work through all this to submit changes among death sentences like this product will only be approved at the weight per area. ratio is changed to i believe the appointment desk valve at nissan. so demand fuqua laughed and ask why regulators for less problematic products, pass problem, etc. request you full sized or gone through them and

a corrupt site. come were you lose the files, the examiner, thousands of pages long, near the bash for yourself. you meant to see the ard for it take up a time to judge such a pile of documents, intel in mass document there you're using this chemical for that past this other chemical for this past than years treating for fungicides. then you're treating for some disease and we're basically creating these chemical cocktails in the environment when you started measuring the formulations of these 200 compounds. and each of those requires it, it's own risk assessment. that's 20000 risk assessment. who the hell is going to pay for that? who's going to do that? nobody still in that. we have no idea what these chemistry's are doing in the environment. shawna multiple part of us. even l. m. game for shawnee spread in the

environment persistently and systematically and control. i believe they become an uncontrollable and invade and everywhere element that including little chain me and my hair. but i knew the my knowledge of your father, author and the last analysis found the 3 different neo nicotine noise that i probably ingested through food. kelly continental villa defeat fell us a lot by godaddy. i am convinced that you cannot have a meal without any nicotine noise. they are everywhere. infer that vegetables and grains, tea, coffee and juice didn't equal to do to cook for more than a decade. we have suspected that near nicotine oids act as endocrine disrupting, li, causing liver, thyroid, testicular, and ovarian cancer wallets. your read this he can legally meet the he got the only the vessel, but even worse. other effects on the development of our nervous system or digital and the brains of fetuses and young children develop the was that fit that it free

shoot film that have only pre flop all the public to wait a minute. one of the most striking research from to ponchos gang new nick to noise in the 1st urine of most newborns who disha the new and you could to noon. i cut out this year and other than oh, i am researching the impact of pesticides and herbicides on water and the environment. and so they, especially because of their harmful effects on humans in behavioral disorders in children caused by mental illness and have increased in japan since 1993. always you know. thank you. the kid. authentic. i got the written assumed she velaz yonce . if we had followed the science, i don't think these products would have been bounced anymore. tell me the agro chemical lobbies refuse to even try a pesticide ban implant san agra,

chemical lobby's influence in much the same way is that who is polluting industries is f camino. i love this to model it with ticket on vehicle be in the fione. the model was developed by the tobacco industry there. would they look at that to me? so boone thought that in defense to mac or, you know, going back to the 1950 is a night and sixty's, the tobacco companies knew that their product was addictive, and deadly. and to counter any potential for regulation or removal or liability of their products. they created an infrastructure of think tanks of public relations, experts of other groups that would counter any of the science showing the deadly effects of smoking. for years they said, figure out, don't cause cancer. they trotted out all sorts of experts, had said, cigarettes don't cost cancer. they delayed any thought on that by at least 2

decades speak by trotting out experts saying we don't have the data. and we say the same thing with the pesticide industry. with okay, i think we're say there's a general message out there that organic foods or any healthier or healthier for you and better for you than whatever you get in the supermarket next door. and that's nonsense. so if you, if you go shopping in a whole foods, you'll see kind of why ac s h was fun. was founded macias ash.

this is financed by agra chemistry. he promoted things like pesticides, biotechnology and martin just realized agriculture. you do think there is a digital elegant you on his theater. it was formed in 1978 by a group of fairly high powered sciences scientists. and they were unhappy, the way that science and chemistry and medicine were being portrayed in the media. well, we debunk chunk, that's our motto. who the pe, the l page $2.00 for carriage? this is the quote for since we see these organizations funded by industry helping shape public opinion, helping shape the discourse around these controversial issues. the american council on science and health is certainly one of them. this is just a fascinating email from monsanto. it shows

a monsanto executive making the case that monsanto should donate to a c s age. because in bold type, you will not get a better value for your dollar than e c. s. age. and they lay out all of these different pieces of content from a c s h, including their articles on the unix. or, you know, once in awhile throughout the years we would get maybe a small gift from our company here or there. but that didn't stop me from going after them. if i, if i felt like they were doing something wrong, if you just say the word chemical is scarce, people, these chemicals are in the water and we're gonna grow an arm out of our back. these scares you hear about different camera goals and drugs. most of the time would be

false, but it makes great headlines. in forces. it's a silent power that we can't see yet, but that has a dangerous influence on contemporary democracy. good will classic went on point. ah, if you try and form without any pesticides is going to be difficult. everything gets heat not by bugs, some of the on the insecticides which are used. i wouldn't want to spray it in my face. okay, so that's for isn't us. but most people don't walk around spraying narrow toxins in their face. it's a very few of us to that gulf. all they silky. she could buy he a scientist, he paid by bio monsanto or be a samsung whomever,

claiming he said they know our products. dont louisa law well they should be held responsible there. lie exposed and made criminally liable. gold yield? no. no. if i hear no, it doesn't pollute the soil. same thing you like i said, it's the principle of criminal liability of one quarter. if there were criminal penalties, i think that would solve a lot. i usually book compared to the billions spent by companies in jose have absurdly few resources. as does the association with which may i please, while paul marquis hopes to alert french and european politicians. but shouldn't we include a link again? and of course you have to do what should we write her schooling? kiana it yet? can you see what about it's the only way to save the b was if i were an uninformed minister sheep, i wouldn't know what to believe. is it buffet at 50?

in the early 20 ten's, after a 15 year struggle, her n g o thought they had 13 of the main neo nicotine oids were to be banned and the e u was planning a new risk assessment system. well the me says in 2013 the if i say that the european regulatory authority had independent experts working on approvals for enough, they needed a 250 page report to say these tests are obsolete other we have to start again with us on do me get dolls, news eval in 2014. isn't that the f as a presented new standards for assessing the risk of pesticides to bees? the value as shown you here, the business, it's johnny's i b, that's a huge victory. moth dwaa english

via the industry criticized the standards which would have risked the marketability of many of their pesticides t. this does seem the agro chemicals association complained to the european commission that 65 of their 67 main products would not pass these new tests. at iq, andrea m e p and former chair of the pesticides committee, landed himself on a monsanto watch list. he is sure the lobby was exerting pressure and suspect them of hacking his e mail or sale on new gold. was it the tunic? well, emails to me with the word cancer went straight to the trash. he did divvy more for 5 months. i worked with professors, researchers and scientists on the core of the problem. truly the impact of pesticides on human health and possible cancer risk when it was still going up live, i think in a good and it goes it, it was in like, and their e mails didn't reach me in the method but avenue oh,

in the end the reform was gutted, strict toxicity tests were caught and much higher. b mortality rates are now tolerated. all until about a month at alamo, a german m. e. he has a company like buyer in his constituency, among yelled of global pesticide producer, you will see the generating local economic activity and charles kennedy doin. i'm done with them for. so i can follow though not understand on that this m e p with no greater view of the problem says, you know, by the viewing hands stopped selling these pesticide upper she values of jobs are writing on it. if i make them believe this and then about the medium pro and will, you know, young caught out in exam. so we're still using a completely obsolete risk assessment framework, delay or even france, which supported the reform, backtracked and issued exemptions for nick,

it's annoyed and 2020. 0 la hotel. he's as you're the re authorization of neo nicotine noise in france was devastating for apa culture and quinn mess you can fit that little man that i see what i mean failed. and if it's a real defeat for the environment bank account, it's a great legal, scientific, and democratic step backwards for europe. oh, without a reformed or risk assessment, europe is powerless against new compounds. a new generation of neo nicotine noise, like so, fox, a floor and flu pirate of her own are already replacing the old generation of munich its annoyance. oh, those chemical companies right now know that these chemicals have

a certain shelf life. so they're developing new ones. we're fighting to pull off these old ones and no, yeah, voice we're seeing so much over the years who put a go took products that worked so hard to get out the door. i do so often climb back in through the window path on the left. it was a short, subtle yet, so i thought to myself, i invented another insecticide key to me through pyro mean gotcha. such as i got a near nick a to night. that's not so bad for b soon. which annoys on it. just sort of each of us and johnson this. it's been on the market since last year to win us calais. oh suffice i, mr. ah, you can use this one is i think the use of insecticides and pesticides is the never ending. grace. aha, we use more insecticides now than we ever had in human history. we have to, as humans take action, because it's a crime against our children,

to crime against our grandchildren. i, in japan and the united states near nicotine noise have never been ban. oh, and developing countries, use of these chemicals, allows intensive mano culture farming to expand, which in turn contributes to continue deforestation and the extinction of millions of invertebrates species. oh mm. ah

. oh oh oh. oh. 0.

3 . 02 . 0. they're at the top of the food chain, and yet they are in great danger. in tune for decades, they were only 16. ah, now,

large swan areas are to be restored. left the return of the tag wise, began with 15 minutes on t w. o. oh. is the end of the pandemic in sight. we show what it could look like a return in the normal and we visit those who are finding it difficult a successes or weakly coping 19 special every thursday con d w closely ah. listen carefully.
