has been sent. i have been busy. i have been sick a straight did because we tried to do cell dory of face mafia. all over the world. environmentalists or in danger. the enemy, roofless corporations corrupted, government agencies and criminal cartels. targeted environmentalists in danger starts october 29th on d. w. fresh food galore in germany were used to supermarkets brimming with produce but often it has come from far away. that makes our supply chains. vulnerable is a kind of the war and ukraine is revealing our limitations we can tell from the empty shelves what didn't come from germany assigned to hear that one. come. we

need to feed more and more people globally. but in terms of farming threatens the environment and our survival, if we use for this low eco cuts of practices, the next 2000000000 people that will be here in the year 2015, we will need a land area, the size of brazil. it's time to switch to sustainable farming practices and new food sources. if we want to support the global for change and or for an alternative, and then we need to growth a lot of see what food will we eat in the future? farmer eunice should send me hoff has been refining this recipe for a long time. it's something special he thought out for his 3 children.

when done though to the thick life i not, this is going to be a kind of chick petosi. i'm going to cut it into little fish shapes for my children, fish form schneider. then i'm going to fry it a bit so it gets that extra bit of flavor done. it's a meal made almost entirely from chick peas. and that comes apart from the spices entirely from local production. obviously, you know, i'm about to look i to florida chick peas or a gar, bonds, or beans, or a protein rich pulse from the middle east. that the farmer has begun to grow in eastern germany. he thinks agriculture and eating habits need to change. he must see an illness approved else in how should we eat in the future as eating snips or every day is incurred was in. it probably isn't good to eat. just let us every day either come up at variety. the, i think that's the most important thing. that means we don't have to go without anything delighted in it, but it means that our food is very varied and nutritious about us via their few

fetish and i shall tish and send an kun mm. at his farm in the german state of saxony and heart eunice choice and ne hoth grows all kinds of super foods. to day he so aquino seeds, the grain is native to the south american andes, but feels increasingly at home here. been vianza manuel, if we keep on growing what we always have was from them, we're not going to get anywhere in the fifa climate change means getting used to be idea of cultivating different crops sitting on. that's why i find it really interesting fun and keen. why is really healthy and tasty? like i'm enjoying doing this and i think that's the most important thing. but if you enjoy something, you can do it while hatton come on. so i felt like when showed sidney, huff took over his father's farm 8 years ago. it produced traditional crops like wheat mays and sugar beat, but he decided to switch to non native crops or forgotten ones, is gearing up for the future with nutritious and more resilient crops,

better suited to new climate conditions. and that's annoying. on the one hand, i want to try out new things and on the other hand, i want to have long term goals. that's important to me. when my father always side farming is about thinking and generations. and i try to live by the principal under the which had alkaline so called super food like keen while are becoming more popular due to their high nutritional value. but demand for keen, why here is driving up prices in south america and threatening their supplies. yet these hardy pseudo grain now thrives in europe too, is not seen as in the thing of, it makes much more sense to produce things locally. if it's possible value dealing with him apply a certain degree of globalization will always remain. i'm sure you can, but we save an amazing amount of energy and emissions by avoiding unnecessary transportation home. and of course,

it would be great if we could grow our own food supplies for the new drug. resistant crops could help in saxony. unhealthy spring rainfall is dropping, and summers are getting hotter and dryer. keen, why is a timely solution? it needs a 3rd of the water required by wheat or whatever for food and agricultural scientist or to go, vanka is supporting the adventurous farmer. together they are checking how the 1st seeds of the year are developing his and this has come up quite well yon of it. yes, it's coming up quite well in the field. there's a lot of weeds growing up between and we can't see the rows of seedlings from the tractor. the colonel. so we can't use machinery for hauling at the end of the machine, knocked over to some next crops, new to the region like keen war and practically forgotten. ones like hemp mean a lot of trial and error. things can go wrong. but diversity is key. that isn't on

the missiles, there's risk with all crops. if the weather isn't right the my crops might fail. obviously from that point of view, i am reducing my risk by diversifying this eigen please. it is unlikely that all my crops will fail at once. she does your coach launched jolla. of course there are costs attached to the learning process really is a sort of so we are investing quite a lot of work in something with an uncertain in a very uncertain outcome for an individual. but it's an investment for the future house, gung any other than in the city one and 2 co can what it sounds kinda is a super food. it has plenty of calories and it's very healthy and bringing it here is also an opportunity to diversify what we eat. tongues and left by the pins, have item bought a galvan, can one saxony, unharmed to become a super food producer. the agricultural scientist has set up an organization to achieve this goal. ah.

used vouchers. vision for farming in the future doesn't involve cultivating the land at all. oh, got from guy are the river on board with him? are german marine biologist, zavy ash cows and developer leaning a home on their workplace is in a sense under water. 124. 034 . from here for from here down in the water. there is something that they would like to see enriching the diets of people in europe. see we'd ah, ah, there are estimated to be hundreds of thousands of species of algae world wide.

only a fraction has been researched. seaweed can be cultivated on ropes, at sea. sylvia shed house quickly identifies the types of edible seaweed basses, forgotten that sugar color. now this green one is say, let us live, you can eat that to come on all se danasia is and that's what coming on does. it weighs at least maybe 3 or 4 kilos of i think he long there is a nurse in sylvia. that's for dinner tonight. in europe, this slippery stuff is still regarded with a little suspicion in many parts of asia. by contrast, seaweed has long been popular vouchers would like to see it catch on in europe to and help make our diet healthier and more diverse. now the world mainly eats rice,

wheat, corn and meat that promotes the rise of mana cultures. makes us dependent on just a few types of food and vulnerable to crisis. if we want to support the global food chain and offer an alternative or re need the stress on the current system. and then we need to grow a lot of see we, 4 years ago about a set up the seaweed company before that he worked for an unhealthy or part of the food and drinks industry. he was a manager for beek soft drinks company. the birth of his son led to a rethink. now i'm making plans to get children drinking more does beverages, but my boy gets older, i don't want him to drink. and then i realized that those big companies that exist, it's very hard for them to change and actually i don't think they can change. they wanted, they ride it on their social media, but in the end it's just nothing. currently his company operates 9,

see we'd farms cultivating the species that are native to the local ecosystems. the beauty of see read is that it grows in water. we don't in length, it doesn't need fertilize. it doesn't need fresh water. see, we'd also absorbs a lot of c o 2 a lot more than most things grown in soil because it develops a lot faster. so if you roughly calculate every 1000 feeler wrongs of wet, see we've has a sore 100 and friends into the browser, sir, to to help popularize it in the european market. the team is also developing new recipes and products in the area around matt to book is one of germany's corn baskets or to calvin co wants to use its fertile soil to start a new trend together with her team and farmers like eunice should sidney hoff.

she's introducing new arable crops to saxony on hut. she's using his farm as a test field. as for blame us in the problem is that most farmers experiment a bit out that but because there's no scientific supervision, they don't get listen to initial wiki. i heard as entity on him, you're only deemed important when the university is on board to the researcher from the university of hollow is using her standing to back this agricultural transformation at the moment, just under 16 percent of what is harvested worldwide, directly ends up on our plates 72 percent of it is turned into animal feed and 11.7 percent is used as biofuel or as an industrial commodity. emerson v. done via awfully. we have to move towards producing more food and away

from animal feed and fuel type stuff. above all we need vegetables. honda men, at the moment it's brought in from around the world. well, i'd like local agriculture to increase and become more crisis resilient rushed in. if we ate less meet, there would be enough food for another, for 1000000000 people. that's another reason why all to call thinking and her students are looking for plants that might thrive locally. with whatever flourishes here in the test garden could help guarantee food security in the future of noise. lot, we need new species. that's why we have this garden of to morrow here. and for that also farmers don't have to try things out on their fields. that's we're doing a bit of the leg work in advance for we can say yes, it works and you can try it out. look, it's growing really well or no. let's take one is i have battled look, does lentils don't really work in your soil or chick peas need those particular

conditions you have to pop at the on d stand up betting on the students are recording every experiment. they're amazed at how many non native species grow? well in this part of eastern germany live over here. we're trying quite a lot of the pretty crazy way out of things here. for example, the potato bean malavar spinach and perennial. cale would really wild who was as organs public as i am. so come spies and or a future foods is the name of the project. it promotes kilowatt and chick peas. millet sloop heaney beans, ham seeds and lentils. some were wide spread here, but fell out of favor. now they're making a comeback. when did it, even sucrose fi isn't, is the idea of sucrose shy isn't, is from farm to table, most of them to get farmers and cooks and trying out new types of produce trying out different systems, new agricultural systems of the see the local cultivation team of new plan here

under shelton. i have plans until bonnie but system change can only work if every one participates. she's convinced of that. and she's got a plan in in the local youth hostel. the agricultural scientist is giving cookery courses together with her colleague, lena horne. at lynn of atlanta, what are we doing with the key more tomorrow? friday we're going to make a king was salad and a came watching patty hotly at the workshops, local cooks chefs and bakers are learning how to best prepare the new ingredients. if agricultural system change is going to work, their role is vital and asthma was in been one, it only makes sense if you can get what the farmers are growing on to people's plate sensing, saying so we are showing people who work with good, what to do with it, because you're baker's what to do with it. and that's the basic idea, i guess for the one to put it simply hang from farm to table. compared,

often tell us the baker is trying his hand at making hummers from regional chic piece. as kids with honda too much, lemon juice. oh, it's our and some of it's absolutely new for me and i am a regular baker who uses ry wheat flour and salt. but i've got 30 years working life ahead of me and this is the future. my children, my took over my bakery business and i want to build a foundation was on last alternative. i'm looking forward to rent a diesel before me, so the hostile cook is also enjoying the change museum woke up. it doesn't always have to be potatoes and why not use something different for a change that can be just as easily cultivated, you know, something from the region which is sustainable. keen was salad with beetroot. and apples, for instance, with

a local choir is getting to sample the food. all the ingredients are vegan, hollow and kosher. so the cook doesn't have to offer alternatives and can put on a really good buffet without spending more. so how's it going down? minute talk. it's my daughter clicks like this, so i'm a bit familiar with it. went ahead and i think it's good. but to personally, i'm still a bit conservative, benign office in court with all muslim hotley? no, i would also make a patty from chick peas from buffer. we know it from falafel and so on. it's good, definitely of info. yes more. thank. now we'll have to see what went down well and what didn't. and we'll need to continue supervising by the time. but oh to calvin glass to tend to other things. first. on an inconspicuous building on the edge of copenhagen. could it be the solution for many of our food problems?

owner under sleeman certainly think. so. the name of his new fangled farm is nordic harvest. my background is as a financial analyst as an investment bank. and the 8th years ago, i was sitting doing an incentive program for the employees offer the bank with gave them the opportunity to earn 100 percent on top of their salary if they were high performers. so then i thought you said ok, just to sit and earn some money for yourself and not do enough for this. i think the banker became a farmer and set up europe's largest indoor farm in the danish capital, for and as leman, vertical farming is a way to stop the destruction of ecosystems and feed the world's growing population . at the moment 38 percent of the

world's land area is used for food production. it consumes 70 percent of fresh water and is responsible for 30 percent of greenhouse gas emissions at lemons. eco friendly, vertical farm crops grow without any soil at all. this is the roots growing directly in the water. the roots absorbed nutrients from water more easily than from soil. so they need less fertilizer. the facility is also constantly recycling water. it uses almost 95 percent less than conventional vegetable farming. but the biggest challenge was finding the right lighting one day on my way home from the metro at 3 o'clock at night. after going out in the town, i thought, what about it? the lights have that been developed enough to make photosynthesis for pen? so you can grow them in lay us in water. and in actual fact 20000 only

the panels were able to function like sunlight and stimulate plant metabolism. the light looks purple because vertical farming combines different light spectrums to promote plant growth. we have a field which we put into an aluminum fact and the aluminum will absorb the heath and put it out in the room. the temperature here is between 22 and 26 degrees celsius, ideal growing conditions for salad and the electricity supply is carbon neutral. thanks to wind power inside things grow a lot quicker. there are 15 harvests a year outside only $2.00 to $4.00. vertical farming is independent of the seasons and climate conditions. it's more secure now off the for warner and the wall and you frame we are very vulnerable for security of buying food. so we need to be

able to have food production inside of the city as part of the input dropped. so shorter journeys, also mean lehman saves transport costs and avoid c o 2 emissions. it's just a few meters from the shelf to the harvesting machine. most of the work is done by me jeans. but the technology is still very expensive. for as far as facility far would be about $45000000.00 euro, because if the technology is that have just been profitable. so when the civil approve of and it can be profitable in all the countries of the world, they are not yet using the facilities entire surface, but already supply $120.00 supermarkets went up to speed. the farm could produce some 1000 tons of leafy greens, 250 times more than conventional agriculture from the same surface area. at the

moment, nordic harvest only grows lettuce and herbs here. but more vegetables and fruits like strawberries are planned. lola. oh, good, good for him to know about the before german plants scientist last may get ski overseas processes in the vertical farm. we want to keep them. she's working with bacteria that will support plant growth. yes. do they do? thank you. is thank of your home. yes, the consultation and i think that we have all the technology here at hand and we have to ensure that we also use it in a positive way for the future on we're doing good pioneering work here to make progress on that front of the sponsoring population. growth means that such trail blasing work is becoming more and more important for millions of people. aah! at the ost as swale. a barrier in the netherlands used devout us is tending his

freshly harvested seaweed in the waterside facility. the seaweed is dried or kept fresh in water tanks for further processing. so what you see here is then the sea week after it's finished. so this at the end of the season. beautiful leaves of, or for a way exactly. you still see them here on the rope. this is not so you can see a full rope here. and then we, we cut it, and then we process it in our, in our products. he is already preparing new spores and glass flasks in the refrigerator. ready for seating here you see the beginning of the whole life cycle. this is where the c re, babies, in a very early stage are growing and kept. and this is where we start the base material for see read. the spores will later be sprayed onto the ropes that will be

dropped back into the water. but to day, he and his team are trying out a few products they intend to use to stir up the food industry. finally, some fraud was devoured. well, filmy, what do we have? yellow, so we have now seaweed sausages and see burger with barbecued meats with seaweed. these sausages aren't made from pure pork, but include 15 percent. see we're this beef burger is 30 percent c. we'd use photos and his colleagues realised that not everyone was prepared to give up meet entirely and see we'd helps to cut c o 2. when had done credit prize, it means you can use 30 percent less meet that's less meant to be produced. and of course, it's much more sustainable. thus naturalists business now heidegger and

cattle. farming produces lots of the climate killers, methane and c, o 2. on average, the production of kilo of beef has a carbon footprint of 13.6 kilos. if you're replaced 30 percent of the beef and beef burgers with seaweed, the carbon footprint would drop to 9.5 kilograms per kilo. marine biologist, sylvia house also wants to popularize a japanese dish in europe. it's a kind of seaweed fondue quickly. turns green green immediately, but and now we're take it out and debit. wait. oh oh oh, oh, love it. it's fantastic. go ahead. in restaurants we can, we can have this as an artist faded as an experience. so you get some fresh she read on one side, you put a phone view on a fable. at is this is really nice. sometimes about us finds it hard to believe how

far he and his company have come up. 10 years ago. he was still a manager in the soft drinks industry and now he is working to create healthy food fit for the future. he's moved by the thought that his vision might come true. i. so like if we can cultivate seaweed on a big scale and let the world no and benefit from what syria can bring an offer alternative for a fortune. i think them thought i hope everything fits line with with us issuing oh great. awesome. so what do we have here? chick peas, king law and hemp. when tons money to smith, organic farmer, eunice should sidney huff and agricultural scientist or to cov ankle had been working on their joint mission for 3 years now. with today,

the super food expert is promoting their climate friendly and draught, resisted foodstuffs at an organic market. much finish officially in law. i think it's important to get into conversation with people and ask them whether they like the food or not just was what are they looking for? did they have questions? that's why i like going to the market again. i want to listen to people and pass their feedback on to the farmers and into the field of research. the scoobie show kind of hot months of work. more and more people are getting into chick peas. over the last 10 years, imports have risen fivefold. ca vega would like to meet the demand domestically and gain more chick p fans i guess on 1st week. freshly mil to flower and make them yesterday. i've hardly ever seen some things over. i said also failed to get a flag of them because sure enough, bessie and they're lovely. so crispin nutty one. and if you can eat chick peas, but can eat not with a great alternative hbo pride. and i'd even like to miss you unless it's my mission

and to create farming and a future fit for coming generation. i want to get other people on board and give them a plan b and b again. yes. to get them on board and tell them that there are ways of changing things. lucas tried less sofa and none. mm. yona show, it's in me hops chick. peas are ready for sewing, or the idea of growing a new crop. came to him in his kitchen. pulses contain a lot of protein, but domestic types like garden peas, don't grow so well here any more. me then i mission league. it's more difficult now with native legumes because the weather the climate has changed. with the mild winter, we saw a big rise and pest switch among and of into shot, and i was on the lookout for alternatives, and one thing led to the next. now i'm growing chick peas will come. my,

it's my not alexia dickie, of the farmers home grown chick. peas have been on the market for 5 years now. and recently, he's acquired a big customer in berlin, who's using them to make co food, something akin to tow. for mr. medina, we need to you less meet a more clear protein that we need more variety than before matthew. and then i think we'll be able to feed more people using a slam, loiter. that's what we have to aim for. if we really want to survive as a society, as human beings, i'm harvest with standard units show it's a ne half is already making the switch to a new type of farming one that could ensure that there's enough food for every one . ah, a pulse with the beginning of the story that moves

us and takes us along for the ride. it's all about the perspective. culture information. this is d w. news and more. d w. made for mines. no. hello. hello. a face and voice are worth more than a 1000 words. the context, the body dramatically changes how we understand that person, artificial intelligence is getting better at reading people. all you have to do is give a machine a voice, and it immediately appears to have a human personality face and voice from the power of our 1st impression in 75 minutes on d w. ah,

what people have to say matters to us. ah, that's why we listen to their stories reporter every weekend on d w. ah, this is d w. news, and these are our top stories. risha soon, i guess that to become britain's 3rd prime minister this year. the form of finance men as they gained the support of more than half of m. p. 's from the ruling conservative party. his rival, penny mordant, withdrew on monday and has pledged to support the new government.
