satin i has been busy, i have been sick a straight did, because we tried to to cell dory of face mafia all over the world. environmentalists are in danger. the enemy, ruthless corporations, corrupted, government agencies and criminal cartels. targeted environmentalists in danger starts october 29th on d. w. fresh food galore in germany. we're 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 on germany, us, i'm beginning of that land come. we need to feed more and more people globally. but

intensive farming threatens the environment and our survival if we use for this will actually cuts of practices. the next 2000000 people that will be in the year 2015, we will need and lambda the size of refill. 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 some growth, a lot of seeing what food will we eat in the future. farmer eunice shoots in ne, half 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 farm 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 thing. you know, i'm a boat was selected 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. me to change a marcia nelnet swamped. austin, how should we eat in the future? is eating snips or every day isn't good, was in it probably isn't good to eat just lattice every day either to cover 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 armada via their feet fetish and i shall tish and send an con

mm. at his farm in the german state of saxony and heart eunice choice in the half grows all kinds of super foods. to day he sowing aquino seeds, the grain is native to the south american andes, but feels increasingly at home here than vianza mon with if we keep on growing what we always have was from them, we're not going to get anywhere. and if i thought climate change means getting used to the idea of cultivating different crops, cylindrical, 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 hadn't come on. so i felt like when showed sydney hoff took over his father's farm. 8 years ago it produced traditional crops like wheat maze 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 at both. 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. and my father always said farming is about thinking and generations. and i try to live by that principle. and as always had alkaline so called super food like keen, why are becoming more popular due to their high nutritional value. but demand for keen while here is driving up prices in south america and threatening their supplies. yet these hardy pseudo grain now thrives in europe too, does not seem as in the thing of, it makes much more sense to produce things locally. if it's possible value dealing with them 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. and of course, it would be great if we could grow our own food supplies on 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 of food and agricultural scientist or to go, vanka is supporting the adventurous farmer. together they're checking how the 1st seeds of the year are developing. yes, and this has come out quite well. ya know, 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 siblings from the tractor. the colonel. so we can't use machinery for hauling at the end of the machine. back of the to sonics crops, new to the region like he was and practically forgotten. ones like hemp meet a lot of trial and error. things can go wrong. but diversity is key. that isn't on

the missiles we, 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. it is a sort of so by we are investing quite a lot of work in something with an uncertain in a very uncertain outcome on the business. but it's an investment for the future, holds gunk on other than in the sicilian so called can what it sounds. keena 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 amplifies a pin of 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, seaweed. ah, there are estimated to be hundreds of thousands of species of algy worldwide. only

a fraction has been researched. seaweed can be cultivated on ropes, etc. sylvia sh cows quickly identifies the types of edible seaweed, thus is forgotten, that sugar color. now this green one is see, let us learn. you can need that to come on off se danasia is, and that's what coming on does. it weighs at least maybe 3 or 4 kilos. but i think he long there isn't ours been filled here 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. 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 need length, it doesn't need fertilizer. it doesn't need fresh water c, 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 feel of wrongs wet, see we've has a sore 100 and forensic heater bronsels here 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 cook wants to use its fertile soil to start a new trend together with her team. and farmers like you and us should sidney hoff

. she's introducing new arable crops to saxony and height. she's using his farm as a test field. as will blame us in the problem is that most farmers experiment a bit o that but because there's no scientific supervision they don't get listened to. denise the way to her. yes. entity only. and you're only deemed important when the university is on board to the researcher from the university of ha, 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, hospital men,

at the moment it's brought in from around the world. i'd like local agriculture to increase and become more crisis resilient. rushdin. if we ate less meet, there would be enough food for another $4000000000.00 people. that's another reason why all to call vega and her students are looking for plants that might thrive locally. need to be whatever flourishes here in the test garden could help guarantee food security in the future. the colonized 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 this lentils don't really work in your soil or chick peas need?

those particular conditions have support at the, on the stand up being 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 in here. we're trying quite a lot of the pretty crazy way out with things here. for example, the potato bean malavar spinach and perennial. cale would really wild as against public bizarre. so come spies in or a future foods is the name of the project. it promotes kilowatt and chic peace. 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? faison is the idea of sucrose. shy isn't, is from farm to table as of 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 plans here.

and i still often i have friends on so bong, but system change can only work if every one participates. she's convinced of that . and she's got a plan living 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 martin messiah day? we're going to make a king was salad and a king watching p. patty 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'm the one to put it simply hang from farm to table from fed. often tell us the baker

is trying his hand at making hummus from regional chick piece kids with honda too. much lemon juice. oh, it's our couple, 3 up. it's absolutely new for me and i'm 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 take over my bakery business, and i want to build a foundation when it's a nice alternative. i'm looking forward to it. let evil, before most of the hostile cook is also enjoying the change. with it you 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. a local choir is getting

to sample the food, all the ingredients are vegan, hello, and kosher said 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? maybe talk my daughter cooks like this. so i'm a bit familiar with it, went i have and i think it's good but to it personally, but i'm still a bit conservative, benign opposition? quote, i thought was a little hobbling. 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 than now we'll have to see what went down well and what didn't. and we'll need to continue supervising 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 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 8th years ago, i was sitting doing an incentive program for the employees offer the bank which 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 learn some money for yourself and not do enough for the society. 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 3 months. eco friendly, vertical farm crops grow without any soil at all. this is the roots thorn directly in the water. the roots absorb 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 if he lives 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 3rd and the aluminum will absorb heat 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 foreigner and the wall and you frame we are very vulnerable for security of so buying food. so we need to be able to have food production inside of the city as part of the infrastructure,

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. ah, boy size facility would be about $45000000.00 euro. because if the technology that have just been profitable, so when the philip or of our vendors can be profitable in all the countries of the world, they are not yet using the facilities entire surface, but already supply 120 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. hello laura. how's it going good for him to know about the result? german plant scientist last may get ski overseas process is in the vertical far. we want to keep them. she's working with bacteria that will support plant growth. yes, we'll do better. thank you. is thank of you. hm. 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, i swear to barrier in the netherlands. used about 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 o for a wave sickly. you still see them here on the rope. this is not so you can see a full rope here. and then we, we cut that, and then we process it in our, in our products. he is already preparing new spores in 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, foresee 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 followed was low, filmy. what do we have here? low, so we have now see we'd sausages and see burger with barbecued meats with seaweed. these sausages aren't made from pure pork, but include 15 percent. see we expect this beef burger is 30 percent c. we'd use fountas and his colleagues realized that not everyone is prepared to give up meet entirely and see we'd helps to cut c o 2 and had been 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 the kilo of beef has a carbon footprint of 13.6 kilos. if you 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 shed 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, i love it. even friend crafted. go ahead. in restaurants, we can, we can have this as a, as a how do you say that as an experience. so you get some fresh, she read on one side, you put a phone view on the table. it 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 feel like if we can cultivate seaweed on a big scale and let the world no and benefit from what series can bring and offer alternatives for a fortune. i think then i'm happy man. ah thought i hope everything been fine with us after that. oh great, um, so what do we have here? chick peas, king. wow. and hemp. when tons, money, organic farmer eunice should sidney huff and agricultural scientist old 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 resistant foodstuffs at an organic market. much finish officially from it in law. and i think it's important to get into conversation with people and ask them whether they liked the food or not just was what are they looking for? did they have questions that's. that's why i like going to the market. it's jennifer. i want to listen to people and pass their feedback on to the farmer as an into the field of research. so just give yourself and i've heard from nancy, look more and more people are getting into chick peas. over the last 10 years, imports have risen fivefold coughing. i would like to meet the demand domestically and gain more chick p fans. i guess on 1st we freshly mil to flour and bake them yesterday. i've hardly ever seen something so very thoughtful. we've had to get a flag of them. that's true enough,

buffy. i'm there. lovely. so crispin nutty one, and if you can eat chick peas, but can eat not with the great alternative, has applied. and i've even lanham as soon as it's my mission to create farming and a future fit for coming generations. 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. okay, i have a sofa and none. mm. yona show, it's in me hops chick. peas. already for sewing in 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 than i mentioned. it's more just called now with native legumes because the weather the climate has changed. with the mild winter, we saw a big rise and pests which 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. come on, my not alexia dicky of the farmer's 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 toe for mr. dana, we need to use less meat and more plan proteins. we need more variety than before, massey and then i think we will be able to feed more people using less land, lloyd to that's what we have to aim for if we really want to survive as a society hotel as human beings on august the 16, but you're not sure 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

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 with all you have to do is give a machine of voice and it immediately appears to have a human personality by face and voice. the power of our 1st impression in 15 minutes on d. w. e. go india. oh him ali and wow. in ongoing decline in demand has reduced the number of sheep herds causing the ecosystem to supper. now some local organizations are trying to rejuvenate the wants. ah, which would revive traditional craftsmanship and to benefit the environment?

eco 90 minutes on d. w. ah ah, visit d w. use live from berlin. that more people join the exodus from have san brush. ali relocates, thousands of people away from the fighting. 8 months into the war, ukrainian forces are bearing down on the key city. was coming up. uganda and authorities report the spread of abolla outbreak to the capital camp paula dest whole from the epidemic reaches 40 sold.
