11:15 am
when we think about earling, but now he's a player of manchester city. now he's scoring goals in a different shirt, and we have to stop him tomorrow to school. got no prizes for guessing who got cities winner in the reverse fixture. last month, a t one victory for the hosts. so now the question facing don't mind is one that used to be asked by their bond is legal repugnance. how do you solve a problem like erling holland's a close up is next with food for everyone looking at hopes that farming advances will help feed the world despite the ravages of climate change. they say with us, if you can for that, take away interest in the global economy, our portfolio d w. business beyond. here's a closer look at the project. our mission. to analyze the fight for market
11:16 am
dominance. get us to help with d. w. business beyond 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 from germany assigned to heal thought on. 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 echo cuts of practices. the next 2000000000 people that will be there in the year 2015, we will need and learn better. the source of brazil. it's time to switch to
11:17 am
sustainable farming practices and new food sources. if we want to support the global for chain and or for an alternative, and then we need to growth a lot of soon. what food will we eat in the future? aah! farmer eunice should send me half has been refining this recipe for a long time. it's something special he thought up for his 3 children. when done though, to the thick life an art, this is going to be a kind of chick pito for you. 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
11:18 am
entirely from local production, disfigure. now i'm about to look at to avoid a 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 a marcia nelnet swamped al sin. 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 like that. but it means that our food is very varied and nutritious armada via their feet fetish and i shall tish and send an con. hm. at his farm in the german state of saxony, unhurt units choice. and me half grows. all kinds of super foods today he solely tina was seeds. the grain is native to the south american andes,
11:19 am
but feels increasingly at home here than vianza. manuel, if we keep on growing what we always have was from them, we're not going to get anywhere in the fight. climate change means getting used to the 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 hadn't 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 beach. 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,
11:20 am
under phys, always had alkaline so called super food like keen, why 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 this 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 a my, 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. plug in 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
11:21 am
and agricultural scientist or to gov inca is supporting the adventurous farmer. together they're checking how the 1st seeds of the year are developing. yes, and this has come up 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 hoeing at the end of the machine. back of the to sonics crops, new to the region like keen why and practically forgotten ones like hemp mean a lot of trial and error. things can go wrong. but diversity is key madison from the missiles there's risk with all crops. if the weather isn't right the my crops might fail, and obviously from that point of view, i am reducing my risk by diversifying this eigen dish. it is unlikely, but all my crops will fail at once. so she does your coach launched jolla. of course there are costs attached to the learning process really isn't sorta so,
11:22 am
but we are investing quite a lot of work in something with an uncertain and a very uncertain outcome on the business. but it's an investment for the future house gunk on other than investments. wanted to quote, can what it sounds. kima 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 unless i as a pinch of item bought a galvan, current 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 dialogue. the river on board with him are german marine biologist,
11:23 am
zavy ash, cows and developer. leaning a home on their workplace is in a sense, under water. 124. 04 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 lead 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, etc. sylvia sch, house quickly identifies the types of edible seaweed basses into that sugar color. now this green one is say, let us live, you can eat that to come on all se danasia
11:24 am
is, and that's what coming on does it weighs at least maybe 3 or 4 kilos. divide through kilo that isn't ours. filter that's for dinner for now. 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 too, 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 he wants to support the global food chain and offer an alternative or re neve, the stress on the current system. and then we need to grow
11:25 am
a lot of seaweed 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 a beak 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 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
11:26 am
a lot faster. so if you roughly calculate every 1000 kilograms of wet, see we've has a sore 100 and printed kilograms of seo to to help popularize it in the european market. the team is also developing new recipes and products. 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, una should sidney hoff. she's introducing new arable crops to saxony on height. she's using his farm as a test field. as will blame us in the problem is that most farmers experiment a bit out, but because there's no scientific supervision,
11:27 am
they don't get listen till denisa like to hurt as entity. only him, you're only deemed important when the university is on board till 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. in mission viejo, via awfully we have to move towards producing more food and away from animal feed and fuel type stuff. and above all we need vegetables hold a moment at the moment it's brought in from around the world. well, 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
11:28 am
why or to count ankle 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. the colonized lot, we need new species. that's why we have this garden of to morrow here and for the fall. so farmers don't have to try things out on their fields as we're doing a bit of the legwork in advance for we can say yes, it works and you can try it out. look, it's growing really well or what? 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 to pop at the and east on uh, getting 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,
11:29 am
malavar spinach and perennial cale would really wild was as organs public as i am. 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 is often 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 london 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,
11:30 am
lena horne at lynn of atlanta. what are we doing with the game? what am i a day we're going to make a king was solid and a came watching p. 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, sighing. 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 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 me. 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
11:31 am
ahead of me, and this is the future. my children, my took over my bakery business and i want to build a foundation when it's on last alternative. i'm looking forward to a level before most of 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. 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. my daughter clicks like this. so i'm a bit familiar with it when i have and i think it's good. but to personally,
11:32 am
i'm still a bit conservative, you know nonfiction quite a lot more hotly. 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 most. and now we'll have to see what went down well and what didn't. and will need to continue supervising micah the time. but go to calvin glass to attend 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 the 8th years ago, i was sitting doing an incentive program for the employees offer the bank which
11:33 am
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 run 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 re months. eco friendly, vertical farm crops grow without any soil at all. this is the roots, thorns directly in the water. the roots absorb nutrients from water more easily
11:34 am
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 30 and the aluminum will absorb heat and put
11:35 am
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 input dropped. so shorter journeys also mean humans 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 jeans, but the technology is still very expensive for
11:36 am
size facility far would be about $45000000.00 euro, because if the technology that have just been profitable, so when the philip are above 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. hello, laura. how's it going? good for him to do about the result. german plant scientist last may get ski overseas processes in the vertical farm. we want to keep them. she's working with
11:37 am
bacteria that will support plant growth. yes, we'll do better. thank you. it's thank of you. hm. yes. the gun petitioner, 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 own. thus, sponsoring population growth means that such trail blazing 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
11:38 am
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 that the whoa fell me. what do we have here? low. so we have now see we'd sausages and see burger away.
11:39 am
barbecued meats with seaweed. these sausages aren't made from pure pork, but include 15 percent. see weir. this beef burger is 30 percent c, we'd use fountas and his colleagues realized that not everyone was prepared to give up meet entirely and see we'd helps to cut c o 2 manhattan cries. 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
11:40 am
a kind of seaweed fondue quickly. turns green green immediately, but and now we're take it out and dip id weights. but if i love it, it's fantastic. go ahead. in restaurants, we can, we can have this as a, as a our do 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
11:41 am
alternatives for a fortune. i think then i'm happy man. ah ah thought i hope everything's been fine with us after that. oh great, um, so what do we have here? chick peas, king law 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, this super food expert is promoting their climate friendly and draught resistant foodstuffs at inorganic market. defenders officially in law. i think it's important
11:42 am
to get into conversation with people and asked them whether they liked the food or not just was, what are they looking for? do they have questions that's. that's why i like going to the market. it's gone off . i want to listen to people and pass their feedback on to the farmers and into the field of research. so just give yourself enough men to look more and more people are getting into chick peas over the last 10 years, imports have risen fi fault. ca vega would like to meet the demand domestically and gain more chick p fans i guess on 1st queen freshly mil to flour in bake them yesterday. i've hardly ever seen some things over. i said also failed to get a flag of them. that's true enough. bessy i'm, they're lovely. so crispin nutty one. and if you can eat chick peas but can eat not the great alternative has applied and i've even know how i am a soon as it's my mission is to create farming and a future fit for coming generation. i want to get other people on board and give
11:43 am
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 me. you're not sure. it's in me. huffs 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 is more just cold now with native legumes because the weather the climate has changed with the mild winter, we saw a big rise and pests which magnet 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, i'd say, my name is alexia dicky of the farmers home ground 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
11:44 am
t less meet and more plan proteins that we need more variety than before matthew. 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, as human beings on august 15, 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 ah, what people have to say matters to us. mm. that's why
11:45 am
we listened to their stories. reporter every weekend on d. w. i have been frightened, i have been beaten. i have been sick, a straight it because we tried to do cell dory of face of mafia all over the world . environmentalists are in danger. the enemy, roofless corporations corrupted, government agencies and criminal cartels. targeted environmentalists in danger starts october 29, d w ah this week on world stories, fishermen protesting in india a 13 year old.
