ah, we're gonna need daughter to be cheeky doing what we're doing. and that's why your glean revolution is absolutely necessary. europe revealed the future is being determined. now. our documentary theory will show you how people do companies and countries are rethinking everything and making made changes to europe revealed starts november 3rd on d. w. ah 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, but i'm thinking of 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 fiscal agricultural practices, the next 2000000 people that will be in the year 2015, we will neither learn better the source of rest. so it's time to switch to sustainable farming practices and new food sources. if we want to support the global food chain 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 shoots in ne 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 anarky, this is going to be a kind of chick petosi. i am going to cut it into little fish shapes for my children, his 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're not on a boat selective little chick peas or a ga 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. we must see an illness approved else in how should we eat in the future? is eating schnitzer every day? isn't good, was in it probably isn't good to eat. just let us every day either 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 about us via their feet fetish and i shall tish and send an can aah! at his farm in the german state of saxony, unheard. eunice, choice in the half grows, all kinds of super foods. to day he sowing keynote seeds. the grain is native to the south american andes, but feels increasingly at home here. then via anthem on what if we keep on growing what we always have from them? we're not going to get anywhere in the fight. climate change means getting used to the idea of cultivating different crops. i think 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 hung alonzo. i felt like when shots in the 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. he's gearing up for the future with nutritious and more resilient crops, better suited to new climate conditions. and that's annoying at. 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 that principle and it was 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 to not seem as indy, the thing of it makes much more sense to produce things locally. if it's possible value dealing with him, 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. log new drug resistant crops could help in saxony. unhealthy spring rainfall is dropping, and summers are getting hotter and dryer. kilowatt is a timely solution. it needs a 3rd of the water required by wheat and agricultural scientist or to gov inca is supporting the adventurous farmer. together they are checking how the 1st seeds of the year are developing is and this has come up quite well. yarn said, 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 sonics crops,

new to the region like keen one and practically forgotten ones like hemp mean a lot of trial and error. things can go wrong. but diversity is key. now decent initially 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 i aig and it is unlikely that all my crops will fail at once. she should go to lunch, toya, of course, there are costs attached to the learning process. silly is a sort of why we are investing quite a lot of work in something with an uncertain in a very uncertain outcome on good business. but it's an investment for the future. health gung. i was an in the sicilian sutkowski and 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 and left by the pin 5 item ball to go. vanka, 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. for the front that are the river on board with him or german marine biologist, zavy ash, cows and developer leaning a home on their workplace is in a sense under water one to the for a resource for free, for 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,

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 shed house quickly identifies the types of edible seaweed basses who grants that sugar colored pal. this green one is see, let us learn. you can need that to come on off se danasia is and that's welcoming on to see it. ways at least maybe 3 or 4 kilos. but i think you know that isn't ours. 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

a 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 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 big 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 i can change their wanting their ride it on their social media,

but in the emphasis nothing. currently, his company operates 9 c. we'd farms cultivating the species that are native to the local ecosystems. the beauty of c, reed is that it grows in water. we don't need length, it doesn't need fertilizer. 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 frankly, the branch of seo 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 cove income wants to use its fertile soil to start a new trend together with her team. and farmers like even us should sidney hoff. she's introducing new arable crops to saxony, unhide, she's using his farm as a test field. as for 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 listen to initial wasted. i heard as entity on 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. it must be 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. 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 why all to call thinking 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 pop noise lot, we need new species. that's why we have this garden of to morrow here and for the call. so farmers don't have to try things out on their fields that we're doing a bit of the leg work in advance. 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 to pop at the wendy's on dogwood thing 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 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 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 circumstance isn't, is the idea of sucrose shy isn't, is from farm to table bas of to get farmers and cooks and trying out new types of

produce trying out different systems, new agricultural systems of the see in the local cultivation team of new plans here and our shelf and i have munson on so long, but system change can only work if every one participates. she's convinced of that . and she's got a plan looming in the local youth hostel. the agricultural scientist is getting cookery courses together with her colleague, lena horne, at lyn 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 keen 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 science. 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. compare often tell us the baker is trying his hand at making hummus from regional chic piece. it's a honda too much lemon juice. oh, it's our apple from the other. it's absolutely new from amazon 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 reading a deal. before most of the hostile cook is also enjoying the change was that 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. keenan 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? i need talk, it's my daughter cooks like this, so i'm a bit familiar with it. went ahead and i think it's good but do it personally, but i'm still a bit conservative to know how to proceed 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 it. yes more. thank. now we'll have to see what went down well and what didn't, and will need to continue supervising micah the time. but hello to calvin class, to attend to other things. first.

an inconspicuous building on the edge of copenhagen. could it be the solution for many of our food problems? owner? lehman certainly think. so. the name of his new fangled farm is nordic harvest. my background is as a financial analyst at an investment bank. and the 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 performance. so and then i thought you said ok, just to sit and earn 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 growing directly in the wall from 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 there been developed enough to make photosynthesis for pen?

so you can throw them in, lay us in water. and in actual fact 20000 ellie d 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 in the field which we put into an aluminum phase 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 corner and the wall and you

frame we are very vulnerable for security of the buying pool. so we need to be able to have food production inside of the cities 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 machines, but the technology is still very expensive for as far as facility far would be about 45000000 years. because if a technology is that have just been profitable, so when the developer of our vendors 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 marvis 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 plants 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 do. they do. 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 and 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 o for a way of 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 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 the ceiling. 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 ford was the low film. what do we have here? low, so we have now seaweed sausages and c burgers 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 about us and his colleagues realised that not everyone is prepared to give up meet entirely and see we'd helps to cut c o 2. when had been present, right. 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 hydrogen 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 taking it out and dip. id wait. but if i love it, okay, go ahead. in restaurants, we can, we can have this as a, 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 full chain. i think then i'm happy man ah ah, his thoughts i hope everything's been assign assessment. oh great. um. so what do we have? chick peas, king. wow. and hemp. when tons money to smith, organic farmer,

eunice should sidney huff and agricultural scientist ought 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 in law, and 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. it's again, i want to listen to people and pass their feedback on to the farmers and into the field of research. discovery 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

flour and bake them yesterday. i've hardly ever seen some things over. i said also if i had to give a flag of them, that's true enough. bessy and they're lovely. so crispin nutty won't. and if you can eat chick peas, but can eat not with the great alternative replied that i've even gone online to miss unice. 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. okay. i have a sofa and none me, you're not sure it's a ne huffs chick. peas are ready for sewing in the idea of growing and crops 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. but then i mentioned 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 . i dismantled 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 food limits, meaning we need to, you less me to more plan proteins that we need more variety than before matthew. and then i think we'll be able to feed more people using a less land 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 stay in one unit. so 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 everyone.

ah cash up to date. don't miss our highlights. the d w program online. d, w dot com, highlights the green. do you feel worried about the planet we to i'm neil. host of the on the grievance on coast and to me it's clear we need to change the solutions are out there. join me for a deep dive into the green transformation. for me to do with with

this is d, w is live from bad, a generational task that must start now, the words are jeremy's chance. so as he opens a conference on the reconstruction of ukraine following brushes, invasion talk is of a program on the scale of the marshal class to how realistic.
