tv   Europe Revealed  Deutsche Welle  December 8, 2022 7:15pm-8:01pm CET

7:15 pm
and his a quick reminder of the top story we're following for you today. the united states has secured the release of basketball style brittany cry now from russian custody as part of a prisoner swab. the us will hand over russian arms dealer, vic to bought in exchange and with that you are up to date coming up next, our documentary series examines to what extent sustainable agriculture is possible here in europe. stick around for that. if you can. i'm on the cooper mckinnon in berlin, on behalf of the whole news team. thanks so much for watching with a special hotspots in germany,
7:16 pm
euro and the world d. w. travel extremely we're in. ah, today was kind of a thing interested with little. we believe the future lies in grow. ok and then we have 9 or 10000 pigs today. lamear in my father's day it was just 15 and then i left volley. we're gonna need dora han, we can't keep doing things the way we do. now. when we have to be sustainable as possible in money, in other words, the green revolution is discriminated. you're actually notice where on the cusp of a fundamental disruption to how we produce fade. we ready to expect the cow will be obsolete by 2035 is hard not to see. con is people really embedded in traditional agriculture being the loses it doesn't matter where in you are,
7:17 pm
you are the only people that can manage the land properly at the farmers. ah, ah, europe's farmers produce our food day in and day out, adept. and so from many centuries, every country, region and climate has its own culinary tradition. ah, farmers shape our landscapes. they reflect our history as well as our identity. but at a farming is in crisis. industrial agriculture, striving for higher yields at a lower cost, has become an environmental disaster. it's time for a radical rethink. but what would that look like?
7:18 pm
some 700000000 people live in europe. how can they all be fed sustainably? today most creepy and farms are still run by families with come on come here. they're happy here in the meadow. they're not interested in me. ah . i'm in with oliver shadow mom a change. i don't have a cousin will. shadow money because i love raising my animals. i love my work. i love being surrounded by animals and i love my freedom. i'm a farmer. someone local who works. the land knows it. well. i think that i do my
7:19 pm
job well. feeding people is important, but when we run into problems, we deal with them one at a time. i'm proud to be in this field much. i'm proud to be helping feed mankind. i oh, i see you and i raised dairy cows. i have about $65.00 dairy cows per year, which produce about 600000 liters of milk. oh, performing very even power, even if my father used to sell mill directly to customers who would come with pale . but hardly anyone does that. and you know, it's a shame for the way she quantities, if increased. my, grew up here and i watched my father build up his bomb. that history connect me to this place. these are my roots and it's something i want to preserve
7:20 pm
a amanda layer like you did during the mill crisis. some people really struggled. shackleford, the price of milk was so low that they couldn't and profit can a farmer on their own if they had family issues or health struggles or anything. it went quickly downhill on ocean mon willis. on 9. we feed people is, are we do our family than we given her all? and yet for some, in the only way out seems to be suicide. that's awful to her. the number of farmers taking their own lives is astronomical. it's tragic and kinda not per se, socratic touched on either farms are being abandoned, farmers are giving up in france a farmer. commit suicide every 2 days. more than anywhere else in europe. abandoned farms are everywhere. but why
7:21 pm
global competition is at least partly to blame. consumers demand low prices and every kind of fruit and vegetable. what ever the season? agriculture has become a ruthless global business. not all that long ago, most of our food was produced locally. but today in europe, half of all food is imported according to data collected by euro stat over the past 20 years. ah, this map displace milk exports among european countries. the thicker the line, the larger the export. fresh tomatoes travel even further. european consumers want fresh vegetables and the global market reacts moon. europe has
7:22 pm
become a world champion in exports of pork, primarily to china and asia, but also to the rest of the world in for farmers, the choice, a simple expand and increase productivity or get squeezed out to be impact is clear. in 10 years, europe has lost nearly 4000000 farms. and yet every year the european union doles out 60000000000 euros in agricultural subsidies . where does all that money go? the answer lies in history and the origins of europeans subsidy policy. ah, at the end of world war 2, much of europe lay in ruins. hunger was rampant agricultural production had to be
7:23 pm
revived as quickly as possible. mm mm. the solution was financial aid and rapid modernization. the strategy worked soon. the shops were filled and bread, butter and meat were plentiful again. the strategy is still alive to day. agricultural productivity has risen steadily. since the 1950s, the average weight yield per hector has doubled and dairy cow supplied $2.00 times as much milk. many experts say that europe's massive subsidy system is outdated. europe could easily feed itself without it, but it endures. many have grown to depend on it. part
7:24 pm
of the blame lies in the criteria that govern e. u. agricultural policies. 3 quarters of the funds are distributed according to the size of the farm. the larger the farm, the larger the subsidy with often outlandish result. nestled on romania is great. brian island is europe's largest farm. 55000 hector's of land and 10000000 euros in agricultural subsidies every year. the money goes to al dora a company based in the united arab emirates. ah, sharon must buy the le most airflow, no comb. or if i to parted in that in re loan effort to do this, but the fields behind me belong to one company. it's a thorn in the side of romanian. family farmers fact because the company practice
7:25 pm
is very intensive. agriculture full assessed such as to fit n o x 30 and are there 30 la dental, productive there that at alamo. muslim finch pal the 3rd time he soil here is used mainly to grow grains and the grain doesn't stay here. it's exported directly after the harvest, probably to the united arab emirates i made up to laura bay when needed. she and the pianist esl de la, so took on the dylan purchase and the company all the criteria needed to receive subsidies. while the small farmers here are not eligible for those subsidies eligible been through and out of the funded the romanian government has interpreted the european rules to mean that farm smaller than 3 hector's are not eligible for each subsidies. that effectively excludes most agricultural operations in romania, where small family farms are the norm square. for cds as busy in my what's in the,
7:26 pm
on the last with a dinner. j. chiropractic, i think was dora and theme to tell us that how can you offer support to less than one percent of farmers while the remaining 99 percent left downgrading from over there in terms of their social impact. e u. agriculture policies with their financial subsidies and other measures have been a dismal failure. oh, their regulations are harmful to our society. hello, anti so charlie ramona to many tune you is determined to fight back soon as you are together with other small farmers. she's fighting for their rights to day. her organization has some 14000 members. i am new to j there. so. so know that our political leaders have never lived in a rural area. she that's why they don't know what could help us anything to look into. if they would at least visit our community, maybe they'd have some sense of how small farmers live that infinity,
7:27 pm
she little daughter. oh, who sitting in their offices and they don't see any of that little military monet, delay theory and practice goodies are 2 different. they might have who practica small farms are often less productive, but the coven pandemic is served as a reminder of their importance. during lockdown, local farms rose to meet the demand, and without them many local crops which helped maintained biodiversity would be long gone. she made a jump when a little marvellous will fight until we get our rights back. in farmers deserve that on that, on the e u. agricultural subsidies system has proved problematic in practice. how can that be remedied? and industrial agriculture is given rise to a host of problems and not for small farmers, but for us all in europe,
7:28 pm
it's responsible for some 11 percent of carbon emissions. ah, with our appetite for meat is part of the problem with to satisfy that craving. the number of livestock has sort according to the un statistics, especially in italy, been alex western france and ireland, that's especially true when it comes to pork. and in some regions there are more pigs. then people, spain this now the world's top pork exporter. ah . and the
7:29 pm
same thing with sadness as if it were theming espana in the last few years. the pig farming sector in spain has grown exponentially on even it's become a major player worldwide. he went about 40 or 50 percent of spain's production is explored en espanol, california alberto munoz ran several family own farms with $10000.00 livestock. his pick farming business is one of the largest in spain. lay still. yeah, i think it was. i see the simpler, the thing in the that, that i think went anywhere. let's get our history at qatar. best has always been about growth. we have 9 or 10000 pigs. in my father's time, it was 50 elect value that it should be there. we're proud of that our, our family is proud of our business. they're older, they're fashionable, it's our passion. lucky. we've dedicated our lives to it,
7:30 pm
no iep. and we don't intend to give it outside your organization. come for the video in regard of a good only burden. when i started out we raised cattle. my father always had cattle. the slaughterhouse used to be right here. this is where we was slaughter the famous abdulla calves. obviously, calves are famous around the world really unfair soonest. groups he gets almost half hon. you're luckily wooded at an ivy at the mcgill affinity we're going to can are a lot of here agriculture and livestock farming have to keep up with population growth. that meant that population density is much higher than it used to be of interest. and so agricultural production and livestock farming also need to become more concentrated among them. the world population keeps growing as every time there's millions of people they might or might not like me, tell me that they'll eat whatever they have from it and look, but we have to keep producing flu loose and element other than him or similar.
7:31 pm
we're planning to new project or to livestock operations years for them. we hope these aren't the last new projects we can take on growth as our future interest. you can't just stand still with us, but endless growth. is that really the solution? or will we have to set the limits for our own good and for the animals we depend on . industrial farming practices are not the only problem. livestock requires more high protein feat, such as corn grains and soy. half of europe's farm land is devoted to animal feed. the war in ukraine has made the bread. we eat more expensive, and the same is true for animal feed. much of it is exported like so from south america. the stakes in our plates come at the cost of clear cutting, vast tracts of rain forest.
7:32 pm
the po valley in northern italy is one of europe's most fertile regions. ideal for livestock farming and large scale feed cultivation. the damage caused by intensive farming is very apparent here and not just in the air we breathe. ya, melinda, monte cristo, moscow, dog, civic. well, i think all along with the dillard eric on metal, if you look around, you can see that a lot of corn is growing in these fields are beyond more. this is industrial agriculture, very intensive, mainly devoted to corn. if underneath the fountain, isn't that grow them? and think, well both careful. it's early in the morning, professor manuela lasagna and her students are studying the impact of the chemicals used on crops labinata or the fed up. all right, so i'll take the 1st measurement, then we'll take samples juanita, roger. the luck was the ranika suzana that she'll cook. we indeed,
7:33 pm
we've been monitoring of the ground water in this area about 15 years and a man like we found there are some areas where the nitrate concentration is always above the legal limit, yet it was that's due to the use of synthetic and organic fertilizers containing nitrogen compounds and agriculture plants of these nitrogen compounds to grow. when the plans don't use at all because too much, fertilizer was applied, or it was applied in correctly. and the nitrogen containing substance will that either i washed into the soil when it rains over lockwood, the pressure be that's an, a pending cody cook with us and from the soil. it ends up in our ground water. so that can increase the nitrate concentration in our ground and just kind of been either out on that enough request of the le let him to have to i feel it to the brim. seen yes. we'll measure the nitrate levels now and we sample it later. i'm to hammer dog in it. i don't have very close on the lead nitrate residue and ground water is dangerous. because groundwater is used for many things,
7:34 pm
a little above or for drinking water in just drinking water with high nitrate levels, you can make you sick of thought. a dilemma like blue baby syndrome gamma, which is a heart effect found maybe in children, is when it causes problems with the oxygen supply. teacher and recent studies have also shown how consuming high levels of nitrates might cause many more serious diseases. buffalo broke out a molecule into godaddy. the e u had succeeded in significantly reducing nitrate levels on farmland. but recently these levels have once again begun to increase researchers at stockholm university of discovered an interesting correlation. the more agricultural subsidies a region receives from the e u. the greater it's nitrate contamination? like here in northern italy,
7:35 pm
i thought it came of an ot queen. i thought it was to come gentlemen though. but why did we come here to take our sample with africa? because much of the ground water from the po, valley flows into this river. when the ground water converges yet and mixes with a water in the po river left with it to my phone. the nitrate contaminated waters of the po, flow into the adriatic sea water nose, no borders. nitrates can be found in nearly all lakes and oceans. these nitrates lead to a harmful accumulation of nutrients that causes algae overgrowth. green carpets then are even visible from outer space. like here in the baltic, sea algae
7:36 pm
blooms block, the sun's rays, suffocating organisms that live deep under water. when algae decomposes, it reduces the level of oxygen in the water. large areas of the baltic sea have become dead zones. the country is bordering. it have already reduced the influx of nitrate, but it will take many years before the baltic recovers problems like this have helped organic food rise in popularity. consumers have become more environmentally aware, and more health conscious. but organic farming is nothing new. it was established in germany
7:37 pm
a century ago. more more consumers to day are looking to avoid pesticide and chemical fertilizers and promote biodiversity. organic food has become big business . over the last 20 years, organic farmland has grown from 3.5 to 8 percent of europe's cultivated land. the e u is now hoping that its green new deal will increase this to 25 percent by 2030 . organic farmers are fighting to preserve bio diversity and the fertility of our soil in the western balkans. industrial agriculture has not yet taken over. most farms or small biodiversity is flourishing, and the soil is still rich and fruit. i'll without the over use of chemicals. conditions here are ideal for organic farming and for producing products that are especially valuable on the european market. in a village in kosovo,
7:38 pm
hover sherburne yonkers organic business is barry proof l. s. chemicals that need to spread it all over this table ne business. see another thing on using our business is called 99 lula or 99 flowers skeleton we collect, medicinal and aromatic plants that grow wild in nature low. yet we also cultivate some varieties in open field is in that we also process plant to make teas. boyles creams, vinegar and spices. freshman. organic products have not yet caught on locally 99, lou them mainly supplies the e u market. i your could hear thought air auster, colby mutual to could cool and honestly what matters to us is a high demand for our plants in the international market. tattletale! we know that exports can help you grow a business. and that helps assure greater sustainability and safety. and you attend
7:39 pm
rush mary, math need and mark siegel see go . what? oh bang is that women face many obstacles to founding a business? papa finance. first of all, really you need funding easy. but it's hard for women in kosovo to obtain a bank loan on, but with no property as collateral. i'd bunker for if you're unemployed and have no collateral. regency banks won't give you a loan for finance, but every setback that you thought that just increases your determination with any e. 40 to the n brown. i've been good. a voucher boon yoko remained undeterred. she fought to launch business and helped the women in her village. no, let me tell you. listen to us 3. this effect today she has 60 employees from various ethnic backgrounds. jamiracle should all be. i dedicated myself to the business and to my children. my may be, i neglected my children from time to time,
7:40 pm
but i had to work been up before the war. i worked in education, but after the war i was unemployed every i needed an income before. so i worked very hard. my business is my baby charlie county to the actual peck me, partly lumps other radical changes in europe could shape the farming of to morrow. the netherlands may be small, but it's at the forefront of an agricultural revolution. it's now one of the world's leading vegetable producers until recently, little attention was paid to the ecological impact of high intensity farming. but that's changing. rather campbell, on accident is not for o'con kesha or neat in dock master black energy congress
7:41 pm
shouldn't be to dogmatic low temperature. it's easy to say we should all make the switch to organic farming, or go back to traditional methods as long as it, but that's boxing ourselves into a corner. 5 by 2050 will have to provide food for tenant 1000000000 people. that isn't. that's a tremendous challenge. at the same time, we have to see the plant, which means being a sustainable as possible is do as alimony. it'll. and we desperately need a green revolution in. that's where smart farming comes in. i have a smartphone. there isn't a lot, but take a look and spend an n day is an agricultural and plant scientist at vacuuming in university. his lab is one of the leading research groups of its kind in europe, smart farming, hey, veda, predicted out of may, saw him in a thought over sort precision. agriculture, smart farming is smart. farming is quite multifaceted. aker for much of it is about precision agriculture pain. but smart farming also means that we're using all the innovations we see around us. whether they come from organic or mainstream farming
7:42 pm
open halo smart, we want to bring it all together in a smart way to create sustainable systems. she stay my little take levin and azalea . ok seen about smart farming that these ethan call me. nasty smart farming is a combination of high tech innovation and intelligent ideas that come from organic farming. michel septa, is she stamen diva shows or to be local lumber, or beckoned smart technologies form the basis for smart farming, like energy saving, eli d's sensors, robots and a variety of digital tools. with the goal is a fully automated greenhouse soon of pepper plant. like this will be monitored 247 from seed to harvest. yeah. like i believe elfin of those fisher, you can theoretically control everything from here with like these 2 compartments and the unit back there. fi, no smart farmingville,
7:43 pm
a sales acre or venue. hopa said if is if the can smart farming in europe is so very to see it in the netherlands. tomatoes are good and high tech greenhouse gas. if you compare that open field, farming and spain is fine, you in spain, you end up with 4 kilos per square meter at harvest, and another lands 80 kilos per square meter made so 20 times as much enable on say such stuff. the people come to feel automated that the strength of kenya, o'brien can are greenhouse, as we use 75 percent less water and hardly any pesticides within the bank. if we use pesticides, they're mostly organic, long contained environments. it is a st caution. there's knowledge about one aspect of smart farming, that's where you can find plenty of examples of smart farming on open fields to smart pharmacy. new smart farming also means integrating organic techniques into industrial production. in permaculture, for example, several different plans, species are grown side by side that can nearly eliminate the use of chemical
7:44 pm
fertilizers and pesticides. venting garzon garrett, elated like one of yahoo, sampras animal ash that was the one he had hung 1000 years ago. we were still hunter gatherers from us. i was the way we fed our so little staff lumber. at some point people started to domesticate crops out and that was the birth of agriculture . the 2nd green revolution about automation and chemical fertilizers, which increased yield over the data. then came the 3rd green revolution which created new varieties and also increased to yield slate. but it did have downsides . high water use it lots of pesticides, st. me a new style, but now we're in a beginning of a 4th green revolution in which we need to make production as efficient as possible . while limiting our consumption of resources. input stuck with the technology is already in use, and costs are dropping quickly. as smart farming expands,
7:45 pm
it promises to reduce our impact on the soil. but what about energy consumption and the quality of the food it produces? ah, this new green revolution promises to reshape our rural landscapes. and not only that food can be produced anywhere, even in the city. ah, knew some of the sea or the pseudo reservoir door, nor portable dwelling unit or parking. we are on top of process water reservoirs belonging to the city of paris. met twister, c for the city, came up with the idea of using this site for urban farming or ju rubin, and resume duty room quasi. but we mainly grow micro grains and green house at the
7:46 pm
on the stereo. the flock from outdoors we grow annabelle, flowers, herbs, and berries. i was small food products with big value. mccormick will defer say dirt the flour should be cut at an angle so that it heals better, feel better. i laughlin the nurse think it's easy. this one's nice. busy and to the no, no, no, to steve on. do the man. yeah. earlier than you put them here. 3. take loo. everything is sold locally or so there is little transport in contribute. we sell to restaurants and the general public old result. don't city dwellers today or searching for meaning and purpose of retorted su, samar, going back to the countryside or scot returning to nature, may urban farming is also a way for city dwellers to find meaning without leaving the city we're told we'd like to do source sauls, right, because i believe the cities of the future will be very grima june. i hope it will
7:47 pm
happen in my life tired. the korean from urban and smart farming could help supply us with fruit and vegetables. but there's another urgent problem. today europe consume 60 percent more meat than 60 years ago. men, especially experts agree that's far too much, but not many are willing to give up their stakes. that's where protein alternatives could come in. in san sebastian spain, beth, it is be a waters is researching alternative sources of meat. she's hoping to find a replacement for livestock in a laboratory flask. elaine, but it hung up on him as he knows where he was and let us know the work never stops a cell. cultures don't rest at night or on weekends. we have to be organized. take
7:48 pm
turns, keep it all go any we're about to ramp up. so that we can keep raising our production capacity and i will, we're all giving 300 percent example. while, while it's almost a little annoying, we encountered this, looking for a solution is so, but it is very exciting, but it's wonderful. and i lot of us have even isn't going to be very though i see as for mom and birth, other professional, and most popular now my sally, this is where it all starts, where the process begins either. but we've taken a sample of muscle from an animal and we'll select the cells we're interested in. that will keep the muscle cells which produce protein and cultivate them. then it will end up with millions of cells that will proliferate, and that will turn into billions and even more billions. ultimately, they'll fuse together to form flesh una,
7:49 pm
cultivated me to those guys. like on the computer. it all starts with the cell cluster, which divides and multiplies the goal is to grow an entire stake in the laboratory, t governor them because i want us for the now we have to figure out what prototypes we have and what our budget is. then we can figure out how many fans we can exhibiting, because maybe we can add another one for one more look and throw them into a lot of stuff. we'll us mass sclerosis, either a main obstacle was coming up with a proof of concept or showing that what works on a small scale that can also walk on a very large scale. those are some that i feel thinking that's the key technological challenge for them. the lab grown meat is on the cusp of becoming a reality. the entire industry is competing to become the 1st to market it on a large scale and with the yes, lavin gram maxima. this is the biggest adventure i've ever embarked on you on those was the challenge is very motivating, especially when it could have such
7:50 pm
a positive impact, a global impact. yeah. it that adam mercedes be a what a startup is still in the development phase. other companies are a bit closer to the goal, like solar foods, not far from helsinki, which is building its 1st test plant, dedicated to what it calls precision fermentation. it uses microbes, electricity, and air to generate all kinds of proteins. soon there even hoping to produce milk proteins and at a much lower cost than cow's milk. ah, startups like these received little or no e, you subsidies. they raise funds on the financial market. but their work could end up revolutionizing farming. why
7:51 pm
live on the cusp of a fundamental disruption to how we produce fade? you know, by 2030, the cost of production of protein is gonna come down by $5.00 times by 2035 by 10 times. and that's last compared to animal protein that's going to have huge ramifications for how we produce protein. in 2019 catherine tub center shockwave through the meat industry when her london based think tank made an astonishing prediction. i hate to read. how can i help? i was looking for a piece of steak for special occasions. i don't know if you can recommend and i got some t boned to re boys. but if i was to go for anything said i all probably have a nice bit of a sirloin. sharon delicious. the nice radical changes because the cost of protein is going to come down by $5.00 to $10.00 times is going to be a huge impact on the number of animals. so we actually forecast 50 percent fear
7:52 pm
accounts by 201375 percent view account by 2035. we ready to expect the cow will be obsolete by 2035. like any disruption. there's gonna be lots of one as and lots of lasers. it's hard not to see content people really embedded in traditional agricultural being the losers. and in that more industrial state aver predictions come true that vegetables and meat will soon be produced in factories. will that spell the final blow for farmers? one solution to help save farmers might be underway here in barron in the north west of ireland. brendan dunford has come up with a plan to support traditional agriculture while preserving nature
7:53 pm
the work here began rumps. i got 20 years ago and i, we did some research, i'm all about the relationship between farmers in the barn and their landscape art . and we found out that, okay, the wrong type of farming, very intensive, modern methods can be very damaging for this environment. but in contrast, tradition, foreign practices, all grazing regimes and about management regimes are really critical to maintaining the by diversity and the natural environment in the barn. so when we finish that research and there is a recognition, not just within the farmer community, but within the conservation authorities that we need farmers on the land farming in a way that have gone for 6000 years. if we want to protect the parent into the future. so the towns then became how'd we support these farmers? brendan done for its program, provides grants to farmers who limit their environmental impact. the funds come
7:54 pm
from the e. u and the irish government. so in the barn program, we have a way of rewarding farmers who deliver great outcomes for our environment. we have a very simple scorecards where we walk each feel like this field every summer, and using 10 different categories that grazing levels the condition that letter was sources defeating system, the presence of invasive species. is there any damage being done? and we tell you that all of up to create a score to 10. it's a seemingly simple idea and an appealing one that's already one over 300 farmers who take him together, farm some 23000 detectors of land. michael daren is also participated in going to be the field scores as recommendation about how you improve the score in the area of the field,
7:55 pm
the score to 10 if it's come up or down and the amount of money that these it field errands to farmer in terms of the environment said why my own in a 9, and that picks for doing, you know, and so extensive development, you're going up there, you're going up there. so, you know, when you get up there and they're all good, there's nothing to make society wherever you live. like money. that's what makes the world go around. and like, managing the farm, doing this environment to farming is called aaron's us good money. maybe up to turn of our income constant from there at the minute. and the bigger the score, the more money in. so yes, but it isn't really competition with my neighbor. i wondering what's he doing that i am not doing? and i want to do that because you get me more money. so that's the real reason that i'm doing it. i'm a businessman and i have to earn a living for some form of what the farmer has done here over the last
7:56 pm
number of years is 1st of all he's repair the walls and that allowed them to target creating more effectively here and by targeting, grazing, wintertime you're creating more flowers in summer time. secondly, the water source which is previously polluted by ca, to stand against. he's built a wall around this and pumped the water to storage trough, which then feeds profit for the cattle. so that allows the animals to drink clean fresh water, but also keeps the water source fresh and clean for us who are drinking also the water on this area. the 13, you don't need to change the feeding system. he's moved towards the more b spoke feeding system, which actually does less damage to environment. i'm cards is creating greater increasing levels and over the years by virtue of those management interventions and better grazing. so putting more capital on the right time, the score is gone from $6.00 to $7.00 to $8.00 to $9.00, and now it's $10.00 to $10.00. because my god, when you look around here, you can see that this is pretty much perfect. land is being managed beautifully. so the farmer is getting a premium payment brendan done 1st program is
7:57 pm
a success. it's a win win situation for local farmers and for the environment. grasslands are beginning to recover along with bio diversity. i think there's, there's huge challenges and we need we need huge changes and we need to really quick and that's why i'm excited about the potential of the farmers and the phishers and the far to the world, the country on some heroes. if we can get those on boards working tours and searching outcome if we can get those those communities to buy and and to be the leaders to be the cutlass or change to be the 1st responders to these crises. i think i'm optimistic that can happen. europe spends billions of euros to subsidize farmers to produce more and more food at ever lower prices. all the while, our soils are dying. the climate is in crisis and our health is at risk. good.
7:58 pm
laboratory farming help make industrial agriculture more affordable and sustainable . if that happens, farmers might also stand to benefit by producing less at higher quality and smaller scale farmers might once again become the guardians of nature, and biodiversity ah to the point, strong opinions, clear positions, international perspectives. as temperatures plunge, the war in ukraine is entering a new and brutal phase brushes. attacks on critical infrastructure amount to weapon
