ah, ah ah, the news from the gardens of inch and mister port team you to the field of modern industrial farms. we'd be producing food for millennia. but to these patterns of consumption and production, harming people and the planet on this edition of eco india, we explored efforts underway to help fix brokers from hello welcome. i'm from that i'm food waste is one example of just how broken the system is. why millions of people remain under fed more than one 3rd of the food produced global goes to west urine. india and estimated 40 percent is discounted. we visited
3:03 am
and deli based start up that's rescuing food destined from the dump by transforming it into feed for animals. ah, it's feeding dying all is dirty farm, and am bol the state of her young farm? jaundra more the husband in the business for 40 years. he's mindful that his cows get new just died. the hell didn't stronger the animals, the better and more abundant. the milk eating is about the year, the still can't them gains on it, but now we have excess do a good feed supply while we get more milk using it and it keeps our animals heli. it said that a lot of any of this for the, the suspicion it's made from food waste processed by the daily based startup,
3:04 am
gracefully the company collect leftover food that it gets free of charge. and that would otherwise be discarded from $700.00 locations. more than 50 cities across india, the company sees that mix it the largest food recycler in the country. food waste is one of the largest weights we segments in india. and if you see the last 50 years, there has been work that has happened in plastics. recycling and electronic waste recycling or when it comes to food, which does not in any innovation the last 30 years, the solution, the most popular solution to food waste that it, that is like, ah, most accepted form is composting or by i guess. but composter was an unsatisfactory solution for snack manufacturer. to be honest, the company began producing healthy snacks from vegetables. 4 years ago. demand is
3:05 am
high and as production has increased, so 2 has the quantity of its nutrient backed graps. if i talk about doing that any shall days, odd cents though, volume was not that high. so the visitors were very live. but now they're of your playing in the volumes. now they're 5 percent expose and is that enough volume and which has to be recycled or, you know, mitigated or maybe put into the best use that we can do the company. now bosses, it's damaged goods on to westlake that saved the snack producer or disposal costs and supplies whistling with more of the raw materials. it needs what it feed, production, newtons of potatoes are so dotted to, to families as big feet. most other food raised is dried and ground, extend packaged and delivered to animal food produce when the, when you arrive to the facility, it, you know, it is offload it. we know we weigh it by category to make sure that we are
3:06 am
accurately of, at a what quantity of what category we have that is punched into the inventory that we receive. and depending on the nutrition formulation of the, of the product that we have picked, we would decide what is the end goal or that goes into catalyst poultry, aqua or swine. and then be prepared formulation mixes. but the recycling of leftover food is still the exception in india, even though it saves money and protected again, $1.00 most raised to simply left rock as decomposes it consumes oxygen and releases maintain a powerful greenhouse gas or g a g for short. oh, so for example, if food lawson based was a country, it would have been the 3rd largest carbon ymca like gm gm, and only after china and usa. so if you look at the problem, it's huge and there is a lot of potential to reduce food loss in vase and all the emissions and everything
3:07 am
that goes into its input food produces on suddenly to blame for the mountains of food list, 40 percent of the food produced in india is loss due to inefficient supply chains. huge quantities of spoil as a result of long transport ropes, an inadequate ref address. social habits also play a role. for example, in india, in some cultures, deep breath were food left. otherwise, it's like they're not made enough. so they would want that there's still food on the table, but that can be taken care of it. but that's again attentional issue, converting food wrist and do animal fault is one way to limit the garbage to date. westland has processed 5000 duns and the market has grown with almost 540000000 animals. india has the largest livestock population in the world. demand
3:08 am
for dry feed is greater than the available supply. that's life lead manufacturer shot. he has been buying additional feet from recently for the past 4 years to save on gone and green cost in nor does better than oil. also, if you are lou said vendor lucia luna, in marysville underwood, energy in foster or in roseville. young, are you doing the oil were lou, and then as you are a lot of them we're yet it's nutritional value makes the feed of winning solution for gender. mon, the farm was animals are healthy and happy and the father is cheaper than conventional bronze. well as that report shows, food rest for many of us is an invisible process. that doesn't start in our kitchens. when we throw out anita left or was a spoilt reduce, it begins out on the farms in the fields where food is produced. that's where an
3:09 am
organization and spin is focusing its efforts in harvests or faculty edible fruit and vegetable rejects. and billy was them to food banks, adding nutritional value to handouts for the needy. it's all hands on deck in this spinach field just outside barcelona. and our grass and the team of volunteers are collecting all they can to day their efforts will supply many needy people in the region with fresh food at the hooking wise k. wow. there's so much i can't really gauge how much. yeah. but it should be enough to feed $100.00 families or even more on the quote from us. and i could ask works for the a speaker leathers. the glee nurse, the non profit organization collects left over crops after the commercial harvest on many fields in spain's catalonia region. this practice was more common before
3:10 am
industrialized farming and the introduction of strict regulations. now it has been revived here by the espy will adores around 8 percent of the world's crops. i believe, to be lost at harvest time. the european union fruit and vegetables are rejected to fed too big or small and don't comply with appearance standards see out as that was in god, but they were in the field of spinach that hasn't been sold on the market because there was not enough demand for it under and don't they see? not the way it was cool he in though. so if we wouldn't be harvesting the spinner generally element, it would go to wanting her to be in the se. okay, bassetti of the farmer would simply plow through the field here with his trying to get her to prepare it for the next harvest, but operate but audio got. so what we're doing here is removing the spinach. it looked to give it a 2nd opportunity. but oddly enough, they will know what the lead up last year alone, her organisation saves over 600000 killers of fruit and vegetables. in this way, the water and c o 2 emissions invested in their growth were not in vain. the
3:11 am
rescued produce arrives in this warehouse. it's then distributed to charities across the region. avid the economic fall out from the pandemic demand at spain's food banks has at times doubled. now rising prices and economic uncertainty caused by the warn, ukraine are putting more pressure on the vulnerable current enough on our phone to coordinate the deliveries at the warehouse in barcelona port a lap laptop. getting imagine the people who are most in need have the poorest diet hook up. now, because in the end, the cost of food determines what they eat theater, but at ensuring that they're supplied with a minimum of high quality. my basic producing is very important for these people's health. if they in let me finish how they qualify the volunteers activities helped build momentum for the drafting of a regional bill to prevent food loss and waste. recently passed, the legislation promotes the practice of cleaning as a solution. a similar law will come into force nationwide as people others found
3:12 am
our media barava is proud of that. she started the organisation in 2014. now she also runs in operation on the outskirts of fossil owner that produces its own brand of preserves, made from food that otherwise would be thrown away to day. they're cooking a pumpkin recipe, and apple sauce. people who work here come from disadvantaged backgrounds and have struggled with exclusion rather than we begin if this is only a small factory left with marcus, tennessee. but unlike in an industrial sized factory of people who work hair, get the chance to try their hand at different jobs area in every step of the production process. backing up with it, though, would it help if they, they can fruits and vegetables and cook them their money, they can learn how to come them or how to rush on them. then bessalo, they're the 50 gather. it's
3:13 am
a spring board to future job opportunities. catalina morales move from honduras to spain, hoping for a better future. 4 years she struggled. the job here is a lifeline. me day about about and her team helped to obtain the work permits she never had before. now she has a steady income. when we meet on that with an immigrant, you don't have a lot of opportunities to work. you either work on an hourly basis without a contract and they don't pay you the same. or you just take any job whatever comes out without documents. it's all very complicated, not only for me, but also for my daughter, but i almost gave up and went back to honduras. city miss plan is assign mountain to death. in the past few years, around 50 people found a job here. financing is generated for the sales of the preserves and state funding for media about about needs more soon. she wants to expand the amazon more. they
3:14 am
know they embrace us. yeah, we created a social business model that has 3 ames so here let's get the reduction of food loss mainly of vegetables and fruits. this kelly meant the right to healthy nutrition for every one, but especially for those and a vulnerable situation. but, but i pull that off before and we also wanted to offer job opportunities for these people out in it out of what me i would i left, but that was one that was put in what promoting this projects as a model that can work. not only on a national scale, but also internationally that did wonder because in every city there are these 3 necessity as it, which are the reason we exist at the, on an existence that depends on plenty of helping hands. the people here are happy to be contributing to a circular economy and social justice was thrown, had people in the long run with our goal is to disappear galia. but that would only happen if the problem of food loss and the other social challenges we face were sort of that was so that might be a bit utopian. he annoyed the galenas of barcelona, are likely to have their work cut out for. he is to come because there are still
3:15 am
plenty of fields with an abundance to share. sign to see the global food system is harling the planet towards the climate disaster. not least because it's responsible for the thought of on greenhouse gas emissions. capital and other livestock produced the same amount of carbon emissions as the combined output of all the world's vehicles, trends, ships, and airplanes. many people have quit meet with the aim of reducing their individual footprint. but as a reporter discovered, dairy products have similar effects on the environment. though, there may be followed pleasing alternatives to make cheese, you need milk and to make milk, you need animals, the emit loads of greenhouse gas emissions and use lots and lots of water. i mean, i really love chase, but we need to talk about it. how hard is this piece really on the environment 20
3:16 am
to stop eating, cheese and how the alternatives any better. and the best way to find out make some cheese yourself cheese makers, paul, and you'll have agreed to let me look over their shoulder for the day. paul used to work for large scale dairy operations, but gave it up to create his own cheese. and here comes the milk, we just need a couple of minutes for about 250 leaders. how many liters do you actually need to make one kilogram take out? that depends on the chaise recipe. so it will spend from the composition of the mill where quite lucky here we are working with milk from a jesse cares. these cares produce no good, very high solids. the amount of mill that is use is actually extremely important because depending on which study you're looking at between 80 and 95 percent of she's as greenhouse gas emissions come from the milk. so the more milky
3:17 am
use the worse for the planet. more than half of those emissions come from the farming process, because cows and other mil producing animals fart and breathe out methane gas, that is $84.00 times more potent than c o. 2 at heating the planet, but milk from different kind of animals have different carbon footprints, cow and buffalo milk have the lowest with 2.8 and 3.4 kilograms of c o 2 per kilogram of milk. goat and she milked. impact is more than double of that with $5.00 and $8.00. point 4 kilograms of c. o 2 o mega animal. it's pollute the planet. less per kilogram of milk. that's because cows or buffaloes just produce more milk than a good of shape, for example. and because all these animals are ruminants and pump out methane, jesus covered footprint is actually bigger than that of poultry and even pork,
3:18 am
more emissions than meat that is absolutely insane. but anyway, now that we've got the milk, we need to heat it up and at some bacteria, the go to date turning this into a dummy sock sheet. what we're starting here is a process called fermentation. the bacteria feast on the sugar that in the milk and break it down. after a while, we add a liquid called rennet. this is what turns our concoction into cheese as it restructures the case in in it a protein that can only be found in animals melt. and yes, it really works. our milk is suddenly solid. oh. just for me to cut it into pieces again. and so neil realised that 200 leaders of more can quite screw. now we have to work quickly. the current needs to go into these molds while it's still warm and be flipped after a couple of minutes. after another 2 or 3 hours, all of these molds go into the ripening room. a cheese makers, treasure chamber,
3:19 am
the processing accounts for between 2 to 18 percent of cheeses, final c o 2 emissions. but of course, the longer you need to keep it at a certain temperature and humidity for it to become really tasty. the more energy it uses. new day, another cheese maker, but to day we are producing the vague in our tentative and here, cashier's are the main ingredient. yes, that's the wonderful thing about cassia. we can make a nice mill from them if we soaked them clean them and crush them. yeah, this produces a smooth milk that can be processed into cheese alternatives. the way animal milk would be for normal cheese production, either for arbiter to that and con. and after i've ground down, all these cashews bacteria cultures will be added to start the fermentation process . just like you would when making cheese from animal milk, they're all thought of ingredient forces alternative. su helman. oh boy. and he will olive oil abundance of the
3:20 am
progress. quite hard to calculate the greenhouse gases, water and land figures, alternative vegan cheeses are fairly new. so there aren't a lot of studies on there and by mental impact yet, which is why we can only compare what it takes to grow the most popular ingredients, cashews almonds and the new kid on the block codes. the dutch national institute for public health and the environment compare different environmental impacts. other studies claim different impacts, but for easy comparison, i'm sticking to this one. making cheese emits way more c o 2 than v can alternatives. once the bacteria have started their work during the fermentation process, the herbs and spices are added to this version is what the company called chuck calico to become as delicious as possible. it goes through
3:21 am
a similar ripening process as real cheese, where the bacteria continue their work. looking at the science though, it takes quite a lot of water to grow cashews. the dutch study found water consumption to be as high as 2000 liters per kilogram of cashews. but it's not just the number that's important. the impact depends a lot on the region. whether cash use are ground. does it rain a lot or is it a waters cast region, for example, in vietnam? cashews, i'm mainly grown in areas with relatively little of water stress, but the opposite is generally true for brazil or booking a fossil. alrighty. and now i'm really curious how that is going to taste oh yeah, it has use mild and taste a lot of herbs. the consistency is actually pretty similar to cream cheese.
3:22 am
what was the herbs and stuff as really read? all right, all right. all right. that was pretty good even for cheese love a, but if you want to go full out on saving the planet, go for owed based options, but they are just starting to hit the supermarket shelves. now, real cheese will always be my number one, but i'll try to switch it up with some tasty alternatives. so if we can beat me to or dairy, what can we eat to save the climate and ensure food security bugs may be answered by in the us all over the world are developing sustainable products made out of the larvae of black soldier flies in germany. it seems there's just one sticking point standing in the way of its success, the red tape of bureaucracy. it could be so easy. breeding harmless little flies to lay eggs which turned into maggots with
3:23 am
a voracious appetite for food waste. and the larvae can be turned into tasty, high protein. burger's good for the climate and the environment, though it's not quite that straightforward yet. but 1st things 1st. welcome to the love shack of the black soldier, fly, a creature by the name her meteor. in lupin's heinrich cat is a superstar among fly farmers. he'd love to expand his farm and be part of the insect protein revolution. and the larvae are up to the job. they have a racial appetite and gobble up everything from food waste to animal excrement, and true latin fashion. their body weight increase of 6000 fault and just 3 weeks. the problem is in you regulations forbid the farmer from feeding them food waste when from us? no, yes, mark. if you're a pioneer doing something new or you're going to really enjoy what you're do and be
3:24 am
enthusiastic about it. but often you do bump into challenges, especially in the case of disruptive innovation, as you might find yourself facing regulatory hurdles. avi cleansing, the e you is concerned about the sanitary conditions of the larvae which live in their own feed and theses in 6 live in their feet. they live in their own feet. so you have to make sure that there is no risk of contamination between the feet, which they live and the insect protein, which is the final product at which would be consumed. this is why they're currently fed on pink feed, but they all dish this up here is o kara, which is great for our young larvae. acora is a byproduct of tow for production for yesterday. this isn't this. but there are more efficient solutions available, like in kenya were highly con, says also set up a fly farm with indoor plumbing,
3:25 am
a rarity in many poorer districts. a startup has set a portable lavatories and selected places. the excrement is later collected and mixed with food waste a blend that's perfectly suited to the black soldier, fly larvae villarreal from van dungy, while the larvae are then fed to pigs and chickens life. we've had this system up and running for a couple of years now. with 0 problems and no cases of animals getting sick, i didn't give off his michelle tom despite its concerns. the you says it wants to promote larvae farming, which could be a sustainable source of protein and a meat substitute. nearly 100 percent of the maggots can be consumed, either by livestock or humans. there is far less waste than when pigs chickens or cows are on the dinner plate. plants the maggots shells can be used as a fertilizer or for making cosmetic products and even medication. you know that
3:26 am
you've been, has adopted an action plan for a circular economy. and we have adopted the for the farm to, for strategy where we want to develop resilient and sustainable food supply chains. and one of the things which are being assessed there is whether you feed substrates for insects focused on former food. could be considered as a source or future before waste can be used this way. the e wants proof that as a safe product as its own sklar that we know that we need to deliver empirical evidence that it safely hundreds and passes. we can feel, but the e u is basically making that impossible because they won't grant us an exemption. nomic naming your greek so we're being asked to provide evidence while being denied the means to do so. it was the community college game. we can only hope that will be granted exemptions at the local level, and that the you doesn't put a spanner in the works. you can use
3:27 am
a college for now. i know chances ground fly larvae can only be fan to dogs and fish, but it all goes well. larvae could be the next big thing in the food industry. for has cultural, religious, and so side to live pla, stand on it. and it may not be possible for all of us to make the switch to sustainable alternatives immediately. but the solution to every problem starts with an acknowledgement and acknowledgement from each one of us. that the way we produce food to leave is broken. change begins here. think about that and i'll see you again next week. good bye. and thanks for watching. ah, with
