these social problems, by building their own private paradise. the idyllic caribbean island of rotan owns a palm fringe beaches, announcing an experiment. just off this dusty road. at the entrance, a banner reeds we believe in private property. a charter city for him by investors is being built. his auspiciously called prosper. this will be the islands tallest building says eric pits a carless. normally, a building on rather time can have a maximum of 8 floors. this will have 14, yes, we offices will have a view of the ocean. different rules apply because the city is self governed pits. a carless, a property developer thinks this is great. it makes it easier to work fast, affordably and efficiently. oliver perform on for us. on grania prospered, our promises all sorts of opportunities for honduran business people. it's a safe place where we can live, where progress has possibly broken his head of

b realty either federal yup. so honduras struggles with crime poverty and corruption, but not prosper. the honduran flag flies, but the city state runs autonomously from the national government. it's called as that e d. e, a zone for employment and economic development. and invest is utopia with low taxes and govern, not by politicians, but by a board of business. people who aren't democratically elected. critics challenge the cities legitimacy, but it's lawyers, site agreements made with a previous government is to see us in the lord us followed that it would still honduras sannicolas is brought borneo, the government gave us permission to administrative territory by the letters. the more can also that we are at liberty to create our own laws in our own interests, yon garcia immediately but are their interests also other people's obama integrity caliber. fernando garcia is combing through thousands of pages of legal

documents so posted will up. the current government has touched him with putting an end to the prosper project. a congress lore approved in 2013, paved the way for prosper. garcia argues it was unconstitutional. seeing the figure lacquered as yonder, it amounts to the creation of a state within a state and they want toward law autonomy of their own jurisdiction. their own executive. you will educational and health system because she their own police and urban planning system bundle for now this little to see just a few employees in the kitchens and on construction sites. the homes are still empty. but the prosper, the project has already begun approving residence, including tech workers, entrepreneurs, investors and banks, attracting them with low taxes, flexible regulations, and bitcoin of legal tender. it c o is eric bryan, a u. s. venezuela. and in a rare interview, he denied being a radical libertarian. the prosper, if not

a tax haven. our mission is to create prosperity where it is needed most is not about making switzerland richer or germany richer. so the spillover effects are not limited by, by, by the prost presented jurisdiction, it is spilled over into the rest of the economy. prime and the leaves. the project has a promise of success, of job creation and yielding profit that he claims will benefit every one. and yes, expansion is possible for i'm in says other areas in honduras could join the project. but in the nearby village of crawfish, rock, people are worried. council leader, louisa conner, says locals, fear they'll be squeezed out on can sell by name of his city will grow like had shima biase. i'm afraid of being expropriated. this is the neighboring village, will be the 1st to lose. what will have a fear look, look of him?

corner doesn't believe the project will create jobs instead just employing cheap labor in what critics call crypto colonialism. but bryant rejects the criticisms, go back, perceptions of fear, many of them, legitimate fears. ok, perhaps of historical ah sins. but there is a disconnect between the fears and the perception and the reality of prosperous era . but critics say honduras is being sold off outside congress activists urge parliament to put the brakes on the prosper a project. the government might still repeal the controversial nor passed in 2013 that allowed the city to go ahead. christopher castillo says prosper is exploiting social and economic problems in honduras. lab, annex young any will been been through prosper, could only heartily because we were in an economic crisis, a country and good. she would never approve such a project. so let me go look when it could be got been there before. what i mean is

that we were fernando garcia, knows better than most just how non transparent process, but it is in its dealings and look around. he thinks radical libertarians are deliberately undermining democracy in honduras. oh dear. no. it was a government, a party that allowed it to happen, amenities and caved into the interests of radical liberal groupings. alana his he the who needed a blueprint for their model of a private charter saddle. they will not do that. the law but prosperous found his remain undeterred. they insist everything has been done by the book and people have nothing to fear. politics is a legitimate way to change course and direction. but part of the system must be to honor contracts and agreements that were legitimately entered into the legal team that the government could face damages if it were neg on agreements. the 1st

residents will seemed in moving in including start up founder nicholas and thing from germany. got this mark was as it in fact, i think the advantage of markets is that they're more open to changes that makes it easier to bring about change of again, i was in general, i believe the democratic decisions have their place on their an important mechanism that in preventing dictatorships does fit kind of little trouble. could entrepreneurs be fair leader? or does that undermine democracy? the crypto, libertarian city experiment in honduras might provide answers. in worldwide, people keep more than 35000000000 chickens ducks and geese 2700000000 cows and pigs. and 2400000000 sheep and goats. ready the appetite for mate is growing. global consumption has more than quadrupled since the early 1960 s at the cost of the environment in animal farming and feed production

require lots of land, which leads to the destruction of natural habitats like tropical rain forests. keeping livestock uses up lots of water and contaminated from the newer and pesticides. plus there's the emission of greenhouse gases like c o 2 or methane, mainly from cows and sheep. but is there a way to make animals more eco friendly? in new zealand, scientists are trying to do just that. these sheep are belching and breaking wind in the name of science. today they have to spend an hour in the test chambers at the inver cargo research farm. the idea is to find out which animals are the biggest stinkers and which have comparatively fresh brain. around 90 percent of methane gas and grazing animals actually comes from their mouths, not from their behinds. explain scientists, suzanne rome. so i'm taking

a sample of her breath in a volume of her, and i'm using that to gauge how much maintenance in her units of her compared to all of her contemporaries. and i can use that to rank animals individual because some animals ultimate that be slightly differently, and they give us a lot more than than others. so what we're looking for those low low in mrs. low methane mrs. elaine's it had for breeding. the scientist has been on this stinky mission for the past 11 years. 3 generations on her herd now excels 13 percent less methane gas than at the start of the experiment. methane we can make a difference. we can make a difference quickly if we lower the amount of me thing in the environment. we can very quickly have an impact was if we lower the amount of commonly on selling the environment. we're having a massive impact in the long term. the short term impact what we won't see as much so it's a real opportunity for, for the livestock industry to make

a real death about an hour away from the research firm. we meet leon black, a 4th generation sheet, fire park. but he is one of the 1st to put the sciences theory into practice. he breathes she with better break it was important for him to cut their methane emissions, but also to maintain high yields of me. and wool the heart was always that if you had are more efficient ruminant more. hm. good. that put 30 energy and for things like hair mo, more, whoa more, mo, i'm and that looks to be the case. so we're selecting animals that utilize freed better. don't put out miss higher arm and more and to drive her. it's corner like the win win, win win. situations like this are urgently needed in the land of sheep zealand. what has determined to become climate neutral by 2050 your color?

that is why the government is investing millions and new technologies for agriculture, such as here on the palmerston north campus. neil wedlock has been working full 15 years on another promising project, a vaccine to curb me thank gas emissions in ruminants. so heavy work and for quite some back, some time, but we are making good progress. we've sony showing that you can vaccinate animals and they can produce antibodies against them. advantage insulin, the saliva. oh, we've done some studies show they produce enough antibodies to theoretically coat all. i'm a fan instance in the room and that x prime minister jacinta od. i didn't want to wait for the new anti burp injection and took on farmers over the issue of climate target for her ruling labor party, once methane emissions from cows and sheep to full buy up to 47 percent by 2015. that's why farm is may pay an emission tags from 2025

a world 1st. the proposal as it stands, main sealants farm as a seat to be the 1st in the world to reduce agricultural emissions. positioning, our biggest export market, the competitive advantage that brings in a world increasingly to sunni about the provenance of the firm. but not everyone is happy about the government's plan. many farm is, are worried about the extra costs and the end of agriculture. new zealand, most important expert industry back on the phone with leon black and he says the tax is unfair because even with his clean, low emission sheep, he would still have to pay mom. 7 many farmers would then be forced to reduce the size of their herd. even though new zealand sheep farm is already among the most environmentally friendly in the world,

i believe is more going to be my but we're the limit us. what i know. i think it's really unrealistic for a government to say 40 or 50 percent. it's just magic very, very disappointed. i like science not drained the smell tests are over for another day at the research farm scientists. susanne ro can understand farmers concerns, but she also sees the potential in their super sheep. new zealand could become a global pioneer in sheep reading. we don't really know. hi, fall, we can go, we can, we know the, in the, in, in these flux we're going very quickly. but if we apply that sound to our normal breathing clock than we're seeing as sort of 2 to 3 percent drop per year. so we're

seeing a considerable difference and what already works for me. zealand. she will now be tested on other talks of grazing animals. making talbert slime at friendly is the best way of causing them me same emissions to we're working for a better climate to wind turbines and solar panels. hydro power and bio gas plants, clean energy the conserves precious resources. the international energy agency says renewables now make up 29 percent of global energy production, and soon they'll be the most important energy sources worldwide. one of them is biomass. that's compost manure a would. but is energy from organic waste? really green banana peels. not shells. and other left over foods can actually powered the device.

you're watching this on. it's called bio mass energy and left overs aren't the only source would plants even manure can be used to generate electricity or heat. were surrounded by bio mass which creates numerous opportunities. and unlike coal, this source of power can be re grown companies and governments around the world are ramping up investments. but at the moment, only around 4 percent of agricultural space is used for bio mass energy crops. how much potential does bio mass energy offer? let's start with how are trash becomes treasure? organic material 1st has to be converted into energy left over food crop, waste or maneuver. it's collected from restaurants or homes and then put into a processing plant to sort out other materials like plastic. the next step,

the bio reactor, it's where it bacteria eat up the waste in a so called digester, which is sealed off from oxygen. this process is called anaerobic digestion. the organic waste is fermented over several weeks at a temperature of about $55.00 degrees celsius. bio gas is produced, containing large quantities of methane, a powerful source for generating electricity and heat. once it's been fed into the gas grid. and it can also be used to power natural gas vehicles. the left over bio mass can then be used as composed for farming, for example, making the whole process circular, bio gas plants like this, exist all over the world. about 20000 in europe alone. estimate say bio methane, could cover up to 40 percent of the use gas demand by the middle of the century.

the u. s. has just $2200.00 and thailand, malaysia, and indonesia combined only have about the same bio gas plants produce only a quarter of the c o. 2 emissions that coal plants emit bio mass energy has one mortgage advantage over solar. and when in that it's on to me, so you don't care if the winds glowing, sun shining, all sounds good so far, but there is a catch bio methane can leak from these facilities and then has a bigger effect on global warming than c o 2 bio gas facilities are also only sustainable as long as waste is used rather than specially grown crops. what else can we use bio mass for fuel. ready to run cars, trucks or even planes,

an innovative flight last year saved 20 metric tons of c o 2 emissions jet fuel was mixed with used cooking oil for the route from paris to montreal. another biofuel is bio ethanol plant, such as corn or sugar cane are fermented and distilled bio ethanol can replace tests or vegetable oils like rape seat or soy with alcohol. as with ethanol, the bio diesel is then added to normal diesel fuel biofuels are used at gas stations worldwide. but according to the international energy agency, they only account for 3 percent of transport fuel demand. the problem with biofuels is that crops have to be specially grown and that steel space from food crops, or even to plates forests and bio diversity. ready like with palm oil trees and indonesia,

sugar cane in brazil and rapes seed and germany. ringback a study in germany found that using biofuels can help save 9200000 tons of the countries annual c o 2 emissions. but 16400000 tons could be stored if natural vegetation were allowed to return on crop fields. instead. the simplest means of generating bio mass. energy is our most ancient way burning it like would leaves or waste, ah, governments around the world are even using it as part of their carbon neutral strategies. and by bio mass, we need good old trees as what talents? over the past decade, the demand for them as an g source has steadily risen. the us is the biggest exporter with a market share of 62 percent. they're usually made from wood residues like sawdust

or wood ships, usually because think tanks and and g o s have gathered evidence that shows that natural forests and habitats in eastern europe and north america are being destroyed. to save the growing appetite form when pellets through illegal logging. policy makers in the u. s. e u and u. k. have classified woody bio mass as renewable, allowing governments to subsidize the production and burning of wood pellets. many countries don't have to report emissions from wood fired power plants because trees are seen as a renewable resource. producers are just required to reforest areas so that the c o 2 released while burning pellets is reabsorbed. no in the united states, sir, depending on what state you're in,

you plan to do for trees. for every one you've cut down the plant to for new but there are little tiny pine trees. researchers like kelly suggest that the immediate impact of substituting wood for coal is an increase in atmospheric c o. 2. a study found that depending on the type of forest it could take up to 10 years until newly planted trees absorb the same amount of carbon socked up by the ones that were cut down. old are trees and storm more carbon. so there are certain boris that are even more critical to combat climate change than others. unfortunately, these are some of the forests being loud down for bio mass energy. most forms of bio mass look at 1st glance to be better than they are burning wood to replace coal is not a solution because even if the wood comes from sustainable forestry or is would waste, it still produces emissions. what waste can however,

be digested by bacteria at a bio gas facility and organic products like that. banana peel power in your phone can help manage waste cycles. that does make sense. but to day bio mass energy covers only a small part of our world wide demand. it can work in combination with other renewables, but it's not scalable to be our main energy source, not even in the future. this week's global snack comes from the mold eaves in the indian ocean. ah, the mol deems is a country of more than a 1000 islands, spread over $26.00 articles. on one of them, la move. they serve up a very special snack. go ha, ria or fish, ball curry, his lamas signature dish. at the reveries diving village hotel. it's one of the

specialties on the menu. and because only people from lamar know how to make authentic goal that ria hotel manager abaz ibrahim shows how it's done to day. i'm here in our kitchen is to explain my chef to how to make it because he's not local. so, but i need him to learn this disk. so sometimes we serve this to our customers because it's very specific. this in lamar. first you prepare the fish, normally snapper, or group, or use a sharp knife to separate the flesh from the bones. the key ingredient is d v, however, do mo devion curry paste. so this one is the local curry, best homemade one. this is like a no, molly, a one day process. so each households in law mo, they have this paste in their home. so people, they're mach once in a month,

and they put it in a job so they can keep it for a long time to make cool how ria, paste, put a few spoonfuls of debbie hopper do some spices. curry leaves, garlic and onions in a blender. all the ingredients are locally grown then by and carefully combine the fish and curry paste and form the mixture into little balls. finally cook them in some pocono curry sauce. golden rios serve best with steamed rice and sal.

it's like who she may be like the way they are, they really make the bulls. and then once they leave, it didn't come up. it's like mouth that would be the consistency of a good. a good good area should be depending on the restaurant a portion of go, how ria prost, the equivalent of 9 to 13 euros. it's traditionally eaten following friday prayers and on special occasions beth, all from us at global $3000.00. thanks for watching. we'd love to hear what you thought about the show. so drop us a lie at global 3000 at d, w dot com, or visit our facebook page, d w global ideas. see you next time, bye bye. ah,
