is, are growing that a prolong conflict could spread to the broader region. it has suffered multiple conflict in the past decade and climate change has left its deadly mark as well. with severe drought and one of the world's worst food insecurity crisis. as the country moves deeper into crisis, sudanese people are abroad or calling for international action to end the violence that said show up to date spread. gosh, will have more world news at the top of the hour next on the w close up at taking a look at alternative to palm oil in order to safeguard the rain forest. good day. on the green and then you feel worried about the planet to i'm the of host of the on the green fence podcast and to me it's clear remains to change. join me for deep dive into the green transformation for me, for you,

for the plan. for the oil palm is treasured by some for its high yield and easy cultivation. it's fruit is the source of one of the world's most important raw materials. but the palm oil boom comes as a cost. mano cultures destroy nature. the consequences for bio diversity in the climate of devastating the gruesome dissolution can't be deforestation. palm oil can be found in countless products and super buckets. it's cheap and easy to process. it's commonly used and baked goods to the satellite. it's everywhere and it's hidden. monte destiny all around the world. people are rethinking the production of palm oil. it's much to fill in for, um,

i'd like to hand over a world to future generations that's worth living in on. and it biotechnology helps achieve that. then i'll use it to that, and it self image recognize that it's 6 am, and ludovico job law has been mixing and needing dough for hours already. the artisan baker honed his craft and france and germany. his bakery doubles as a laboratory. here he invents new and original treats, such as his trademark, forget made with algae, the al, get the sophistic this. it's important that people note, this is a natural product for him is making something like this. uh huh. which simple ingredients makes me happy. ah,

ah, me, and over the past 12 years, he's been making a lot of customers happy. here in the village of morning, outside unit, jab walls, unconventional concoctions and use of regional ingredients have won the hearts and pallets of locals, his alligators, a big hit. mama, i live, but we've tasted everything whenever there's been something new, we've tried it as one should with me are gay. nevertheless, at the end of every days a while is faced with a problem. familiar to many vegas piles and piles of unsold left over bread. some of it can be used as bread crumbs mixed into doze, throwing out the bread as a last resort, due largely to the financial component. both the ingredients and the energy costs were baking or expensive. germany's food and agriculture ministry estimates the nation's bakeries produce more than $600000.00 tons of surplus bait goods per year

. packed on to a column of trucks bumper to bumper, they'd cover the distance from frankfurt to munich, and there is another issue that bothers ludovico job, while the use of palm oil and pastries and cream fillings. is tanked as yeah, we probably need 10 kilos of palm oil per week, then it's everywhere. and at sydney or you don't realize all the products that insect muncie destiny stuff. this is new product. it's time to grind up the stale bread and thomas pluck has come to help. he's a professor of biotechnology who has spent years working on creating an alternative to palm oil. and he might well have found a solution that addresses both of jab, wiles, predicaments. his idea is to turn left over bread into cooking oil, on the line toaster. the ellen are on the on monday we met because my daughter and his daughter attend the same school as graceful as an artist and vaguer becca

ludowici. always faced certain challenge. little we got to talking one time and he asked me if i had any innovative new ideas for his bakery. sheer, an innovative anoint. i gave it some thought in latin, and mentioned our new yeast oil performance to show that it was a heifer castle. he said he used a lot of palm oil for bay k issue pioneer, and that while there were alternatives 2nd, most of them were very expensive. i was it and didn't deliver the results he wanted . in the last, on the scanner heter stop showed us king, my professors resourceful idea was to turn the final ground bread into cooking oil harvested in the lab rather than the field elicits mc. i'll take this with me in a week and a half from now bring back the product and a lot of them. okay. finish over of our euro. every morning on the island of borneo in indonesia, a man goes, i li ventures into the jungle to bring breakfast to rescue durango hands. the

animals have suffered amid the palm oil boom. they faced displacement and poaching . but here at sambo, charlie's tarry an animal rescue center. they have a safe refuge. only in a wrangled hands are an endangered species. they need an intact rain forest to survive. but all around the sanctuary, the habitat is being destroyed. the what is a was in the we are grateful for this play home, but we have a duty to conserve the forest for the future on the law. so that not just the rang attends, but also our children can continue to live here. these baby around good hands were luckily rescued and time discovered in the jungle with no parents unable to fend for themselves. they now have human guardians. once they're old enough, they'll be released back into the wild. ruby is having trouble

adjusting. she's now 2 years old, but still physically weak and scared of humans. so when mom goes ali always approaches carefully and with a mass to reduce the risk of transmitting infections to the animals. ok, and then how it into letting a call when we found her on an oil home plantation allow a she likely fell victim to land clearing on by in the w. and so she was still very small when we came across her. i think you orangutan mothers don't normally leave their babies on their own. so we think her mother must have been killed caesar. ruby's plight as one shared by many other animals. experts estimate that the orangutan population on borneo now numbers only a few, 10000 having plunged by 3 quarters since 1950. in that same

period, borneo lost over half of its forested area. the rank hands natural habitat here. the culprits logging mining and the rapid expansion of oil palm plantations. these alarming developments were a wake up call for the last re latimer party. although her oil palm plantation is small, she wants to make a big difference. today she's talking to other local farmers about the devastating impact of deforestation in organ. bye bye. we're happy as you've seen an orangutan before and her in a lab earlier, a protected species, the if you see one, please don't heard or should it, did them hunting them is not permitted a about by react vieza on by her audience here in kong. bang. as learning how to manage their plantations more sustainably, the last 3 years, effectively, the quality assurance manager for this cooperative enough of the groups common goal,

is to obtain the r s p o certification. now, i know that it's only wooded by the round table on sustainable palm oil for meeting sustainable environmental and social standards. recipients need to have a proven commitment to a range of principals, including no failing of primeval forests, minimizing their use of chemical pesticides, and fertilizers, and no slash newburn agriculture. that, that, that i am a small holder to go and tells to last year about the common practices here. we're gonna bang and i, but oftentimes the soil is sprayed with weed killers in order to contain overgrown grass. but those toxic chemicals come with consequences. local farmers did not expect them. buckner had thought, while a betty the oil palms, dod producing fruit to the hunger. lucille, i give you the idea of how the deeper haunt, the branches were broken early. but i,

the hands are and we could see that the trunks became really hard on the inside, then sat broadening its all. but i knew that us all of it with the reduced harvest, came a reduced profit and the realization that something had to change. as a result, farmers here are working toward more sustainability and earning arist pio certification means the prospect of increasing their income and other worthwhile reason. and the trees can provide for more than just oil marco's montage curve on guy from clowers seizing this potential. oh, it's no to follow. it feels great and sure enough for the lovely product with a nice color or men are really fresh smell. with the product earning his praises a new raw material made from waste. lou thailand as the world's

3rd biggest producer of palm oil, but every harvest also generates huge quantities of empty fruit bunches, traditionally seen as waste and disposed of accordingly. but that surplus material from palm oil production is precisely what interests the german businessman. his company recycles the fibrous fruit, hust, turning them into the raw material for a new type of packaging material. he and a team of experts spent a long time devising the complex production process, with a lot of trial and error. it took 12 years to set up a production chain that was both sustainable and economically viable. guys from cloud found the ideal partner in the tie, eastern pulp and paper company. it was while reading an article about paper shortages that he had the idea of creating a raw material from oil, palm waist alice fuzzy online, co, everything you buy online needs packaging been bought. but where did the raw

materials come from? that was our starting point thus far. there ans, us or mid river gone home. here the plant waste is further processed. the empty fruit bunches are loaded onto especially developed conveyor washer. next the fiber bundles a further separated the individual plant fibers provide the basis for the new commodity, their hollow light and easy to reprocess in a process lasting several hours. they are boiled than washed again and separated again until all that remains is a soft plant pulp. and after a 22 hour drying process, the result is a crumbly material. other companies then use the product to make paper and called, or products that are, will to prove principle and come possible

well done. the guns, hulu. this is at the sophisticated and alcohol in japan. they have very high standards when it comes to packaging as was introduced yourself, i'm proud that our material is being used there for high quality packaging like this. it's not an album of severe. we've developed a material that works and that's great motion on his function yet was washer. it's a win win situation. the oil palm waste is put to good use and it's a source of income for local fog. a key ally in the ideas development was an entrepreneurial family and thailand, selena cook canoe to porn has already won a major award for sustainable management. what we are doing with them is the market and this project is them help as to cree, if there are sustainable values. shane from my in businesses and to make the farmer i can ah,

earn more and generate more income. our business, this one is the also to bring the sustainable intuitive power industry in thailand . views receive lots of support because thailand wants to be at the forefront or sustainable agriculture. there are plans to build several more factories to produce the new raw material client cloud and has partners grant licenses for the innovative technology, only to sustainable palm oil producers. ok. and gratian clowers, continually perfecting the production process, which inevitably involves troubleshooting issues with new machinery. every docking the armstrong, we thought we were done on monopoly ignition, but we still have to make further improvements. does photons, it will probably cost us to working days. yes, this good on this is also the issue of employee safety. i need solutions that have no loose ends. there goes on

meanwhile, and the technical university of unit thomas book is investigating where the leftover bread can become a genuine substitute for palm oil supply . that one's pretty good. this one is a lot of amish live, little hill, returning organic waste into cooking oil is an idea that the researchers here have been working on for over 7 years. now. doctor mahmud missouri is a constant source of ideas. the principle is the same as with fermentation using ease to bring about a chemical conversion. just like with brewing. beer, violet, not foolish. board read is a fantastic raw material because it dissolves so easily. when i mentioned it, we, humans can dissolve starch and proteins for food and pissed off than microorganisms . definitely coil running off to the left over bread has been ground into powder,

special enzymes are added to break it down into sugar and other compounds. next yeast cultures are introduced to feed on the sugar and form an oil inside the cells . the oil is extracted sent to the bakery and use to bake bread. a prime example of a circular economy. but there's not much oil here. it's only day, one of that it is what there is that drop of oil. oh, through silicon for m, i would he found the black vesicles magazines on concerning, but let sale of a muslim act as the other. and it's also unusual that they're all in the division based often given we subjected the cells to especially stressful conditions, angelina, they don't look very healthy and it's, and we've seen them in better condition before on, because then he isn't on visa. these are the oil droplets inside the cell, not fly in 2 days later on. so they have a 90 percent saturation and also exactly the right point to harpist them.

candidates, hyperbola donahoe, harvest in this case means to solving and extracting the oil and rich cells to produce cooking oil. in 3 days, the team can produce up to 70 liters, and it's very thick. the palm oil substitute now goes back to baker ludovico jaguar. yeah, he's going to try baking with the oil that was produced from his stale bread. and it's very curious to see how the results will taste. so law st. ultima, what he has been up since to a n. she has a lot to do before heading out to the plantation. she takes care of her 4 children . her income goes towards feeding her family. palm oil is an integral part of people's lives in this area in big and small ways

and valley. oh, of course the palm oil is really important for us by rep and then it has a positive impact on our society, myself included. and my share that that was 5 years for be it or it helps our economy laid them long bundle for economy. and that was also how sealed envelope of the products like this cooking oil. one book got a really useful in our daily lives. scorely really fell on this. i did the idea and if it were gone or fall, i can't imagine how we would make do without a re manambra. hotline. teresa owns her, the equivalent of $200.00 euros a month. while the cost of living is relatively low and indonesia, that's only just enough for her to make ends meet. so last tree is aware of the problems that the plantations cause for both humans and nature. but the oil is central to many people's livelihoods. there is no real alternative to the

controversial plant. soybean farming, for example, would require a far higher number of plants and a lot more land producing one ton of palm oil requires just over a quarter of a hector. but it takes to hector's to produce a ton of soybean oil. that's almost 8 times as much space. but there is a way forward sustainable farming practices on the land already in use without the need to clear more rain forest. among the people pushing for this change as our day k art, he works as a project leader for germany's main development agency g. i said he's working to help local producers meet arist pio standards. oh, so as there are so before, but i mean that everything perfect as you can see here, right above we have this process certification process not the on the

o. oh. helped them to getting beer but also connect them with other are small hoarders. ah. with the same objective so they can talk, it's either they can, they can learn or it's other, at least this is the best way. it's not perfect. i understand, but that's the best way that we can see at the moment. our s p o certification does not mean a green eco label. what it does is ensure small but important adjustments to the system. it's also a way to motivate people on the ground to voluntarily do more for conservation. today's the last 3 years getting insights from my noon. another small holder from a nearby co operative the mother of 8 is eager to under certification and hopefully increase her income on the death of her husband. a year ago means that she is dependent on her oil part to support her family,

chemical fertilizers or pesticides aunt in her budget via via the ethan income ethan media. scholars. i asked amy mando looked at a used to grow vegetables and res lifestyle in these aiden, and that's when i started using only organic fertilizers. yet that i do know when my animals didn't produce enough about some extra gold manure, for example, the and all that. so my mic us up is i will let them into will be i don't really use any chemicals. so i'm being a little thunder my mother and before gimme i'm a mother. look around the cows grazing under her oil, palms keep the grass and weeds short in addition to providing milk and natural, 0 cost fertilizer. so last read off my water in my you noon are among the 5000000 small holders world wide who are dependent on the palm oil industry. together this group of farmers produces almost 40 percent of the global output. marty noon used

to make a living from vegetables, cocoa, plants, and livestock, but she didn't earn enough. so she turned to the more profitable palm oil production. as a gardener, she knows a variety of ways to save money, such as producing her own plant fertilizer, from whatever ends up at the compost. and she has a special trick, brown sugar, and im, it activates the bacteria and accelerates the process. our fertilizer is produced at low cost and with no chemicals, a sustainable and affordable solution. so last 3 is impressed and will be introducing the idea to her co, operative the hope is that the small holders will finally be able to get our s p o certification. just a few days later, the last 3 has come to the co operatives office to compile the work schedules for the coming week. she's now received the long awaited news that all the hard work of the last 2 years has paid off. the group was granted arist vios certification, and welcome from berlin. yeah,

it wasn't easy for the farmers to understand everything company, but then we had to explain the programs every day and tell them what they need to do and what this will mean for them in the future. but we showed that getting the certification is possible. i thought i had difficult as fail. what's the last 3 and her co operative do with that endorsement, will also have an impact on the future of the rain forest. over in thailand, mark was my tosca truncation cloud and his team have worked tirelessly to get the new machine operational. they ended up making and welding on brackets for the pressure pipes. with food not is it still needs insulation. it keeps up quite a bit. so next comes full insulation. what then will be back to 20 hours a day operation park refill. and just in time, there's considerable interest in his raw material. so he needs everything running smoothly. ah,

with the growing bars in southeast asia, the factory in thailand has a steady stream of high profile visitors among them as the country's biggest producer of disposable paper towels. the owners here and person to day, accompanied by 20 of his most senior managers and engineers. the company promptly signs a contract to buy the material and bulk together with irrelevant licenses. the many years of work are really paying off the she asked if you are happy, i years what i see her every now and what we're doing here in the eyes of customers and in the eyes on the world. i think the beginning is on the end of a plus, we're making a change for the better i guess with, you know, making money is one thing, but then doing it in a way that brings real benefits, including for people who don't have anything to do with the paper,

the forests are preserved, it feels great. cool. if you were off to creating a raw material for the future. the next step for guy from chloe, his partners is to expand into other countries. and there are already interested parties. normal opinion at all, back in germany. baker ludovico jaguar and his daughter are experimenting with the new oil. yeah, well as it does with amazon, the last few months have been full of change for jaguar. a shortage of qualified staff meant he had closed down his bakery. he's pivoted to working as a product developer and test baker. 13 year old mom, dean shares, her father's passion for innovative baking with both the new yeast oil and the super food al. again, definitely as all it tease life slightly nutty. but not like to see in sol touch

it tastes really good. ah, and the lab produced oil works nicely in the pastry cream. it's easy to incorporate and tastes good. i so come and fill so much pdf. you could use it for a gush, or a glaze for all kinds of bread products, destiny men like rosa and pretzels bag and even loaves of bread tooth, and no bread sale. and the knowing what even to anaheim, to him in concert could use it for any kind of dough normally made with butter on them are thus, listen, i'm on diem has a create of st herself and is fascinated by new ideas. like the yeast oil. she's even designed a t shirt illustrating the entire cycle, saving the rain forest and a wrangler hands with the help of some smart solutions. and a lot of left over bread caps might as well. i drew the picture. there's

a baker done and this illustration shows that nothing gets thrown away. but what does this and if you think about it, and it's a good alternative and could really make a difference contest, russ working. no, it was. and that we need to transform the whole system and we need a better world for her children to happen on that bit by bit. we can change things because i can't go on like this phenomenon versus get this writer. these oil passed the tests conducted by the office in baker, and is in no way inferior to palm oil. professor thomas lucas, eager to spread the idea and pays a visit to pastry, chef alfred dos, ludovico, there was also there to provide practical tips. oh, hello. for another, like most bakeries, doors has a loss of leftovers come closing time. yeah. and how about a more sustainable set up instead of throwing out all that expensive bread to look

up from the yeast oil could offer an hannah says v t boned the sag with thing. soonest of em fog. i should sue. in fact, we're now cheaper compared to conventional vegetable oils, legal and his take tom oil cur, $1500.00 euros per ton. oh, the toner right now. our price is probably $1000.00 euros. hold on a moment. i'll smith duncan. it basically tastes like regular fat momos for dental without any after taste. it's just, there's no way that i would have done it myself had the idea occurred to me, a feeding surplus spread back into the cycle is not just good business for local bakeries. major chains generate food waste on a massive scale and have now also discovered the savings potential by firm they were also talking to large industrial bakeries with 6080 or a 100 tons of left over line. the done,

they get returned deliveries from numerous supermarkets doesn't been oh gosh, play issue. and it doesn't stop there. he's also had interest from food retainers across europe. the new cooking, oil fashioned from leftover bread could be a viable alternative to palm oil. and in the process helped to conserve all rain forests. with awe. with secrets lie behind these walls, discover new adventures in 360 degrees. and explore fascinating world heritage sites. d w world heritage 360. get the app now.
