the, the agriculture is a strong the, especially in developing countries where climate change is also and even intense. hello and welcome. i'm finally got somebody and you're all watching equal in depth . as a journalist, when i travelling across the country, one of the biggest problems and the most common problem that i see are the increasing struggles of farmers. and that's, that's what the declining in and yet that on or done it, is that to offer opportunity and hope to cope with an eval, wondering what then what i'll find out even in india as western states. omaha dasha is one of the most droughts preowned region in the country. it has also been an international headlines with a high number of pharmacies, sides that happen too. long dry spells are often a direct cause for economic distress. but for one community here, switching to a drought trans assistance, grew up, flood id has made all the difference. these concludes
4:03 am
phones. as i put 2 spots of light spun from a 900 metre long silk thread. the 2 precious they provide chief, a general potter with an income such a welcome new development. i'm gonna have to make no money with costs and today i'm only about a $100000.00 rupees a month to look. i know there was still some clerical fields, even more of the water. my roster is traditional customer grabbing region. but climate change is taking its toll with increasingly long periods of drought followed by heavy rains, which destroy the hobbies and threatened livelihood. as a result, this, the highest suicide rate among farm is in the last 6 months of 2022 desperation
4:04 am
lead more than a 1000 farm is in my roster to take their own lives. the village is really the hindi wood for cotton is also affected by climate change. in the past, everyone here made a living from cotton including she about 0 possible on his family. but the plans needed not to go to. that's one of the reasons why costs and production went into decline. apologize. we have to constantly spray the cutting currently the, besides an ottoman due to the soil test, it says that was uh, it was an endless cycle of spending on the crop with one of the highly owned anything from it sealed as well stuff. i also got, i pulled up that got caught up in 2018 drought to destroy the harvest for the village of really it was resolved at the time, tyler dodson, the valley had just been elected village chief. he's been hearing about the
4:05 am
potential of soak reduction. every culture in india is every culture is financially supported by a government scheme called them. again, the national real employment guarantee act launched in 2006. it helps distressed real communities in india by helping local secure a stable income. it provides farm is with nearly 85 percent of the investment needed to set up a so quantum, rearrange unit. how did us decided to take the gamble for you? it's all good. i would say we made a fight as a 1st goal, was to improve financial conditions, villages next to it. so because the high yield crop has got to monitor the value on the market. um, i mean it's a high demand tech style, monica, and secondly, it can be gram with very little most of what stood out as an agricultural experiment has transformed into a large scale silk finding operation. today, nearly 600 farm is from really of switched to serve you culture, your vehicle,
4:06 am
our legal. i started out with 2 silver eggs and from not they got 200 kilos of so good coons to explore your glove. when the farmer sold his product 482-0000 rupees, he couldn't believe it. he'd never made that kind of money from 10 acres of company bombing was for boy, just 2 acres. it's terry culture. he owned a lot of money for people. that's how it started, of the, sorry, co 10 model that really soon started to cut shown in the light region. a growing number of from is a now planting mowbray trees, which a catch very short to improve the harvest. that leaves provide food for the so when the movie trees the holiday, they grow for several years, i'm required much less school to fund makes them ideal for this drought stricken region. according to kind of coach experts seem a hanukkah, she works closely with the farmers in myra hosta. instead of capturing you con, kills best, as i told you,
4:07 am
i'm going to be renovations. so that is and when data because you know, so you learn more about is seeing there is out of the danger and then uh, in, in reading that doesn't, doesn't, does sheets of the city forms are audit, i guess a few bits and buttons and of the things i use, but not bit of people besides, because of in your diet and zip is sensitive. the villages run the reaming unit and really together as soon as the non, if i have hunched each farm, i receive the 100000. for the next 20 days, they feed the cats dependents with more readings, several times a day off the but the caterpillars thought spinning the precious silk thread around themselves to form a kick in. just a few days later, the king's office stating so that the soap markets with price is getting according to wait to many women and really are also employed in the business laptop way. now self sufficient and not dependent on others for money. even the men in the house,
4:08 am
respect to some of this, but it's definitely boosted up confidence as women. me. so i see you both now. but there's also a delicate side critics. a many children are employed in so production, well the cut it off, and since that's not the case, and really another criticism is that to obtain a single long thread for mccain, the love a mustn't be a to hunch. so the set to work is heat that the gains and will to, to kill the law of a symbol retrieve also need want to right now the form is that using precious groundwater but counted us and his team of set up several poems to collect raymore to how are you feeling you, if i'm going to is very important 5 most of the building the problem for or just using them as a storage to bone. the more about i'm starting to fall apart and then use it for the patient. it doesn't look at all, would recommend it because you have ground water is safe, which is in the or on the ground and it is safe from the sun. but if you're feeling
4:09 am
you're born by giving some catchment, i'm diverting that in. what the, what, what reading you are getting during the season with the bar. it is what it is, a good practice. the silk for movie has now made quite a name for itself. that's the, the pharmacy used to have to travel a long way to the market to sell that could choose which increased that costs so excited to get the going to good after one. yeah. what did that once quantity on quantity improve the how much we told the trade is that if you're interested in how supply does it, then come to our village and get yourself to walk in the community. so today those traders come here to biologists. and i say on the farm is don't have to travel anywhere to sell it. or the hospital all is a basically a problem or because i need to go to the pharmacy and really have also received financial support from the local authorities. banks as to reluctant to then to farm is. ready some of the villages have now achieved
4:10 am
a negative prosperity under their own cause or even a house. ready or somebody but just give me a minute, come get them. but the biggest, the chief, my based on the last 5 years. i mean we haven't had any farmers in the village can box. i saw it on me because of a lot of work. when you do go email, did you take myself off of the from the what i that's to think is the name of your subsidy sub somebody. me knew about the honey my held, illuminated the beeswax and my live bomb. when we can find the honey, these for all of this, and while the actually bad for the mileage because they compete with the white gloves, which is actually the species that house because of the odd biodiversity. if it was wisely in agriculture and honey, these can help boost the incomes or fall mazda and the productivity of the field. i'm back to naturally. nathan, saying is busy inspecting is because he's,
4:11 am
he's a specialist in environmental biotechnology. after researching chose will be diseases in germany, and it was really heated, done to his home, down of luck know in 2015 and the region needs him. why the numbers have been declining here for decades about that part of nation work. families have seen a significant drop in the heats to compensate live in think the lives of pollination silva as to farmers by renting out honey bees. well, i've got a disability at my job vp could be calling these already set up in places like movies and music fields and transport them to new fields to do migration process like 3 for 5 months golf production these 80 kilograms, then they can include the 200 kilograms, by book keeping on the market. so ok. let's look for nathan. think owns of housing cause these of the honey be a pest manufacturer? to collect mixed up in 6 livid up to $100.00 in a single ship and can make 20 trips in a single day. in the process,
4:12 am
they move calling from plant to plant aiding the pollination of flowers, vegetables and fruits. best thing good purpose here is to support the funds. unlike white bees that benefit funds as well as bio diversity. but both kinds of bees are generally in decline because of one main factor. so when we use besta size to kill the home for the best, we also can be useful to pass along with if in these because they directly feed on the plants, the directly go to the flaws they get the direct picked of the pesticides. so one of the major things is that and across the globe, many countries have realized that in the vandals best decides which home it's not just humphrey fun practices that are impacting bees. climate change has altered rebel buttons disrupting seasonal connections between these and flowers. the uncertainty of the blooming season has put these on the immense stress as national
4:13 am
statistics show in the last 25 years. india has lost more than 40 percent off. it's b stokes. this bomb was ease of tomatoes, chick bees and must have all suffered as a result regardless of how these fees are located, some 40 kilometers from loc, no, to the get by, let this lower heaters dry out unless it be comes along. if it sits on it, it gets more nutrients. my unit had gone down by 20 or 30 percent almost compared to our previous crops. this one is going right. all these flowers are doing well. this blonde is 4 months old and is still growing tanks with the honey bees. before i would run out of produce to harvest them 2 to 3 months. after loading of the threat, that best decides bows to honey on why these robinson had a switch to organic farming. because while beekeeping may help farmers via these head of the planet, the following it and dial 4 is the health keep other species of life and not in
4:14 am
desperate need of protection. find to see that everyone can help save bees. one of the very easy methods of re preservation is to increase the number of lady plans. so it's very easy for us to just approve the weeds and truly what we don't realize is that they are actually a source of funding for the bees. when the means of gosh, crops on all day. so these, uh, you know, they are kind of buffer and as a lawyer for the, we these, and we need, these are the, was in more numbers. so they're more likely to sustain the vagaries of nature. and they're more likely to try even as long as replace them become a very, very good source of commit to it and fall in for the funding. the display essential, drew in feeding, a growing population on maintaining bio diversity, which we really need to be has even come to represent the survival of the human species. and protection gives us and the bees,
4:15 am
our best shot foster son, the mentors of life, is essential for the creation of dna. and it is also a major component in commercial. fletcher license, the only problem is the us supply of phosphorus is not unlimited. i'm more than 2 thirds of the was it is all phosphate truck are located in a disputed conflict. storage region in africa is such a dicey scenario. our reporter has explored once the solution which is available to all of us, what's in our bones, dna and steve 8, the phosphorus. it's an essential element that sustains all life on earth. it's also in your p more on that later. but the vast majority of it goes into making fertilizer. why? because without it, we wouldn't be able to grow no food. the problem is that there's a finite amount and roughly 70 percent of that comes from just one place. the
4:16 am
bigger problem is that we're wasting most of what's already there. every individual is just throwing away it left the bread every day. for countries like india, which is 90 percent dependent on imports, dwindling access could be alarming. plus, phosphorus is also causing some massive l g issues. but if the world's fruit security depends on it, what can we do about the potential shortage? what alternatives do we have and cut them p save us. thanks to a german scientist boiling hundreds of gallons of urine in 1669. we saw on files for us, the 15th element, and the periodic table. fantastic. he was trying to find out how to make anyway, what his thoughts are. all organisms need fast, 10 essential nutrients and essential component of life. this is barbara came out and she's a renown soto scientists based in says, gosh one canada, that's how does our dna, it's hard as far as salvas concerned. us let that's,
4:17 am
it's part of our, our name today, roughly 80 percent of the world's phosphorus is used for agriculture because it's a structural component of cells. it's a central for cell division implant development. without enough of it plants or stunted and don't yield as much between increasingly using these chemical fertilizers on farms since the post world war 2 period. together with crop engineering, it's for the green revolution. the some massive increases in crop yields, especially in the global south and places like india and nice in 16, a less than the production was like, you had a movie, the media and things nasty or lovely next to production which step 3 hundreds of themed into sedation at the atari a, as a scientist of the indian institute of social science. and definitely they give this credit to fuck laser application because before it was there was no knowledge about that. worldwide, fertilizer use increased 6 times from 1950 to 2000. so where do we get all of it
4:18 am
from? stay answer that question. we 1st need to show you the world's longest conveyor belt system, which can be seen from space. it's transporting the raw material phosphate rock from the blue crown, lying across the western sahara desert. roughly 70 percent of the world's reserves are in the western sahara, heavily disputed territory currently controlled by morocco, which the u. n. sense has been unlawfully occupying the area. a rumble army has been fighting for its independence. the largest preserves are spread across north africa, followed by china presented south africa and saudi arabia. less than 20 percent of the phosphorus used in agriculture actually ends up in the food. that's partly because phosphate fertilizer is a tory sweet, inefficient it binds easily with other minerals and the soil which makes it unavailable for the cloud when they get 950 or fos for this apply. this is going to get down to 10 gigs from what people to notice what our body, but maybe 80 percent of that. when you get this, if you didn't inside,
4:19 am
that's why the industry solution is to just check more on the soil. faster suppress, relatively cheap, adding a bit as good as it marble guarantee profits. this accumulative, phosphorus is comm legacy phosphate, how much phosphorus is lost and the soil also depends on the cell to civic like and wait 5 minutes and it will bind to iron and aluminum to alkaline. it'll react in calcium. this has consequences. the use of chemical fertilizers increases to run off of nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus, and to bodies water. it leads to your transportation which comes of oxygen in the water. it also causes massive alco plans, which can be toxic and producers wondering nothing when they die. and it's not just the police from agriculture, and that's the ramping cost vs everywhere in our food or tap water. so if we consume a lot of phosphorus, then that means essentially what's coming out is the same. this is janice and i call she's a researcher at the swedish university of agricultural sciences and also sorta of
4:20 am
the company that turns urine and feces into fertilizer. one out of 10 people are like that of the amount of nutrients that are in urine is enough to grow a 500 grams of weight. so basically it means your urine. you can be grow, you can be producing a loaf of bread every day. she and her colleagues designed a system that essentially boils down or exclude and routines as nutrients. how to the urine diverting toilet. the solution is starting to gain traction in the west. but the upside is that it's particularly adoptable for places that don't have plumbing since it doesn't need water. unfortunately, household p is just a small fraction of all the nutritious waste on earth. there's also phosphorus and sludge and industrial waste water, not to mention the newer from livestock and dairy farming. what are the most scalable solutions is to figure out how to get all of it out and reuse it right now . so treatment plans, it's to get the water cleaner,
4:21 am
get it. we're not looking at it as a extracting resource or, and i think he was mine and these are 6. but why not? the industry is still figuring out how to improve existing technology is to make large scale removal economically viable. there's also been advancements and the methods of extracting phosphorus from animal maneuver. there's no shortage of technologies. it's just right now, it's still more cost effective to ship box that it is to try to get it from all these other sources. we can also start earlier in the process and how plants observe more of the phosphorus. recent research has shown that certain types of fund guy induct syria could be used in the future to improve crappy old and so it will help him find j did these other after the group of funds, a bit of lake, very good. uh, fox, sort of cabbage, anything, it can extend that high speed and scab inch of uh 1st. what else from any of the plans you know, to the scientists are still researching how these micro is,
4:22 am
could be used for large scale farming. however, transitioning to such organic agriculture takes time and could result in your losses or risk. farmers are hesitant to take the legislation could help me with the market along the you recently legalize the sale with us for us recovered from sledges, fertilizer, and is working on laws that will require more. fos for us to be removed from waste water, especially is actually quite easy to recycle the government of the set and says, hey, you have to recycle 15 percent of the costs 1st. that then you're wastewater. and then innovations finally have a chance to come to light and start to implement. frankly, the cost of that is a good driver, largest innovation when it was cheap, don valley that i am optimistic, kept at that. maybe i'm just optimistic in general, but space, but the technician that fits there were talking about it and maybe able to the new revolution feed is bernetta. well, the plan that is, comes strong,
4:23 am
contains water quality text. i agreed fiber, which was legal to waste. but what good can come out of this waste bible, you get off. however, the community of marginalized women and so i mean i do is my due date is 6. we're making beautiful, fashionable items out of this waste fiber. transforming but non of fiber into boss gets them in here. individuals do. but according to them, in my day, in southern india, i thinking of materials once considered waste. i'm done and get into something they can use both of them in school today to say we started working here after her husband was imprisoned. the job offered her and her children, a lifeline. i didn't know but it's in and out. i meant to put down that a more than a week after the incident. i was alone, i tune for a few days, days, and then it has helped me during that time. if you'd let me know how i loved it, eventually let,
4:24 am
let me on the by day my kids are getting older the same and i didn't know what the operating nobody can. we can embed critical situation and i came to this job and then a lot of got into this in the city, i'm and what is the salary and the women. i'm looking at the model, the international center for aut amicus. they produce over 20 varieties of baskets on more than 50, other types of handicrafts. the project aims to empower windows and think of him and providing them with book, but serves as a source of monthly income for them. the initiative was founded by johns. he has been leading it for almost 6 years and lived in nevada. when i was a kid, i used to give me a gift to my friends. i would get everything from trees including raises and create a small homes and those items. i received positive feedback from my friends. it was during that time that i realized i'm not going from interest, rudy. with this realization that need to consider making things out of them. naturally. medina isn't raised. i think it obviously didn't. the india is the was
4:25 am
largest producer of the non us growing more than $30000000.00 tons of the food every year in summer, not to the 4th largest, but not agreeing steve around. $10000000.00 tons of waste is produced to but not a least for the mika project comes from pharma. phoebe, he cultivates a fees of around 2000, but not fees. the growth cycle of the plants spends approximately one year. within 10 months, the trees bear fruit and after how listing that's got down to make we, for the next crops of the missionary it was due to i'm going to be surprised. but recently we have started using it for multiple purposes. in particular, we use it yet as a drama duty or to make some baskets. this has been very useful for us. the the mika boss, goods and other products are mostly exploded abroad to countries like with knob on
4:26 am
the usa. the women make around 8 to 10 boss gets every day they all sold for around 2000 a piece just for which went to utilize the room and get around 150 to peas on one euro. 6540. it might not sound like much, but the see, the income brings them comfort, and there are also other benefits and what not a lot of them are they finding every women working here faces how to spend and trauma issues from their families. we strive to give them hope for financial independence and the chance to support their children when we come together and work as a team or to all up being seems to for you to weigh in with them now. and the best thing is that the women say nothing from nature is based it, they believe they will benefits the environment. but more importantly for sylvie, it also brings her closer to her dream to empower women, just like how to support themselves and their families. i would love to get my
