simple as the impossible to see it. the stones tell the story of a powerful revolution. what exactly happened as a 10000 years ago? the secret shone age, stops december 22nd, on the w, and the as the world's biggest emitter of carbon emissions. china is often at the receiving end of criticism, but that could change on some of the countries that had been critical of china me one day left behind when it comes to green innovation and technology will be looking at that. and the farming which is also suffering the effects of climate change on this edition of made in germany dw business magazine. how other topics

also related to climate change. existing drought threatened the livelihoods of spanish, all the farmers. saving water and drop by drop to 5 drops and high take farming with global bondage in belt loop. welcome to the show. the air in chinese mega cities is often stick. that's partly because china is still building coal fired power plants. but despite investing in fossil fuels, the country is also making big strides in renewable energy and electrical ability. and maybe the fact that china's economic growth is somewhat curtailed right now helps reduce c o 2 emissions. a reporter, christian for sale is found out that that could help reduce carbon emissions much faster. and in some western countries, the china is the country with the largest c o 2 emissions in the world

around 30 percent of the overall climate damaging c o. 2 emissions are blasted into the air their china actually wanted to manage to reduce c o 2 emissions shortly before 2030. the country suppressive instead. in an earlier speech high, our goal is to reach the maximum level of c, o. 2 emissions before 2030 and the chief claimant neutrality from 2060. we able to have c o 2 emissions peak before 2030, and achieve carbon neutrality before 2016. but now experts are saying that china will be continuously and drastically reducing its c o 2 emissions starting next year already. how could this happen so quickly? for decades trying this political leadership has promoted a mass of expansion of coal fired power plants. thanks to cheap electricity, the people's republic has worked its way up from a developing country to the 2nd largest economy in the world. at 30.9 percent,

china is responsible for almost a 3rd of global c o 2 emissions. it's followed in the ranking by the united states at around 13 percent as well as india and russia. then japan with almost 3 percent of global c o 2 emissions. however, experts now believe that china will manage to drastically reduce its c o 2 emissions very quickly. i see actually a new dynamics into bringing the emissions fast down than china initially has announced. especially because of the investment in to renewable energy. the steep increase into into investments and to renewables, but also into energy efficiency. this is particularly evident in the massive expansion of solar energy in china. that country is the world's largest producer of solar panels, and they are being installed on a gigantic scale. they target to use

a triple column pool capacity of variable energy generation from 2022 to 2030. so that's a very ambitious goal, but also a line with the, with kind of grows, china was already the champion of renewable energy use last year with over $1100.00 gigawatts of newly installed electricity generation. that was followed by the us with 352 gigawatts of interest. a 3rd of china is capacity in brazil, and india follow far behind germany, which only achieves around 13 percent of china is renewable energy output. china is climate neutral energy policy is based on the expansion of wind energy, nuclear power, and hydro power. and the biggest increase is in solar energy. but china is not satisfied with just having the world's largest solar parks. starting in 2021

. the government launched a gigantic solar roof program, which is being eagerly implemented by all the can tons, many private home owners and municipal buildings will receive solar panels, $100.00 gigawatts, this year alone, which is more than the us installs in one year. this trend is supported by the mass of the promotion of climate frenzy. the cars, which already account for 8 percent of all chinese cars whose share was growing massively. in addition, construction activity is stagnating for the foreseeable future. meaning less climate friendly concrete will be produced. and this is leading to much faster than expected an extreme reduction in c o 2 levels, according to experts. currently about 20 percent of the power in china is generated from co next year console below 50 percent of by 20 stores. in the end, china may even be able to solve the problems of c o 2 emissions faster than some

western industrialized countries. and at the same time drive forward it's market leadership of solar and wind energy. the climate crisis is affecting funds of mediterranean cuisine, olives, and olive oil have now become a luxury product. a leader of olive oil now sells for 20 years, and that wouldn't even be an expensive brand. the reason behind the price jump is a poor harvest. in the regions with all of a cultivated, especially spain, which is the world's biggest olive producer. my colleague mark was british, met with spanish, all farmers to see how they are coping. as i said, we've had very few of this here. notice it doesn't help any that prices are rising to 6 or 8 zeros. and if you don't have a harvest one, the concerts,

i'm going to get instead of a pharmacy period, 100 or 120 days. we're now talking about 10 or 15. there is much more unemployment they all have holidays to spin in full swing for a few weeks. workers are shaking the fruit from the trees with machines and by hand . there's less work than usual now that i'm in other years we've harvested olives for 100 or 100. 20 days now it's maybe only 40 if that i mean there's only work for 2 weeks. it's okay because we can't live on 400 years a month for 6 months. soon, many of the workers will need unemployment benefits to make ends meet. carlos, a bowler, the head of the family business is also worried. he's harvesting the ca, with 50 employees. the consequence of the drive, i'll clear, i think that you have to look after the olive trees you're around,

but it's different harvesting of 10 tons per hector or one. the cost per hector is the same, but you can see in the allocate them to $1.00 tons and to 10, a lot of the a mean a few kilometers further on the village of mount us, diego, but i encourage the scientist on, on effects, but lives here his family also has all its left, so now you investigate. the drought is brutal. only the trees close to the road are bearing olives. and in since they've got more moisture, boom boom of app. what i thought fair to cover that. but if we go a little further away, the trees hardly have anything that do you know, the offering cannot be an app and apple feel. traditional, honest production without irrigation is in a dilemma. it's too dependent on rain in, well, i know good benefits of the harvest is good. they only pay you $2.00 heroes per kilo of oil, and that's diabolical is uh uh, you feel totally helpless because you can do whatever you want to know and it still doesn't pay off for

a 3rd of spain's only scribing area. it's already being irrigated. this is lucrative right now, but it regression has its limits, can i? yeah. was like when there was no water in the area around the water, the van river, the most important didn't under lose. yeah. is already over used to. there is no possibility of issuing new licenses for an average age of a concepcion of that vehicle. the scientists proposes the government should regulate the supply of oil to stabilize prices. taco gomez wouldn't mind that either. he's been pressing oil from the lives of the local farm is in by, in a for 20 years now. he's waiting for the next delivery. but the truck does only bring the precious cargo in the evening. it's already clear that this season will not be a good one for him. but a give me the high process, $500.00 tons a year. this year. it will probably only be $250.00. the harvest will be down to have that. the next day he buckles the freshly pressed oil. the price is

almost doubled within a year. the oil is too expensive, so many can see minutes. but his customers are still coming to a park. i don't remember how, but up lot of people. yes, the oil is expensive right now. the olive farmers gate lead euro is 50 per kilo of oil, then we sell it for 11 euro. so, and of course we still learn money, but less than many people think north america when, when we're talking, the only business is becoming difficult to find a kind of a bullet. one thing is clear and money with our lives in the future. he needs more young olive trees and more automation. this machine is already replacing some of the work. it's a lot of quality on. yeah, it costs to be 50 to 60 percent more to harvest old dollars trees. thank you. on ones that are going to totally about a little bit, thomas has to produce sufficiently, not least because they can help you find any harvest work as by ada depends on on it revenues, but the population is shrinking every year. the matter is not on the struggling due

to the drought, google c one. in addition, many families wants to give that children a better education and training and also media in which it's a map. many young people are moving away. why do you think? either you put up with that for me to diversify the economy in order to create a new job opportunities. go look well then. hm. okay, you're not going to assume the guy i gave you. but if you got like on the carlos out of all that is already diversifying, he's realized that the only problem is to loan is knows enough. so he's building solar panels and water stories tanks, but other farm is for it. so i will vote. this is part of our new business, then it was you and we are offering you to farmers because it's becoming more important every day who the bulk of the water shortages, real life cause i have the i why haven't values that his employees are real estate planting new olive trees on behalf of the farm is they used to go by weight in these fields. but because of the drought,

it's no longer with while that is to go on. it's instead, the farm is counting on that being enough rain for the game scene. farmers aren't only victims of climate change, they also contribute to it. carbon emissions are part and parcel of forming, in fact calls and other lives still account for around 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions. so is we cultural also a culprit in the climate crisis? the answer isn't that simple, as you will see this report by on drafts, noise house. or how did agriculture develop leading chickens milking cows or harvesting wheat without agriculture about 8000000000 or so people on earth would have no livelihood. and almost a 1000000000 people, 30 percent of the working population are out of a job. that's how many are full time farmers in v use around a 3rd of years. total land areas for livestock farming and agriculture efficiency

is increased enormously in the early days. thousands of years ago agriculture yielded even less than hunting and gathering the this change mainly due to technical progress, better seeds, more efficient fertilizers, pesticides, and ever larger and more modern machines. without farmers to cultivate more airable, land, keep more live stock and specialize their farms. in germany, for example, one farmer could feed 10 people in the early 19 fifties. today, one farmer seats almost 150 people. we deal for hector are almost 3 times higher. whereas a hand you still a 30 x a year to date is free. it's can lay over 300. 1 thing is clear, so much is produced that everyone could have enough seeking. but it is also clear that global agriculture must become more environmentally animal and climate

friendly. if you add land consumption at deforestation, it is responsible for around 30 percent of the greenhouse effect. and in the end, the climate change we are contributing to will also reduce agricultural yields. a good culture is slowly approaching its limits and that could very well mean less meat and more plants in the future. because one of the most important resources, water is becoming more scarce. when the ground drives up habits shrink and millions of people across the world suffer from food and security as a result. so coming up with ways of managing with little water, could off of many possibilities. and it's something i'll reporter on you can make. took a look at, you've had the news, drought heat, and water shortages crops, dying of thirst, effects, all of us draft causes 1000000 billing euros of damage per year,

and you're at the loan that could soon rise to 65000000000. if nothing is done, somebody always carmen the tax pay the consumer economically just not possible to keep on doing as we have done them in the last decade. how can we still think we coach them from drawing up farm is like no fee, so we've rather lost his grain or to be this high. he can no longer feed his family from when he grows and plans to give up production. and then you want me to hang up and won't even be worth harvesting even game. and there are many fields where nothing gross, you limit, it may be that the fuel for that are, that was worth more than the grain it will deliver in europe. temperatures have risen twice as fast as the global average in the last 30 years. this draft

indicator shows much at the continent, colored orange for warning. spain is read for a lot. we do see a decrease in rainfall, for example, in the mediterranean region, and also in southern africa. so that there we do have really a double whammy of climate change impact on what your availability and the heat but in other parts of well the, the rain fall itself as then the lack of rainfall is not a the effective farm is in india have not been able to hobbes much grain to, to record heat and floods indians and now paying much more about 10 percent more food inflation has risen and worldwide induced by noon rice exports is driving of prices. one of the things that farmers are doing in order to to increase their resilience in the face of drought is investing in irrigation

technology. drip irrigation is supposed to be especially efficient. the feet of pipes lie directly amongst the plants and really small amounts of water. like here it has the winery near jerusalem. israel is extremely dry. it has a world wide reputation as a model for sustainable irrigation. the country also the implements of the measures . such a see want to be selling nation plants is riley intends to use them to supply around 90 percent of its 20 want to in the future. treat the rotation is commonly used by pharmacy, a plan, so mostly with direct get that roots in order to save water. so if you compare sleeping ation for rights to rise going in body, you'll save 758065 percent of the water, but again, depends on how, where do you, how do you cook compared depends on the cloth and the climate and so on. and so

forth. anything i would say that the plug number is almost 30 percent. these really company metal frame produces the systems and is seen as a pioneer recruit their rotation. right now, demand is rising, especially from major agricultural, produces countries like the us, brazil and china, which are among the world's biggest food exporters. but technology is not always the own. so every time that we have ever seen an expansion of irrigation technology, we have cnn increase in water consumption through agriculture. that means they produce thirsty or products. it means they expand the area under irrigation. many smaller scale farmers cannot afford electricity pumps and filters. they remain dependent on rain water like most farmers over well,

those are this is not an argument against efficient irrigation, not at all. and what it means is that you engage in systems alone will not solve challenges related to water, stress, and scarcity. they need to be addressed through technological fixes, behavioral change, and policy change. there's so many people working to come up with answers to the climate crisis across the world, including scientists and engineers. and perhaps we humans could even get a bit of help from robots. they can also chip in when it comes to solving the climate crisis in agriculture. robots are being deployed to make agricultural work better for the environment and climate. this is what it looks like when robots, harvest fruit, and they could already be used. now they pick much faster than human beings.

we have a massive flavored problem at farming. startups in asia, europe, canada, and the us are springing up and developing machines that will be the farmers helpers help the future. these are these sticking robots worked for tentatively. the machine doesn't get tired. the machine doesn't make any careless mistakes. and the machines fitness doesn't change from day to day hard. it's always the same. and if the settings are right, it works on some, some you, it does. all this strawberry harvesting robot is being used in florida, a prototype that is still in the test phase. until now, harvest workers from mexico have picked the strawberries. i can tell you it's a very hard job in the fields, need to be picked every 3 days. so the rule of thumb is always been you need one person per acre. so now with the of thousands of acres,

you need thousands of people. but in the last 20 years, fewer and fewer workers have been available and the berries haven't been picked. the farmer has suffered huge losses, but necessity is the mother of invention. he hired a robotics engineer. together, they develop the harvesting machine. it costs $700000.00, but the farmers don't have to find it pretty far away for harvesting. the robot, navigates autonomously through the rows. it's able to distinguish between humans and objects with the help of lasers to get a number of patterns. one of them is this pattern that has a station keeping pattern, which we're able to hold the position of the robotic. picking that while the machine can, you continues to move at a slow pace. this wheel is, has a series of clause on it where the robots pick the very uh, the wheels spins and another clock present itself to pick the next period. so we

can go around a plant much faster and get to commercial speeds cuz we can fix, pick, pick, versus fix, move that move the robot. technology is also being perfected in europe. a don't. your company has invented a machine that makes harvesting asparagus faster and more efficient. this on thomas tractor for a song conservation is also designed to make work easier. it could work completely independently. date is 9. 1 full tank of gas is enough, but so far the farmer is still close to his machine and can intervene in case it malfunctions the. during the harvest, they have 121-314-1516 hour days for a few weeks in a row. it has been the case for decades and many occupations outside of farming pathway and much more attractive. right. and since then search the family constraints have no longer existed and farmers ears have been able to say no, dad,

i'm not taken over the farm, then you'll just be the last and the loan line. i am. so does the future line and smart farming. the development of agricultural machinery is often more advanced than that of more tournaments cars. this is because much stricter rules applying to road traffic. me that i have to adjust with zip in farming, especially with been driving autonomously since 2003. for instance, at this point, and that's correct. it's forbidden on the road. we're not allowed to use the systems there were, but in the fields were allowed to and the accuracy of the guidance is about, let's say 2 to 5 centimeters. as far as i can with 5 percent tend to me to the machines are not allowed to drive on their own in germany or elsewhere in europe, nor in the us or canada. this is because there are still few legal regulations. a human being must still always be present. this is because the risk of accidents are

too great for large autonomous tractors with over 300 horse power and 12 tons of weight. for example. at the moment the legislature doesn't distinguish between and a ton of most machine or a machine that is simply a machine that's the term is not defined by law lies. perhaps, manufacturers are simply lacking a bit of clarity. they would need a bit more backing from the legislature in order to have clarity as to whether they are really safe enough with a solution or the 2nd most. and what i missed to ensure that no humans or animals are injured, autonomous machines in the field must be equipped with the gps and for red camera systems, pete sensors and distance measurements sensors, which can recognize the environment this small solar cell powered robot move slowly across the field waiting a job that would otherwise require up to 20 helpers. organic farmers use it to save

on test designs. it could also be further developed for fertilizing spring and planting. the it may soon be impossible to imagine harvesting fields without robots. is this the future of farming? now what's great is that a robot probably won't complain what it has to get up and going at the crack of dawn. and that brings us to the end of today's edition of made. thank you so much for watching and do join us again next time until then from me, i'm the entire team here in berlin. that's good by and take care of the
