the size, the final speed rise to don't really have to go smooth and not see starts january 27th on dw, the agriculture is a stronger, especially in developing countries where climate change is also an imminent. how long do i come? i'm finally got somebody annual 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 strong goods 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 size that happen too long dry spells are often a direct cause for economic distress. but for one community here, switching to a drought resistance, droplet ip has made all the difference. these concludes phones as a preaching spots of light spun from a 900 metre long silk thread. then too 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,
9:32 am
even more of the water. my roster is traditional cart and grabbing region. but climate change is taking its toll with increasing the long periods of drought followed by heavy rains, which destroy the hobbies and threatened livelihoods. as a result, the highest suicide rate among farm is in the last 6 months of 2022 desperation led more than a 1000 farm is in my roster to take their own lives. the village of really the, in the word for colton is also affected by climate change. in the past, everyone here made a living from carlton, including she about 0 possible on his family. but the plans need a lot of water. that's one of the reasons why costs and production went into decline. apologize. we have to constantly spray the cutting probably the besides an ottoman due to the soil, just just as i was on uh, it was an endless cycle of spending all across all the anything from it sealed as
9:33 am
well stuff. i took our coats, i got caught up in 2018 droughts, destroyed the harvest for the village of really it was, it is often at the time tale. that's nevada. we had just been elected village chief. he's been hearing about the potential of silk reduction or sorry, 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 rearrange unit. how did us decided to take the gamble for you? it's all good. i would say we made a fight as what the 1st goal was to improve financial conditions. villages. nike
9:34 am
with silk is a high yield crop and 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 started out as an agricultural experiment has transformed into a large scale silk farming operation. today, nearly 600 farm is from really of switched to serve you culture the vehicle or maybe i started out with 2 silver eggs to us from not they got 200 kilos of so good coons at school. you o'clock. 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 farming was for boy, just 2 acres of sorry, culture. he owned a lot of money for people. that's how it started this, sorry, coat 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 sofa
9:35 am
and the mobile trees, a hearty grove of several years, i'm requiring much less will to fund makes them ideal for this drought stricken region. according to kind of coach experts seem hanukkah, she works closely with the pharmacist in myra hosta. instead of capturing you con, kills best as i phone in you, i'm going to be renovations. so that is an advantage 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. she's also a very specific one side of it, i guess a few bits and buttons and of the things i use, but not a bit of people besides, because of in your diet and zip is sensed. the villages run the reaming unit and really together. as soon as the law, 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
9:36 am
a day off the but the caterpillars not spinning. the precious soak thread around themselves to form a kick in. just a few days later, the kings are harvested and sold 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, respect to some of this, but it's definitely boosted up confidence as women who are we. 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 from a k and the law of a mustn't be allowed to hutch. so the thought to work is heat, the gains and water to kill the law of a mole retrieve all the same as you'd want to. right now. the form is that using precious groundwater, but kind of us and his team of set up several poems to collect ray more to how.
9:37 am
what if telling you if i'm boss is very much 5 most of filling the form for or just using them as a storage to bone the more but i'm starting to fall apart and then use it for the patient. it is not 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 are feeling you are born by giving some catchment, i'm diverting that in. what the, what, what rain 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 what we told the trade is that if you're interested in how supply does it, then come to our village, i'm getting yourself to walk in the community. so today those traders come here to
9:38 am
buy our apologies. and i say on the farm is don't have to travel anywhere to sell it or the has all these are basically a political cause. 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 a negative prosperity and their own cause or reason a house. ready or somebody by 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 up and up? i got from the what i that's the biggest winning yes. subsidies. some somebody me knew about the, the honey, my held illuminated beeswax and my live bomb where we can find the honey, these for all of this. and while the actually bad for the mileage,
9:39 am
because they come bead with the y v 's, which is actually the species that house because of the odd biodiversity. if he was wisely in agriculture 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, he's a specialist in environmental biotechnology. after researching chose will be diseases in germany and it is really heated, done to his hometown of luck know in 2015 and the region needs him why the numbers have been declining here for decades about their part of nation work. families have seen a significant drop in the heats to compensate live in st. provide of pollination silva as to farmers by renting out honey bees. so i've got a disability. i'm a job z date could be called a lease already set up in places like movies and music fields and transport them to
9:40 am
new fields to the migration process like 3 for 5 months. gall production is a deacon example. then they can include the 200 kilograms by book keeping on the market. so ok, yeah, that's nathan think owns of housing cause these off the honey, be a pest manufacturers 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. they move calling from plant to plant aging, the pollination of flowers, vegetables, and fruits. best single purpose here is to support the funds. unlike white bees that benefit farms as well as bio diversity. but both kinds of bees are generally in decline because of one main factor. so when we use best decides to kill the home for lopez, we also can be useful to pass along with this in these because they directly feed on the plants that directly go to the flaws they get the direct picked of the
9:41 am
pesticides. so one of the major reasons is that an 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 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 here were dry out unless a be comes along. if it sits on it, it gets more nutrients. my unit had gone down by 20 or 30 percent more compared to our previous crops. this one is going great. all these flowers are doing well. this
9:42 am
blonde is 4 months old and is still growing tax to the honey bees. before i would run out of produce to harvest in 2 to 3 months. after loading up the threat, that best decides bows to honey and why these rom so have a switch to organic farming. bakers why be keeping me head foremost via these head of the planet? the phone and dial 4 is the health keep other species of life and not in 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 improve it. what we don't realize is that they are actually of a source of funding for the bees when the means of gosh, crops on all day. so these, uh, you know, they are a kind of buffer and as a lawyer for the we these, and we need, these rather was more numbers. so they're more likely to sustain the values of
9:43 am
nature. and they're more likely to try even as long as it relates to become a very, very good source of commit to it and fall in for the be. so what do you need those play essentially 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, our best shot foster son, dimensions of life. it is essential for the creation of dna. and it is also a major component in commercially for july that the only problem is the us supply or 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. in such a dicey scenario, our reporter has explored once the solution which is available, one of us,
9:44 am
what's in our phones, dna and seats, 8000000 people. 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 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 confirm? peace 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 is trying to find out how to make anyway. what is
9:45 am
false for us. all organisms need fast tennis, essential nutrients by the central composite of life. this is barbara came on. she's a renowned soil scientist space to discuss one canada. that's how does dna, it's hard as part salvas contain us let betts. it's part of our, our and i 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 are stunted and don't yield us much between increasingly using these chemical fertilizers on farms since the post world war 2 period. together with crop engineering, it's bread. 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 the automobile. give me the intense, nice the are lovely next production which step 315 and then the sedation at the
9:46 am
atari a. as a scientist at the indian institute of swale science, it gives me the give this credit to fuck laser application because before it was there was no knowledge about the world, but fertilizer use increased 6 times from 1950 to 2000. so where do we get all of it from? to 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 chrome line 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 un size has been unlawfully occupying the area rubble. 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 using agriculture actually ends up in the food we eat. that's partly
9:47 am
because phosphate fertilizer is new tories. we inefficient. it binds easily with other minerals in this oil, which makes it unavailable for the cloud. when they get 950, a foss with us to apply this, it was do get don't, they didn't get some but people to get us to work and body. but maybe 80 percent of that. would it be best if you didn't inside? that's why the industry solution is to just chuck more on the soil. faster suppressed, relatively cheap, adding a bit as good as a marble guarantee profits. this accumulated phosphorus is come, legacy phosphate. how much phosphorus is lost in the soil also depends on the cell . to set a click 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 with nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus, and to bodies on or at least a huge or if occasion, which kills of oxygen in the water. it also causes massive alco bloom's,
9:48 am
which can be toxic and producers wondering nothing when they die. and it's not just the police from agriculture, and that's the ramp and plus 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 on a call. she's a researcher at the swedish university of agricultural sciences and also started a company that turns urine and feces into fertilizer. one out of 10 people are like that in the amount of nutrients that are in urine is enough to grow at 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 excreta 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
9:49 am
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 lives to can dairy farming. one of the most scalable solutions is to figure out how to get all of it out and reuse it right now. so it's treatment plants to get the water cleaner, get it. we're not looking at it as an extraction. we as our sewer and i think he was mining 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 absorb more, the phosphorus. recent research has shown that certain types of fund guy induct
9:50 am
curia, could be used in the future to improve crappy old and soil. how in fun j did these other estimates group of funds a bit of like very good. uh, fox sort of cabbage that he's been sick and it's been that high cmc kabbage of, uh, fox. what else from any of the scientists are still researching how these microbes 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 recently legalize the sale of foss for us recovered from sludge as 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 2nd says, hey, you have to recycle 15 percent of the cost 1st, that then you're wastewater. then innovations finally have a chance to come to light and start to implement. frankly,
9:51 am
the cost of fitness would drive a lot of innovation when it was cheap. dod value that i am optimistic kept at that . maybe i'm just optimistic in general, but space, but the technician that fits there and we're talking about it may be able to, their new revolution. feed is bernetta. well, the plan that is, comes strong, contains water quality text. i agreed fiber, which was the ghost 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 baskets. them in here, individuals to put a condom in monday in southern india, i thinking of materials once considered waste. i'm done and get into something they
9:52 am
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 tuned for a few days. dave and preventative helped me during that time. if you'd let me know how i loved it, eventually let, let me on the by day my kids are getting older the same and i didn't know what to don't bring. 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 mother 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 single women, providing them with book. it serves as a source of monthly income for them. the initiative was founded by johns. he has
9:53 am
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 what i would need. 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 doesn't raise up. i think it obviously didn't. the india is the was 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 states around $10000000.00 tons of waste is produced to but not least for the mika project. comes from pharma 50. 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 often how listing that's got down to make we, for the next crops of the miss any of the was
9:54 am
due to over the summer. but recently we haven't started using it for multiple purposes. in particular, we use it yet as it all material meetings, baskets. this has been very useful for us. the, the mika baskets and other products are mostly exported abroad to countries like written on, on the usc, the women make around 8 to 10 boss gets every day they are sold for around 2000 a piece just for which went to utilize the room and get around $150.00 to peas on one euro, $6540.00. it might not sound like much, but the see, the income brings them comfort. and there are also other benefits. and or not, a lot of i'm going to find every woman working here faces how to spend and draw my shoes from their family. these tries to give them hope for financial independence and the chance to support their children when we come together and work as
9:55 am
a team or all up being seems to for you to remember that the law and the best thing is stated that he has the women say nothing from nature is based it, they believe their work benefits the environment. but more importantly for sylvie, it also brings us closer to her dream, to empower women, just like how to support themselves and their families. i would love to get my hands on a hand bag made out of, but i don't know if i was who would have thought, but it has ideas like these that actually only making additions to the fall most to us. i'm to the planet. but you let me know what did you like the most about today's episode, and what would you like to see more of i will see you soon until then take care goodbye. and the most gosh, the
9:57 am
service. yeah. trying to save was probably knowing your billions and loan auto infrastructure, investment serbia, is the bridge had for china's new silk, loud critics or warning up too much dependence and control. china's prevailing influence. in 15 minutes on the w worker, broad or in the homeland many albanian nurses wrestle with this
9:58 am
question. health care professionals are in demand every way, but is more and more young people leave their home country will look after it gets elderly knows in 90 minutes, dw, the web page. i mean, i know, did i mean i might just do it and i'm hoping dw new pod costs. thank strength amounts bother today about joining us as we travel around your facing the history of every day. all set and that's something right around the world. no need to talk to that, just to subscribe already. listen to part costs and we'll take you along to the right thing.
9:59 am
and do the same way. the big 6 and one different thing is from life. when your parents do, i just want to pursue what that's my thought or you think your kid is 2 different risk, irresponsible. reasonable stopping port is nonsense. i wonder if my son to the doctor still in the cloud. it's time to, to get your generation with a sleep asked and then when generations flash starts, january 14th on dw is kind of fun. it feels like therapy. the
10:00 am
this is the definitely news line from the, the us just israel to plan for pace with the palestinians. the secretary of state, tons of me think and wants of a thing. the tone of war on civilians in gaza is too high and says out of nations, one best of relations with it as well. but only when a product to a palestinian state to it is placed also on the program, ecuador sinks into crisis. the president says he's comfortable with drugs guys after a wave of the violence, the storming of a t v station, and the kid of police officers, the.
