of charity based in scotland after 41 days if will take it says he's looking forward to a cold beer is also hoping someone will get him a ticket to friday night's game. 6 next, on dw, with the big profit behind the house and pesticides, that's on the w business. in a moment. i'll be back at the top of the good, the innovation green, the green revolution global. so listen to whole lot of crime. it's probably up to speed. if the carrier is subscribed to this channel, every friday, subscribe to plan, it's a synthetic pesticides, the points most to the environment with our industrial food systems, the dependent on the use of these toxic chemicals. we design plans and prompts

systems so that they can compete with nature at the expense of nature. the good news is as a result, if we have something to eat, pesticide producing companies make billions in sales unless each keeps industrial food system, some place absolute scandals. but some companies say they are working to make products that are most sustainable. so how damaging austin septic pesticide and to what extent we really need them to survive on since coming up in this episode of transforming business as picking the pot toy one time is backbreaking work and especially when this evidence of unwelcome visitors sleep on here. so when you can see it hits, brown is fees of the feeding tunnel. it's a very small cabbage flies that cut up less than a through here. it doesn't look nice. need any additional questions on the, the service issue and also these past some of those are

a problem for over 5 months. but particularly here at kola, i know comic vegetable co operative base then like sake and germany. well, insects can attract the plants causing damage. and even making the vegetables on sellable left to grow weeds choke of space and some lights given cropped, less chance to thrice when an invasion without fungicides and products like that, it would be very difficult to grow fruit. we would need a lot more people in agriculture to do this by hand. if we wanted to do completely without it, move in with all the concepts, sufficient line going up this farm workers don't use invested chemical pesticides. instead they rely on biological emmanuel alternatives like plowing for introducing natural predators. it's more work the pharma jacob, including us thinks that has to be an end to industrial agriculture. may i think you can see the impact of this form of economic activity that we've been practicing since the 1940s in the extinction of species worldwide. it. com. keep on like this

or vital game because it's a growing perspective here in germany. people are becoming ever more skeptical of synthetic pesticides. organic farming has grown from covering 2.9 percent of land to 1999 to just on to 10 percent in 2022. the crop protection industry has continued to grow to an estimated value of around $78700000000.00 in 2022. according to market intelligence agency, s and p global. the top consume is pesticides worldwide. a brazil family and the lead followed in just seconds by the usa and then indonesia, argentina, and china performance in those countries space the growing problem. when you use one herbicides in lodge moans, the likelihood that you find resistance against that is increasing. that's biased head of sustainability mathias bounding and he should know bias leading pesticide

round up contains gleiss to say one of the most widely used type of sites in the world. tolerance is a building up over time against all of the herbicides and use meat palm. i'm around a weed closing, have like components sleeping fields across the us and resistance multiple her. besides including life, a state, a bias, crop science, research laboratories, and frank foot. the company is developing a new pest decide to come by the suite and does a room once of plants that have become persistent to current, decides they spray weeds with tests, components using cameras to collect data or on their impact. the results as a new weed killer castle in the targets unwanted plants that are full ready and much from the ground. technology is essential by assigned to say, using artificial intelligence and a new approach. they cool kropke, they've been able to narrow down molecules, but specifically target the weights and the to say for us to use as the environment . and it's able to, for example, slow down the roles fall,

killed the plan altogether. why is that important? every spring when a farmer kind of comes old and so uh, kind of puts new seats in the ground. those seats competes with the existing plants . was weeds, the new hub aside to so i'm going a long term study to discover any risks as part of the eventful registration process. the famine, yes, as by a con, rule out all negative impacts associated with pesticides. what it will have negative impacts for a sampling biodiversity because it is designed to destroy plans. for example, some insects are feeding, now flowing has the same negative impact. so a lot what is being said about apply for site and the negative impact on biodiversity is true, but it's equally true for flowing. but it's this expense tonight. so that's one of the major drawbacks to synthetic pesticides. say critics, what are those impacts?

one of the most commonly known is the impact on fees and other insects, vital and pulling these things. some of our crops around $1.10, b and butterfly species is threatened with extinction in europe. according to e, figures with pesticides among the causes, pesticides also degrade into soil humming organisms that keep us healthy, like us ones. and to be told, they can stay, that's the use and impact the soils ability to absorb carbon dioxide. then this water pesticides can run of fields and due to water sources, even making it into the ocean, poisoning, fish and wildlife. but it's not only pesticides for the course of the damage. experts say industrial agriculture in general is taking a huge, told us by diversity. basically produce a deadline guide is a conservation biologist at the height of the german sent us an integrative by of

us to research and the us the home health center for environmental reset. and so the current modem production is extremely efficient. we're producing a lot, much more than we need in fact, but we are losing everything with it. we're losing the farmers, we're losing nature. we're losing soil and we're poisoning the consumers in the water. and that means that we really have to find solutions to efficient turns his mode of production without losing the capacity to produce enough food for a growing population. in 2022, the european commission adopted a proposal for new regulation with a wide targets to reduce by 50 percent the use of risk of chemical pesticides. by 2030, it was positive plans to reduce the environmental footprint of the food system and to help mitigate the economic losses. but the sustainable use regulation, as it was cold, with scrapped of to being bolted down with the surface. blaming. lobbying from

pesticides produces the final proposal, pertain so weak, that many political groups on the left and progressive, they sold this is worse than the know that in half. so we cannot let this past. nina holland does a research on campaign at n g o corporate to europe. it's of a tree which tracks business lobbying in europe. they were conveniently ends and ironically helped by external circumstances like the cold with crisis and the war by russia and ukraine. is that basic is fueled and you run the risk of saying we can't absolutely be cons. reduce the use of these substances right now because of, for security globally switched from syngenta is the biggest player in the pesticide market, followed by german companies, buy a and b, a ss us based pull teva, and indian some u, p l. the between 20202022

the company, spent 40400000 euros along with crop protection in agriculture, a lobbying groups, lobbying against you policies, including the proposal and another 15000000 in 2023. basically what they were fighting for was their own profits. it goes with a 50 percent reduction target, their profit to would have gone down to chesapeake as well. another major set back for campaign is, was the re approval of controversial club aside like for say within the you the pesticides is the main ingredient and round up a. we'd kill it up by a took over when it bowed to us our grow chemical company, monsanto. in 2018, the world health organization has categorized life for state is probably costing to genic to humans. although by and maintains it's safe and the european food safety authority set a time to know critical areas of concern. european union has the most trick

way of proving pesticides in the process is the silicon valley of regulation. if something is even safe enough to be approved by process, we can assume it's safe. but not everyone is convinced. most of the seo and we as an organization of work in the defense of human rights and in the field of human rights, we work for the rights of food, the right to land, the right to health and the right to the environment that it's on the suddenly that it to me, i'm in maria who's safe and i'm still is a human life. its lawyer at the center of the legal and social studies of origin, tina, along with several of the n g o is the center, has filed a complaint with the organization for economic cooperation and development, the cd against bias business practices in south america. i did wanna watch the maximum, it's based on a model of maximum profitability, but they're trying to do it to so the largest area of land that's possible without

farmers but directly through machines using genetically modified seats with the package of poisons. that includes the life of states so that the land can do more and more, but it is land that keeps degrading so that no other things can be planted there, interrupted the supports and metal. according to the organizations largely based in south america, on average, more than 50 percent of the agricultural land in argentina for sale, parkway and bolivia is cultivated with soy beans. many genetically modified, switched on the effects of life for state, used to kill the surrounding we, they all accuse it as a result, people in the regions suffer from poisoning and serious diseases. the water sources can no longer be used, and the thousands of peck tests for us to being cut down to make way for solely being plantations threatening local animals implants. these are the direct consequences of the agricultural model promoted by the multinational. some european based, awkward chemical companies also continue to sell pesticides funds in the you in

south america and beyond pesticides containing power quite a wheat killing, manufactured by syngenta linked to parkinson's disease that has been found in the e. u since 2007 for example, and actually seeing the 2nd most widely used type of site in the us. it cannot be that that you hold still such double standards that it allows corporations to produce inside to in your products. it has long bend. in order to export, it's around the world 2 countries like from ukraine to see it now to south africa, to brazil, and do incredible home to people, communities and to the environment at large. with so many health and environmental drawbacks associated with fantastic pesticides. the question is, do we need them? human super lloyd don't acro chemical since soft of sick? well for, for industrial farming production is rocketed in the decades. the followed,

but it's devastating populations of bees and the other pollinators destroyed soil and contaminated water. a new generation of tests decides like those being developed by, by a cut off for some solution. but only if it comes with a change in the way and quantity the pesticides they used, which bounding us as the company plans to promote. so we are absolutely in table for us and we also invest in digital advertising, which will change the wage for protection is applied drones, would apply it on the spot early on and not in a broad scale across all the fields. still stomachs, but say it doesn't go far enough and that's an entire over the whole of the plumbing system is needed to take away the reliance on chemicals. the current model of production is actually forcing us to use pesticides you can do without. so farmers are becoming more more dependent on pesticides because the larger of the field is the more sensitive it is to the tax. if you have

a large amount of corn and then you'll be attacked by whatever is that, that attacking core and the same goes for potatoes, the tetra to. so you cannot really avoid pesticides without a more complicated solution. after you got it. co operative in leipzig, was because of packing boxes to send out to the 1400 subscribers to the scheme of 35 hectic. the land is relatively small when compared with some conventional firms . but there were plans for the cooperative and a sustainable model to move and double it size office visa has evolved before them and we have an extension of species that was unprecedented before human successes. and i believe that this equal system would continue to break down and decay and that life will become difficult for us sooner or later. if we don't try to move in the right direction. my times obviously with the light, i think we can achieve an incredible amount to agriculture because our great culture and uses and requires so much land worldwide. and i believe it would actually make a huge difference when it comes to bite of us. and climate change shall be my my

i'm, i'm good. what do you think? should we be relying on synthetic pesticides to grow of crops or looking for alternatives? lots of snow in the comments below the destroyed cities, power plants and critical infrastructure. many areas in eastern ukraine are in ruins and an end to the russian aggression is nowhere in sight. in the midst of the war, ukrainian presidents emerge the landscapes lobbying for help to rebuild his country is asking germany for aid, but also for more weapons. german chancellor would actually it's as promising further support, but wants to avoid an escalation of the conflict. germany and nato however, must be ready to resist the work of things go wrong. on to the point we ask between fear and deterrence can hear up to defend itself.
