quote
10:15 am
was off from the news at this hour of, of stay with us coming up. we have a documentary called saving our soil farming with a future. i'll have more news headlines for you in about 45 minutes time. if you get the, we would never compromise upon the rights or take the opportunity to upgrade your cation of work in 2024. ask them women, stop down with a ton of a unique insight into the struggle. the sharp edge of peace, thoughts much set on dw, the earth beneath us is home to immeasurable treasures,
10:16 am
billions of tiny creatures team and just a handful of healthy soil statement to see and we get some energy that didn't exist before just from living organisms. living soil is the foundation of our life. a few clues, a much larger part of bio diversity, lives below the soil station. and yet most fields are silent as intense agriculture and extreme weather. put pressure on the soil with considerable b. e. a. couple. can anything be done if it's so bad that we have to repair a broken soil. busy as a drop down, as i own
10:17 am
a farm and as it's been in our family since the 1600s. and now it's my turn to view . if i treat the soil the way it's being treated everywhere, my grandson will be able to lift from california from mac, the mission farms, south of berlin, near the village of flaming, and to come on in booking. now you can really see that the soil is degraded shod, and that's a shame on for the, for templates. he has degraded. you can, you can even stick your finger in it because you can barely bring it up. then your best. soon as you can see, there's still a moisture done here, but the saw it was a mess. it can no longer regenerate itself. now these limits will begin the via the snack. we've realized that we can't go on like this. the soils have reached their limit. do you see the dust storms and sand storms over and over? not just once, but 5 times a year for they used to happen once every 10 years. so now it's 5 times a year for clearing huge fields to make life easier for combine is just one reason soil and northeastern germany has degraded the consequences or of this
10:18 am
builds dry out faster and also blow away more easily. sandy soils here in yellow cover the region they are the most in fertile soils and also receive the least precipitation. according to the drought monitor, the areas to the east of the river elbow are especially vulnerable. the largest deserts in germany lies in brandenburg south of germany's capital and covers 5 square kilometers. tanks crawled over the sand on this training ground for decades. only specially adaptive plants, dry grasses and lichens have survived, and the li barrows desert. agriculture is on thinkable. unbelief such a random book has been hit hard doors and eastern germany generally deemed once
10:19 am
because we're in the more continental parts of the country, a long way from the sea come to an empty. so it is a booty in brandenburg and we often happy sandy soils which are not very good at storing walter wind. and then there is also climate change with more seated course and a decrease in precipitation. possibly a longer faces without it in summer, that's not in my mind. ultimately makes brandenburg especially vulnerable to climate change, who i think came up on the farmers are alarmed. what will grow in the future? how much will they have to adapt? some are already experimenting with arable asian crops. chick peas for example, which experts predict have a future on native european soils? they're seen as a 1st class soil conditioner. but will they work on the continent? at good to treat as doors in the masters overland region between berlin and poland . organic farmer band hot funded markets, cultivates barren sandy soils cause yields of native pulses such as peas and broad
10:20 am
beans are waning. that board and hot. yeah. and what about others at this time? it has very high water permeability, ne almost hoffman. it tries that fairly quickly up to get a 2 piece new dryer terrain against on it. this is generally good for chip is look, guy is he's a source to 40 bags of seeds from the south of france, but there are no guarantees they will sprouts, the man experimenting and trying a different varieties to figure out which is the best suited to our location of the my, i'm up to my deposit planning time. the c drill usually plants mays but today took pains. the experiments begins it's the end of april and the weather conditions are favorable.
10:21 am
the scientists and a regional marketing organization are also interested in whether and how the farm is experiment will succeed. expectations are high, experience is desperately needed. how deep should the seeds be sewed? isabella, how's that works at regular? know that i gave a local food production agency so she wants to garb bonds. so being to become a permanent resident in brandenburg is the complicated thing about agriculture is that you can never copy paste the thing i caught and look at the conditions in india, australia, or canada, and then do the same here. and i just, i'm conditions very locally, even within a small radius. you have to do things differently. of course, we can look at how things are done over there, but then we always have to rethink everything. 11 hector's will be planted today.
10:22 am
that ideally would translate to 11 tons of the protein power crop. that's the plan, but only time will tell the the field has been divided into several areas to monitor how the check p grows under different conditions. good in border is a check, pays out, pass it to the soil because it to the goods it can accumulate nitrogen and it's perfect for humans because it's rich and protein. it's rich and fine, but it's extremely versatile from chip p flower to check the pasta. and chris, it's used everywhere in the kitchen. it's not only healthy, but also extremely tasty. and let's not forget or goose and falafel seed should take 2 to 3 weeks to sprout. its new home, the sandy soil of brandon burn eastern germany, created by the last ice age around 15000 years ago. layers of river sand,
10:23 am
gravel and a few clay particles are typical of this region. but the soil is more than just the layers of sand. to me, this 3 d scan of the soil sample shows its typical texture, a branch system of routes, passages and cavities. this abundance of space is what makes it so valuable as a water reservoir. a single cubic meter of soil can hold up to 300 leaders of water at its best. it's a large sponge. the soil is basically the most important space for walter interaction on the boat and ensure a separation of falls in the soil and the soil decides how much of it actually import traits and how much it runs off on the surface. it's mentioned that to the course with human influence, what the soil ultimately does, but the walters to our lands using soil management the board. and i'm ending with
10:24 am
them by summer and organic farm and roofing our land north of berlin. laina and philip had been thinking a lot about the soil for the past 5 years. their harvest is eaten in restaurants by cell pickers and members. but the beginning was not easy. for me it's the 2019 drought correspond completely insane. so that was really like a desert here. once we turned it over and it was all open and fair. and i think it had even been towed once over a large area, especially. yes, it looked bad and then come here the summer with the drought center tried at 3040 centimeters down park phillip in lane hope to count through the poor sandy soils by diversifying above and below ground. over $120.00 colorful varieties organic vegetables are cultivated on 3 hector's of land
10:25 am
devotedly. the soil loves diversity to put it in a natural because roots act differently and need different spaces. i there very widely distributed in the notes as we don't yet know all the connections. we don't yet know what exactly happens in this oil, especially with a micro biome and what the interactions are these excess comb gonzalez are interested about. first of the new studies worldwide fight show that diversity can actually make the soil more resilient to begin this pull than moto cultures can. it's evelyn know which one growing different kinds of vegetables is more work each has its own specific needs. the rare and heirloom variety is grown by the pair are most interesting to customers and the soil likes them to
10:26 am
mind can meet and you can even do a bit of soil building with different crops that quoted and start. cabbage is a heavy feeder. it takes away a lot of the deepening themes bring in a lot and so on. and if you establish a sensible crop rotation, you can also improve the soil in the 12th even in terms of crump management to this guy. and that's actually the goal that you build up the soil as part of the cultivation itself. instead of depleting it all gone is also out. this is what their fields look like in the off season. short living plants, known as cats, crops, are planted in the off season to boost diversity and support the soil. in venda, we usually salvage and winter civic. it grows a little in the 1st year and continues to grow the next year. so the soil is never bare. no nutrients are washed out, soil life can continue, water is retained better and the following year we already basically have the 1st fertilizer step in place. legumes such as rich peas and beans are part of the cure
10:27 am
. they draw nitrogen from the air and by working with special bacteria stored in small nodules that the roots does. here you can see it has lots of bacteria nodules here. this provides natural fertilizer for next seasons vegetables. the catch crop is mon and covered if it doesn't freeze off in winter. the soil does the rest making space and food for the vegetables. if you haven't done with a very diverse oil life with a greater diversity, we can better react to sudden events or shocks or fits because they're always certain specialized organisms that come into play the even to know the hospital easy. it said or done some, some good come mark do. mission has already harvested his grain. now he wants to diversify his fields such as hold. so this is the main seat of the course seat for
10:28 am
the front cuz it contains oats, barley, cheese, that you some floors. instead of deluxe one room. ones that are fine or seats such as clover any be passed or mixture, are also included. greenery and homeless are to be built up in the soil as quickly as possible composed of a that's going into the in the fine seed will take a button to test all over the course of all that takes a week. what do you find the find seat? start some protein in 2 days and starts forming its 1st here. root and it's for ceilings and i get this and then it starts again with a covered area. it's basically just the soil conditioner because we don't harvest it and we leave it until next spring. we'll the big re thinks began 20 years ago. that's what we used to apply after the harvest to break the rubble and turn the soil over the students in the soil surfaced a small emotional my father always said literally gonna, we're not getting anywhere for harvesting. so little amount of off my not in terms
10:29 am
of quintal, but we're harvesting too little for what we're actually putting in the we said ok, we'll stop doing it. we'll do something different po number will just stop by weight. you're lucky enough completed. all right. do mission has tried a lot of things, researched, attended, so management courses even travel to brazil to see how crops are grown there. he learned about no till farming where crops are sound directly after the harvest. know plowing the sea drill, slits the soil only slightly protecting soil life. you know, we know from other countries that have been doing this for decades, but it's the only way to say i'm, there is no other way. i don't because i say, so it's your fault, but because all other ways have been tried for century story that's kind of i'm, i'm looking for at least about 200 years on an all in some of the light to carbon pollution and soil fertility degradation up suitable on board and full. okay,
10:30 am
so frustrated on these now, what fixture in the know till seen, he travels to conferences, gifts talks and offers guided tours of his farm. he shares with other farmers via social media, and his recognized for his pioneering work. when does won't be enough, he's of course i'm private when someone says ok, he's not talking garbage. what he said is actually true. dusty. this is great, cynthia, for the same mistakes we made 10 or 15 years ago. yeah, i mean, i was, if we already did everything wrong and you ought to be the others, don't need to repeat it and, and gets things come faster, doesn't i'm going and that's probably why we're seeing such an increase in the number of people who are not showing up and starting this everywhere, even if it's just experiments. and as if wondering if i was on the file as many have already switched from ploughing to more gentle cultivation methods, but only a few do direct. so the method has no lobby because it saves both diesel and fertilizer. it's just an app. so it has a p here, so that
10:31 am
a block that gives you the option of white people. he's important another be the school of them. yes, yes. well, now it's quite here in the event the animal world, the insect world, the mushroom world can start to live here and process it all. but if we work, the soil who wants to speak to someone in the the straw on top will be taken away by next year. and he says he does all, it will look like it doesn't matter. and then it will all fall back in again on the plants in between die. some do some, don't to you, some free some don't for yourself on the then least folder and inform the next nutrient carpet for the diversity that we maintain. here for the dvr, a yacht is solely used to only have one percent who, unless now it's 2 percent, which is still very low. creating change is a generational task. we'll just skip the board. the soil is now giving back some of what we'd be putting into it for years. and we're realizing that no team because in dry years we still far important. and even in the very try
10:32 am
years we still far, nothing has gone are broken. no. what does makes me a big wood on top of but who are the many little helpers for soil fertility? and what do they need to survive? water is clearly critical for also as well as to thrive. of the food supply is also crucial. both are in short supply on many soils in brandenburg so it was a while adjust the quote showing him on his, on a sand dune, at the edge of a military train, an area she knows that's a desert is also a live. she has already found tiny survivors here such as spring tails. i'll be at sparsely populated. she says, similar to conventionally cultivated farmland, and aka had exist everything and these and i've used the fields conditions are
10:33 am
relatively similar to a desert and associates. i am not much in part of organic material because any produce ground is usually harvested and isn't returned to the soil. this means that resources, materials are extracted, but not much goes in and done. if only mineral fertilizers are used, there is no organic material for animals to break down applicants. but this meadow is teeming with diversity. the top few centimeters are full of life. it's easy to see in the dark or homeless and the sort of simple. lots of routes and organic matter. the tricks have to be used to your small insects. out of the soil. light and warm are used to entice the soil dwellers to move downward through the funnel. the 1st to crawl around our horn mites as
10:34 am
$20000.00 live in one square meter of field. they effectively decompose plant residues and animal faces. the small spring tail sometimes even appear on mass, but they are shy and split from light the name they like to live here in the dark. this light is dangerous for such small animals, which don't have much to counter the light solution. if they can perceive dark and light, is it so they can withdraw from the light ones the most diminished to look to see thread where it was also known as name and toads. are by far the most numerous soil dwellers. far out of 5 living creatures belong to this group of small wriggling worms. they decompose and transport plant residues in the soil.
10:35 am
can we have bacteria eaters? we have fungus eaters. we have l. g eaters and the soil tv, we have the bad guys that peers and stuck out the plant roots on holding all these nima totes accelerate the cycle of decomposition off the so that's all the ones that eat the bacteria and fun guy are particularly busy because they insure more turnover among the bacteria and some guy in fact, yeah, i don't impede some. so are they also work faster mountain done all you the i know all of i'd, shadow soils with high fertility are full of fungi and bacteria. me . they decompose particles into the smallest structures and make nutrients available to plants. hot spots are mainly in the roots area, where the finest fungal filaments connect with root ends. there is food for
10:36 am
everyone, and plenty of plants, sugars. biologists are only just beginning to the site for these previously unknown interactions. the today is an important day for brandon bergs chick be commissioner a run day, but when a field near trip in south west of berlin, high ranking politicians are part of the meetings. the stakes seem higher than at 1st sight the protein power crop, which is set to be both climate resistance and so friendly is of interest to the federal minister of agriculture, as well as a high ranking ministry official enter entourage isabella. because it takes the opportunity to promote her project just to me it is, but now i talked to farmers in the region. the more i also sense the dispatcher, they have questions about what would we still be able to grow in the future got
10:37 am
from from another very, very important point is cooperation. and we need an association of farmers in the region who say, we believe in chick peas, we will further develop them together because the campaign ship that the trip in agricultural cooperative is also a fan of chick peas. he's making falafel from last year's harvest. but it will only be served later after the minister has toward the field. meanwhile, the 2 farmers discussed their experiences with the leg him to farm is known for its willingness to experiment. this we some of us, your knowledge gained here one day benefit of all of german agriculture. i come from bottom booking back to where we have completely different conditions is much smaller. farm is lots of different soil situation bus to volunteer to me and guess what? the farmers, they are say to me is we're experimenting to come,
10:38 am
we're looking at shipping piece of we're looking at multi plan so we can add to our range of need it's time for the taste to your part of the event where the minister gets to try brandon berg chick peas. the next comes the less pleasurable part. the realities of farming, the seat fail to sprout in many areas. farmer young a gave out, blames the poor soil quality of the 5th. they're having an incredibly hard time here. if we look to the right left or front and back, the differences are clear. the answers have, it's really interesting. i'm. so when i look at the sand everywhere, it doesn't look so different at 1st. when you walk on here, you realize it's also quite dry. it's like a beach and you're going to send bits feeding. but yeah, that's right. that's what makes us different from the desert. understood how long we have a bit more rain fall apart from that. we have sandy soil here of 100 kilometers
10:39 am
to the east and fleet as doth band hot found a mob. it's as inspecting his chick bees. the rank of variety has sprouted really well. strong roads, dense rows. it's looking good. but it's the only variety and he's only selling one hector, a narrow strip. the rest is a total failure. 10 hector's of check be so in and vain. what's growing here and light green is a substitute sunflowers, evaluated by that row after row evaluated. you could take up the row and you could really see how every plant was broken. i went out every day and looked, dug and dug and realized, okay, they're starting to germinate and was like, ok, maybe it will work time and then your you for it off today. and then i wasn't here for the weekend advice and behind when i came back, i thought they should have been here by now. the situation in the ground was the same. like i'm never rotten it smelled of mold. they looked like they've been
10:40 am
eating molding. yup. shoes, i can see why is it the soil, or is it the type of check be the light that's institute for agricultural landscape research, analyzed, sorrel samples from fried his daughter biologist elizabeth fanning. hoff has a suspicion contagious. i'm to have of you off these tensor here. because we found fly larvae on the seats from the farms, and we want to catch them in these 10 systems so that we can identify them. and do you have sufficient, you can see it quite clearly here. cubic meter from here we caught them again, we have to find that they could be one of the reasons why the chick piece of ground . so poorly guns and we're trying to scan under the, at the end of the probably belong to the daily s. b, c's, orange, know, a past that feeds on chick peace. aids and chaps is um and nach. this begs the
10:41 am
question, why did the fly larva only destroy one variety, but ignore the other one? that's not, that's still an exciting on answered question one for now it's an observation and it could be that it has a slightly sticker shell, or also colorings and flavorings and the shell that deterred the fly. we don't know yet a perspective about service in spanish chick. these have been under the microscope here on moon ship back also in brandenburg for 3 years. now. one thing is clear, not all chick, these are the same. most of the one is leading the experiment. he became familiar with the crop back home in syria. this variety compared to the others. yeah. wow. what's the difference the, how does the payment option to you can also see that it's going to be doc or it's more or less the classic chick be. you know, the class is exactly the classic light colored one for the fun they are hopeful,
10:42 am
the crop will succeed here. is it always comes gus, i'm off but that's was the very beginning. and for the 1st 2 years, i monitor the weather from vida, how's the weather data? what does it look like and what is the best time to so i guess is it right for chick peas? the big glass you can compare the climb its like then with that of my hometown, a level, the most valuable buffer. it was almost the same building. even the level we don't have rain phone is more than 350 or 400. if all goes well, the situation today, and brenda burgis, similar in vandenberg, english with temperatures, reaching new records every year. growing seasons are shifting chick. these are clearly one way to adapt to the new conditions. yes, mazda dispatch. first of all, it's getting warmer. that's the main point to this. we understand that leads to more of operation company. that means we have less water in the system even if it
10:43 am
rains more in the future, that's the step of 12. secondly, there's a shift in rainfall with more in the winter months when we don't need to tell me what's done to my niece to call them. and then there's the fact that the weather phenomena are obviously changing in such a way that once the weather conditions are stable, they last longer does a ton artery, letting out the storm tom, my trees also help protect farm land and break. that's north west of berlin. at least one farmer is convinced trees. are the answer for the tricky soil if you could take some for us and put for the grandkids. he started planting rows of poplars on his farm land 5 years ago. and this sort of has already begun to change a process that usually takes decades. let's see to what's new display. we can see
10:44 am
that the routine of the saw. it was beautiful. here will nothing this. what so does he have we have we'd screen here, no problem. bucks. how big a bit deeper vines. it came up with some parts of it. yeah, yeah. and here we have the entire root system voltage. we have the leaves fold down and we have the shade. in other words of how the soil life will find completely different clay might to conditions here and developed much more intensively because because there was no intelligence of it. that's the kind of good was able to convince the owners of his land to allow him to plant forests on the farm land. this is unusual because every hector is valuable to the farmer. but that's exactly why he says he needs the trees. they help him with his work, 365 days a year. the
10:45 am
defense provides its entire over 17000 poplars here in boy. of course, it's much cooler here the night. there is nothing we have this evaporative cooling here, that all the trees are alive. nothing, yeah, we are treating me on quarter doors. the shopping clinical. and the nice thing is that as a conventional farm from the 9 i have an organic tree strip here, warms my heart stuff as well. there's new pesticides, new fertilizer. we use the trees of deployment of the let's see also do the animals, the height and the strips a surprising pump. and so this has nothing to do with the agriculture in between truck, but it's fascinating to see what happens here. the investor, the peasants fly from right to left on the form that we have partridges, and here's the field. and this is that the celebrated area. we can go to. it does wonderful things for the floor in front of the above as to the floor on phone. those skeptics claim the trees would steal the nutrients his weak needed
10:46 am
but his experience has been exactly the opposite. the grain grows just as well right next to the trees as it does in the field. what's more, the light so it was held together better, which helps prevent erosion. but wanted to see a feel good yesterday, for example, the dust didn't blew into the village. the roots of trees filled her entire column . these are effects that you're only noticed if you work with the system every day . it's all by sitting within this team, no. to hector's of trees on $140.00 hector's and farm land. how do we, how does that predict cooling on the trees provide shade and break the winds on line and the rows of trees just don't let the moisture escape? nothing is that something new machine can do the machine them up trying to go. thanks. trees are better than any sprinkler system. farmers and flaming have also started planting trees and their fields. young poplars grow
10:47 am
above one of mark dimensions, fields, serials will soon begin to sprout between the trees. but how is story a live supposed to restart after a build has been intensively farmed and depleted for years? mark has started making his own compost to regenerate the soil. plant residues, such as strong grass leaves, wood and clay become ready made homeless within 6 weeks. we see what smells like the forest floor, and that's how it should be most now. and that's a very pleasant smell. this is guns. i'm going to email fire. countless soil creatures help again to break down the material. there excretions form a kind of cement for stable soil structures. this is needed to better store water and nutrients. older sheets, so this is different from the compost. this is generally produced and that can be bought in hardware stores or elsewhere. was the coffin called?
10:48 am
this compost is a controlled compost, which means that the composting, the real thing, is controlled by adding walter every day and turning it slowly to keep it cool. you will, so would you like the boy falls over the temple i told we'd like to know the finished compost is spread on the fields like fertilizer. but is it worth the effort? if you take out the rain for a soil, he getting 5 centimeters organic matter, it's all okay. then there's a few centimeters of red soil phone and that results in grooves that we don't find in your open stephen box to lafayette nobody. nobody throws fertilizer. they are nobody players to for i wouldn't say that we need green forest here. we still have to harvest green, but we want to replicate that. we have to replicate this system. most news is listed in the emissions family has been farming here for over 400 years. his ancestors always struggle to bring in a good harvest. and now climate change is making things even harder. but do mission
10:49 am
wants to eventually pass the farm onto his son. the compost as a 1st step, but it's not enough for all the land. he has found a way to multiply the soil helpers. the method is called compost t. he leaves the compost in a kind of teabag and warm water for one to 2 days. he also adds a cup of honey and rock glower. the unusual concoction smells like molten beer and herbal tea. the microbes can't seem to get enough. you can't really see what it does, all right, but i know it's good because the plants are all very, very healthy. i don't need any more plan protection products in the form of the longest sites as hold on with the composite key, and it works very well. it has not yet been proven whether compost t promote whom is formation,
10:50 am
but marked him as soon as convinced or for him direct sewing catch crops and compost, he go hand in hand. he applies his infusion to his fields up to 3 times a season. a spring and on amazed field today, he only sprays at dusk or at night to protect a light shy bacteria from being destroyed by the sun. the instrument or real energy is created that we didn't have before mole just from living organisms on our entire cultures that are now starting to work, can take effect that weren't there before the front of the plant really makes use of it and continues to do what it does even in bad condition. in other words, it does when it otherwise wouldn't be able to do it because of heavy rain fold or a driving for extreme sunshine please. total height is the plant keeps its head
10:51 am
down and works to save itself as a history. so now we can assume that the plant will get back to work right after it gets hit with the plants team. both the things you can tell from what i put in front of the mark too much and used to have to spray expensive chemicals. thanks to his new method. you can now almost do without them. the climate change isn't just making the weather warmer, but also less predictable. healthy soil can act as a buffer. a heavy summer down poor falls on phillip elaina, outlands vegetable plants. the soil absorbs the water. after a short time, it is all seats away. philip also use this bacteria to help the soil. some of those in simmons for this like this is
10:52 am
a fermentation rejuvenates, the soil and it is. and what we think our son is already quite well revitalized, but we still want to give it a little something along the way. it had a good temperature. this takes 10 days or a week and toggle well, what kind you can measure the ph value, which i smell it is good if it smells good, we use it. for notes of us. your cellphone isn't fun, isn't it? i just hope that it's full of good bacteria to ship the item, which i can now add to the style that i'm stressing at the moment time it often vacating come. the fermentation is made from plant residues, for example, kitchen waste. but unlike compost is permitted by lactic acid bacteria in the absence of air. this produces a sour smelling liquid full of micro organisms and nutrients. philip regularly spreads of the concoction on his fields. luckily, guns and other farmers life that i'd do it by hand at
10:53 am
a snail's pace. they just use the tractors. they laugh at such home remedies anyway . the importance of good good bacteria for human health is undisputed. similarly, the realization that soil is more than just something that holds plants is gaining ground. it's a system full of life. organic farming leverages this knowledge. in the absence of chemicals, gardeners and farmers looked for natural allies, as well as good old fashioned trickery, the before the defendant. firstly, the plastic prevents the weeds from growing time. they start to germinate and then they don't get any light and then they die. that saves us a lot of work and get this in, and it gives the pumpkins and zucchini a lot of new arms this before you get off this about the water also passes through the plastic transition of the gun. this means that all the soil organisms feel
10:54 am
totally at home underneath and no birds can get at them. they are eaten, then have constant moisture and can also feed on the weeds in the compost that we brought in here. advanced cultivation techniques allow the idlers to grow a lot of a small farm and the story. it was also improving noticeably. so it's improved. now we're in our 5th year, i'd say we're starting to really notice that the soil structure is creating, resolved along. it's always a long process and then 10 years will hopefully notice that even more stack a. why don't more farms follow suit? the pair work from dawn to dusk during growing seasons, over time, physical labor and id. ology are all a part of it. lena and philip called their farming method, organic intensive. why not regenerative? a currently popular term to use, regenerative would be an understatement for what we do on this today,
10:55 am
