report on land says land use globally including agriculture is responsible for 23% of human greenhouse gas emissions and that emissions from agriculture are increasing. what is your plan to protect farming communities in the midwest while at the same time addressing how our food systems contribute to climate change. >> i've been spending a lot of time many iowa. i love the state a great deal. another thing about running for president. we need to help farmers modernize their land use in terms of the environmental impact. and once again, this is an issue around economic incentives being in one direction and what's good for society in the other. we have to try to bring those together by providing economic incentives and resources to help farmers modernize? rotate plant crops and try to measure the impact they're having on the environment. the big issue in the farming community, the mom and pop farms are being gobbled up. instead of a beautiful vision of a family farm you have in your head, it is some mega farm conglomerate from automated tractors as far as the eye can see. so the goal in

$117000000.00 tonnes of gas emissions and don't forget the agricultural sector which adds 70000000 tonnes of methane and nitric oxide to germany's greenhouse gas emissions so pretty much all industries crucial to our way of life simply producing too much greenhouse gas emissions something has got to give and want or for more i'm joined by falcon hill my he's the chief analyst at so they can invest and here is good to have you with us please tell me we know that germany needs to cut its levels of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 who's going to pay for it. well let me start it's our task to turn a global risk into a national and global shots and of course so the government will have to pay for it partly by and vestments and the corporate sector will have to pay as well as a private hospitals the important issue is that these costs basically all of this money being spent is spent and then invested manna and not in the consumptive peten that is a point how we can overcome the obstacles county being politically discussed so the investment that needs to be done is to be sustainable and actually focused on reducing c o 2 emission now is the busin

housing and industrial buildings as well as the agricultural sector so pretty much all industries crucial to our way of life simply producing too much greenhouse gas emissions something has got to give questionis what well for more i'm joined now by far my he's chief analyst at a solve a call and invest good to have you with us so germany needs to cut its levels of greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030 who is going to pay for it. well let me start with as one basic idea it's a big risk the world in germany and europe is running was the global warming but the tosca is to make out of a risk that chance who's going to pay well it's the government it will pay by lower tax income for instance by giving tax incentives it will be the corporate sector which may be taxed for a greenhouse emissions and it will also be the public sector of the households which pay more which will pay more for energy forms so it's a big effort the big issue is about this theme that we are not moving into an i view a logical debate but that we remain pregnant tech we need to remain pragmatic because in order to pay for all this we need an economy that is still functioni

nation, farming animals is one of the most dangerous sources of greenhouse gases and water pollution. >> right now most of the agricultures there to feed the animals. >> reporter: this is a billionaire investor in so-called food technology, including what he calls clean meat made in the lab. >> we need to change the way agriculture and food are being produced. >> reporter: humans cannot continue to eat the way we are today? >> no. because the planet will not sustain it. the beauty with celless meat is once you establish the cell bank, you don't need the chicken. so theoretically, one chicken can feed the world. >> reporter: at supermeat, the ceo explained how they extract stem cells from chickens, whose stem cells can become any type of cell. so by tweaking the mix of proteins and amino acids, they can direct them to become whatever they need, muscle, fat, or connective tissue. >> inside it looks very similar to sort of artificial womb. >> reporter: and he adds they'll be able to produce exactly the cuts of meat desired. a vegan himself, he think there's is also potential for consumers who object to killing an animal. >>

agriculture is responsible for 25% of the greenhouse gas emissions. was reported in the last report. the good news is that not only agriculture can reduce emissions by a sinking carbon into the soil which makes it more fertile and resilient to the effects of climate change. it is the same tactics, for adaptation and mitigation to climate change. the net possible outcome in the long-term is that agriculture can only suit dues -- kent not can -- this ist what i'm trying to do with my company. the goal of this soy to soy carbon cycle in 2033 wishes not a joke because we celebrate our century anniversary in 2033. i would like to reach this symbolic harvick of being -- symbolic target of being carbon free by then. francine: there's been talk about some of the growers trying to scale them up. are you worried we could see something like a shock if there is a premium? shock. not really a coffee sector has always been cyclic, every 10 years we have low prices which leads to a decrease in production. then the demand makes the price increase again. it comes with

greenhouse gases. which is an incredible number. go ahead with your question. >> it has been linked to agriculture and the overproduction of crops.al countries have changed the dietary guidelines to reduce the consumption of red meat in light of the impact of climate change. if elected, will you be supporting change in dietary guidelines? and then how do you plan on implementing the changes so people effectively change their diets? >> thank you, for your work on the question. i think of the point that you're raising in a broader context, which is that as a nation we have to have a real priority at the highest level of government around what we eat and in terms of healthy eating. because we have a problem in america. we can talk about all that we are now, the subject of this conversation, we can talk about the amount of sugar in everything. we can talk about soda. we can go on and on. so the answer is yes. i'll also say this. the balance that we have to strike here, frankly, is about what government can and should do around creating incentives and then banning certain behaviors. to be honest wurgs i love cheeseburgers from time to

agriculture, forestry and other use of land account for an estimated 23% of total human generated greenhousessions. a significant part come from live stock raised to feed our heavily meat-based diet. the animals create methane by belching and other actions while they digest food and it's 37% of human-caused methane emissions. 65% of human-caused nitrous oxi oxide emissions. it's also the leading cause of deforestation. 80% of the global deforestation is done to clear land for crops and live stock, removing the trees that could help absorb the carbon we spew into the atmosphere. that's exactly what you've been seeing in the brazilian amazon. a lot of those fires are thought to have been caused by clearing land for grazing. globally humans use nearly 60% of all the land capable of growing crops to grow food for livestock. while sharply reducing the number of live stock could cut carbon emissions by billions of tons, doing so would require huge changes to the way we eat. in his new book, it argued that saving the planet will require a huge sacrifice that will change what we eat and don't eat. >

tushes out world agriculture produces 2.2 times the greenhouse gases of every car on earth. you know if you had this type of technology around the world it would be equal to removing every car off the face of the earth. and yet this is g.m.o. because it was produced through the -- the fix was done through a type of synthetic biology. but it would equal removing every car off the face of the earth. these are joyful thought experiment bus the technology is real and it's here. we have to figure out as a body how we adopt these things that it proves we can grow as a society. we can grow economically as a world my little 4-year-old or soon to be 4-year-old little girl can have an amazing future we feel don't have to be terrified about the debt cliff that's going to crush us because we grew. and we can have the amazing clean environment and deal with the issues of greenhouse gases. are we ready to pull our heads out and actually do that crazy thing of reading and math and understand the technology disruption that's in front of us? madam speaker, are we ready to adopt, embrace the

agriculture? >> absolutely. we feel it is a tremendous opportunity to apply the new technologies to disrupt it and provide a return. it is also a polluting industry. >> absolutely. >> synthetic fertilizer, that industry produces 10% of global greenhouse gas conditions. if we can attack that and make it more profitable for farmers that's a win/win. that's the type of investments we at data collective like to make. >> you have raised your fifth --? >> our fifth flagship fund our eighth overall. >> dcvcv. >> five, dcvc five. >> thank you for joining us. back in just a minute. >>> welcome back to "press:here." i was reading your articles. i want to start with you kristen. you wrote an article about there are these new drug companies, hims is one of them, roman is another that is selling -- i will remind you this is a sunday morning program, selling pills to men for their various needs or things that they need to improve in which it is the real drug. the generic for viagra is -- it's actually legit, right? >> yes, it is. the company sells other drugs. they are also targeting women selling drugs for sexual health, birth control, all kin things, skin care products. >> but they are selling them for so much more. if i would go the my doctor t

but says mostowa, the dnr of the greenhouse gas emissions come from the conversion of fields ton our nitrous oxide. that is the biggest contribution here in agriculturalmunities. kenny spiegel little bit about how you can help us with that -- can you speak a little bit about how you can help us with that? mayor buttigieg: yes, thanks. could everyone here the question? what are we going to do about climate change? this is important for me because i'm also thinking about what kind of world i'm going to live in in 25 years. i expect, lord willing, to be here in 2050 and i propose that we become a carbon neutral economy, and we will be accountable for whether we got the job done. this has become a matter of justice between generations. the longer somebody is planning to be here, the more their life depends on us ensuring that climate change doesn't make our communities less livable, our waterways less full of life, and really constraining the extreme weather. this is not just happening on the north and south pole. this is not just happening on the coasts. it is happening right in the middle of the country. we had to fire up our emergency operations center

greenhouse gas emissions come from the conversion of nitrogen in our fields to -- and converting that to nitrous oxide and that's the biggest contribution near africaal communities. can you -- agricultural communities. >> was everybody able to hear the question? she's think of her two-year-old grandkid and what kind of world will he live in and climate change, and this important for me because i'm think what kind of world i'm going live in 25 years. i expect lord willing to be here in 2050 when i propose we become a car mon neutral -- carbon neutral country and be held account everyone this is a matter of justice between generations because the longer somebody is planning to be here the more their life depends on us insuring the climate change doesn't make our communities less liveable, the waterways less full of life, and really constraining the possibility of making it with increased frequency severity of extreme weather, and as we know here, this is not just something happening on the north and south pole, something happening on the coasts. it's happening in the middle of the country. live in a river city and we had to fire up our emergency operations center twice to deal with floods

agriculture is capable of providing and what the fish that we want to eat, want to eat. >> reporter: novonutrients can revolutionize how we feed farmed fish. co2 is the greenhouseimate change worldwide. novonutrients is turning co2 into fish feed. it's made from bacteria that eats co2. >> we take industrial emissions and through a microbial process turn them into a high-proteinin greed yengt. >> reporter: the guinea pigs in this experiment are sea monkeys, those shrimp on the back of comic books. they are now testing it on other species, starting with fish but with an eye and mouth toward other animals as well. >> that can go into feeds for fish, chickens, pigs, even some day for people. >> food is one of the main products that we're focused on, and that's mainly high protein food ingredients. >> reporter: novonutrients scaling up operations. the company hopes to have its fish food commercially available by 2021. >> it is remarkable. now, we do want to hear your ideas about building a better bay area. you can share them by joining our better bay area group on facebook. >>> sounds like it's going to take time to build a cooler bay area. >> yeah, let's get the fa

most of the greenhouse gas emissions comes from the conversion of nitrogen that we apply on the fields and converting to nitrous oxide and this is the biggest contribution here in agricultural communities. can you speak a little bit about how you can help with us that. >> was everybody hearing the question? she is thinking of the 2-year-old grandkid and what kind of world he is going to be living in, in 25 years and what to do about the climate change. and this is important, because i am thinking of what kind of world i am going to be living in. i expect lord willing to be here in 2050 when i propose that we are a carbon neutral economy and held accountable for whether we got the job done. this is becoming a matter of justice between the generations, because the longer that somebody is planning to be here, the more their life ensures that climate change does not make the communities less livable, and the waterways less full of life, and really constraining the possibility of making it with increased frequency and severity of the extreme weather. as we know here, this is not something happening on the north and the south pole or on the coast, but it is happening in the middl
