of their crop although bad for the air farmers say they often have no other alternative we have this report. india a land of burning fields. these have become yearly scenes as farmers set fire to straw or left over from their summer rice harvests to make room for their winter crops the practice is a major contributor to north india severe winter air quality issues and last year pollution levels in new delhi rose to nearly thirty times higher than world health organization standards suranne the banjo has been farming in the district of party for fifteen years. but last year's pollution crisis led him to rethink his farming practices. every year we used to burn the straw and it had a negative impact on the environment and now the government has put a restriction against this practice and some of us have tried to find a solution for it we want to protect the environment which i feel surrender solution is a chopping machine which he and another farmer invested around two and a half thousand euros in earlier this year that allows them to remove straw easily and put it back in their fields

we do it for the farmers. then i thought how am i assisting american agriculture by turning back and forward the hands of my clock every year? i asked some friends. they thought we did it for the farmers. a few of them told me that it was a government scheme. that's what we did it, the federal government. ten minutes of research taught me what it would teach you. the farmers with a group most vociferously opposed to say right dating in history of the country. they hated from the start bigotry to farmers use morning light. let's say they had three hours to get their eggs, milk and produce to the city markets. they needed the sunlight to do that. you turn the clock ahead by an outcome now they have two hours to do the same amount of work. how did i end up with the myth that farmers wanted daylight saving? what was the truth? those of the questions that drove the book. it's an old story, the problem of trying to control daylight. we all know that the amount of daylight changes almost every day. and every culture

grown leaves in an odd smell made apple farmer. suspicious bell and so on from mouse and south to roll soon realised something was wrong. and so here in the sump let them come and see that these leaves have been damaged but i have a song. and hashing this autumn just before the harvest for that someone sprayed these trees with life to say disappointed. novell and so on may be unable to sell organic apples from this orchard for years he's certain it was an act of sabotage. if that's my why. well i guess some people didn't like my activism for a pesticide free mas and organic farming this was. a good use villain so on and many other environmental activists want their village of mouse to remain pesticide free. in a two thousand and thirteen referendum the villagers made clear that they reject pesticides. and they don't want a monoculture of endless apple orchards. those already dominate agriculture and the economy in the valley below apple's generate about three hundred million euros in turnover annually. the provincial council or for

is hugely relied upon by farmers.here is controversy about extendining its license for five years. in appeals committee will vote on that renewal. the latest twist in the glyphosate debate at the eu that has been going on for months. sri lanka did not hesitate to ban that product when it was found to be limited to kidney disease and farmers. reporter: glyphosate once rereigned over these rice field. farmers would put the weed killer on their crops. was before. since it was banned years ago, farmers have not touched a drop. don't use itit anymore. i don't like this product. i don't want to die. reporter: these cousins say the product made their families and neighbors sick and contaminated the drinking water. it does toout what weeds. that was going into our water. the company said that this type of product is good for farmers and we bought it, because we did not know any better. the two: the older of now has a chronic kidney disease, along with 10% of the region for all i inhabitants. not all. yours -- not all doctors

so there is a problem for farmers now using that technique. what we do instead, we take images really fast of the plant and we say okay, this is a weed, this is a crop and we spray only the weed. that allows us to use herbicides that are not only the ones tied to the genetic modification, it allows us to use much broader set of herbicides, rotate them and in addition to that, re ddu the amount of herbicides by a factor of ten. >> one of the ironies of automation with all of this, as you make tractors more efficient, you could sell fewer tractors. wouldn't you? >> yeah, perhaps. perhaps. a lot of benefit in 24 othis on around using less herbicides -- >> i get that. but if it takes a farmer driving a tractor ten hours and takes a robot can do it at night, you know. fewer tractors. >> yeah, that is potentially right. in addition to that, it's part of again of a trend of machinery getting bigger and bigger. so you can think john deere or any other company for that matter has been working on making labor more efficient and being able to do more and

we have to work hard to persuade farmers of the advantages. that's the biggest challenge we have are trying to point out that it's for their benefit. progress is being made but it's slow india has set someone vicious goals by twenty thirty all public transport is supposed to be fully electric along with many private passenger vehicles the government is also looking to promote renewable energies to meet the country's huge power any. nuclear costs are going up. and i think. that works to our advantage that gets reflected. the this commitment that we are made that by twenty thirty we were the have forty percent if either tricity from now on fossil fuels are all doing that's unreasonable target i mean because already we are knocking on thirty percent but judging a pundit feels twenty thirty is too long to wait she's decided to start protecting the environment herself. so i have no first hand experience of what children go through when they're subjected to because why don't i begin initiative to do something for the environment. together with two f

farmers know the environmental consequences of crop burning but as long as it remains to keep this wayfor them to clear their fields it will be a long time before more buy into alternative solutions. and that's all we are a business terry of the daily struggle for syrian refugees in jordan that's right. jordan of course is one of syria's neighboring countries and it hosts many syrian refugees in fact it's taken in around a million and a half of them many live in refugee camps but most scratch out an existence as urban refugees in towns and cities the city of in a bid lies about ten kilometers from the syrian border and houses one of the biggest syrian refugee communities. d.w. correspondent tanya kramer reports now on a daily struggle facing refugees who fled syria as children. he should be at school but mohamed who everyone here. is working at a bakery instead his specialty is sweet pastries. the fifteen year old fled to jordan with his siblings and father four years ago. or study medicine i missed school a lot you're caught up in a bad situation but the alternative back home is worse

farmers are land rich but cash poor. they're not the ones that hire the teams of attorneys and accountants to get by with the system, who don't pay for the system. it's the farmers who have unexpected incidents much like the lady from south dakota. that happens day in and day out in southeast missouri. an average cotton farm in southeast missouri is 1300 acres. the average price for a cotton farm is $10,000 an acre. that's over $13 million. anyone in that bracket is a 1 percenter in what you said but yet they don't have $5 to their name in the bank account because they've passed on this land from generation to generation. you're saying we want to eliminate family farms. i can tell you the reason why i'm in congress is to make sure we have family farms and the people in southeast missouri can continue with their livelihood. i will not allow you to call my people one percenters and try to take back their family farms. i would love to yield the pla balance of my time to the lady from south dakota. >> i just wanted to give s

we trained 20 million farmers a year.ces help them greenhouse gas emissions by an average of 20%, reduce water consumption by significant amounts, and reduce pesticide use by using better pesticides and more targeted approaches. it is good for the farmer, good for the environment, and good for syngenta. mark: what do you make of the political focus right now on the likes of pesticides, on the likes of herbicides? e.u. looking-- the e.u. looking to extend a license on weed killer. how is that impacting the likes of syngenta and agriculture? erik: we are not a glyphosate company. we think it is very important to have open conversation with government regulators about what sustainable agriculture is. if you look at the need to feed the world and take care of the planet, environmental sustainability, it requires the right pesticide and seed technologies to do that. you have to have the yields and protect the plants against weeds, insects, and diseases. we believe our approach with a good growth plan is the right way to go. by

we re land grabs when mainly white farmers were being taken over on to mugabe regime.is dramatic news? great news for the people of zimbabwe. they have the people of zimbabwe. they have the chance now for a fresh start. i heard one describing it as their second independence compared with when robert mugabe won in 1980 and they had a landslide victory replacing white racist minority rule and greeted with delight by myself and greeted with delight by myself and many others who have struggled in the anti—racist struggle in south africa and elsewhere. so i think now there is a chance under a new president, the vice president taking over, a chance for him now to lead the country in a different direction and realise its huge potential. destroyed by mugabe. are you surprised that robert mugabe went in this way because he had been under so much pressure but hejust seemed to be so stubborn that he would not give into any of the pressure and then finally he did. his sense self dignity and pride has always been very important to him, anyone who had met him as i had done initially

consideration first of all is there real health risks for consumers but also are the livelihoods of farmers under threat can or should modern agriculture live without kill us let's cross over to deal catherine martin who is following the negotiations in brussels and joins us from there catherine why are they are now able to agree. well the main problem here in europe is really that there is we have conflicting studies and conflicting conflicting signs whether to life as it is harmful are not and in europe there are two kinds of schools of thoughts how to deal with that difficult issue there is one in group saying in doubt leave it out and the other group is saying in doubt leave it in and it in addition to that the to one of the main farming nations germany and france they are not on the same page which makes it really difficult to reach a majority frons us against germany is more industry friendly of a have germany as a industry look look asian and as a jain buyer and the potential merger of us once and in the early two thousand and eighteen just we can assume that there is a vital interes

when we ask for diversity of vegetables and fruits and more farmers and bigger farmers, it is because humanity's future depends on it. not because we want to have 120 vegetables to put in our risotto so we can charge you $100 a plate. it is deeper than that. it is by this diversity. this huge amount of diversity we are so likely to have. humanity is going to forever keep succeeding. that is why this is so important. >> going back to something you were saying about -- >> yeah, you can clap.

at the foot of mount kenya for example climate change is becoming more and more apparent the farmers here have been taking part in an irrigation project for the past four years growing bananas they used to be able to count on rainwater but that is a thing of the past. we didn't know anything because the. big and the and. and it was leading us nothing but it is. giving us money. despite the lack of rain there's still enough water here numerous rivers flow down mount kenya dams catch the water and channel to the fields the german development bank has invested about five million euros in this project. is it invest kenya here in west kenya we are actually in a very fertile region the problem is that our rainfall is becoming more regular and the farmers can't count on it anymore because of this project the farmers have water twenty four hours a day they can plant throughout the year and are no longer dependent on the effects the climate has on rainfall. climate change requires adjustment like the farmers planting bananas or the use of environmentally friendly power.
