mineral fertilizer consists of nitrogen which plants need but mineral fertilizer has a totally different isotopes signature from bio for analyzer for instance we can determine this with our measuring techniques and thus ascertain the origin of organic or conventional farming ultimately this bio product also goes into fodder so an egg from a hen that has been eco reared and given bio fodder must also reveal this nitrogen isotope as long as the nitrogen isotopes have not been broken down marcus bona is able to determine the origin escape little some products like milk pose a problem in a cow is nothing other than a large bio reactor in other words we can no longer detect mineral fertiliser because the animal repeatedly changes these isotopes used to be martyrs. but with many other foodstuffs his method allows marcus boehner to determine what was used to fertilize livestock fodder all fruits and vegetables on its own though the choice of fertilizer says nothing about food quality. you can argue at length about quality but you must always remember that a bio product is a sustainable product

i just fertilized mine. the thing is, fertilizers are toxic. if you have an organic fertilizer that has nothing in it like insecticides and herbicides, then the main risks is that the item they use for the ingredients they use for the fertilizer actually can be, at minimum, --, cause stomach obstruction. if you have a labrador that wants to eat the whole bag of it versus a small dog, who i think chewing on it is just not healthy. everybody knows from watching the show that i prefer preventative care. i prefer that your pets not in that. but then we have to worry about insecticides and herbicides. those are actually more toxic. depending on what the product is in the fertilizer, it can lead to, again, minimally, stomach and intestinal problems but also neurological problems with get tremors and seizures and stuff like that. the rule of thumb is to keep your pets away when there is fertilizer. usually the fertilizer has instructions on it to keep your pets away from stepping on it. and then, if they do come in contact with it, obviously paid them

fertility awareness is to know, so as a woman you know during your cycle when you are fertile and when you are not. at any time during the cycle as a woman, i can know if i am fertile or not. as a couple we decide whether we want to achieve pregnancy or postpone it. >> the signs, we don't have to get into detail, but they have to do with the heat of your body, the fluids in your body. anything else? >> it's three signs. the cervical mucus, basal body temperature which is a temperature our bodies have when we are in resting mode. so when we wake up, the first thing we do is take the temperature. it was noticed i think by the end of the 1800s that the women's body temperature will rise by point 4 fahrenheit after ovulation. this was consistent among a group of women. >> i read that too. then more research in the '30s and '40s found other signs that made since. when pope paul wrote the letter much of the science was known. but the practice or systematic use of this as natural family planning was still being developed. is that right? >> yes. i read there were some studies released around t

it's going we don't use fertilizers and pesticides in organic farming but we can't just do nothing we have to strengthen the plants. we have to stimulate nature in the spirit of homeopathy that gives us healthier crops. for there's a big demand for demeter products in the middle it's an additional opportunity for our farmers here to produce the best possible spices and to obtain a proper price for them. to call it compiles to become. the spice farmers have always worked without artificial fertilizers and pesticides but these biodynamic compost substances are new to them the advantage is they don't have to invest any capital. is a big difference for me i wasn't familiar with some of the fertilizers but now my new colleagues have told me about them that's real progress i mean to say dia. dragged me away when i got it farming is better and more sustainable than other production methods that also require expensive fertilizers. or kooky. really moving you're going to hear that yeah organic farming only requires what's already available on the plantation with v.w. one hour we will go as in

cf industries is a fertilizer giant. fertilizers the news of tariffs for grains that has been initiated before today we have these continued fears it could hurt the company. in the near term this is an emotional response. right now it's growing season. in the fall, it could depend whether they make decisions about how much to plant and what. if you happen to the bloomberg of the soy to corn of the soy to corn ratio, we see it is on the decline. both pricing's are dropping. it may suggest corn could be stronger and cf industries produces nitrogen which is not produced by -- used by soybeans. how'd you reconcile those two facts? abigail: something that is happening here is the spring was very wet and cold. now there are reports the spring there is some catch up and better planting. investors looking towards that. relative to these tariffs, it will take time. today's reaction a bit emotional. we should have a better sense as to whether or not the numbers are hit here. mark: thanks for that stock -- vonnie: thanks for that s

but for that, you need fertile ground and good water. reporter: shrimp need saltwater, so the ponds have to be filled with water from the sea that's replaceded regulararly. the farms cause serious environmental damage. to prevent possible disease, the farmers give their shrimp heavy doses of prophylactic medication. when the pond water drains into the sea, it's taken up in the marine food chain. studies show aquaculture is increasing the worldwide danger of antibiotic resistance. wilian: the medications are in the food that the shrimp eat. it contains a wide range of different substances. but we only use antibiotics when the shrimp grow sick and the disease shows signs of spreading. reporter: in the last few decades, ecuador has become one of the world's largest producers of shrimp. ponds are harvested every three months, and business is booming. along with petroleum and bananas, the crustaceans have become one of the country's top exports. last year, just under 450,000 tons were sent abroad, bringing in $3 billion. and exports are expec

the interesting one is on the fertility weight-- the fertility rate. you may have seen the 2017 news on birth rates is much lower than people have been expecting. i think it's 1.75 children per woman expected in her lifetime. our long-term assumption is 2 women-- to my children per woman. it's the lowest it has been since what, 1970-- 1976? and one of the things we look at all the time his birth expectation surveys. we ask women how many children they expect to have in their lifetime and that has consistently been around 2.2. it's a little bit of a mystery why things were so low. lower birth rates are worse for the security program. recent data and it changes to our assumptions in the near term caused that -.08. mortality as i mentioned death rates are worse than expected which is good for the program. a few other economic things, i don't know if you want to go into this at this time? >> i think it was already mentioned our ultimate level of gdp has a very small effect here. we have lower interest rates and are taking a little longer to face up to our

interesting one is the fertile y i ity rate. you may have seen that the 2017 news on birth rates much lower than people have been expecting. i think it was about a 1.75 children per woman expected in her lifetime. our long term assumption is two children per women. so that is pretty low. it is the lowest it's been since, what, 1976. and one of the things we look at all the time is birth expectation surveys. we ask women how many children they expect to have in their lifetime. and that is consistently been around 2.2. so a little bit of a mystery why things are so low right now. so lower birth rates in general are worse for the social security program. it is not a good thing. so recent data and some slight changes to our assumption for fertility in the near term cause that minus 0.08. mortally as i mentioned, death rates are worse than expected which is good for the program. a 0.05 there. steve, do you want to go into the economics? >> i think they are probably already mentioned. think about how our ultimate level of gdp is lower
