consume it ok so there's a lot of diet dynamics there and just briefly if you want to do you see urban farming eventually becoming equally important then rural farming. so urban farming when you talk about hydroponics or politics growing plants without soil is a very attractive technique hydroponics what you think use is ninety percent less water than traditional agriculture and you don't need choice so you literally can grow it in your home in your back garden in also for poorer families they can actually know produce nutrition that they have access to but they don't have to buy in markets and they can even sell the surplus products so it's definitely one of those areas that could transform the world both investments but also for instance like think about climate change we will have more of these production methods that we need in future ok banhart the head of the u.n. world food program's innovation accelerator thank you so much. and are just some other global business stories making the news. bias shares have plunged after us profound to that a reach killer the company owns maybe links to c

on a larger scale urban farming has the potential circle seemed to security and unemployment but for the students growing their own crops is first and foremost a lot of fun. there's nothing quite as infectious as youthful enthusiasm here in africa and in europe too it's actually when it comes to doing something good for the environment at several schools in the german capital berlin students have been appointed energy managers if their job to ensure energy savings the kids quickly realise how easy it is to reduce carbon emissions and protect the environment and it's just as much fun as growing vegetables. the kids love this solar module not least because it supplies the energy they need for break time disco. it's got enough energy stored for twenty minutes of music. vincent and oscar however are too busy during break time to shake a leg they need to inspect the thermostats in their classroom they've been appointed energy managers at their school. their tasks also include regulating the temperature in the classroom and checking the quality of the air. if it's bad we wouldn't be able t

are all in asia and they keep growing where is all the food supposed to come from now some say urban farming is the key. vegetables from the factory many less water less fertilizer less crop protection and above all less land vertical greenhouses can fit just about anywhere even in the middle of cities like indonesia's capital jakarta in asia produces have been experimenting with high tech cultivation for years and not just for vegetables but also for protein meal worms or crickets for example can be produced in an urban environment and have significant advantages over traditional meats. for example only fifteen square metres is needed to produce a kilogram of insects per kilo of beef you need seventeen times that much space and when it comes to water all food consumption there also vastly more efficient. so our city born tech companies the farmers of the future in two decades time they could be nine billion people living on a planet today's agriculture won't be enough to feed them all. it's to south korea now and the country is battling high levels of air pollution problems driving up share

thihink it was veryry surprising and instructive to think critically about urban agriculture and question whether truck farming or r rooftop gardening or vacant lot farming or windofarming, growingg food onon boats, , whether ththis isd idea or not. f few of these farmers were suggegesting that these were the sololutions to or globalal food proboblems. but it was sllll helpfulul to sy , because we doing this it sheds a lot of lilight on wht we need to in cities. a lot of people are growing food in cities because they miss working with their hands, and theyey also missss the taste o f freshly y grown food. on a larger scale i think a lot of people are grgrowing food in cities because we e like the ida of being able to live in a vibrant sosocial environment b t not bebe totally divorced from e natural world. farmers are all part of this project to figure out what cities of the future could and should look like. # a familily of unusual farms truck fafarms as a family now mymy lononeliness isis gone andy vegetables are here and soon we will be planting #gaiain >> truck andnd window farms provide healthy produce, b

urban and rural. just months ago we signed a historic bipartisan farm bill, very pleased to help lead that. in this budget, the president cuts 31% of the farm bill programs that we just passed. and another 15% from the department to be able to help administer it. he kills community development block grants which are so critically important to communities, large and small, to create jobs and improve communities. and i have to say, on behalf of michigan, he once again guts funding to protect the great lakes. 90% of our -- 90% of our freshwater of our country surround mize beautiful state and -- surrounds my beautiful state and eight states and this president turns his back on the great lakes states. and protecting our water. so, no matter what your opinion going forward on any individual effort, it is absolutely true that this budget turns its back on the people of our country. let me just say one other thing. in terms of rejecting the president's emergency declaration to fund his campaign promise. no matter your opinion on border walls, it's the job of congress, the job of congress, not the

urban centers. we have rural farming communities. we have manufacturing cities.althiest and some of the poorest communities in the country. and overwhelmingly, people care about health care. they care about the future of health care. when i was campaigning, people wanted to know about education and infrastructure. gun reform was a top priority for many people in my district and in my community. and i'm happy to say that despite what you hear reported about division within the party, we have been singularly focused on those issues we ran on. we pass hr-1. we passed hr-8 and hr-11-12 for gun reform. we passed the voting reform. in my committee on education and labor, paycheck fairness, raising the minimum wage. $100 billion school infrastructure bill. for the first time, we had the secretary kirstjen nielsen, in to answer those questions about caging children at the border. so despite what people are saying, democrats are focused on the agenda, and lucky for us, we have people who know how to walk and chew gum at the same time. because as things come up, we're deal

where a house was built 100 years ago, just pick a number, and when an area might be farm land, there wasn't the urban in-fill that existed today, and then, the urban in-fill occurred, and still, in this situation where there's a cottage in the back or another building that was built in the back. 100 years ago, who was worrying about access to the street? you are more worried about the cows that might attack you while you were interrupting their feed. but what happens in situations -- what's your experience in situations like this where the -- there's a very historic precedent of a residence behind another residence and things like lot lines may not have even been in existence, and then suddenly, they are, and then, suddenly, you know, 100 years passes, and 40 years passes, and as this -- the appellant has owned the house for 40 years. and then suddenly, it actually matters. how have you dealt with these things historically in and i'm sure this is not the first time. >> first, it would be a question if there's actually an easement. in the 100 or so years that this has been going on, was there ever an

farm family. and to look to the future we should look to the past, to see again in this new century a new connection starting to occur. between the urban and the rural. this diversify case of our farm family is happening rapidly. so we importantly are no longer talking in the language of producers and consumers but rather in terms of connecting the farmer to the family. you can new meet your farmer at the local farmer's market. that's a level of intimacy not seen since the early days of agriculture in america. and this desire, what's at stake here, madam speaker is this desire to bring people closer to their food and into an authentic relationship with those who grow that food. agriculture is creating an exciting new entrepreneurial space. and we have seen a real uptick in young people entering the ag field. young people are being drawn to agriculture through exciting new iches including artis anal foods -- artisal foods and crops and they never sit off to the side in their sylow, they're intertwined with environmental science and conservation as well as international development. restaurants that focus on locally sourced foods are als

farm bill. democrats are urban parties. part of this is learning the language.ll have not talked about seed monopolies in iowa. when the price of corn seed years, that is good. part of democrats problem is they do not talk about it, they do not have a vision, they do not articulate it like republicans do, to some degree. host: let's go to wyden from ohio, who lives in a rural area. good morning. caller: good morning. thank you for taking my call. this is a big problem. i know it is all over the place. farming isporate undoubtedly one of the most highly subsidized industries, from cotton, just like the tobacco used to be and that kind of stuff, and after tobacco basically landed on a dud with all the settlements going to the lawyers and the big companies and that kind of stuff, people are just devastated. most will talk about the influences of the corporate entities that really kind of impose on that. you have got the american soybean association. you have got the farm bureau and that kind of stuff. it is great if you are a corporate farmer and you are labor on c

instead of open discussion of what we do in urban environments and other communities and rural communities to make sure. farmor whatever? whatever dwhat do they do they resolve the issue they don't write a paper. brian: even though minorities are contributing less to the overall problem of air pollution they are affected more. is it fair that i create more pollution than somebody else that's disproportionately affected by it? that's the question they want to solve. >> you know, stupidity, lack of logic and scientific method. but the problem is they never get us to the real discussions about what to do about these communities. this is a problem. steve: what's the answer there. >> the answer is to really do what we have done in this country. we have used technology. we have made factories cleaner. made communities cleaner. we have made cars cleaner. our technology is advanced over the decades. our communities are better. now let's go help other countries other parts of the world because last time i checked air doesn't stop at a national border. brian: watch every day on fox nation. is that okay? >> you got it

farm areas are -- have been a bit tougherer for people. we're not in them as much. the reality is that there's been a rural to urban move in america. nature of work has change. but that's a decadeslong process. we feel good about the markets we're in we don't see any weakness. we see strength in all markets what we see is more strength in some markets the silicon area, nashville, or los angeles, parts of florida, parts of but overalh economy grew nearly 3% last year as best as we could tell we'll see when it finalizes that and think it will grow between 2% to 2.2% this year which is the fastest growth as most of the year since the recovery and we'll take advantage of that >> it's not 3% but finally, what does brian moynihan do for st. patrick's day? >> i do what everybody else does corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, carrots and have a good time with my family >> sounds great. thank you so much for joining me today. congratulations again. >> thank you >> brian moynihan is the ceo of bank of america. >>> coming up, we've got key votes on brexit that are 'll ening right now. weget the very latest on the situation. we'll be back in two no

certainly the urban/rural split is a big part of polarization. as i mentioned before, i grew up on a dairy farm for the first 20 years of my life, lived in the country and was very conservative in terms of both politics and religion, and then moved to the city and got an education and taught in a liberal university. there are huge differences on the issues. you mentioned gun control. you mentioned about gratian. the role of really -- you mentioned immigration. the role of religion is very important. the state of the economy is different. most prosperous places in america is urban america. when amazon tries to find a new headquarters, it didn't go to the midwest or rural areas. it went to new york city and washington, d.c. all of that kind of reinforces that divide and intensifies the anger that is out there because the people who live in places that are being left behind economically are upset, and i understand that. they are right to be upset. that certainly is a big part of the polarization. the media angle is very important as well, especially the social media. many americans now live in a w
