A looming election join me Steve Clemons in conversation with leading voices on the bottom line your weekly take on u. S. Politics and society on aljazeera. Sustainable Food Production is one of the greatest challenges for the future. With Global Demand for food set to increase by nearly 70 percent by 2050. Aquaculture is one of the most polluting and ecologically damaging industries. If we want to keep food on the table without continuing to ravage our natural environments. We need to completely rethink how the industries work. And russell beard in finland where one restaurant is championing a hyper local circular economy to create a revolutionary approach to dining im asked for in the end its the scientists come back thing jellyfish do this by taking them out of the sea and on top play. In developed countries like finland its hard to imagine that were in the thick of a global food crisis. These helsinki shelves are stacked to the hilt with a wide variety of tasty treat a hair salon me. The worst a true cost of all this choice to our increasingly beleaguered planet reindeer spring roll. A global food system. Incredibly wasteful to use huge amounts of energy water and land to grow food and fly thousands of miles around the world only for much of it to remain in money its an incredibly inefficient and imbalanced operation. Of a post i dont know if my pronunciation is quite right but what i. Call vocal state ok so you can have anything around to see if you can get some statistics about the amount of food that is wasted so if you imagine this pool of bread is total food produced in the world weve lost 10 percent during cultivation 7 percent is lost after the harvest 12 percent which is lost during processing or point of sale and i know their level percent is lost after its been purchased i mean in total over a 3rd of the food the juice white is wasted just thrown away and i guess thats something shocking to me. A growing movement of pioneers are taking steps to fix this global problem. This is ultimately a 5 star restaurant aims to be the model of sustainability all the ingredients are local and all the process is are designed to do as little damage to the planet as possible eliminating all the polluting effects of industrial agriculture is the brainchild of chef henry allen for the uninitiated can you explain a little bit about what ultimate is and why what youve set up its all started when me and my colleague. Were taking the bins out and we were thinking like how can i mean we make this much waste how could we do the things better for the environment for the customer that is our biggest ambition one way to do that is by going hyper local in other words. Right here in the restaurant ive seen a vertical farm before but never in a restaurant have to say this is great the main thing about. System its hydroponic what circulates from up here the plant takes always the water all it from the roots ok its 95. 00 less water than conventional farming and the best thing for me in this idea is that we can cut the fresh herbs just before the service of every day there is minimal waste. Its very sweet and from the seed to fully grown in this system one week totally organic no person decides fertilizer nothing. Is based on the principles of circular economics where waste is seen as a resource this approach minimizes the need for transport water and energy and even forms lifestyle on slate edible Carbon Neutral crickets. Yes you know the idea of light in baltimore serve up over 1000. 00 crickets each week in their 5 star dishes with cricket larvae growing into fully grown adults within 2 months. This is the bigger home. Yes. So can you give us a sense of how the Little Critter is. This notion of a circular economy we can use all the stems of the salads or the peels of the cucumber if we feed them one way with basal leaves they will taste more basal and thats where we dont have to throw away thing away. Almost any. Mission is fundamentally about changing our attitude to the food to eat and preparing us for a future where meats like beef may not be so readily available. 100 gram of crickets. 22 grams of sure a protein. Say 99 percent less water and rolling beef. So their Carbon Footprint is its like nothing henrys also trialing a protein rich. The idea is a so innovative being seen as the future of Food Production on this world and beyond this is cost of this is also the 1. 00 thing that. Is interesting about this space agency yeah well you know this its a potato space and protect. Us called air upon it so the growth in the air oh yeah now that is something you dont see every day as it is wet yes. They still cant noise yes but this way you dont really need any soil the benefits about this is. 10 times more potatoes than a traditional way so this is this is for real for you guys this is not just a kind of a marketing stunt if we dont have to be millionaires we just need to you know grow things forward make people think. Were talking about. Certification change. Stuff. Later on henrys invitation. d but 1st to travel just want to down the road to see if these principles of circular economics can work on a much larger industrial scale. Its. Exactly. Breaks. Actor turned Farmer Robert jordan also has a vertical farm but this one is on another level. Group jackets its a different season in say disney. Like herb safari would we go means possible again some coriander i need to speak to you to have kind of a glass as well so this is entirely electric yes theres no no sunlight used to hold the wire meant a more efficient growth. Of all your yield is a much waste from an operation like this we grow in a you know biodegradable pulp so we have no plastics inside the growth area anymore everything is biodegradable. Goal is to prove that these hyper sustainable take needs could one day be in every city and town in the world transporting. The leaves on these peat that just around the world is not that clever it should always be produced locally and consumed locally i love that rather than taking the food to the plate it taking the farm to get it to the core of the book closed today if you want to get. You can see that theyre constantly working on improving the efficiency of the whole operation even this isnt truly waste because its going to get composting been used on the farms that say theyre reconceptualizing the concept of waste. My way back to ultimately henrys asked me to pick up some supplies for tonights Dinner Service 1st 150 come to the right place this fine. Are you doing what you do now you were growing mushrooms were growing oyster mushrooms on coffee west finish people are crazy about mushrooms and they drink a lot of coffee. Giant back then that is an absolute perfect specimen these are ready to harvest there will be harvested today actually we dont want to hold you up we love to give the. Team clicks use coffee grounds from businesses spray. The ground. Need to explode into light. Its. Amazing and you can just grab the whole cluster and then twist it until it comes off there you go. Thats enough to eat. We have Consumer Product our we call it the health sandy growcott and basically you see its the same as we have in our farm but this is so that people can grow it at home if youre a normal coffee drinker you can you can make do with your own coffee grounds i can imagine being quite magical to watch these incredible kind of peaches emerge and yet here in finland there is now quite active community of home growers encouraging consumers to grow food at home the kind of strategy that will reduce our dependence on industrial agriculture. Team of 3000. 00 of the kids and even run workshops to teach people how to grow fantastic funky. Alright so weve done. Mushrooms back to the restaurant going to cook them up. So whats the hand ready to go i already. Called im going to take the crickets. Oh my god what are your. Dreams and hopes which are good over there because the crickets are going up there and the mushrooms which are but. So its very local its about as low as i can get you know. You know fish at one of these little guys yeah. Right in case of prickly little legs yeah well. I think its. A really nice protein pretty yeah yeah really thank you thank you so much is this a share that you can use these ideas can go mainstream just what they want whether its you know the circular economy or the hyper local production or just the general transparency of the operation could start to see a globalised piece of film that is feeding the world and reduce. You know im no impact taps with. The worlds growing demand for food is pushing ever increasing pressure on natural resources. Food Waste Campaign is believe our environment may be close to breaking point food is the single biggest impact that humans have on nature we all deforesting the earth to grow more food is by far the biggest user freshwater the single biggest source of Carbon Dioxide emissions and the biggest reason why were in the middle of the mass species extinction event the 6th the planet earth has faced at least a 3rd of the worlds food is currently being wasted were talking about ugly fruit and vegetables on farms being waste because they dont comply with cosmetic standards were talking about huge heaving shopping oils the food which is just going to end up in the supermarket bins and the reason why. Is because the supermarkets know thats what triggers our response of taking and filling our basket even though week after week on average people are wasting 20 percent of the groceries that theyre buying in those stores its a system with entrenched waste within it we do have the power as individuals to waste less shift away from most ecologically destructive practices should give us hope that we can flick this enormous problem into one of the most delicious tools to tackle compartmental melt. With over 7500 kilometers of coastline italy has relied on the bounty of the sea for thousands of years. But hidden beneath this is your boat and environmental catastrophe maybe and away. Im a super furry neo and i finish shaphan food right for naming. 30 years. Italian cuisine is one of my passions so when i heard its these fishing morses were under threat i just had to investigate and here in southern mississippi where italians are facing a rather stinging problem. Jellyfish numbers are up by 400 percent in the last 13 years alone with the tentacle terrace swamping the coastline and damaging the delicate marine ecosystem. But sometimes one problem can solve another. Ive come to lead change to find out how jellyfish could help alleviate the impending food crisis becoming an ingredient in the italian kitchen. First though ive met up with marine pilot just took to stefano priorly who is researching the rise in jellyfish numbers there is Scientific Evidence that there are some increases as particularly in causal arias subject to anthropogenic impacts human impacts on the cause may produce an announcement of the frequency and their blinders of charlie fish. Dr stefanos Research Suggests jellyfish numbers are booming due to a variety of manmade fact. Artificial waterways but the suez canal which connects the red sea to the mediterranean are transporting new jellyfish species. Changes enabling these newcomers to survive with some the sea temperatures in the mad rising by 1. 15 degrees c. In the last 3 decades. How bad is the problem there ecological impact of jellyfish is equivalent to 2 miles from the salon and they are top predators so they can have an impact on the functioning of the marine ecosystem some cases so we have large elif ish wish to reach dance it is life up to 300. 00 or 400. 00 pounds per square. Meters along the coastline so this would affect particularly human activities life. Swimming along the course or fishery and even our cultural plants may be affected because in some cases the venomous china fish can kill hundreds or thousands of fish in a few days these booms are using local Fishing Industries and its estimated that in the north rarity they cost italian fishing fleet 8500000. 00 euros a year steffen and sent me north to the aquarium of genoa to discover how the creek tissue make reproductive process is really compounding the problem babies found when live near the village maybe a fish. Curator soviet lover on know is breeding thousands of jellyfish. This little she doesnt know about these potent pulsing creatures. Why are the jellyfish so efficient reproducing they are doing that relieve a huge a quantity of sperm and egg they feel alive in this that we have plenty of love all this can go on the bottom of this thing he said on the bottom and became a 4 leaf each fall if they relieved after division a very big number of jellyfish live in the room or that their fans saying they feel. Jellyfish a so prolific appraising to single adult can lead up to 45000 eggs a day these ancient invertebrates existed since before the dinosaurs and they inhabit every ocean and. Jellyfish swarms that decimated arre salmon fisheries and hit the tourist industry of a strain but one beach saw 13000 bathers get stung in a single week. But back in a chair ive heard that a Research Project is close to a breakthrough its called go jelly. This is our love. The internet and her colleagues aim to show food saying to her. That jellyfish are a safe plentiful food source. But serving poisonous jellyfish makes me a little nervous for their own safety its not you know were with the starving it just feels this because it just is this a different docs a compound so each jellyfish you will measure yes we measure the way after the frogs and like with the native origin in order to extract different venoms there is some jellyfish that could be left out for your son and jellyfish that are really say to antonellas Research Shows that most mediterranean jellyfish are perfectly safe to eat with just a small number needing toxins removed through freezing or simply by washing its giving me hope that this could be a genuine food for the future but if it has the challenges that you face in the year of jellyfish just consider it nice and. This could be changed if for starve them or stray that they are very powerful or a source of food that could be important for local fisherman local restaurants or for local economy is. If jelly fish meat goes mainstream here it could help prepare the ecosystems and retarded motions of this gelatinous mends. And with 80 percent protein and just 5 percent fat it could also become a highly prized alternative to me. Farming knife stock is responsible for 2 food 1. 5 percent of Greenhouse Gas emissions. Easing jellyfish as a substitute. It could help reduce the very Global Warming that causes the blooms. Already popular in much of the far east. But right now they cant legally be sold as food anywhere in europe. So antebellum has provided some jelly fish and sent me to go chinese collaborating share fabriano viva. Please can we cook with bass ok now call the no doubt i say i do yeah yeah. This is 2 different spaces of jellyfish this brawl is perfect to all roll all night about theres only coal to create the most tender jellyfish and aims to cook it slowly but 1st we wash it in an ice bath raising the head to ensure it doesnt lose the taste of the sea for piano avoids all seasoning no salt no purpose only or ok so look cooking this movie that is in the water about why did you decide to work with go telling me your will be good in all types it likely that every night here oh yeah. When the jelly fish comes out of the suvi its finished off in the oven the piano the vision for the future and for me that is truly truly exciting fusing traditional italian cooking with striking martin ingredients for beyond all plans to serve the jelly fish with spears of campari gin and parsley on a bed of italian leaves we have a taste it looks like its you. Its time for me to taste for pianos creation on the go jenny team has joined us to see the results for themselves. It truly magnificent. I love it i dont like it i love it still its just it really knows jellyfish is delicious with a very light seafood taste and the texture. But if jellyfish ok to make it on to dinner plates across the world the public will have to laugh with it which i had tried to. Do you can find the some of the things that people are looking now so not low calorie and also a good taste all the ingredients are for the food to be appreciated by the customer. I feel privileged certified jellyfish this has given me a taste of what the future might hold if we all get on board and find this new food then we might have a chance of progressing the damage we have done to our. Food pioneers around the world a planning the diets of the future. Globally over a quarter of ice free land is used for grazing animals. Causing enormous habitat damage. As a Californian Company may have a solution. The impossible. A soit based meat substitutes that looks and tastes just like the real thing. Meanwhile in israel scientists the farming mediterranean fruit flies as a source of protein. Using 99 percent less land and emitting just 170. 00 of the Greenhouse Gases generated when raising regular life stuff. And in new zealand produce. So making insects more palatable to western tastes by coating them in chocolate as. Time is running out to halt the Food Industries environmental destruction the challenge for us all is wherever possible to eat with the planet in mind and to choose our menus wisely to help prevent the decline of our natural.
