this is valuable produce can be supported very quickly and with all the resources needed to grow it how can we change this that's what we'll dig deeper into the hello welcome this is eco india and i'm sunk that i could. it's not of various sites that a bounty of harvested crop vaults because it remains uncertain and is not stored properly the software sets off a vicious cycle of food scarcity and high prices simply in no way should at the start of this chain of events could break this cycle and that's exactly what in the great tech company in the state or will drop is doing let's take a closer look. at. a farmer and gawker keno usually harvest his leafy vegetables through the night by 6 in the morning they need to be ready to hit the markets on a good day he misses his entire produce. yes but that. when we are unable to sell the produce we have to bring it back home and the next day we can take it back because no one buys it that is lost are. like danish by the majority of small farmers in india are forced to throw away some of their crops because they don't have any means to cool them more than 30 percent of the country's agricultural produce goes to waste every year. that amounts to a loss of over 11000000000 euros. california which. wants to remedy the problem last year the social entrepreneur started working with local farmers like the women farmers federation in particular. the overarching issue that we found on our own with our experiences in actually supply chain especially in horticulture force one model farm was their tendency to just sell of the produce the same day that they harvest in some cases they're going to harvest produce that was ripe and ready in the feed on the because they were not getting any price for that. so one of the key elements that was we failed in facility at the farm get. nearest moratti founded its own company. with the help of the women farmers federation installed a cold storage in concord in mid september 1900 and began educating the farmers on how to use a lot of. after studying the cultivation and harvesting patterns of the region it was decided how much cold storage to villages required now it can refrigerated up to $4000.00 kilos of produce at a time the farmers have been able to increase their income by around 30 percent. before they were kind of selling it by the beside the roadside and all of that now they were going to get to collect on a day so new to the market the next day or after a couple of days when they see that prices are getting those prices in laos on a short duration that they'll be in the system for the feedback has been really good. you know is a tribal village in the heart of district of. home to a few 1000 people most are small holders like 65 percent of the families in india. sorry lebanon has been working the land for 30 years she just wrong supporter of the new storage facility. all of us have to back the crops carefully in large baskets and load them onto a truck. now because of the cold storage facility we can keep our produce for longer. we don't necessarily have to take it to the market every day obviously. we've definitely benefited from this. oh you know our produce used to go bad. but now we can easily keep it in here for 2 days. this has made a huge difference. on days when the going rate at the market is low we can store it in here and sell up to us when the read has picked up from there then. this place is a family home. so look i know supplied a facility with free electricity good crop owns it and the farmers paid rent to them the firm gets a return after 2 years. the farmers learn how to regulate the temperature of the storage but. different produce a different kind of temperature and if they want to store it for longer duration than they need to adhere to that particular temperature and humidity range that any historical and that's. based interface allows them to do the storage and get the sorting for like $34.00 days there's an h. o. which is good for all kinds of produce being stored with it as well. the phone now has toting operational cord stores in india the company charges farmers a maximum of one euro cent per day to refereed to produce the exact amount depends on how frequently they use the facility and how much his store. 45 have used the facilities so far. everyone has benefited the neighboring village also wants a facility like this after looking at how much it has had with avi how good a. good crop aims to install 200 units nish invite over the next 5 years but the start up also hopes to maximise the smallholders profits in other ways found a new rich marotta is developing market analytics offered. predict short term fluctuations in crop prices to help these women get the best possible price for the fruits of their labor. there's so much potential for innovation in the agricultural sector especially when the arable land we have access to is diminishing every day open farming is gaining more and more traction because of this what it often can't produce to ski because of a lack of space or inadequate access to light unlike your company in the netherlands is experimenting to replace sunlight with l.e.d. lights in indoor greenhouses let's see how. the earth is home to some 7600000000 people the majority live in cities green spaces are shrinking. how viable an option is in farming for example green houses led by lamps even in buildings without sunlight. any day light bulbs provide illumination by day and night and the plants compete harvested at any time of the year. becoming standard lighting solutions in greenhouses they have long been undergoing testing here in the netherlands in the look barratry of a signify it's europe's biggest lighting manufacturer and a spinoff of dutch technology giant philips so far the company has equipped around a 1000 greenhouses with systems here 4 callers inside so it's red it's blue it's white then it's far out ahead of far it is typically pretty are known to us because it's outside of our i sensed a particular. indoor farming is a market with huge potential. to guarantee predictable and controllable harvests. so what you see over here is a dynamic light. picture that can change in color and by changing the color during the trial or just before the end of just before harvesting we can for example influence the bricks value of strawberries so that's the sweetness of the strawberry but also make it a little bit more hardy or show that it's better to transport. the company calculates the particular light fixture its customers need and savings can be achieved by just using red and blue light which produces the magenta color here. the mix depends on the plants and the ambient light greenhouses in siberia for example has less sunlight than those in spain. market is growing super fast and if you look at the different reports that are out in the market you see a real trend that the lights are becoming more interesting also it's not because they don't make money that companies like are growing fast in russia would by $25.00 factors and $25.00 factors it's around 400 kilometers of the lights and that was the biggest project we did to date. another customer that has bought the lighting systems is the dutch tomato farm vin pater's its greenhouses measure 16 hector has an area amounting to something like 20 soccer pitches. the crops are illuminated by magenta l.e.d. light from below and from above by high intensity high pressure sodium h.p.'s lamps the company has invested millions the tomato vines grow to an amazing height of 6 metres the growers need lifts to reach the tops using the l.e.d. lights the company can achieve larger and more constant harvests than without the lighting. we have the positioning of the in the middle of the crop. research. must be about 80 centimeters to one metre. below the top of the plans because the top of the plant is affected by the h.p.'s lightning and the lights. and the one meter below the effect of the daylight. is gone. tomatoes are perishable they can be easily transported in container ships from faraway countries . but they can be easily grown in greenhouses. thanks to the l.e.d. lights they can harvest more 20 tons per week even in the middle of winter. very sweet. but what's important is that the taste. stays in your mouth for a longer time so this not only the taste is gone immediately. you get a certain bites of the tomato. of course lighting the plants all year around uses up lots of energy as does the heating via the pipes that run between the plants on the floor to generate a company maintains a gas fired power plant and that highlights a major disadvantage of this kind of farming the energy cost of producing artificial sunlight outdoor farmers at the sun for free. we often notice that on the one hand there is an abundance of food thanks to the many innovations in the agricultural sector but on the other hand medians of people go to bed hungry every night i recall heat of this week has been working towards channeling excess food in the city of mumbai to those who need it the most. in a country like india with a population of more than 1000000000 almost 200000000 people go hungry every day. against such stark numbers with feeding every hungry stomach can go a long way a retired

think that. with a truck to 14 are all pushed on hope line number and a fleet of pickup bands banking show host of the food collected is distributed within. the initiative has also identified hunger pockets across the city through mapping systems so that no time is wasted we have one of the 1st. in finding out the hunger we cannot distribute what. all engineering staff college students we do not fill it out forward into all. we give it in such a way that it's popular that it's distributed to the media. since its launch in december 27th to. 350000 people in mumbai over the next few years it

an organization in the city is trying to create among. to tackle. poverty it's what drives these people to look through sacks of garbage and for something to eat they've been sifting through the waste since early this morning. the food doesn't have to be appetizing it just shouldn't make them sick. that back in take it it is spoiled i take it home and watch it for less than ben caucus . philippo balder feeds her family with food that someone else has thrown away the term for such scraps in the local language tagalog is pagpag about 13000000 people in the philippines can't afford 3 meals a day

food they prepare. to receive you are wasting a lot of resources that is what is on the tree and some just if you. think keep you close the process will transfer much stronger history you would so on obesity is hard once you get into that. melody mello reich runs the sustainable production and consumption project of the n.g.o.s w w f l o pains she advises restaurants and hotels on ways to reduce waste today she's visiting the resort town of to gate 10 it's about an hour and a half drive from manila members of the city's growing middle class like to spend the weekend here chilling out and eating while the picnic grove is a park where people do exactly what the name suggests many bring along food from home it's a culture thing so we we always find excuses to get together so we can can share food this is one way of us are a lot of want to find me with the friends. increasing prosperity goes hand in hand with growing wastefulness an estimated 300000 tons of rice are thrown away in the philippines every year. modernize willow is doing something to combat that he's a cook who prepares healthy dishes at a spa hotel. as we know is determined to minimise waste he uses every part of a vegetable that can be eaten and compost organic waste and he takes other steps as well. but the best actually the best ways through portioning are used to serve the big questions about dishes and a lot was wasted so we decided to downsize all portions. modernize will always involved in the project run by melody mellow reich she often explains to chefs how wasting food is bad for the climate. when you have always and they end up in landfills they became natural in the end the produce more pull with the greenhouse gas in the form of methane which is more than 20 times stronger than carbon dioxide in trapping heat in our atmosphere. in the hotel whereas where low works even offers its guests tours of its own kitchen garden serves as i bring forward and for the if we can do we have here phase as well as cooking classes. as we know teaches guests ways to avoid generating waste when they cook at home. and. he also recommends using parts of plants that are usually discarded like banana flowers. or making fries out of potato skins. or soup out of onion skin and. right now i can like i should have you then i. am part of the party that i have before and now i know more. i think i should be modified to boil it in cooking very thing and of course classes at a luxury hotel don't reach a wide audience and large volumes of food will continue to be discarded across the country but there's now a bill before parliament in the philippines that would oblige food manufacturers restaurants hotels and supermarkets to donate surplus edible food for distribution by food banks to the needy. for no though huge amounts of discarded food still end up in a dump in the district of. waste pickers here look for things of value in the garbage . phillippa vida usually find some food that looks at a bowl she started working as a waste picker 2 years ago after her husband died the burden of feeding the family so completely on her shoulders. the 1st thing she does with the chicken she retrieved from their breath years is boil it to kill the bacteria. then she fries it with onions and serves it to her children and grandchildren or suffer . a little. here you either have to work or you don't like that i'm sure it would be better not to have to eat this but it's this or nothing. life start. her family will probably have to continue living off discarded food but receiving it from a food bank would certainly be better than pulling it out of a pile of garbage. she says bolting stench is something you never get used to. conventional patterns of food production are changing rapidly due to climate change often intriguing these farmers in all we are used to are old and harsh winters and if we started early found it impossible to grow certain kinds of fruits like grapes for example global warming has meant grapes can now in fact right in a cold country like norbi. telemark county in southern norway the winter cold set seen as early as october or november yet because of global warming it's now possible to grow grapes am not far from gravel is a lack of cost and one of the northernmost opinions on earth. here have been all day usually fall back 10 years and have a

challenge the great frightens for their resistance to the winter cold they come from russia north america and germany like the salaries for writing. its grip that the resistor called really good. need so good no region some are to be specially in very good but that also is. a grape that is very fruit there. gives so very good taste form a wine and we use it to make the white wine we have only the
