Southern france they got. One of the last traditional seems pretty says in france lives that. John luke does not produce hybrid tomatoes. He creates what he calls old pariahs here. This is how we have 10 seeds. They go in a seed stay on the bottom and the skin close to the tongue has to look to you to. Everyone used to know this technique of producing seeds for themselves. Cycled through to the farmers knew that the next harvest depended on the seeds and they were very careful when producing them for the weeks for some of you ate the tomatoes yourself but the seeds were always the most important thing a small today no farmer produces them anymore but the Big Companies do that. A dying tradition yes almost an orthodox i teach. In this greenhouse theres only cultivates only the old farm growing ts. 100 percent. Effective also it seems a bit wild and chaotic because i only have a small area of land to work with it is that to make the most of the space i squeeze the tomatoes in close together only working with soil and without chemicals from what you do you know. I dont use any 3rd Party Products at all in this greenhouse so i called about 20 different varieties of tomatoes from earth what do they all have in common no hybrids no crosspollination. But do these old varieties contain more nutrients than modern hybrids we decided to analyze them but. These tomatoes. And here is a similar looking hybrid from the supermarkets. We sent both off on the same day to a stately poetry to evaluate the ingredients. 3 weeks later said the results are they differ. In the case of the hybrid tomato all 5 values they can pead much lower. The hybrid contains 63 percent less calcium 29 percent less magnesium and 72 percent less betterman c. The hybrid contains less than half of the antioxidant 19 pounds less than half of the Health Promoting secondary plant compounds of poly females then the farm is tomatoes and. Is consistent with the idea there is a relationship between taste and nutrient content and this was from wish by any proof where a at the university of florida and he made the observation in this paper that many of the flavor components of tomatoes are derived from human nutrients when you eat or tomato that has good flavor that means that it probably also had good amounts of the nutrients that were used to make that flavor its a consequence of bridges. Breeders so work for you. For other economic truths in the process making. The. Culture changing the chemistry. The Parent Company of his era is a Global Player in the street business. The famous parents the journalist elise loosing me the Vice President for International Affairs who is that you are part of the management of a globally operating seed producer have you ever analyzed the nutrient content of your tomatoes. So it depends on the growing conditions not on the varieties. So this problem is not a concern of yours so i didnt say that you like it the nutritional quality of our products is a very important issue for us the value of. The ice in it is where we met professor rabinovich do you know him of course. You know he invented the term medo that last 2 or 3 weeks. Yes it was a case because he explained to us that the longevity gene blocks the ripening process of the fruit defects the development of the nutrients. I stand by what i told you i think the tomato growers have the greatest influence on the anatomy of the tomatoes and the responsibility of dealing with this is there is as they have the most significant impact. If one hybrids have another huge advantage will see it supply as they see its can only be used. If you plant seeds from the fruit of a hybrid tomato the next year of genes becomes a game of chance the next jenner. Ration play produced tiny small all rapidly approaching fruit this is why farmers have to buy new tomato seeds every year and. A profitable market for produces like his era in israel. And the small seeds are incredibly expensive how much is one kilo of seed so this kind of filmmaking just kind of tomato today can reach 400000 euros whats 4 kilograms of seeds what 400000 euros. Or more yes you can buy a house was this her that to me to see more capital gain of the sea just the margin of our margin in size and we can get into my thoughts why because its expensive expensive seats as a result of demands so yeah its a Good Business for us if its not we want to hear both 100000 euros for one kilo of these yellow cherry tomatoes i see its normal to mars has cost around 60000. 00 heroes peculiar more even than gold only you purchased the seeds michael told you today in 22. 00 Different Countries something all over the world and like which kind of country like like israel in thailand like in chile with in spain in india in many places. d seeds that are moved there you go produced in low wage countries where labor costs little. Next course of call is. This pressure is the reason for the long journey. Seen an investigation by the dutch Human Rights Organization every so. d they claim that 16 percent of the workers in the seat business are children under 14 years of age. For example in the indian state of karnataka the remote villages are among the poorest in the country. The climate in south india is perfect for growing vegetables every year 160000 kilos of tomato seeds are exposed from here. All global play is in the seed markets have a presence in india. B. S. F. Do poll a buyer Monsanto Syngenta and limit. Rugby run she works on behalf of reason in this region and fights against the exploitation of child labor. I took these the day before yesterday. Around 12000000 children in india work under the worst conditions since 2016 it has been forbidden for children under 14 to work. Out of the order. We observe from a distance and count the workers. See how big or small they are that. Ravi says that the seeds of hybrid tomatoes are mostly collected by children. And many children were working capital but now the harvest is over. The fields are almost empty. But in a green house we can see human silhouettes. This Company Works for the Multinational Corporation syngenta based in switzerland. About 10 women and girls of pruning tomato plants. When the smallest of the girls sees us another worker signals that she should squat down. How much you were. Up to the 5th grade now you dont go to school anymore now how old are you. Shes 17 and you im a teen why dont you go to school. There are not here. Only the Primary School how long have you been working. For 3 years. She started before me. Is 1st in the market and since when do you work since she left school at 11. This girl is supposed to be 17 we all find it hard to believe. That in gentle purchases that seeds from around 25000. 00 mostly small hold farm is throughout india. This was small to national how it feels about child labor. The answer sounds good but its nonspecific. Syngenta complies with all labor laws this in gentle Fair Labor Program promotes decent working conditions and opposes child labor. Children later but theres another reason why they are so often used in c. Production as the author of the report soiled scenes knows too well. Absolutely ben curtis well lou is an independent researcher and has been researching child labor in hybrid Seed Production for 15 years. The bridge is an activity is very delicate it requires a lot of. Skills the children are preferred because they can do this is a pretty to activities really foster dogs. And also. We can see. Who can do the walk off. That is the kind of calculation farmers have bt and and found that families depend on child labor because they are poorly paid by the corporations. To farm or start struggling actually to have a. Good profit margin or if they how to. Run good and good is what good the margin will be. Sometimes it would be an emergency department. But not any children are exploited. What is evident in can attack only women but in the seed producing to march if you. The family man explains this to us on his. Face off over him close we have 20 riots hes. Close is a subsidiary of the mark on the french seed producer has hundreds of fans under contract in the region. Shes crossed pollinating the plants right now. Bent 8 hours a day the women pluck pollen from the flowers with tweezers beneath the scorching sun. Why are there no men working under the models. Of their. Men are more expensive we only hire them for cutting and to carry loads they cost 300. 00 rupees per day women work for 200. 00. The daily wage of less than 2 euros 50 is illegal even in india. In karnataka the minimum wage in agriculture is 330. 00 rupees around for us the day. These women only receive 60 percent of the legal minimum wage. Why do you work here more than could even them because there is no other work right now normally we work in the rice fields and harvest rice but at the moment there is nothing except pollination. Illegal is this work difficult. Yes my eyes are so far because we are so concentrated and i have a bad back. Its hard work but we also have to earn a living. We get 102. 00 euros here a kilo of tomato seeds if we want 26 year as more so we could pay the women what theyre asking for and still have a profit because. The farmers are breaking the law because they dont get an additional 26. 00 here is to kill their. Own self to see than europe for an average of 60000. 00 euros per. Hour the companies aware of this illegal practice. We visit an indian location belonging to him close with a hidden camera. At 1st it doesnt look good to god stop us. Forces. Us but us but we make a documentary about the seeds in. The openings which can get. Particularly offense all. As we come from fronts like the Parent Company among clones it seems to open dinners we learn to talk to manage it. Ok like the man phones his head office. Ok. Thank you very much because. The team is surprised with the sudden off of famous indian hospitality that our lead. Let us know that if you dont even know from question 1st ok. Were in this is where the fees are drawn to before they are exposed to. Fish. During the interview the manager at mits he notes that his contract families are paying their workers below the legal minimum wage. Like the salary for one of the workers who are living. This is some farmers have no less than 2 years 50 a manager goes on to reveal that the company doesnt even pay its own people the minimum wage. How much. Because. Just over 3 years no one here is allowed to know how much the seeds are worth in europe but only over to my top. It was great to be. Back in paris does limit god know about these practices and i scored good as i said are you familiar with this report soil seeds i have it here yes. It was written and 2015 and examined the problems of child labor and the exploitation of women and here on page 6 it says the proportion of children under 14 years of age is between 10. 5 and 16. 3 percent of all field workers working for. Christmas 1st of all i can assure you clearly and unequivocally there is no child labor at the lima ground sites so they sit during make up what about the subcontracted farmers who work for you in india can you assure us that there is no child labor there really that. We have reduced these from 10 or 15 percent to less than one percent all measures are being taken to achieve this which measures. Contractual measures to ban child labor and hard before we continue to educate inform raise awareness and if necessary impose sanctions on us to prevent child labor in lima grant as much as possible to prove could hide this awful exist to pop up as much as possible. Tide is child labor is a very serious issue values we have a 0 tolerance level it is. 0 but the music is clinic can we ever be 100 percent certain in a country like india probably not but our determination is unwavering muddled you see none of them in companies that work for you we have made women who are paid below the minimum wage to get to 100. 00 rupees per day instead of 330. 00 what do you say to that. So i dont agree with this assertion or that corys to come up there there is Something Else it you claim that the indian guy employees receive the legal minimum wage of 330. 00 rupees per day in reality pays its workers 300 the amount of a manager has actually confirmed this. Wherever we operate employees are paid according to the legal minimum wage or higher annmarie again. I take issue with your allegation that the pharmacy. It is almost impossible to avoid hybrid plants. In 202060 percent of the worlds commercial seeds were owned by a chemical giant. By a monsanto. Syngenta. Biodiversity is not an issue for these corporations. In 2009 an expert warned the world about this development when leaving agency 10 until 2014 was the un special rapporteur on the right to. 75 percent of the diversity has been done. As a result of the pressure. We visited in brussels to live in. This your job works in an International Team of experts who Sustainable Food systems. His message the world surface less from hunger then from malnutrition. The figure is alarming we have already lost 75 percent and plan for right. Biodiversity is not just a luxury for botanists it also helps to secure global Food Supplies we dont know what the future and Climate Change will bring which harmful insects and diseases will invest our plants when we need the natural reserves of a diverse plant world if were to cope with unforeseeable threats or. Deploying business goes hand in hand with a pesticide business 3 of the full World Leaders producing seeds also produced pesticides by our Monsanto Delta and syngenta. The farmers are always offered a complete package deal theyre told that they will only get a good harvest with this past aside that fertilizer for example some seeds are developed that are resistant to certain active substances he was at home. Like the trojan horse will Agro Chemicals more than 4000000. 00 tons of pesticides are sprayed on the earth every year. At some point we wont eat the same thing from dakar to miami from paris to bangkok is that tomorrows world. Or thousands of years we had a large quantity and rioting of seats. And the seeds. Year after year with the harvests by farmers that were using methods. That would now be considered today as being traditional. Rationally Specialist Companies have begun to perform this process or selection and lead production which in turn has put seeds on the market that can produce large quantities of genetically modified agricultural produce. The distribution of commercial seeds and which rights are owned by a handful of Major Transnational Companies means that agriculture will no longer be sustainable for many Small Farmers in developing countries and therefore were going to see a gradual destruction of small scale. Increasingly consumers and film is protesting they demand. Natural seats that are not owned by the. Corporation. In the south of france a Resistance Movement is gaining popularity. You. Believe is situated in a. Kids the Nonprofit Organization the aim is to protect traditional clones and forgotten vegetable varieties their seed collection includes over 2400. 00 vegetable varieties from beige cucumber to orange swiss. The range of colors is amazing. The standardized ration of agriculture species have fallen down and genetic finals most people for example thinks with chance a green and white. But theres an incredible diversity of swiss chard all of the colors of the rainbow that we dont. Seen normally. Kokopelli has also started to see it without frontiers initiative. This is where we ship the passengers for the Solidarity Campaign sees without front is every year we send hundreds of packages worldwide this is feedback from some of the projects weve supported. From where virtually everywhere. In the central and south america asia. And countries where the population is dominated by the Agro Chemical and 3rd industry multinationals as a result they sometimes quickly lose all their natural varieties sometimes in just one or 2 growing seasons. By saving the old horizon and by growing traditional plants that farmers and consumers have the chance to choose an alternative to standardized.
