The bug spray any time a bug could buy valuable. But i think the seed most people either have an aversion to infect or they just dont know or dont care. And i mean, well fix that feeling. I have less sex appealed on. Elephants rang tangs old pandas bondai. So i cannot identify with the slug a grasshopper or a cockroach. Its much harder. Local producing the Agro Chemical industry is silently causing our planets buzzing and rustling to go quiet. Inv, this is the worst mass extinction of anthem planet as ever experienced. Were losing species at a rate that earth has never experienced before. This is worse than the dinosaurs dying off. Not altogether. Automobile caprino driver over 45 today. Can see theres been a huge change in the environment. So, but when you drive 200 kilometers in a car for a single insect hits the windshield, i dont think up when you rip you driving to your summer vacation, you have to pay the bugs off the windshield every 2 hours that they put into that doesnt happen anymore. Let me sack back on the drivers experiences were confirmed by a german study in western europe since 199075 percent of the invertebrate population has disappeared. And as a result, subsequent food chains are now also under threat. Fish are vanishing from rivers and birds from the skies. Ah, a new class of super powerful and decides that emerged in the 90s is to blame neo nicotine noise. Chemical concentrate placed directly around seeds. Level to show can cooper revolutionary for farmers because its extremely efficient when you and kills everything. Yes, you too. They say they kill pests, right . But none of them says theyll kill every insect thats out there, including your butterflies and b. While the Scientific Community is well aware of the dangers, the neuro toxins are sold to farmers as a miracle Agro Chemical companies and their lobbies have neutralized systems of scientific and democratic control and the name of profit. A few chemists and businessmen have assumed the right of life and death over all living things with the food you know frederick, ive been farming for 19 years. Was he plays on weve always grown sugar beets isnt on the bell. Even my grandfather crew beats here after the 2nd world war dish. Early book this crop has always been important for us in our bottom to select with pesticides is a broad category. So weve got herbicides as kill plant fungicide says kill fungus road n to side. Those kill rodents glitch goes on, but then insecticides kill in check is thats what theyre supposed to do. Thats what insecticides are made for the gill insect. Hey, larry new and you could to know that the 11 neo nicotine. Oh, its really our a jewel of modern technology. Lo there is the black seed. Did i guarantee covered by a shell whitley insecticide . Who justin . No for then at lake coat aint bunk with the color specific to like c, producer in the blue. So means its from a French Producer on florence would mean germ of sicily said, will id yahoos, decimal see im on these colored seeds are now world wide and the european union, 130. 00 exemptions have been granted to circumvent various bands on neo nick. Its annoyed, like for sugar beets and france ah, those those scenes look deny, right, theyre all colorful and everything, but theyre highly high and lee cox. So new next, you know, aids are systemic. Once theyre applied, they move up into the plant and tend to every plant part. Mm. So there in the leaves, in the stems in the roots and, and in the flowers. You think youre luck, protocol to push check on the plant itself becomes an insecticide, capital filament. Give you, i think tissue about children. What were the ones that you are talks in is in the plant itself is washing fruits and vegetables doesnt remove it. So say i didnt tell you the long term effects on humans and in particular on child development, were not studied before their approval. And yet these insecticides are made from a well known neuro toxic agent. The one contained in tobacco, a more savvy, weve known for years that nicotine is toxic for insects. When i say, you know, for centuries the farmers of ground up our tobacco and used it as a natural pesticide, but has never been synthesized as a Chemical Treatment until the 1980s. When the japanese subsidiary of bare are created a stable form of this nicotine derivative. Thats why its called neo nick to noise. Mm. Mm. Sit there shall happen. Yeah, i Japanese Research and managed to assemble nicotine. And i said o colleen like 2 pieces of lego, creating the 1st near nick. Its annoyed with, you know, he, lou, this is the 1st time this former bayer employee in japan, has spoken to foreign journalists. The chemist invented emitter clow, pred a neo nick gets annoyed, sold by bare that has been used in japanese rice paddies since 1993 saying all hutcher. I love that. Go by moscow. Sniff. It was 100. 00 times more effective than all other insecticides. Oh, okay. So, so at 1st we thought wed got our analysis wrong. Okay, so we repeated the test many times, so it was all put another time. Okay. So i should know that it always worked even when diluted melissa with what you could put out. Like everyone was excited. We had never seen such an interesting product at night. I couldnt sleep and told my wife does. I finally did it. But as she rushed home, a deadlock, 19 equal to leaky devil found needed a little special about near nick it to noise level is that you can quote the said with the knowledge and treat them proactively. Thinking dealt lodge sidney lesson. Any pest problem is presented in advancing, even if it never arises, they dont want to thought of. Are you dont listen to this . Its affected with many types of insects, or new or so. Oh, but especially against those that suck the juice from plants through this i really are. There it is. Get 94 get doth monks f one seed every 18 centimeters. It gives me the good results you read. Seeing again i could yeah, yeah. Good. Really only insects that come close to the actual beat to eat either it or the roots underneath will be affected voice either more to the us involved. So he went down back once covered with soil field mosquitoes can buzz around with a video to see again. But if theyre not interested in the beats, because theyre saying is all good. Busy good slavic, the b, b they love it via kind of vector turn, every and warmers. Dont want to kill insects. They just want their crops to grow. Well, and thats fair. What does that even feel . If lots of insects die, well, thats an unintended side effect limb effect. Then if baptist renew the continuing of i good linea nick to know it always protects the plant he knew left alt insecticides. They sprayed on the leaves, only work on the surface. Lucas, and only for a short while i know that most one we are in simon maximum. Like they gotta ill go. Its like he must cut off this insecticide is effective for 4 months. So you dont have to spray every time pests appear that he was not there. So i have been is out that it can. Its only applied to the root cause i must get up to the us on amazon tonight when other insecticides were sprayed. And when its only 10 percent reached the root whos us, can i tell you on north north . So its very effective, sag yoga content, not the north. And i hope that will kicked off on his argument. It kit and one of the arguments that a valid one in my opinion had yeah, is that sprayed insecticides affected not only the fields, but also the farmers feel their employees at a local resident sca. Since you cant always predict the wind accurately let alone control it would by dick to mod valesh mom on the let prevent us, your looking, the new nicotine i exceed treatments seemed to address the issue much better on the some of the as the active ingredients is added to the soil and absorbed by the plant occur needed on it there once the plant, the harvested lot that sits applaud. Like when you want the richest environment through the air, fit a hint, Dollar Dollar on . No, no, no, no. Yes i could, kate, i or this has completely changed rice cultivation here. Let me telephone. I am christina, when i master you no longer see rice, farmer sprang, insecticides hung over their work has become easier and more efficient in the north sale. Enough that dawn and the beginning, neo nick, it to noise appeared to be the ideal insecticide. And soon more chemical compounds such as cloth i and then fire methods am and a set of mid pred were developed and launched by a handful of multinational corporations. This products, oh, after a few years, rolla, immediately became a success for dagger come industry. At the end of the day, we want farmers to know they can count on. Were doing everything we can to make their crafts flores and it starts with seat treatment to b a. S f. We create chemistry. Really, theres only a small number of players. Genta, monsanto, while which merged with bare a b s f to sing kinda meaningless will assume plate of picked up. But at the sofa cruiser pac convenient, that is more liquid, as when he see with fair has had so many strategies to shape public opinion. One positioning themselves as genuinely interested the true science, not profit. Were bayer, and we sell those Crop Protection products to farmers all over the world. Not because were evil, but because deep down in our curious scientist minds, we know that plants can get thick just as humans. And that we can do something against this. I o from japan, neo nick gets annoyed spread to europe in the mid ninetys before reaching north america and the 2000. And then moving on to the rest of the world, i from conventional crop farming to everyday products and flee callers neo nicotine noise. Now make up 30 percent of global insecticide sales with the neo next up market is worth 34000000000. 00. On a global scale, you can find munich, nixon or its a lot across the world used on a variety of fruits of ash pulls everything ah, from racing ah, 2 potatoes. And these are 2, again, corn and soybeans. Mason with huge zeal. They are also used to control parasites and lifestyle and pets, sometimes and forestry tree trees in certain wood eating insect sierra leone that annoyed so now everywhere else, even in places where they have never been used directly to the complete on these on can or jam 8050. 00 or they probably put test formerly thought about 1st the produces claim to these insecticides would only work on insects. In fact, only on passes, but that the heat. But gradually research showed that near naked to noise also effect vertebrates. City, for example, birds and amphibians. Such as frogs and toads lead a couple of the long term effectiveness of new nicotine. Noise at very low doses endangers all ecosystems. This japanese lake, where a hearty few c. Clams was once among the countries richest waters per fish. With what profit for you and all else used to be an integral part of culinary culture and the lake shinji regional through so it was grilled over of wood charcoal ruffling marinate at and t, right. A cookie in a broth for it got all her whichever k mm walk. I thought you other way around like shinji or smell was a big business. Wilcox, it was a time when we filled the boat with just one net buffer. Nothing but smelt or the joke, one often a brighter smell like planner, none of them are covered with no normal sauder, gar, saying geography, jr, do your your 994. 00. The smell tick suddenly vanished. What crawford did god for van . The not grandmother disappearance, completely transformed. Lakers about donald call for you this ne 0 became very depressed, and humans canary coupled against the hill. Never seen anything like it from all. We simply had no idea what was going round at georgia. Naughty marston endorsed the got the gang, i work on i the scanner to explain this mystery. The local authorities commissioned a Scientific Study from the university of tokyo, 25 years after the smell suddenly disappeared. My sumi yama morrow and her Research Team were finally able to identify the culprit i see a lot didnt know the temperature of the lake water didnt change night in or was there any change in it . Salinity got but we realised that it happened at the time neo nicotine oids were 1st used to the mediocre. Nobody looked into the emitter. Glow print was certified for use and rice paddies in november 1992 and began being used from the spring of 1993. Id have been law thank ever carriages and from the moment it was 1st used zoer plankton levels dropped dramatically. Howdy, mr. Long. These insecticides love water, thats how they get up into the plant parts. They love water, but if you apply them and their water is flowing past the plant, they also get in to that. They love water will attach to it. And so theyre now found in most water bodies so theyve got a new and you would need nicotine. Oh, its our water soluble it so they penetrate aquatic plants and the invertebrates that eat these plans are poisoned to guide us in new york. You get historical gal treated the ground is contaminated, adults is so the water that goes into that ground gets contaminated vinyati lot. Okay. All at once. The ecosystem changed . I mean its like its one place on which is onique. My 1993100 kilograms of emitter, clobbered to animal, suffice to pollute the waterways underneath shinji capitalism, which an 80 square kilometers is one of japans largest lakes. Tunic was his them like the ecosystem collapsed, and fish that eat Aquatic Insects all but disappeared with an ear is more or new than 15. Okay. Okey doke any not the cool de la my research has shown that neo nicotine noise do not kill the fish directly. Youre getting gain, unlike organic phosphate pesticides. It took 5th a 2nd. Uh, yeah, it goes, they kill the invertebrates on which the fish lead to. They thought he got some new nicole to neither target the vision or the collateral damage. Look with the with them will know me on the, hes you, any he mega adam ah, ah, all around the world, scientific studies are reaching the same conclusion. The new insecticides are causing a drastic decline in bio diversity. Even in the most protected areas of the echoed affair fox ah disinvite hobby mouse, high enough gang. We hung lots of traps in this forest fighting failure. We put them up in early spring before the insects came out of hibernation. Filiette m e g, a face a la die vaughan. Dami collier empty the jars every 3 weeks and it was at wanting. And in these are doors i just, i know funk to see then they go into 100 percent. Alcohol has to be processed and classified later than english, better as of yet fit since 2008, these scientists have been comparing the results of their collections year on year. They recorded a 67 percent drop and the number of collected insects in just 10 years. Their work is seen as an International Point of reference is im unable, as if he lived there. We collect a lot of insects. How about 800000. 00 a year . You have thick 1000 some lungs cafe, so and we have thousands of collection jar stored in too large refrigerated containers also provided the disappearance of natural habitats. And the massive use of neo nicotine noise has depleted insect populations at a rate never before seen. He had told that we are not a mortgage. If you told an entomologist 30 years ago, what was at an 80 percent of the biomass, other european flying insects would be lost in the next 2 or 3 decades date of laughter to hans, i mean, does it have any thoughts post verified, pass yet . Whats happening worldwide with biodiversity . Yes. Is that the local populations are dying out 1st. If i lost absolutely. Biodiversity loss is not like snap on a species has gone back on them. The 1st, there are fewer and fewer individuals finding it harder and harder to find a meeting partner. And then it only takes one random event to lead to a species near extinction from one area of what study after study. After study after study, i could keep going and shows that insects are declining their declining in diversity. Theyre declining in abundance, which means theres less of them out there. When theres less of an amount there, theres less of them to pollinate. Theres less of them to be eaten by birds award case in from russia. Well, its even more not a robin, for example, needs to catch 700 insect what day to feed its offspring, to knock on the theme, to the mall toe, her laugh when the any sex are exterminated, and the birds dont have enough to eat. The animal found, and so their population decreases to pull attorney do the same as for bad and so on down 200. 00. It could be because of the equity equity of you. Oh, ah, insects are dying out 8 times faster than mammals. The 6th, the fastest, and the most extensive mass extinction in the world. History with oh, thats exit to me. So it could pity taxonomy, aims to complete the encyclopedia of life. If any over dounia only give a species a name and a suitable description that corresponds to an encyclopedic definition ickes on, on the difference, your opportunity. Chanel. Ah, the skeleton does that. That is, what fascinates me are all these different forms that you cant really appreciate with the naked eye on to the placebo marleni. Ah, ah, finance it. Okay, well thats a Little Shield bug triple bill. It looks like a small white flake, but under the microscope, and it really looks like a stained glass church window. Houses say so these are beautiful creatures. I never tire of looking at them. Sawdust, puddling edison. Mr. Ah, i think for a lot of people in sex or other worldly im but theyre amazing and fascinating. Ah, ah, ah, selmore the deform up sooner. Its a world of fantastic forms to imagine how complicated the genitalia of these creatures are with thorns. Itll spikes you, her spiral organs in all directions. Its insane forces, if ah, wait for a command enough, then every one must think. Whats he on talking about insect penises and seeming to find it. Interesting. So how weird to lacey lacey to visa ah, in messina, is the aqua. What uses it . Oh, i like thats the standard question. When youre dealing with insects. A lot of other, when its about protecting lions, it seems more natural stuff that i call. Nobody asks for what purpose does alliance serve you better . A garden windham, kiki, i was leading a tour to a community garden. And woman asked that question about wild bees. What use are they iea . Is it not me . Does i answer to deeper for nothing just like you . I hope you studied the shot. Them you met . She was a bit shocked. Its but when i said that i also was good for nothing. She calm down, i cant control boost if youd like. But why did these creatures have to be useful to us in some way to justify their existence or not . Because youre here as if we were the Supreme Authority with a right to pass judgment on our other life forms and say, what are you good for . Can yes, no, thats useless without you go just what right to we have to just wipe everything out on these animals have the right to live, just like us philosophically for me, that is unacceptable. Buses in them. Ah. Somewhere down the road, somebody decided that to be a good farmer, youre supposed to farm simpler and bigger me crop sizes started to grow. We started to grow what are called motto cultures. And as we went down that road problem started to emerge, right . The me me i look at that, what on earth are they thinking at the desert . Theyve killed it. Theres nothing alive out there. A lot of tell edge water okra, if we can change this world, survive if we can, then were in trouble. Im trained as entomologist, i study in fact for most of my career me and i run Blue Dasher Farm here in eastern south dakota in to help us understand his experimental farm. He takes us to his neighbors field. Ah, so this is conventional agriculture. This is what soils look like in the us. Nothing. No life they have falls apart. When its dry, this is dust, right. And the only way that you can grow ah crops in it is with chemotherapy of fertilizers, ur. Besides insecticides through 80 gone, passenger fields. Think more Industrial Systems see any more pests. Yeah, pretty with its inevitable. Think model any time you have a crop across a large acreage, thats all. Busy the same, you have an insect that shows up, and its got an incredible ready made nursery for all its young. That expands over hundreds or thousands of acres. Its much easier for an insect chew or a disease to spread itself. When all there are what it loves to eat with, weve created the system thats perfect for past. I mean, we plant a single species for millions of acres and as we go through and we eliminate all of the life except for our one cropped species, then we have to replace everything that life used to do. All of those functions, fertility, pest management, you know, competition from weeds of disease management, and we have to replace it with a jug because were so smart art way. Weve got this whole nature thing figured out. We can package it up and we could sell it. Ah, it would get that deal think well on the farmer was gradually taught to use certain substances at certain times of the year. All that theyd be argued weight easy. Its become a habit too, said renew your net. Be doing this is what were fighting against. This is what were trying to produce. Now lets see what weve got in here. Its kind of a cold morning, but well see what kind of life we can find out here. Ah, ah. Oh the neither the warm red there at the beauty. Well, you that soccer yet. Ah, there you are. These are really important. Why are they so important . Look at what theyre doing in the burrow right there. See how fuzzy it is and bubbly . Most soil is actually insect poop. In fact, we need to get insects in here. Ah, that is what soil used to smell like when i was a boy. And this is like clay, its dead, there is no life. You see the difference, how much complexity there is this the oil who would have thought soil would be so interesting. I never would have guessed get back down in there. Guy. You go back to work. Ah ah scott black leads the largest insect protection in geo in north america. Ah oh and here we go. Bumblebee here we go. I fell in love with insects because i had a little natural area close to my house. Id catch fire flies by night. Id catch butterflies by day and they just captured my imagination. What, what are these animals doing . Why are they here . And thats what really drove me to becoming an ecologist. Difficult policy. Good. We must understand that life on earth is embodied primarily by insect. See, they determine this life and be sure that it will hurt her. Did you know that thats a rule should be a wake up call for people because these little animals are due in an Incredible Service for us. Day and day out with is going to go right out or learn to play shampoo today we think we should wipe out these little insects but that its wrong. Most soil dwelling and pollinating invertebrates provide a free service. Weve profited from for millions of years at the if you keep on on the me the needle, danny. Ah, saying i do not do it without pollinators. We wouldnt have most of the food that we 8. Came on jam. Duke la phone book. Yes. All the pollinators are important for like the butterflies bumblebees hover flies wasps get a soon more fully that they their different characteristics mean that they have certain pollination techniques. Good, good and prefer this or that type of flower and keep the flow assimilated from side b. The lad, but theyre responsible for the reproduction of 84 percent of all cultivation to crop varieties with video only going to meet the Global Economic value of pollination is huge. Of 577000000000 euros. According to the i, p b, e s. O bloom, mikaela. Ah, if you like, clean streams, invertebrates actually, many of them are filter feeders that are cleaning the water. When you go daddy compose the insects are fundamental on the decomposition of plants and animals for them. Often, i like to say that plants and insects are the fabric of the planet. The dung beetle is particularly underrated. It takes care of animal excrement. It forms large balls from it, which it eats or uses to build its nest. Ah, a ill pm in australia when they imported european livestock cows and sheep will called the local dung beetle was accustomed to the local animals douglas a few inches. Koala dung kangaroo dung. De marsupial dung, not to cow or sheep dung, as so successfully look, the dix came, all he knew uppity, at some point in the soil, was completely covered in excrement. Thats when they had import beatles from north africa and Southern Europe of to manage at save all the be taking. You know, it says to as you harbor the him, he does insect, as he falls. If insects die out in the house of cards will collapse, is the full, the way humans are at the tom film because we are super predators out of the somebody she best with it. I think were really headed to catastrophe, and it really many of us in this field believe that we need to think about agriculture differently almost 40 years ago in the poll valley, one of the worlds most productive agricultural regions, a daring agronomist, posed a radically simple solution gray thought a thrown up if the music lines have been monitored since 1984, you dumped the band since 1986. No, its a been free of insecticides. Youll notice from that up. I mean, think when you said that she did not have been to amy theater more adventure started a long time ago in the early eightys over at bmo castell, to put that bug, barry, we went to farmers to evaluate the usefulness in the treatment that can be time were being used as if they were magnificent inventions of ya. Mcqueen should be viewed, we divided the field into strip soon after one as an untreated control from detroit. I mean, and one that got standard Chemical Treatment. I mean, thor kimiko found that in that time of the listed a shot that we alternated, treated and untreated scripts on a lot scale it for you and your mother. Then we check, were plant damage on the left and whether the untreated plants yielded less than the treated ones. Shows that the inferiority newspaper look. We lit up that and test after test and showed that more cops grew on the untreated strips and then on the treated one. So despite the ultimate that the what id like is to give, well, maybe the in my little on a uniform, the corners of how full the cop is from are these are beautiful calm as often i want to speak. You see me again. I thought moved non pellets in seeds, dr. Morrison, theyre naked and can grow freely and unhindered. Vomit lu. Meanwhile, lorenzo for the lawn, has developed a system of traps that are buried in the earth before sowing to assess past risk. Ah, onto the damage. Let the apple it, but lot of it we sent a trap to capture the lar, made up issues of every you know after 10 days, we removed the trap and examined the soil. Operating all am i sat there, must have a did dolly. She portion of fight throw on, we can see be the larva, lot of a deal at that. It equals station cleans out from agree or to us. So d to into the all to shore to be do so depending on their number one. And then we can see at the risk threshold has been exceeded force yamato studied, it should be an issue. But at that we noticed already done ah, in the month and i put a change of on 99 percent of the plot that wed monitored and cultivated for decades, itchy in india, no neo nicotine oid ada, nor any other insecticide was needed manon adam, its a sad here it is, we have never needed insecticide and here i dont think that we should get uniform dot men color of it. I did facebook at the same work was done in canada, and so i with the same results the so in 95 percent of cases dont, thats the waste products for were completely useless. Simple. You, since none of the pests fire control i, were on the treated plots associated with the only possibility we look in her name is sheila eg, pinworthy childrens unacceptable. 4 o, one per cent, risk to treat whole fields on with a high of our and mental impact go high cause you live and with no good to the farmer, but the future, me let alone for the community on cooper liquidity veto is. I think the issue with pesticides is theyve just allowed us to be thoughtless. Theyve allowed us to not think about what paths might be out there. Weve got these chemicals. Well just kill them. Mm. Will say to noon, good to know either these addicted slides or more like an insurance policy for pest control products. When you take on poverty part of me, they will, they thought until the door and itll put me alisha. Farmers see it as a form of ensuring that she could have thrown it. Kate, my horn will be looked at all because the new eyes will grow, but okay, sure will guarantee talk hillock county, but i know 40. So in farming we talk about prophylactic use, just using it before you have a problem to solve the problem that might be out there. So exactly welcome to see who does it. Imagine youre going to head off on the doctor says human, we know as soon as the child is born to met, well give it prophylactic antibiotics, limited make sure it doesnt get infected in the back of it was any new, and well do that for the rest of its life, so the child is protected and doesnt get a bacteria infection. The support is, you know, you would say like, day to doctors not only found usa, the virginia tumult secret, hasanti of antibiotics. Confir used indiscriminately is all the bacteria become resistant to the back. A bottle of this coffee, thats whats done and farming. Cisco fenner include you. Mm. Yeah, laura, laura. Now quit was quite spontaneous. Eat it. Okay. I thought you born last you want insurance. They are the, ill give it to you since on condition that you dont use it all has to decide on a plan. Thats how i started betting you caught up fiona eco winter. I dont know, risk omission for the so evil from thow i would place 300 or 400000 italian lira on the table for me, the leader corporate drink or me the leader karen or if you have any losses so you keep the money really bring people, if you dont, actually will give it back and invite me to dinner via china elf. I made these bets on many farms and one them all into took the but not because im so glad to see about that because the risk was so low. Green, the law did not die. Even 9. 00 to 10. 00. Should the ha, say no, nova, i then tried to turn this personal challenge into a solution. All farmers find out even thought it will actually fill it up report it would be difficult doughty, but this agronomist and his investors created a mutual fund in 2014, with almost 50000 hectors of agricultural land. This conventional farm was one of the 1st to come on board for 35 years. No insecticides have been used on these 60 hectors of corn. A significant savings for this farmer since chemically treating crops costs close to 40. 00 euros per hector and the po valley. With 50 grow as a c program it or yes. Oh okay. And roughly with one on that for 40 times 16 inches. Only 3rd one and the 2400 just for the coin, which is over bumper to about his mice during that chink that 35 years at 2400. How much would that be . Think with, with or done of 87500. 00 euros go from all those of us at the merchant could change that. They were replaced insecticides with good management. They replaced insecticides with life on their farms. And when they did that, they found they didnt need insecticides anymore. It wasnt an idiot, logical decision for these men and women. It was a good business. This a couldnt go to. I do, give me your chief can correct for me. Of about 3 heroes per hector. Control 23. 00 euros compared to 35 year old or 40 years for an insecticide treatment. Ah, you are covered for any damage that may occur. Between sewing your corn. She su donna and the 1st 8 leaves apparently bossa benita. Contra, dallas. See me know that my funeral out for you to took a look at block of anything that might require receding or reduced yield. I was covered by our fund. Tony, be misty me. So then i can print out the form to multiple people in the fund has never lost money. And this farm has been growing sugar beets for 20 years without neo nichol noise in there. Why are these chemicals free to sell . Why are farmers using them . Because of relationships with the Chemical Industry, but its going to every agricultural community, a representative, a salesman that like this by the vast majority of technical consult millis, who visit farm was there to sell something. Be awesome and these guys are at the co ops, are they are theyre, theyre, theyre crop consultants. And this is somebody that has these people of a Farming Community grew up with. And they try to made, don, only farmers have been forced fed. The idea that farming without synthetic chemical compounds is utopia, utopia. With the more you use it, the more you need wins and an addiction scenario. It isnt the addict right . Now farmers are addicted. The guys who are pushing the drugs with the, with the powerful manufacturers, like buyer said, gentle b. S f. Have the power to sell their products quite a while you want to for the poor because the product is needed or useful. But just because they want to salad, so you want to say a witty disability. Well, with all these companies that produce near next, they have a r at obligation to their sure orders to maximize profits, best of family foundations, that pension farms, because of an investor pressure that a fiduciary duty to serve the investor, the companies have of thought an obligation to keep products like neo next on the market did. The Agro Industrial system is a legacy of the 2nd world war. The factories and substances used for weapons production were gradually retooled for the production of fertilizers and pesticides. Back down to me of some count the war ended in 1945 and there were huge phosphate and nitrate stocks. He did the stuff they started to use at all for lack of anything else to do with it too. So its going to have you pick one fat ah, a pico me for new people, needed food and fast if you havent seen. So it developed into the new foundation of modern agriculture do luckily, could you if you cant get, can cross back her early. She missed chemists had developed his nerve douglas mark that ident modified to 5 minutes. That is here in sex. Who you take on player control your other shockley. Ah, ah, it begins with the war on development of the deity. It came from laboratories where top scientists from famous universities and from industrial and government organizations collaborated to develop something new when different they succeed in. They were affected a didnt d, c, d o, d, d, d t is a miracle insecticide the even the streams are just in fact tons of ddt are used in this fight against the Dread Disease whose principal target is the young. Again, war has contributed one of its discoveries to save life. They would spray ddt on fields of almost any kind of crop them in measurable ddt, the spray or home for cockroaches. It was not used in any kind of precision away. It was used everywhere. Powder so easy to apply because of a new, efficient dispenser back in. All people have to do with the rest of life that its a handful of concentrated widespread ddt, use wiped out malaria, carrying mosquitoes in europe and of the u. S. With some advocates even aided to show that it was harmless and to convince developing countries to use it. But scientists quickly discovered unexpected side effects. And shes disappeared completely broke. So i was, i had a paragraph which was native in the east coast to no, you said could its no one believed the permanent exposure could be problematic. Whip was a public back in the seventys, ddt was finally declared carcinogenic and harmful to reproduction and subsequently banned in many countries. But the hunt was on for new compounds. History repeated itself over time, people started to think, oh, could we have better pesticides . And in their search for that, ah, ah, Pesticide Companies came up with and checked the sites that are called neo nicotine noise. Oil course. Got it. A lot, some put your to ship was to day. No human dies from insecticide spraying items jewish or say sucking rain 6th. I prefer to think 1st about humans and then about inside illustrating. And when i said it was a nico idea, ties, these substances are very effective against insects and i away with their toxicity and mammals, as low as hotels hancock fatal. You must not all those other one you it over. So i cheat as so they have a very targeted effect. The figure title is no loss and im, its me, its the products seem like a, a miracle compound are not too tough, not too weak. Kind of just the perfect balance for pesticides that would kill off infects in an efficient manner, but not harm mammals are of humans. C, a pleaded all shall feed was the pinnacle of insect decide. Research said, beginning reducing its could synthesize extremely toxic molecules by jump. Good. What is that they be zoe near naked to noise are 7. 00 to 8000. 00 times more toxic than ddt, which band in the seventys 6 yourselves. Happily, the Japanese Researcher was recognized for this completely new, very efficient invention with extend life. He goes culturally, alberto, when we commit to morality with all my work being honored is like winning olympic gold. Chemical mom will not allow you to seal with at 1st, the neo nicotine noise passed regulatory tests, which were not made to detect chronic toxicity. At low doses, they were mainly performed on rats, which did not respond to the new insecticides. Ah, they arrived in europe in the mid nineties and were 1st used on sunflowers. A favorite of bees. Mm. Ah. I just re, ne families, ebay. I was born among bees who left because most my parents are a purist as were my grandparents and great grandparents too. So senior granite, all these are pew pay ready to hand should it could be or kept, grew to do with that, which means that soon we will have no b as you were in these need 21. 00 days to hash tag and live 4 to 6 weeks these men maximum are they only collect pollen at the end of their lives. They see the let down, they spend the rest of their time in the hive who labour guarding its entrance to lies this avisa present day on lavish wont on god. Then i dont allow them a batch of these any getsco from 1995 on whos at the. Almost all a purists in france is large farming areas saw dead bees at high entrances and depopulation of pollinators. When the sunflowers were in bloom, sodium mushrooms, she remarked, she has walked across the carpets of dead bees and are ab aries sack it crackled underfoot. Singles bakers even these weighed 400 kilos. Like a cow, we might have been taken seriously sooner. You drop it. Ah, is it your v t . We were the victims. We knew that we had to prove it to do that. So we had to turn to scientific expertise or black or bit dos. Shante fig. Oh, overstuffed to see how the b u. B. O for hunger. No, i put just the smallest quantity, just a pin, head of neo nicotine, i quote, i entered in, in this case. And then i embedded it in a small dot of homie, one part per 1000000000. Is that amount that i just put in like a swimming pool, kind of tradition. Thats the kind of volumes that were talking about here. Ah, so generally with new nicotine, noise poisoning, what happens in the insects search, twitching violently, their tongues reverted sooner or later. So all of the loss of the body will be so tight, she can move all of the nerves in their body ends up firing simultaneously. And so really what they die of is exhaustion. I said, huge and super be got a little of the toys in here, and theres no getting appear. Hes always wings a point, right up sick, you know, indicating tetanus of the flight muscle in the to me this looks like generalized cramping id after the b keepers, complaints companies changed seed pelting to limit the spread of neo nick. Its annoyed. But scientists continued to find high death rates, insidious thing about neil nick and annoyances that they, they might not kill them at all, you know, but what happens is that they end up having learning disabilities. This is a fake collegial the scientists found out that these substances called lydia sub lease, will affect volume id yet the bees die slowly may in mom dont they cant find their way home again. They cant regulate their temperature of the hive anymore. They forget how the b b. S. See, lets say melodies. I bet its like they have alzheimers and wont buy. For example, they tried to collect nectar from a withered sunflower, virginia. They film keystone, funny a pre, and they rubbed their antenna, what their abdomens. So what theyll do then convulse and twitch, come nickel, hes you please do tomblin. You can watch them collecting pollen can do brittany falling suddenly onto a lee from the right by example. She left and then on to the ground to on a show where they slowly die. We dont base your school. So. Yeah, good, easy. In the late ninetys the be became the center of a scientific battle between the Agro Chemical industry and independent researchers in france, jam, marketable. Martin conducted the 1st studies demonstrating the toxicity of new nicotine noise on pollinators. That would be of the actual, the company. You feel that the Pesticide Companies 1st reaction was thats impossible. Youve made a mistake, but war and they asked to come and see the results and my Laboratory Security put their marks. I gladly accepted me the vessel shook, but surprisingly they hadnt come for the detailed results the shut, but to find any mistakes we might have made with a view for the last that the huge easy, their strategy was called multi factory ality. Dixie did harvey that means finding numerous alibis, so as to claim or do you know pesticides were not the cause they probably were various factors affect her dont get the r thanks. I would see within seconds a lot is blamed on Climate Change randomization habitat to last night. Lighting 3 before licks are not young. Some papers would say absolutely. But pesticides. This is the smoking gun, others would say, well, no, you know, i mean it could have been all of these other things and maybe it was the verola, my, you know, the role. What mike gets a lot of different wasa did. The renewal may is relatively new parasites. It started to invade the hives of the western hunting in the middle of the last century. Law washington formula, you know, face sheet, the verola light is a distraction. You chose level wise that the borrower is a natural parasite. Wookey and that there is a species called the borrower destructor, from asia e. And that has invaded european hives olympian, but it is a parasite of the domestic b, w, d. Dont. So even if we can attribute some blame to the verola, it is certainly not responsible for the decline in insects. In general, mon pollinators. In particular, they put over wild bees in which the borrower is not a parasite and classified. And so if a corporation or, or, or somebody with an agenda doesnt, wants to support you, science to support that agenda. All they have to do is find the science that says Something Else is killing the bees. Bare syngenta are such large multi nationals with tens of billions of dollars in revenue. These grants to scientists or nothing. There are rounding error on a quarterly statement. But for scientists that a lot of money. What happens is that the whole, the scientific literature starts to shift in and then you see this growing swelling body of literature that the, well, the girl might kill to be like this and, and a lack of flowers in the environment killed. And theres a new disease, it kills to be like this and suddenly it start looking. Man, theres just a little bit of information over here, but theres a lot of information over here. Must be this stuff. The faith pool for monday will be about d motivating the public and the Decision Makers in the sucker and work with if you listen to the possible reason for insect mortality, no one knows where to start job with the predict the motional can cause poor resume. I stagnation, fatalism and inaction, federal homes, but occasionally its still get scientists that are noisy and they dont shut up when theyre supposed to, and they continue to work down this road. Well, in that case you, you destroy that scientists publicly are in, you know, it all started. Id say, when we found that neo nicotine noise werent helping. So being producers that they were killing predators, and they werent killing the soybean who i got a job pretty well right. Undergraduate school at the u. S. D, a Agricultural Research service. And i spent about 11 years there. Me, everything was going right. And i received an award in the white house for main name, one of the top young scientists in the country. President obama presented that to me. I and then we started asking the wrong questions. I know the harassment started in small ways, maybe getting some additional edits on presentations or on papers that never really happened before. I got more aggressive and they started to suspend me for routine or small violations. Maybe the paperwork wasnt done on time or Something Like this. And then they started the hall in my staff and say anything johns done on a line lately. Wed like to, you know, and so they started to interrogate people. Ah, while reporting the story, i talked a dozen scientists, many of them were fearful of speaking. And many of them said that they would not speak out publicly on the record for my story because they were afraid they would be pushed out of their position just as jonathan longer and was push out of his position at the usa be anxiety and the pressure was enormous and so i really had to ask the question, what the hell am i doing here . And so i quit, ah, others, and awareness that if you criticize big business, you are not going to receive funding for your research. If you criticize private corporations, your entire university could lose out on money. I mean the people in my command chain of command, they werent trained or heard me. They were trying to preserve the u. S. Da and all of the people that i was working with. Oh, okay, so theyre going to be coming up right along here. So here we go. Oh no. Jonathan lumberton now runs a farm and puts his experience as a scientist into environmentally friendly agriculture. He focuses on large scale agriculture that can produce while regenerating the soil ah, science is pressured to slow studies on the effects of biodiversity. The feel my voice, unique, suffolk, my Agro ChemicalCompanies Know very well that an end for past decides is insight. I could develop but they want to gain a little time to see because that still means a lot of money even yet, but dos again young global without it, we have this really rapid approached her approving pesticides and then they take glacial approach to getting pesticides. Polled once theyre approved, well, the best barometer of whether the Chemical Industry ah, strategies are working is regulation. Do what im going to kill to look girl. That is really the heart. Ah gotcha said well, katy Defi Research what regulatory testing he had. Ive been conducted to assess who they that example the side effects of a product of bees. Yes. All gone. Could you find that that these tests were designed by the industry itself, all bodies on his theater, men who doesnt exist with that, theyre still in a 24 hour test. Her b mortality is low, but up to 3 days it increases significantly more so on. So you stop the test up to 24 hours with hardly any dead basie who fed. So the authority say, okay, lets allow the product to assemble, sell off on a more rug up of by do you cannot be judge and plaintiff. Its a conflict of interest, hell see nothing more loom. You dont put the fox in charge of the hen house after its eat on the half the heads a quickie that more. He levin what she didnt do. I can tell you ive been studying pesticide regulations and, and, and Risk Assessments for 20 plus years. Nobodys watching. Nobodys watching. How could they, ah, levy. These are articles and tasks at the pages upon pages by to basis articles on changes that think of the bud gothic removal a single truth, thousands of pages, the monstrous National Deposit to sell. Now we have to work through all this to submit changes among death sentences like this product will only be approved at the weight per area. Ratio is changed to i believe theyre putting ah, dest valve at nissan. So demand brockwell often ask why regulators for less problematic products pass problem etc. Quest you full sized or gone through them and they corrupt site. Come were you lose the files, the examiner, thousands of pages long, near the bash for gasoline, you meant to see the ard for it. Take my time to judge such a pile of documents in tell mass document. Theyre here using this chemical for that past this other chemical for this past than years treating for fungicides. Then youre treating for some disease and were basically creating these chemical cocktails in the environment when you started measuring the formulations of these 200 compounds. And each of those requires it. So on Risk Assessment, thats 20000. 00 Risk Assessment. Who the hell is going to pay for that . Whos gonna do that . Nobody still in that. We have no idea what these chemistrys are doing in the environment. Shawna multiple part of us even l. M. Game for shawnee spread in the environment persistently and systematically and control. I believe they become an uncontrollable and invade and everywhere element that including little lou jamie and my hair. But i knew the my knowledge of your father author and the last analysis found that read different neo nicotine noise that i probably ingested through food. Kelly company run of mill defeated val, i said old bug already, i am convinced that you cannot have a meal without any a nicotine noise. They are everywhere. Infer that vegetables and grains, tea, coffee and juice didnt equal to due to cook for more than a decade. We have suspected that near nicotine noise act as endocrine disruptors, li, causing liver, thyroid, testicular and Ovarian Cancer wallets. Your lead that he can legally meet the keith about the vessel. But even worse is all other effects on the development of our nervous system or digital and the brains of fetuses and Young Children develop the use that fit that it free shoe film with hobbling preferable to the public to wait a minute. One of the most striking research from to ponchos ng new nick a to noise in the 1st urine of most newborns who deja the new and you couldnt hear me. I cut out with us, you know, another than oh, i am researching the impact of pesticides and herbicides on water and the environment. And so they, especially because of their harmful effects on humans in behavioral disorders in children caused by Mental Illness and have increased in japan since 1993. Always you know, i think the cater seneca got the hit single. She velaz youngs. If we had followed the science kind of talk, these products would have been bounced anymore. Down the Agro Chemical lobbies refused to even try a pesticide ban implants. I grow chemical lobbies, influence in much the same way is that all polluting industries is actually hell may know. I looked this to model it with ticket on being itll be in the family. The model was developed by the tobacco industry. They would, they look at apple, me, so i thought that in to send them back or, you know, going back to the 1950 years and i to sixtys the tobacco companies, knew that their product or as addictive and deadly and to counter any potential for regulation. Or removal or liability of their products. They created an infrastructure of think tanks of Public Relations experts of other groups that would counter any of the science showing the deadly effects of smoking. For years, they said figure out, dont cause cancer. They trotted out all sorts of experts, had said, cigarettes dont cause cancer. They delayed any thought on that by at least 2 decades speak by trotting out experts saying we dont have the data. And we say the same thing with the Pesticide Industry with okay, i think were say theres a general message out there that organic foods are any healthier or healthier for you and better for you than whatever you get in the supermarket next door. And thats nonsense. But if you, if you go shopping in a whole foods, youll see kind of why a c s h was fun, was founded. Macias ash. Yes. Hey sheila, its financed by agra chemistry hippa and promoted things like pesticides, biotechnology, etc. Martin just realised agriculture, food beauty, energy, digital, elegant control, nuclear lets. It was formed in 1978 by a group of fairly high powered sciences scientists. And they were unhappy the way that science and chemistry and medicine were being portrayed in the media. Well, we debunk chunk, thats our model. Oh, the pe help page 2. 00 for a carriage. This is the co site for sense that we see these organizations funded by industry helping shape public opinion, helping shape the discourse around these controversial issues. The American Council on science and health is certainly one of them. This is just a fascinating email from monsanto. It shows a monsanto executive making the case that monsanto should donate to a c s age. Because in bold type, you will not get a better value for your dollar than he see his age. And they lay out all of these different pieces of content from a c s h, including their articles on the unix or you know, once in awhile throughout the years, we would get maybe a small gift from our company here or there. But that didnt stop me from going after them. If i, if i felt like they were doing something wrong, if you just say the word chemical is scarce, people, these chemicals are in the water and were gonna grow an arm out of our back. These scares you hear about different chemicals and drugs, most of the time would be false. But it makes great headlines. In a faucet, its a silent power that we cant see yet. That has a dangerous influence on contemporary democracy. Digital classlent on point ah, if you try and form without any pesticides is going to be difficult. Everything gets heat not by bugs, some of the on the insecticides which are yours. I wouldnt want to spray it in my face. Okay, so thats for isnt us. But most people dont walk around spraying neuro toxins in their face. Its a very few of us to that. Go run all day. So she could buy he a scientist, he paid by by a monsanto or be a said long whomever, claiming hes and they know our products. Donkey elisa, la, well, they should be held responsible, there lie exposed and made criminally liable gila. No, no. If i hear no, it doesnt pollute the soil. Same thing you, like i said, its the principle of criminal liability of one quarter. If there were criminal penalty. Yes, it would solve a lot. I usually book which compared to the 1000000000 spent by companies in g o, have absurdly few resources. As does the association with which may i please log hall. Marquee hopes to alert french and european politicians. And shouldnt we include a link again on the course . Yeah. You do what should we write schooling here it. Yeah, kenny. What about . Its the only way to save the b. What if i were an uninformed minister that she i would know what to believe. Its a buffet at 50. In the early 20 tens after a 15 year struggle, her n g o thought they had 13 of the main neo nicotine oids were to be banned. And the e u was planning a new Risk Assessment system. Well the me says in 2013 the if i say that the European Regulatory Authority had independent experts working on approval soon enough, they needed a 250 page report to say, these tests are obsolete other. We have to start again with us. Oh, on do me get dolls, news eval in 2014. Isnt that the f as a presented new standards for assessing the risk of pesticides to bees divide u. S. Hell use the business. Its johnnys i b, thats a huge victory. Moth dwaa english via the industry criticized the standards which would have risked the marketability of many of their pesticides t. This is seen the Agro Chemicals association complained to the European Commission that 65 of their 67 main products would not pass these new tests. At iq, andrea m e p and former chair of the pesticides committee, landed himself on a monsanto watch list. He is sure the lobby was exerting pressure and suspects them of hacking his e mail or sale on new gold was at the tunic. Well, emails to me with the word cancer went straight to the trash. He did divvy more for 5 months. I worked with professors, researchers and scientists on the core of the problem. Truly the impact of pesticides on human health and possible cancer risk when it was still going up live, i think it goes it. It was in like and their e mails didnt reach me in the method but avenue oh, in the end the reform was gutted. Strict toxicity tests were caught and much higher b mortality rates are now tolerated. Oh, oh, oh. And her about a month that honeymoon, a german m e that he has a company like buyer in his constituency. Among yellow, global pesticide producer, you will see the generating local economic activity, and charles got it getting coin young dominant were so i can follow though not understand on that this m e p with no greater view of the problem says, you know, i played a viewing hand stopped selling these pesticides, but she volumes of jobs are riding on it. If im, if im believe this and then about the medium pro and when you know young caught out to do that. So were still using a completely obsolete Risk Assessment framework layer. Oh, even france which supported the reform, backtracked and issued exemptions for new nick. Its annoyed in 2020. 0 la hotel. Hes su. The reauthorization of neo nicotine noise in france was devastating for apple culture and quin msu. Moscow fit that it a man that i see what i mean failed, and if its a real defeat for the environment of a bank account, its a great legal, scientific, and democratic step backwards for europe. Oh, without a reformed Risk Assessment, europe is powerless against new compounds. A new generation of neo nicotine noise like sol, fox, the floor, and flu pirate of her own, already replacing the old generation of munich, its noise. Oh, those Chemical Companies right now know that these chemicals have a certain shelf life. So theyre developing new ones. Were fighting to pull off these old ones and no yet moist. Weve seen so much over the years. Hooper ago took products that we were so hard to get out the door. I do so often climbed back in through the window path on the left. Here. Lydia was a smart little yeah. Yeah. So they, at that i said, i invented another insecticide key to me through. Pyro mean, does she such as i got a new nicotine . No, thats not so bad for bes soon. Which annoys on it to sort out me, sebastian gonzales. Its been on the market since last year with us. Could they . Oh, i suppose i mr. You to me this one is i think the, the use of insecticides and pesticides in is the never ending. Grace. Aha, we use more insecticides now than we ever had in human history. We have to, as humans take action, because its a crime against our children to crime against our grandchildren. I, in japan and the United States neo nicotine noise have never been ban. Oh, in developing countries use of these chemicals, allows intensive monoculture, farming to expand, which in turn contributes to continue deforestation and the extinction of millions of invertebrates species. Oh mm. Ah, [000 00 00;00] oh oh. 8 0 oh oh oh i thought i pizza with a touch of bertina. I need you to near but alive and vibrant designs for courage and zest for life.
