perfect basically this is a perfect cooperation between nature conservation and farming we're farming cattle here on the island but we're also conserving nature because the cattle graze on the meadows that allows birds to breed here and provides a comfortable habitat for many species. thanks to the grazing cattle the island is now a breeding ground for 10000 black headed goals and many other bird species also. our paths are useful because cows only graze around there so the grass grows better so it grows on the former colony and serves as a breeding ground for the reds. the cattle belong to a collective of 3 farms in northeastern germany the b.-o. boulden co-operative buys farmland across germany members of the co-operative pay $1000.00 euros for a share. there's even by. members
contributions mean we as the billboard uncooperative can financially secure a farm like this one of each also in other words we can take it off the market and give it to farmers who want to farm it sustainably long term to get out of the chest. in order to protect the soil and the ground water the farmers don't use pesticides and artificial fertilisers and they grow green manure catch crops to prevent ground erosion after the autumn harvest but also makes the ground more fertile. while conventional farming often uses hybrid seeds that need to be bought every year farmer stefan decade grows crops that produce their own seeds they have or not really because of course we want healthy and robust across that there are also suited to local conditions and can flourish it's getting drier and warmer we don't want to be reliant on big corporations we want to maintain our independence when i think. of things on
the organic farmers work with local customers the potatoes grown here are sold in the farms own shop and to nearby food startups. they go right into the pot at lunch just down the road it was the 1st startup to move here it prepares vegan meals for kindergarten schools and supermarkets the partnership with the organic farms is a win win situation for both. because if you look at me we can buy a lot of vegetables including potatoes and pumpkins for us business and profit isn't everything figure sustainability is important to us too as are short value chains buying locally sourced produce and building something up in the region here . the startups also give the organic farmers ideas for new crops to grow this is blue corn
a traditional mexican crop tanya miller produces organic corn tortillas. instead. we have a lot of demand for blue tortillas and of course we don't want to buy the flour or have the corn shipped across the world ideally we want to grow it here instead. of the elements it's about we're currently growing it on 2 hectares of land we had a small test phase and it worked well. even though it's been a dry year we're hoping we can start harvesting some of it soon. in germany melons are often imported from other continents but the organic farmers are growing them on a test field if they survive over the next few years without requiring additional irrigation they'll be grown on a larger scale. by. i insisted we were adjusting to the
prospect of a drier climates and hot summers. there are plenty of crops that currently only grow in southern climates that can now grow here. such experiments can mean a financial risk but these farmers may 1 day be able to offer soybeans and melons grown on fields in northeastern germany. the onus of sustainable agriculture is as much on us as the decisions depend on the money we can spend enough for and also our preferences exotic. as our decisions can make a big difference. every time we visit the supermarket we make decisions that affect the environment often unthinkingly household budget habits and mood all influence what we buy meat and sausage is bad for the global
climate. but what many don't know is that butter is even worse it's production on an industrial scale requires massive amounts of milk and therefore vast numbers of kells and cattle a mix of huge amounts of greenhouse gases. shampoos hand creams even bakery products those palm oil and hoff of all supermarket products. rain forests around the globe are destroyed to make way for the palm oil plantations. now experts are calling for products ecological footprint to be clearly stated on the packaging. is difficult today although it's changing the technologies are coming out that allow us to understand the full trace to value chain of what we buy and i think that will become increasing the case i mean for now it's very clear that having more vegetables and fruits in your diet is
probably a step in the right direction but i want to make it very clear that all food can be grown sustainably so we need to go down that road. pesticides and chemical fertilizers pollute soil and groundwater. however only 1.4 percent of all arab lenders organically cultivated but demand is rising world wide in india alone there are over $800000.00 farmers but organic cost small. the expression we often use is you can pay me now or you can pay me later so if you're in the grocery store and you're choosing something in your thinking well that organic product or whatever is more expensive it might be today but ultimately the path that we're headed on is going to lead to much higher prices we need to do something today. for example by buying organic fruit and vegetables it's also been grown locally. to decide what goes on the family dinner
table gives everyone a chance to be part of the change for the better. in addition to adapting to the changing climate follows may have to come face to face with a new kind of change in how agriculture is practiced robots are being developed to perform just about every activity in the farming process how could this in fact data be of processes and what can farmers do to stay if it. wants growing here we needs or carrots. here in this field a prototype is being tested the hope is that this technology will be able to combat weans and improve harvests. i meet a robot that works for organic farmer trying to customs. which grab a feast of life or become a visionary in this operation because i'm trying to foresee the problems we'll have
in a decade and i'm doing my best to solve them through for. the farmers already having problems finding enough employees to work his fields. could solve this labor shortage by recognizing weeds and destroying them without relying on chemicals but the robot is still at the learning stage the farmer has brought in ita experts to help bonnie robb has to be able to identify which plants are wanted and which ones aren't forced or if. you can imagine drawing a picture with a green marker and a red marker and then we tell them that's a carrot and those are weeds and later we have pictures without anything and we tell the robot to find out where would you use the color red or green and this is what you see in the end it examines all the images and says. it was. artificial intelligence for farming the vegetable crop is being separated from the
weeds by hand at least it's environmentally friendly the vehicle is powered by solar panels. there's a big demand for big visions of farming can benefit greatly from digitalisation. our dream is to come here with a small trailer open the door and then 100 drones fly out and around the field and everything automatically. so when will drones take on the difficult tasks how will farm jobs change and how many will remain what will digitalisation mean for food production and livestock farming. everything depends on the new technological possibilities and how we exploit them. more and more land is needed to cool for space is limited and the extensive lantern use has led to the result in many parts of the world these challenges have given rise to a unique in mixture of soil u.s.
agriculture urban spaces a hyperloop a farm in mumbai is trying to create a sustainable model of farming with the city's residents have access to freshly harvested cookies. located in the heart of the bustling and the recent visit ramshackle old industrial building gives a little over to the unsuspecting passers by. but walk in and you'll discover the city's 1st ever climate controlled hyper local farm. this space is a farm for a range of fresh leafy vegetables growing smack in the middle of mumbai. farms started in 2017 as an experiment on a terrace it was the brainchild of $39.00 and joe. born out of the dew was single minded commitment to making people more mindful of what was on the plate we
felt like we missed a sense of purpose we you know we were not adding enough to the community around us in mumbai we decided we had to make a trip to a place that very much unlike mumbai and i was all over over there we decided we would start working at a farm because that would help us understand food which was the one thing that we've put into our body every day and it was something that we needed to reconnect with and rebuild a relationship with. hydroponic farming uses form and other materials substrates for the plants. this soil is replaced by water a method taught to talk back to the aspects of of central america. farms harvest more than 2000 plants every month.
you know as well hydroponics is beneficial in the same amount of space you can grow almost 10 times the amount because you can go over to and because of the closed loop dissociating water systems that are used to it you can use up to 90 percent less water and there's the added advantage that you don't have to use pesticides when you're doing indoor also if you can grow these closer to people's homes you have less carbon miles you can deliver fresh food. in a radical departure from the b. traditional markets work here the aim is to offer customers a completely transparent supply chain from production to delivery so. they can trust the hygiene and nutritional value on their plate when you want to draw food
you have to make sure that. because you're gonna go to make sure that before to screen you need to norway your food is coming from and who are in local markets in mumbai and this is not possible. for all the many advantages of hydroponic farming the energy cost for lighting prompts and temperature regulations on very high and that affects the price but. hydroponic farming has the potential to be a model for the future especially when it comes to feeding the world's. population . whether you feel it is only when you start feeling well are you able to impact people around you and have more meaningful relationships with them this is what life is about photos and we feel that the world needs
a lot more to reverse. the choices follows me largely depend on what each of the demands from them it's up to us to choose sustainability over market forces. i hope to give you the forward of the will to do that we've seen next week with yet another thought provoking episode until then the. and. i
