Last year, we saw this world—first project being built using an environmentally friendly heating system. a typical greenhouse would burn fossil fuels to create the heat that you need to go through these rails. but our greenhouse takes waste heat from sewage treatment works. we use that heat instead of burning fossil fuels. the hard hats and hi—vis gear we wore last time have been replaced by coveralls to protect the crops from bringing in external bugs and viruses. workers here have their cl...

22 million peppers. 22 million peppers?! i dont know how many tons of tomatoes, but a lot. its done better than wed anticipated in its first year, if im honest. yes. um, but, you know, great. so this project has proven that you can grow a large scale of produce in a low—carbon way — you just need to be near a waste heat source and there are plenty of those around the world. thanks, jen. of course, once our crops have been harvested, they need to be stored safely so they dont spoil. an estima...

Of emissions, isnt it? they grow the crops, they add the water, they package it, they heat up, they cool it down again. at least british breweries are focusing on the issue. total co2 emissions from it have almost halved over the past decade. crumbs! which this doesnt taste like, so fair enough. but i do have something else special for you to try, today. pea and tonic? pardon? pea and tonic? i think illjust have the tonic, thanks. here you go, it has got actual peas in it. alright, 0k. ill expla...

Of the plant off. so this would have extended all the way to the top of the greenhouse? up to the top of the wire, the string here. oh, wow. so we keep a buffer over the top of the greenhouse so we can control the atmosphere and the climate within here. and more produce is growing in a greenhouse just next door using the same green technology. how many cucumbers are you growing in the other greenhouse? the other greenhouse here is 1a million cucumbers. 1a million? 22 million peppers. 22 million ...

Prime. always good to talk to you. administrations arguing if i can get it right here that the top s controlled by 85% of the market meaning that they set the prices for farmers. they set the prices for consumers. is that it? is it that simple? it seems awfully convenient for the biden administration to go after big oil and gas prices go up and go after big meat when meat prices go up. is it that simple? >> dana: thats what theyre doing that is not that simple at all. if you dig into them meet i...

And so, departures from that, such as climate change, you can see very distinct changes or recessions in those in the areal extent, or the terminal position, or ideally in the total mass of the glacier itself, indicates a change in climate. and so, perhaps the most definitive markers of climate change are the recession of tropical alpine ice fields, which you find in the andes and east africa as well. also in irianjaya, in papua new guinea. as well as the melting glaciers, weather patterns in th...

Hes fine? he looks like a greenfly. yeah, hes just searching away, looking for something to eat. because were coming to the end of the crop, weve taken the top of the plant off. so this would have extended all the way to the top of the greenhouse? up to the top of the wire, the string here. oh, wow. so we keep a buffer above the top of the greenhouse so we can control the atmosphere and the climate within here. and more produce is growing in a greenhouse just next door using the same green techn...

Or recessions in those in the areal extent, or the terminal position, or ideally in the total mass of the glacier itself, indicates a change in climate. so perhaps the most definitive markers of climate change are the recession of tropical alpine ice fields, which you find in the andes and east africa as well. also in irianjaya, papua new guinea. as well as the melting glaciers, weather patterns in the area are changing. in 2020, some of the heaviest rain on record caused destructive flooding, b...

So we keep a buffer above the top of the greenhouse so we can control the atmosphere and the climate within here. and more produce is growing in a greenhouse just next door using the same green technology. how many cucumbers are you growing in the other greenhouse? the other greenhouse here is 14 million cucumbers. 14 million?! 22 million peppers. 22 million peppers?! i dont know how many tons of tomatoes, but a lot. its done better than wed anticipated in its first year, if im honest. yes. but,...
