Be the next big thing in Sustainable Packaging we meet the tiny entrepreneur behind it. And its Climate Change what Climate Change some farmers in australia have their own ideas about Global Warming. Australia is burning and burning and burning forests and fields a desperately average months of drought and record temperatures have created perfect conditions for wildfires for weeks clouds of heavy smoke hung over sydney the city is surrounded by fire so is the crisis the result of human induced Climate Change or is it a natural phenomenon that debate is dividing people in the country australia depends on coal for Energy Production and Prime Minister Scott Morrison is a champion of fossil fuels he regularly plays down the stretch of Climate Change and he has many supporters. Its hard to believe that this used to be a lush Green Landscape the last time any significant amount of rain fell here was 3 hours ago. Since then things have gone from bad to worse on the war on familys farm grain cant grow and the livestock have nothing to graze on. 15 cows are being loaded on to the transporter today theyre quite well fed so theyll still think decent price. But this is essential to a clearance sale. Weve got a bit to undergo any. Brain cares left but and were doing so in a truckload every way can approach it will create show in the truckload every wait until it runs this cant go forward born and will fade if you cant sell them over to the what i want to sell him because what he had a good many on ground and got married stocks i can my time money but were buying Foreign Trade for 3 years so i just kind of the point just cant be a pawn anymore. The worlds have been farming here for generations theyve experienced good times and bad but they may now have reached rock bottom thats the catch harvey boys isnt it me and theyve been doing theyve been looking out side this is our farm and the boys are up there and they are in gordons brain injured. Carrying all this light as well. Ok after 3 dots. So badly over the place that i met with you boys today because that had come and i want to. They dont want to give up they want to keep going the world brother say they think things will improve eventually and the rain will come again one day its just definitely were going to draw a spell 100 years ago were in the same situation where we are now and not 50 years before that scientists rushing in the spring good in the middle late not do it but i only want to show you the bad bits are that. This is a. Climate change what i do in order to want to actually a chance to action its a money going to fix it thats not going to fix it. Right. The officials are. Many australians dont want to talk about Global Warming and Climate Change including farmers though one might think they would feel the impact most directly theres no point in sowing in this dust the seeds would just be blown away by the way. Periods of unpredictable rainfall and high temperatures are growing longer and more frequent thats still climate scientists like Lesley Hughes find it hard to get their message across certainly some that are us that are cynical of the science that dont like to feel that that humans are responsible for Something Like this the science can be confusing if People Choose not to try to understand it but its also a fact that a stranger still relies very heavily on coal and other fossil fuels for a healthy economy it doesnt really matter where we look Climate Change is right in our faces right now. Neal westcott is unpopular with his neighbors his friends and even his family hes one of the few farmers here saying we have to accept that Climate Change is real i think its unfortunate that. Climate change is something that is so polarizing. 30 said its the worst were in one camp or the other you cannot. Talk a tendency to think thats thought out rush if it was a problem it is a detail you are going and actually scuttling a lot of things that should be happening there to stop what might happen in the future. But neil doesnt have an answer to the question of what exactly should be happening the awareness is there but theres little willingness to change. Neil isnt an environmental activist he sprays life or saved on his fields and his farm machines are gas guzzlers. Hes hoping that experts will find solutions that wont hurt technical advances to relieve the pressure on the climate and secure the future of farming in australia has always been hard on and i dont show for the generations past its going to really talk so you never want to be the last dont want to be the one that couldnt make it so its very. Hard. To sometimes forced like decisions you dont want to buy. In the tiny town of vera dean as an example of how bleak the outlook here but its also an example of togetherness and the crisis. In the world brothers mother volunteers at the local Womens Association she collects donations for farmers affected by the drought their need is not only material. Very concerned about the Mental Health of the main arabia they are very concerned i would say the word but i think i. Wouldnt be surprised if something happened. The unmentionable fact is that the suicide rate is climbing for sun it feels like the only way out of a hopeless situation the drought is a cause of great distress its been going on so long and theres no end in sight. Well planet is suffering and were not taking the necessary steps to stop it the World Bank Says the amount of waste we produce globally will rise from 2000000000. 00 tons in 2016 just 3400000000. 00 tons by 2050 knots an increase of 70 percent. Plastics a particularly harmful. They also take far longer to decompose than all the waste and over a 3rd of the plastic we produce is for disposable packaging things like plastic plates cutlery boxes most of which is single use. There really no alternatives i know would winning thai entrepreneur is developing a new type of packaging one that comes from the fields and is entirely composed of. Reported. Met up with in thailands pang province. After every harvest thailands rice farmers burn off the remaining rice straw and stubble to clear that. The acrid smoke carries far and wide on the wind. In the Northern Province of lampung the harvest is underway since early in the morning women have been out in the fields cutting the sheaves with their sickles. Its time for a lunch break. I know. Some guys i have been doing this work for generations. Its not a big deal. Now you know we women are strong and i think. Theres a lot of straw left on the field. Typically a kilogram a kilogram of rice if its left to rot it will release me fame a potent Greenhouse Gas but burning the straw emits c o 2 and creates fine particulate matter thats harmful to people and the environment. One come one wants to change things after completing her studies in bangkok she decided to return to her home village and develop an alternative i mean its not. I mean a fundamental occupation its very hard working when i grow rice and to this its a sort of long time and after the ice so its been its very nice that when i come to my hometown i dont share that life will rise much i find solutions far off learning for for the entrepreneur rice troys not waste to be disposed of but a valuable resource. On she pays the farmers the equivalent of 0. 03 a kilo. The golden stalks are brought by the truckload to honey or by factory. Here the straw is chopped up because the air is full of fine straw particles everyone has to wear a face mask. Then the small pieces of straw a mixed with hot water no chemicals are added but the mixture has to boil for 4 hours. That produces a pulpy mess which is then cleaned and dried. On the factory floor we meet up again with the farmers from the rice field. Beacon yes this is a very good thing. It used to be that we had no work after the. Rice harvest didnt know that with this factory job i can improve my income whether you want to him and go thank you if. The pope is used to make biodegradable paper and packaging but machines to process the pulp are expensive so the entrepreneur exports the raw material to india we have the customer because in india there are bassam large off morning and face your ass and then less often raw material and contact us and they add very interesting you know our product because. Our product and see the special feature of the table way is a thin coating of rice starch which helps the product resist greased heat and liquids in a 2 hour test with a popeye a salad the dish stayed leakproof. Nice. The next day we pay a visit to the city of chiang mai the economic and cultural heart of northern thailand. One common one stops by a buddhist temple.

If you want to start up your own Production One vendor says and Pay Attention to the size it. Shouldnt be too large or the customers will think the portions are too small and the price is important 1. 00 box but piece would be ok. I am looking at it one box is the equivalent of 0. 03.

But meanwhile they have ample reason to be proud of. And as the saying goes the rice farmers of lump of love how to turn a straw into gold. Because burning it would be a terrible waste. And on this weeks global snack we head to the middle east to try out a traditional treat. For. Every evening people gather on a street in downtown soleimani a city in the autonomys kurdish region in Northern Iraq to stroll chat and eat. Car one is male opened his stall a year ago.

Shove that up for grabs me i sort of shift a hoss i make it in front of my guests so its hot and fresh. Try to get it there were several that. Said you have every costs of 1000 dinars up but to put it in our lives. Thats about 0. 80. Businesses best on the weekend sulaiman ia is well known for its lively nightlife. But also its different every day sometimes i feel 100 sometimes 300 but. The city and region have been recovering from years of war most recently the onslaught of the socalled islamic state. Both the situation has improved back then people didnt go out they didnt have jobs or money but now things are looking up better but on the better people are doing of it the better it is for me to get out of a bunch of women by. Car one is no its busy with plenty of gas every night of the week. Thats what i always eat shifter when i come here. Its the best meal. Seeing as were already on the topic of food lets head to mexico in the countrys rural areas traditional cuisine is still very much an integrity part of life but how much longer are reports a catchy adjourned i traveled to china in mexico to meet local people who are determined to preserve their traditions in the kitchen and out in the fields. In the village of cotton as the men set off for work in the morning the women meanwhile are already hard at work theyre busy cooking the range of dishes bubbling away in their pots and pans is impressive thats because in the evening theyre expecting a visitor. Someone whos a great fan of their cooking skills. So what are they making. Sure you get in the am to herbs to the corn to make a time allas when theres the tomato sauce. Tamales are a Traditional Mexican dish made with corn joe coated with various sources there then wrapped and cooked in banana leaves const where you have had a son toss cooks every day with a mother who is 93 years old. Not only are you still pink. There they enjoy cooking. The women work hard in the kitchen every day but they receive no money for what they do and very little recognition yet they are the ones who decide what ends up on the table each day which produce from the region is used and whether or not their families have a balanced and healthy diet. But the women here in cardenas are getting help from a Nongovernmental Organization called d n i it promotes traditional farming methods the n. G. O. S run by a Single Family father mother and son have been working together for years. That it only works because i mediate between the 2 of them. Respect is very important to each of us has our own area of expertise. In the town of santiago open are a few hours drive away da i is hosting a local trade fair for seeds farmers from the area are presenting their best corn and pumpkins the goal is to promote local crops and traditional farming methods and also to protect biodiversity. Showing the rich variety of crops that are grown here and over different colors. Each color is good for a particular dish or drink. Each corncob has its. A reason why it should be grown. And each corn crop gets registered at the fair with the farm its named the color of the crop and how many rows of corn are on each cog anyone who needs a particular variety can get seeds directly from the farmer rather than buying them commercially thats making it easier. Well mr diversify strain or no the last one doesnt work that this is a muscle around here for example the black the red and the spotted corn have started to disappear theyre not being grown as much and we want to revive these types of corn and reintegrate them back into farming. And what is that. The idea of registering each corncob exactly is designed to encourage the farmers to grow local for rioting rather than buying industrially produced seeds. This corner was grown by we knew gomez. Hes one of the local farmers. On his land all know power as the fields and then here he grows pumpkins beings and above all from a nice. Thank you for still here i have yellow corn and rice and i think there are 14 rows of that. I mean a goose i like to grow lots of different colors i have 4 here altogether of course my white and yellow black and red. And sometimes ive had pink spotted or purples that minister. Because theyve crossed propagated in the field circus is a gruesome but this rich variety on the seeds that we knew gomez used to get started were all handed down through the family employees to my skin. This type of corn here for example has been around for a long time where my grandfather grew it and so did my father. I like his variety and ill never stop growing it here they say mass. Corn was 1st cultivated by the Indigenous Peoples of mexico thousands of years ago despite the many alternatives available these days most farmers here prefer to use seeds from the region. Meanwhile use aliah and ricas from v. A. I. Has arrived in the village of card in us. Her focus is on the women in the region shes been coming to the village regularly for years. And there are gender roles are strictly defined in this region so its much easier for the women here to trust another woman and so we Work Together in. This a year and the women from the village have completed a very unusual project they produce their own cookbook full of their own recipes complete with photos. There they did the book to encourage women to use the produce they grow in their gardens. And of course we wanted them to be proud of their recipes with. Each woman was asked to contribute her favorite recipe describing exactly how she prepares it and which local ingredients she uses in the book was given out for free in the village you can also be downloaded online in the evening the women present a small selection of their dishes for each show what theyve been cooking today tell us your name. Consuelo luis today i made a chicken hot pot.
