A start and also for the restaurants its quite costly they have less guests they have less seats but on the other side they also have higher costs to keep social distancing and thats why there are still estimates out that 3040 percent of the restaurants in new york actually might eventually not survive the clear beneficiaries so far from the 10 demick obviously is the Digital World and that also shows on wall street the tech heavy nasdaq composite here on monday reached its 20th a record high of the Year Companies like microsoft or apple was new all time highs but at least restaurants do reopen at that i mean some of the jobs that we lost in the past couple of weeks and months might return all right yes quarter in new york thank you.

Back to germany nowhere rising numbers of infections that meat packing plants through a harsh light on that industry and renewed debate over the low price of meat in the country germanys organic industry is meanwhile seeing a boom there it also has its limits. Organic farmer who better hartman is heading to the pasture where his cows are grazing the animals are doing well and so is who betters himself. Inside theres a bigger demand from the consumers and as an organic farmer im pretty happy about the way things are going at the moment. Most of heartlands pigs are sold to a Meat Processing cooperative in the roar valley he and a 100 other farmers deliver 25 cows and 300 picks a week. A relatively small crew of just 40 staff process the meat organic meat production is considered to be better for the animal its also perhaps better for the workers who avoid working and the cramped conditions. We dont have the crumb to commendation like the subcontractors do that we have a permanent staff and we always have done our people are normal residents of the area were a local employer and the means a lot to us. Just as all fish dish. Organic meat can be highly sustainable as long as it has enough consumers in during the Coronavirus Crisis sales have been increasing the troubled times for the conventional meat packing industry have benefited organic produce is boosting a trend that had already begun farmer hartmans pigs and cows have been on the menu at the canteen at the state finance school for 6 years now it dishes up 750 servings of organic meat per day from the machines is offered in guest communities we had to communicate to add guests at their piece of meat it wasnt going to be 180 grams anymore but just 150 grams and while we were doing that and weve had a great response weve received a lot of support. So less but more sustainable meat can work in canteens the meat cooperative is hoping to make its way into supermarkets as well.
