Dominance. Get us to help with d. W. Business beyond fresh food galore in germany, were used to supermarkets brimming with produce. But often it has come from far away. That makes our supply chains. Vulnerable is a kind of the war and ukraine is revealing our limitations we can tell from the empty shelves, what didnt come from germany assigned to heal thought on. Come, we need to feed more and more people globally. But intensive farming threatens the environment and our survival if we use for this will echo cuts of practices. The next 2000000000 people that will be there in the year 2015, we will need and learn better. The source of brazil. Its time to switch to Sustainable Farming practices and new food sources. If we want to support the global for chain and or for an alternative, and then we need to growth a lot of soon. What food will we eat in the future . Aah farmer eunice should send me half has been refining this recipe for a long time. Its Something Special he thought up for his 3 children. When done though, to the thick life an art, this is going to be a kind of chick pito for you. Im going to cut it into little fish shapes for my children, fish form schneider. Then im going to fry it a bit so it gets that extra bit of flavor done. Its a meal made almost entirely from chick peas. And that comes apart from the spices entirely from local production, disfigure. Now im about to look at to avoid a chick peas or a gar, bonds, or beans, or a protein rich pulse from the middle east that the farmer has begun to grow in eastern germany. He thinks agriculture and eating habits need to change a marcia nelnet swamped al sin. How should we eat in the future . Is eating snips or every day isnt good, was in, it probably isnt good to eat just lattice every day either to cover up at variety the, i think thats the most important thing. That means we dont have to go without anything like that. But it means that our food is very varied and nutritious armada via their feet fetish and i shall tish and send an con. Hm. At his farm in the german state of saxony, unhurt units choice. And me half grows. All kinds of super foods today he solely tina was seeds. The grain is native to the south american andes, but feels increasingly at home here than vianza. Manuel, if we keep on growing what we always have was from them, were not going to get anywhere in the fight. Climate change means getting used to the idea of cultivating different crops sitting on. Thats why i find it really interesting, fun and keen. Why is really healthy and tasty . Like im enjoying doing this and i think thats the most important thing. But if you enjoy something you can do it while hadnt come on. So i felt like when showed sidney, huff took over his fathers farm 8 years ago. It produced traditional crops like wheat mays and sugar beach. But he decided to switch to non native crops or forgotten ones, is gearing up for the future with nutritious and more resilient crops, better suited to new climate conditions. And thats annoying at both. On the one hand, i want to try out new things. And on the other hand, i want to have long term goals. Thats important to me. And my father always said farming is about thinking and generations. And i try to live by that principle, under phys, always had alkaline so called super food like keen, why are becoming more popular due to their high nutritional value. But demand for keen, why here is driving up prices in south america and threatening their supplies. Yet this hardy, pseudo grain now thrives in europe too, does not seem as in the thing of, it makes much more sense to produce things locally. If its possible value dealing with a my, a certain degree of globalization will always remain, im sure you can, but we save an amazing amount of energy and emissions by avoiding unnecessary transportation. And of course, it would be great if we could grow our own food supplies. Plug in new drug resistant crops, could help in saxony. Unhealthy spring rainfall is dropping, and summers are getting hotter and dryer. Keen, why is a timely solution . It needs a 3rd of the water required by wheat of food and agricultural scientist or to gov inca is supporting the adventurous farmer. Together theyre checking how the 1st seeds of the year are developing. Yes, and this has come up quite well. Ya know, of it. Yes. Its coming up quite well in the field. Theres a lot of weeds growing up between and we cant see the rows of siblings from the tractor. The colonel. So we cant use machinery for hoeing at the end of the machine. Back of the to sonics crops, new to the region like keen why and practically forgotten ones like hemp mean a lot of trial and error. Things can go wrong. But diversity is key madison from the missiles theres risk with all crops. If the weather isnt right the my crops might fail, and obviously from that point of view, i am reducing my risk by diversifying this eigen dish. It is unlikely, but all my crops will fail at once. So she does your coach launched jolla. Of course there are costs attached to the learning process really isnt sorta so, but we are investing quite a lot of work in something with an uncertain and a very uncertain outcome on the business. But its an investment for the future house gunk on other than investments. Wanted to quote, can what it sounds. Kima is a super food. It has plenty of calories and its very healthy and bringing it here is also an opportunity to diversify what we eat tongues unless i as a pinch of item bought a galvan, current one saxony, unharmed to become a super food producer. The agricultural scientist has set up an organization to achieve this goal. Ah. Used vouchers. Vision for farming in the future doesnt involve cultivating the land at all. Oh, got from dialogue. The river on board with him are german marine biologist, zavy ash, cows and developer. Leaning a home on their workplace is in a sense, under water. 124. 04 from here, for from here. Down in the water. There is something that they would like to see enriching the diets of people in europe see lead ah, ah. There are estimated to be hundreds of thousands of species of algae world wide. Only a fraction has been researched, seaweed can be cultivated on ropes, etc. Sylvia sch, house quickly identifies the types of edible seaweed basses into that sugar color. Now this green one is say, let us live, you can eat that to come on all se danasia is, and thats what coming on does it weighs at least maybe 3 or 4 kilos. Divide through kilo that isnt ours. Filter thats for dinner for now. In europe, this slippery stuff is still regarded with a little suspicion in many parts of asia. By contrast, seaweed has long been popular vouchers would like to see it catch on in europe too, and help make our diet healthier and more diverse. Now the world mainly eats rice, wheat, corn, and meat that promotes the rise of mana cultures. Makes us dependent on just a few types of food and vulnerable to crisis. If he wants to support the global food chain and offer an alternative or re neve, the stress on the current system. And then we need to grow a lot of seaweed 4 years ago about a set up the seaweed company. Before that he worked for an unhealthy or part of the food and drinks industry. He was a manager for a beak soft drinks company. The birth of his son led to a rethink. Now im making plans to get children drinking more does beverages, but my boy gets older, i dont want him to drink. And then i realized that those Big Companies that exist, its very hard for them to change. And actually i dont think they can change. They wanted, they ride it on their social media, but in the end its just nothing. Currently his Company Operates 9. See wed farms cultivating the species that are native to the local ecosystems. The beauty of see read is that it grows in water. We dont need length, it doesnt need fertilizer. It doesnt need fresh water c, wed also absorbs a lot of c o 2. A lot more than most things grown in soil because it develops a lot faster. So if you roughly calculate every 1000 kilograms of wet, see weve has a sore 100 and printed kilograms of seo to to help popularize it in the european market. The team is also developing new recipes and products. The area around matt to book is one of germanys corn baskets or to calvin co wants to use its fertile soil to start a new trend together with her team and farmers like, una should sidney hoff. Shes introducing new arable crops to saxony on height. Shes using his farm as a test field. As will blame us in the problem is that most farmers experiment a bit out, but because theres no scientific supervision, they dont get listen till denisa like to hurt as entity. Only him, youre only deemed important when the university is on board till the researcher from the university of hollow is using her standing to back this agricultural transformation at the moment, just under 16 percent of what is harvested worldwide, directly ends up on our plates. 72 percent of it is turned into animal feed and 11. 7 percent is used as biofuel or as an industrial commodity. In mission viejo, via awfully we have to move towards producing more food and away from animal feed and fuel type stuff. And above all we need vegetables hold a moment at the moment its brought in from around the world. Well, id like local agriculture to increase and become more crisis resilient rushdin. If we ate less meet, there would be enough food for another 4000000000. 00 people. Thats another reason why or to count ankle and her students are looking for plants that might thrive locally. With whatever flourishes here in the test garden could help guarantee Food Security in the future. The colonized lot, we need new species. Thats why we have this garden of to morrow here and for the fall. So farmers dont have to try things out on their fields as were doing a bit of the legwork in advance for we can say yes, it works and you can try it out. Look, its growing really well or what . No. Lets take one is i have battled look, does this lentils dont really work in your soil or chick peas need . Those particular conditions have to pop at the and east on uh, getting on. The students are recording every experiment. Theyre amazed at how many non native species grow . Well in this part of eastern germany live over in here. Were trying quite a lot of the pretty crazy way out with things here. For example, the potato bean, malavar spinach and perennial cale would really wild was as organs public as i am. So come spies in or a future foods is the name of the project. It promotes kilowatt and chic peace. Millet sloop heaney beans, ham seeds and lentils. Some were wide spread here, but fell out of favor. Now theyre making a comeback. When did it even sucrose . Faison is the idea of sucrose. Shy isnt, is from farm to table is often to get farmers and cooks and trying out new types of produce trying out different systems, new agricultural systems of the see the local Cultivation Team of new plans here. And i still often i have london until bonnie, but system change can only work if every one participates. Shes convinced of that. And shes got a plan in in the local youth hostel. The agricultural scientist is giving cookery courses together with her colleague, lena horne at lynn of atlanta. What are we doing with the game . What am i a day were going to make a king was solid and a came watching p. Patty hotly at the workshops, local cooks chefs and bakers are learning how to best prepare the new ingredients. If agricultural system change is going to work, their role is vital and asthma was in been one. It only makes sense if you can get what the farmers are growing on to peoples plate sensing, sighing. So we are showing people who work with good what to do with it, because youre bakers what to do with it. And thats the basic idea, i guess, for the one to put it simply hang from farm to table from fed. Often tell us the baker is trying his hand at making hummus from regional chick piece kids with honda too much lemon juice. Oh, its our me. Its absolutely new for me and i am a regular baker who uses ry wheat flour and salt. But ive got 30 years working life ahead of me, and this is the future. My children, my took over my Bakery Business and i want to build a foundation when its on last alternative. Im looking forward to a level before most of the hostile cook is also enjoying the change museum. Woke up, it doesnt always have to be potatoes and why not use Something Different for a change that can be just as easily cultivated, you know, something from the region which is sustainable. Keen was salad with beetroot and apples. For instance. A local choir is getting to sample the food, all the ingredients are vegan, hollow and kosher. So the cook doesnt have to offer alternatives and can put on a really good buffet without spending more. So hows it going down . Minute talk. My daughter clicks like this. So im a bit familiar with it when i have and i think its good. But to personally, im still a bit conservative, you know nonfiction quite a lot more hotly. No, i would also make a patty from chick peas from buffer. We know it from falafel and so on. Its good, definitely of info yes most. And now well have to see what went down well and what didnt. And will need to continue supervising micah the time. But go to calvin glass to attend to other things. First. On an inconspicuous building on the edge of copenhagen. Could it be the solution for many of our food problems . Owner sleeman certainly think. So. The name of his new fangled farm is nordic harvest. My background is as a financial analyst as an investment bank. And the 8th years ago, i was sitting doing an Incentive Program for the employees offer the bank which gave them the opportunity to earn 100 percent on top of their salary if they were high performers. So then i thought you said ok, just to sit and run some money for yourself and not do enough for the society. The banker became a farmer and set up europes largest indoor farm in the danish capital, for and as leman, vertical farming is a way to stop the destruction of ecosystems and feed the worlds growing population. At the moment 38 percent of the worlds land area is used for Food Production. It consumes 70 percent of fresh water and is responsible for 30 percent of Greenhouse Gas emissions at re months. Eco friendly, vertical farm crops grow without any soil at all. This is the roots, thorns directly in the water. The roots absorb nutrients from water more easily than from soil. So they need less fertilizer. The facility is also constantly recycling water. It uses almost 95 percent less than conventional vegetable farming. But the biggest challenge was finding the right lighting one day on my way home from the metro at 3 oclock at night. After going out in the town, i thought, what about it . The lights have that been developed enough to make photosynthesis for pen . So you can grow them in lay us in water. And in actual fact 20000 only the panels were able to function like sunlight and stimulate plant metabolism. The light looks purple because vertical farming combines different light spectrums to promote plant growth. We have a field which we put into an aluminum 30 and the aluminum will absorb heat and put it out in the room. The temperature here is between 22 and 26 degrees celsius, ideal growing conditions for salad and the Electricity Supply is carbon neutral. Thanks to wind power inside things grow a lot quicker. There are 15 harvests a year outside only 2. 00 to 4. 00. Vertical farming is independent of the seasons and climate conditions. Its more secure now off the foreigner and the wall and you frame, we are very vulnerable for security of so buying food. So we need to be able to have Food Production inside of the city as part of the input dropped. So shorter journeys also mean humans saves transport costs and avoid c o 2 emissions. Its just a few meters from the shelf to the harvesting machine. Most of the work is done by jeans, but the technology is still very expensive for size facility far would be about 45000000. 00 euro, because if the technology that have just been profitable, so when the philip are above and it can be profitable in all the countries of the world, they are not yet using the facilities entire surface, but already supply 120. 00 supermarkets went up to speed. The farm could produce some 1000 tons of leafy greens, 250 times more than conventional agriculture. From the same surface area. At the moment, nordic harvest only grows lettuce and herbs here. But more vegetables and fruits like strawberries are planned. Hello, laura. Hows it going . Good for him to do about the result. German plant scientist last may get ski overseas processes in the vertical farm. We want to keep them. Shes working with bacteria that will support plant growth. Yes, well do better. Thank you. Its thank of you. Hm. Yes. The gun petitioner, i think that we have all the technology here at hand, and we have to ensure that we also use it in a positive way for the future on were doing good pioneering work here to make progress on that front own. Thus, sponsoring population growth means that such trail blazing work is becoming more and more important for millions of people. Aah at the ost as swale. A barrier in the netherlands used devout us is tending his freshly harvested seaweed in the waterside facility. The seaweed is dried or kept fresh in water tanks for further processing. So what you see here is then the sea week after its finished. So this at the end of the season. Beautiful leaves of, or for a way exactly. You still see them here on the rope. This is not so you can see a full rope here. And then we, we cut it, and then we process it in our, in our products. He is already preparing new spores and glass flasks in the refrigerator. Ready for seating here you see the beginning of the whole life cycle. This is where the c re, babies, in a very early stage are growing and kept. And this is where we start the base material for see read. The spores will later be sprayed onto the ropes that will be dropped back into the water. But to day, he and his team are trying out a few products they intend to use to stir up the food industry. Finally, some fraud was that the whoa fell me. What do we have here . Low. So we have now see wed sausages and see burger away. Barbecued meats with seaweed. These sausages arent made from pure pork, but include 15 percent. See weir. This beef burger is 30 percent c, wed use fountas and his colleagues realized that not everyone was prepared to give up meet entirely and see wed helps to cut c o 2 manhattan cries. It means you can use 30 percent less meet. Thats less meant to be produced and of course its much more sustainable. Thus naturalists business now heidegger and cattle. Farming produces lots of the climate killers, methane and c, o 2. On average, the production of kilo of beef has a Carbon Footprint of 13. 6 kilos. If youre replaced 30 percent of the beef and beef burgers with seaweed, the Carbon Footprint would drop to 9. 5 kilograms per kilo. Marine biologist, sylvia house also wants to popularize a japanese dish in europe. Its a kind of seaweed fondue quickly. Turns green green immediately, but and now were take it out and dip id weights. But if i love it, its fantastic. Go ahead. In restaurants, we can, we can have this as a, as a our do say that as an experience. So you get some fresh, she read on one side, you put a phone view on the table. It is. This is really nice. Sometimes about us finds it hard to believe how far he and his company have come up 10 years ago. He was still a manager in the soft drinks industry and now he is working to create healthy food fit for the future. Hes moved by the thought that his vision might come true. I feel like if we can cultivate seaweed on a big scale and let the world no and benefit from what series can bring and offer alternatives for a fortune. I think then im happy man. Ah ah thought i hope everythings been fine with us after that. Oh great, um, so what do we have here . Chick peas, king law and hemp. When tons, money . Organic farmer eunice, should sidney huff and agricultural scientist old to cov ankle, had been working on their joint mission for 3 years now. With today, this super food expert is promoting their Climate Friendly and draught resistant foodstuffs at inorganic market. Defenders officially in law. I think its important to get into conversation with people and asked them whether they liked the food or not just was, what are they looking for . Do they have questions thats. Thats why i like going to the market. Its gone off. I want to listen to people and pass their feedback on to the farmers and into the field of research. So just give yourself enough men to look more and more people are getting into chick peas over the last 10 years, imports have risen fi fault. Ca vega would like to meet the demand domestically and gain more chick p fans i guess on 1st queen freshly mil to flour in bake them yesterday. Ive hardly ever seen some things over. I said also failed to get a flag of them. Thats true enough. Bessy im, theyre lovely. So crispin nutty one. And if you can eat chick peas but can eat not the great alternative has applied and ive even know how i am a soon as its my mission is to create farming and a future fit for coming generation. I want to get other people on board and give them a plan b and b again. Yes. To get them on board and tell them that there are ways of changing things. Okay. I have a sofa and none me. Youre not sure. Its in me. Huffs chick. Peas already for sewing in the idea of growing a new crop, came to him in his kitchen. Pulses contain a lot of protein, but domestic types like garden peas, dont grow so well here any more than i mentioned, it is more just cold now with native legumes because the weather the climate has changed with the mild winter, we saw a big rise and pests which magnet of into shot, and i was on the lookout for alternatives, and one thing led to the next. Now im growing chick peas. Come, id say, my name is alexia dicky of the farmers home ground chick. Peas have been on the market for 5 years now. And recently hes acquired a big customer in berlin, whos using them to make co food, something akin to tow. For mr. Medina, we need t less meet and more plan proteins that we need more variety than before matthew. And then i think we will be able to feed more people using less land, lloyd to thats what we have to aim for if we really want to survive as a society, as human beings on august 15, but youre not sure its a ne half is already making the switch to a new type of farming one that could ensure that theres enough food for every one. Ah ah, what people have to say matters to us. Mm. Thats why we listened to their stories. Reporter every weekend on d. W. I have been frightened, i have been beaten. I have been sick, a straight it because we tried to do cell dory of face of mafia all over the world. Environmentalists are in danger.
