consumption and production of how many people and the planet on this edition of eco, india, we explore efforts underway, fixed appropriate food system. hello, welcome. i'm some of that, i'm food waste is one example of just how broken the system is. why millions of people remain under fed. more than one quarter of the food produced robin goes to wrist. yet in india, an estimated 40 percent is discarded. we visited and deli based start up, that's rescuing food destined from the dump by transforming it into feed for animals. ah, it's feeding dying on his dairy farm, and am bol the state of her young farm? jaundra morn has been in the business for 40 years. he's mindful that his cows get new just died. the hell didn't stronger animals, the better and more abundant the milk eater is available yet the still can't them gaining but now we have excess. do a good for you to play flat. we get more milk using it. and it keeps our animals heli, it said out of a lot of in a, of this for the, the suspicion it's made from food waste processed by the daily basis daughter. gracefully the company collect leftover food that it gets free of charge, and that would otherwise be discarded from $700.00 locations and more than 50 cities across india. the company sees that mix it the largest food recycler in the country. food waste is one of the largest weights the segments in india. and if you see the last 50 years, there has been work that has happened in plastics. recycling and electronic waste recycling or when it comes to food, which does not in any innovation. the last 2 years, the solution, the most popular solution to food waste that it, that is like, ah, most accepted form is composting or by gas. but composter was an unsatisfactory solution for snack manufacturer. to be honest. the company began producing healthy snacks from vegetables 4 years ago. demand is high and as production has increased, so to has the quantity of its nutrient backed graps. if i talk about, during our initial days, od says though volume was not that high. so the visitors were very live. but now they're of your playing in the volumes. now they're 5 percent expose and is there enough volume and which has to be recycled or, you know, mitigated on may be put into the best use that we can do. the company now passes it's damaged goods on to westlake. that saves does not produce a disposal costs and supplies whistling with more of the raw materials. it needs for its feed production. noodles of potatoes are so direct, you to farmers is big feet. most other food waste is dried and ground. it is then packaged and delivered to animal food produce when the, when it arrives to the facility, it, you know, it is offload it. we know we way it up by category to make sure that we are accurately available. what quantity of what category we have on that is punched into the inventory that we receive. and depending on the nutrition formulation of the, of the product that we have picked, we would decide what is the end goal over that goes into cattle, poultry, aqua or swine? ah, and then we prepared formulation mixes. but the recycling of leftover food is still the exception in india, even though it saves money and protect the $1.00 most risk to simply lift wrought out of decomposes it consumes oxygen and releases methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, or g a g for short. oh, so for example, if food lawson based was a country, it would have been the 3rd largest carbon emitter like gm, gm, and i only off to china and usa. so if you look at the problem, it's huge and there is a lot of potential to reduce a food loss and vs and all the emissions and everything that goes into its input food produces on suddenly to blame for the mountains of food list, 40 percent of the food produced in india is loss due to an efficient supply chains . huge quantities of spoil as a result of long transport ropes. an inadequate refrigeration social habits also play a role. play example in india in some cultures. deep breath, what food left. otherwise it's like they've not made enough so they would want that they're still food on the table, but that can be taken care of that. but that's again a thank you. the issue converting food risk into animals fought is one way to limit the garbage. due date, westinghouse processed 5000 tons, and the market is growing with almost 540000000 animals. india has the largest livestock population and the bird demand for dr. feed is greater than the available supply. that's life feed manufacturer, shot he has been buying additional feet from business for the past 4 years to save on gone and grain cost in nor does better than oil. also, if you were lou, said gunderson liliana in marysville underwood, bernezi enforcer or neural william during the oil were lou. and then a gerald and william it's nutritional value makes the feet of grinning solution for gender among the farmer's animals are healthy and happy. and the father is cheaper than conventional bronze. well, as that report shows, food raised for many of us is an invisible process. that doesn't start in our kitchens. when we throw out anita left or was us boy produce. it begins out on the farms and in the fields where food is produced. that's where to log on to zation and spin is focusing its efforts in harvests or faculty edible fruit and vegetable rejects. and billy was them to food banks, adding nutritional value to handouts for the needy. it's all hands on deck in this spinach field just outside barcelona and i got us and the team of volunteers are collecting all they can to day their efforts will supply many needy people in the region with fresh food weiss k. wow. there's so much, i can't really gauge how much. yeah, but it should be enough to feed $100.00 families or even more on the corner must anna gras. worse for the speaker ladders. the glee nurse, the non profit organization collects left over crops after the commercial harvest on many fields in spain's catalonia region. this practice was more common before industrialized farming and the introduction of strict regulations. now it has been revived here by the s b will adults around 8 percent of the world's crops are believe to be lost at harvest time. the european union fruit and vegetables are rejected to fed too big or small and don't comply with appearance standards. see out as tom was a new god, but they were in law fields of spinach that hasn't been sold on the market because there was not enough demand for it under in don't they see? not the we had i was call him though. so if we wouldn't be harvesting the spinner, generally ali mean it would go to wayne asked her to be in the same capacity of the farmer would simply plow through the field here with his trying to get her to prepare it for the next harvest. but update, but i got so what we're doing here is removing the spinet. she's got to give it a 2nd opportunity. oh, but oddly enough, they will know what the lead up last year alone, her organization saves over 600000 killers of fruit and vegetables. in this way, the water and c o 2 emissions invested in their growth were not in vain. the rescued produce arrives in this warehouse. it's then distributed to charities across the region. avid the economic fall out from the pandemic demand that feigns food banks has at times doubled. now rising prices and economic uncertainty caused by the warn, ukraine are putting more pressure on the vulnerable gardening up on our phone to coordinate the deliveries at the warehouse in barcelona port a lap. lucky young anthony, i'm actually the people who are most in need have the poorest diet. what going on? because in the end, the cost of food determines what they eat theater, but at ensuring that they're supplied with a minimum of high quality, basic producing which is very important for these people's health. if they in let me finish how they qualify the volunteers activities helped build momentum for the drafting of a regional bill to prevent food loss and waste. recently passed, the legislation promotes the practice of cleaning as a solution. a similar law will come into force nationwide as big will others found our media barava is proud of that. she started the organisation in 2014. now she also runs in operation on the outskirts of fossil luna. that produces its own brand of preserves, made from food that otherwise would be thrown away to day sir, cooking a pumpkin recipe and apple sauce. people who work here come from disadvantaged backgrounds and have struggled with exclusion. no, but other than we begin, if this is only a small factory, let me ask is that a key? but unlike in an industrial sized factory of people who work hair, get the chance to try their hand at different jobs idea in every step of the production process. backing up with a socket though, would it have if they they can prepare fruit and vegetables and cook them. they money but they can learn how to come them or how to rush on them. then bessalo, they the 5th gather it's a spring board to few to job opportunities. catalina morales moved from honduras to spain, hoping for a better future. 4 years she struggled. the job here is a lifeline. me day about about and her team helped to obtain the work permits she never had before. now she has a steady income or more meet on that with an immigrant. you don't have a lot of opportunities to work. you either work on an hourly basis without a contract and they don't pay you the same. or you just take any job whatever comes out without documents at all. very complicated. not only for me, but also for my daughter. but i almost gave up and went back to honduras city me landfill, a notice on mountain that in the past few years around 50 people found a job here. financing is generated for the sales of the preserves and state funding committee about about needs more soon. she wants to expand them. awesome. although they embrace us. yeah, we created a social business model that has 3 ames so here let's get the reduction of food loss mainly of vegetables on free element the right to healthy nutrition for every one, but especially for those and a vulnerable situation. the but i pull that off before and we also wanted to offer job opportunities for these people out in it out of what may have, how would i look for if that was one that was put into promoting this projects as a model that can work not only on a national scale, but also internationally that did wonder because in every city there are these 3 necessity as it which of the reason we exist at the, on an existence that depends on plenty of helping hands. the people here are happy to be contributing to a circular economy and social justice was that all had people in the long run with our goal is to disappear galia. but that would only happen if the problem of food loss and the other social challenges we face and we're sort of different. so there might be a bit utopian. he annoyed the galena self. barcelona are likely to have their work cut out for years to come. because there are still plenty of fields with an abundance to share sign to see the global food system is harling the planet towards the climate disaster. not least because it's responsible for a thought on greenhouse gas emissions. capital and other livestock produced the same amount of carbon emissions as the combined output of all the world's vehicles, terean's ships and airplanes. many people have quit to meet with the aim of reducing their individual footprint. but as i report, i discovered dairy products have similar effects on the environment. though there may be valid pleasing alternatives to make g as you need mill and to make milk, you need animals, the emit loads of greenhouse gas emissions and use lots and lots of water. i mean, i really low chaise, but we need to talk about it. how hard is this piece premium the environment, do i need to stop eating cheese and how the alternatives any better? and the best way to find out make some cheese yourself. cheese makers, paul, and you'll have agreed to let me look over their shoulder for the day. paul used to work for lob scaled terry operations, but gave it up to create his own cheese. and here comes the milk. we just need a couple of minutes for about 250 leaders. how many liters do you actually need to make one kilogram take out that depends on the chaise recipe. so it also depends on the composition of the mill. we're quite lucky here. we are working with milk from jessica's base pairs pretty small group, very high solid the amount of mill that is used is actually extremely important because depending on which study you're looking at between 80 and 95 percent of cheese, as greenhouse gas emissions come from the milk, so the more milky use the worse for the planet. more than half of those emissions come from the farming process, because cows and other mil cruising animals fart and breathe out methane aghast. that is $84.00 times more potent than c o. 2 at heating the planet. but milk from different kind of animals have different carbon footprints, cow and buffalo milk have the lowest with 2.8 and 3.4 kilograms of c o 2 per kilogram of milk. goat and she milks impact is more than double that with 5.2 and 8.4 kilograms of c. o. 2. so mega animals pollute the planet. less per kilogram of milk. that's because cows or buffaloes just produce more milk than a goes or shaped, for example. and because all these animals are ruminants and pump out methane, jesus covered footprint is actually bigger than that of poultry and even pork. more emissions than meat that is absolutely insane. but anyway, now that we got the milk, we need to heat it up and at some bacteria the go to day turning this into a gummy socrates. what we're starting here is a process called fermentation. the bacteria feast on the sugar that in the milk and break it down. after a while, we add a liquid called rennet. this is what turns our concoction into cheese as it restructures the case in it, a protein that can only be found in animals melt. and yes, it really works, our milk is suddenly solid just for me to cut it into pieces again. and so neil realised that 200 leaders of more can quite screw. now we have to work quickly. the current needs to go into these molds while it's still warm and be flipped after a couple of minutes. after another 2 or 3 hours, all of these molds go into the ripening room. a cheese makers, treasure chamber. the processor accounts for between 2 to 18 percent of cheeses, final c o 2 emissions. but of course, the longer you need to keep it at a certain temperature and humidity for it to become really tasty. the more energy it uses, new day, another cheese maker, but today we are producing the vague in our tentative and here cash use are the main ingredient that us, that's the wonderful thing about cassia. we can make a nice mill from them if we soak them, clean them and crush them. yet this produces a smooth milk that can be processed into cheese alternatives. the way animal milk would be for normal cheese production either for ob, i did that and con. and after i've ground down, all these cashews bacteria cultures will be added to start the fermentation process . just like you would when making cheese from animal milk. they are all thought of ingredient forces alternative, su, hellman, oh boy, and even olive oil and in the radius abundance of the progressive to calculate the greenhouse gas emissions. water and las vegas alternative vegan cheeses are fairly new. so there aren't a lot of studies on there and by mental impact yet, which is why we can only compare what it takes to grow the most popular ingredients, cache use almonds and the new kid on the block. oh, it's the dutch national institute for public health and the environment compared different environmental impacts. other studies claim different impacts, but for easy comparison, i'm sticking to this one. making cheese emits way more c o 2 than vegan alternatives. one is the bacteria have started their work during the fermentation process. the herbs and spices are added to this version is what the company called chuck calico to become as delicious as possible. it goes through a similar ripening process as real cheese, where the bacteria continue their work. looking at the science though, it takes quite a lot of water to grow cashews. the dutch study found water consumption to be as high as 2000 liters per kilogram of cash use. but it's not just the number that's important. the impact depends a lot on the region where the cash use are ground. does it rain a lot or is it a waters cast region? for example, in vietnam, cashews are mainly grown in areas with relatively little water stress. but the opposite is generally true for brazil or booking our fossil. alrighty. and now i'm really curious how that is going to taste. oh yeah, it has years mail and tastes a lot of herbs. the consistence is actually pretty similar to like cream cheese. what with her pin star as really read? all right, all right. all right. that was pretty good even for cheese love a, but if you want to go full out on saving the planet, go for owed based options, but they are just starting to hit the supermarket shelves. now, real cheese will always be my number one, but i'll try to switch it up with some tasty alternatives. so if we can get me on dairy, what can me eat to save the climate? and in short, food security banks may be answered by any, as all over the world. i'm developing sustainable products made out of the larvae of black soldier flies in germany. it seems there's just one sticking point standing in the way of its success. the red tape of bureaucracy. it could be so easy. breeding harmless little flies to lay eggs which turned into maggots with a voracious appetite for food waste. and the larvae can be turned into tasty, high protein. burger's good for the climate and the environment. though it's not quite that straightforward yet. but 1st things 1st. welcome to the love shack of the black soldier, fly, a creature by the name her meteor in lupin's highly cons is a superstar among fly farmers. he'd love to expand his farm and be part of the insect protein revolution. and the larvae are up to the job. they have a racial appetite and gobble up everything from food waste to animal excrement. and true glutton fashion. their body weight increases 6000 fold and just 3 weeks. the problem is you regulations forbid the farmer from feeding them food waste. when were last snow? yes, mark. if you're a pioneer doing something new or you're going to really enjoy what you're doing and be enthusiastic about it, what often you do, bumping to challenges in a lot, especially in the case of disruptive innovation, as you might find yourself facing regulatory hurdles, avi trends and the e u is concerned about the sanitary conditions of the larvae which live in their own feed and feces in 6 live in their feet, they live in their own feet. so you have to make sure that there is no risk of contamination between the feet which day if and the insect protein, which is the final product and which will be consumes. this is why they're currently fed on pink feed because they will dish this up here is o kara, which is great for our young larvae. acora is a byproduct of tow for production for yesterday. and this is in the us. but there are more efficient solutions available, like in kenya, we're handling con, says also set up a fly farm with indoor plumbing, a rarity in many poorer districts. a startup has set up portable lavatories and so like good places the excrement is later collected and mixed with food waste a blend that's perfectly suited to the black saunter. fly larvae he lost and found on july the larvae, or then fed to pigs and chickens life, that we've had the system up and running for a couple of years now with 0 problems and no cases of animals getting sick, i didn't even office, show them despite its concerns the you says it wants to promote larvae farming, which could be a sustainable source of protein and a meat substitute. nearly 100 percent of the maggots can be consumed, either by livestock or humans. there is far less waste than when pigs chickens or cows are on the dinner plate. plus the maggots shells can be used as a fertilizer or for making cosmetic products and even medications. you know that you've been has a doctor action plan for a circular column, and we have adopted the for the farm to for strategy where we want to develop resilient and sustainable food supply chains. and one of the things which are being assessed there is whether you feed substrates for insects are focused on former food stamps. could be considered as a source, a future. before waste can be used this way. the e wants proof that as a safe product as its own sklar, that we know that we need to deliver empirical evidence that had safely hunger synthesis wookey fail. but the e u is basically making that impossible because they won't grant us an exemption pharmacademic or a fuel creek. so we're being asked to provide evidence while being denied the means to do so. it was the community guys gave. we can only hope that will be granted exemptions at the local level, and that the you doesn't put a spanner in the works we often discussed on or sufficient her college. for now, i know his chances ground fly larvae can only be fed to dogs and fish, but it all goes well. larvae could be the next big thing in the food industry. food has cultural, religious, and so side to live. last stud on it, and it may not be possible for all of us to make the switch to sustainable alternatives immediately. but the solution to every problem starts with an acknowledgement and acknowledgement from each one of us, that the way we produce food today is broken. change begins here. think about that and i'll see you again next week. good bye. and thanks for watching. ah, with ah, ah, he's trying to stand behind them d, w, news, africa. this shows that the issues shape in the continent. life is slowly getting back to normal here on the streets to give you in the report on the inside, our correspondence with on the ground reporting from across the continent and all the trends doesn't matter to you. in 30 minutes on d w. a. do you like it with?
