Behind the sink, bugs that transmit diseases, things that destroy crops, i feel they can do. Lucas did yonge yukos the consumers, think they should just reach for the bug spray any time a bug could buy fallible . But i think the seed most people either have an aversion to infect or they just dont know or dont care. And i mean, well fix that feel and i have less sex, appealed and elephants a rang a tangs or pandas bon back. So i cannot identify with the slug a grasshopper or a cockroach. Its much harder will produce. She seen the Agro Chemical industry is silently causing our planets buzzing and rustling to go quiet enough. This is the worst mass extinction of anthem planet as ever experienced. Were losing species at a rate that earth has never experienced before. This is worse than the dinosaurs dying off. Not altogether. Dom abused jeopardize driver over 45 today. Can see theres been a huge change in the environment. So, but when you drive 200 kilometers in a car of a single insect hits the windshield. And when you recreate driving to your summer vacation, you have to clean the bugs off the windshield every 2 hours that they put into that doesnt happen anymore was on the sack. But on the drivers experiences were confirmed by a german study in western europe. Since 1990, 75 percent of the invertebrate population has disappeared. And as a result, subsequent food chains are now also under threat. Fish are vanishing from rivers and birds from the skies. Ah, a new class of super powerful and decides that emerged in the 90s is to blame neo nicotine noise. A chemical concentrate placed directly around seeds level to show can cooper revolutionary for farmers because its extremely efficient when you and kills everything just usual. They say they kill pests, right . But none of them says theyll kill every insect thats out there, including your butterflies and b. While the Scientific Community is well aware of the dangers, the neuro toxins are sold to farmers as a miracle Agro Chemical companies and their lobbies have neutralized systems of scientific and democratic control and the name of profit. A few chemists and business men have assumed the right of life and death over all living things with with the food you know, frederick, ive been farming for 19 a year. Was it was on the weve always grown sugar beets on mobile bell. Even my grandfather crew beats here after the 2nd world war dish. Early book this crop has always been important for us. Include our book on to with pesticides is a broad category. So weve got herbicides as kill plant fungicide says kill fungus road. Emphasize those kill rodents. List goes on, but then insecticides kill in check. Thats what theyre supposed to do. Thats what insecticides are made for. Isnt it to kill insect with lead noun. You could to know that c o m is neal nicotine. Oh, its really are a jewel of modern technology. Low theres the black seed lagoon is covered by a shell with v insecticide who just you know, for them to play coat aint bunk with the color specific to wed like to see producer in the blue. So means its from a French Producer on florence would mean German School assessor multi. Id more mm. These colored seeds are now world wide. In the european union, 130 exemptions have been granted to circumvent various bands on neo nick. Its annoyed, like for sugar beets and france. Ah, those those seeds look deny, right . Theyre all colorful and everything, but theyre highly, highly cox. So neo nick, to know eyes are systemic. Once theyre applied, they move up into the plant and 10 k. Every plant part. Mm. So theyre in the leaves, in the stems in the roots and, and in the flowers you pick her up, bronze gold and push check on the plant itself becomes an insecticide. Happen all filament division. I think issue. Absolutely, well wont. Were launceston you are talks and is in the plant itself is washing fruits and vegetables doesnt remove it. So say, alan, tell you the long term effects on humans and in particular on child development, were not studied before their approval. And yet these insecticides are made from a well known neuro toxic agent. The one contained in tobacco tumult savvy. Weve known for years that nicotine is toxic forensic is in the same, you know, for centuries farmers of ground up a tobacco and used it as a natural pesticide, but has never been synthesized as a Chemical Treatment until the 1980s. When the japanese subsidiary of bayer are created a stable form of this nicotine derivative. Thats why its called, neo nixon annoyed me, since i shall happily yeah, Japanese Research and managed to assemble nicotine and a settle. Colleen, like 2 pieces of lego, creating the 1st man he gets annoyed with hulu. This is the 1st time this former bayer employee in japan has spoken to foreign journalists. The chemist invented emitter clow, pred, a neo nicotine oid sold by bare that has been used in japanese rice patties since 1993 saying all of hutcher. I love that go by lisco. It was 100. 00 times more effective than all other insecticides. Oh, okay, so, so, so at 1st we thought wed got our analysis wrong. Okay, so we repeated the test many times, so it was all put another time. Okay. So i show that it always worked even when diluted melissa with a couple put out like everyone was excited, we had never seen such an interesting product that night. I couldnt sleep and told my wife. I finally did it. But as she washed home or debit to die, illegal to reach the devil found needed all special about near nicotine noise level is that you can coat the said with the knowledge and treat them proactively thinking jill lodge to meet lessons. Any pest problem is presented in advance, even if it never arises, they dont want to thought of. Or you dont wish nicholas. Its affected with many types of insight. Oh no sir. Oh, but especially against those that suck the juice from plants. It from this i really are there it is. Get 94. It doesnt long. So one seed every 18 centimeters is really good results. He reads xena gun by good yet. Yeah. Good. He only insects that come close to the actual beat to eat either it or the roots underneath will be affected voice either wanted to us involved. So he went down back once covered with soil field mosquitoes can buzz around with a video to see again. But if theyre not interested in the beats, because theyre saying is all good. Busy good slavic b, b, they love it via kind of vector trenton, every and warmers. Dont want to kill insects. They just want their crops to grow. Well, and thats fair. When does that even feel as lots of insects die . Well, thats an unintended side effect limb effect. Then if perhaps if you knew the good, you know, you know, if i good many a nick to know it always protects the plant. He knew laplant insecticides, they sprayed on the leaves, only work on the surface feed focus and only for a short while i know that most one we are in simon maximum. My ticket i ill go. Its like he must cut off this insecticide is effective for 4 months. So you dont have to spray every time pests appear that he was not there. So i have been is out that it can, its only applied to the root cause i must get up, said yes or no more than it tonight when other insecticides were sprayed and when its only 10 percent reached, the root. Whos us, can i tell you on north north . So its very effective. So i got a contact, not the north, and i hope that will kicked off on his argument a kit. And one of the arguments that a valid one in my opinion had yeah. Is that sprayed insecticides affected not only the fields, but also the farmers feel their employees at a local resident sca. Since you cant always predict the wind accurately let alone control it would by victim or dis valesh mom on the let prevent us, your looking. The dio nicotine i see treatments seemed to address the issue much better on the some of the, as the active ingredients is added to the soil, and absorbed by the plant occur needed on it there. Once the plant, the harvested lot, that sits up lot did i couldnt i dont think reaches the environment through the air fit a hint. Dollar dollar on . No, no, no, no. Yes i could, kate, i or this has completely changed rice cultivation here watching me telephone. I am christina, when i master you no longer see rice, farmer sprang, insecticides hung over, their work has become easier and more efficient in the north, they will not upon and the beginning neo nika to noise appeared to be the ideal insecticide, and soon more chemical compounds such as cloth i and then fire methods am and a set a mid pred were developed and launched by a handful of multinational corporations this products. Oh, after a few years, rolla immediately became a success, ford agriculture industry. At the end of the day, we want farmers to know they can count on. Were doing everything we can to make their crafts flourish, and it starts with seat treatment to b. A. S f. We create chemistry. Really, theres only a small number of players, genta, monsanto. While which merged with bare a b s f to sing kinda meaningless will assume bit of picked up. But at the sofa cruiser pac convenient, that is more liquid, as when he see beth with fair has have so many strategies to shape public opinion. One positioning themselves as genuinely interested the true science, not profit. Were bayer, and we sell those Crop Protection products to farmers all over the world. Not because were evil, but because deep down in our curious scientist minds, we know that plants can get thick just as humans and that we can do something against this. I oh, from japan, neo nick, its annoyed spread to europe in the mid ninetys before reaching north america and the 2 thousands. And then moving on to the rest of the world. I from conventional crop farming to every day products and flee callers, neo nicotine noise. Now make up 30 percent of global insecticide sales with the neo next up market is worth 34000000000. 00. On a global scale, you can find munich, nixon or its a lot across the world used on a variety of fruits of ash pulls everything ah, from racing ah, 2 potatoes. And these are 2 again, corn and soybean mason with huge zeal. They are also used to control parasites and lifestyle and pets, because sometimes in forestry tree trees, it can certain wood eating insect sierra leone that annoyed so now everywhere else, even in places where they have never been used directly to the complete on these on can or jam 8050. 00, or they probably put those formulae body for that 1st the produces claim to these infect decides would only work on insects. In fact, only on passes, but that the heat. But gradually research showed that near naked to noise also effect vertebrates. Him, for example, birds and amphibians such as frogs and toads, lead a couple. The long term effectiveness of new nicotine, noise at very low doses endangers all ecosystems. This japanese lake, where a hearty few c. Clams was once among the countries richest waters per fish. With what profit for you and all else used to be an integral part of culinary culture and the lake shinji regional through so it was grilled over of wood charcoal ruffling marinate at and t, right. A cookie in a broth for it got off her, whichever k mm walk. I thought you other way around. Lakesha g o smell was a big business. Wilcox, it was a time when we filled the boat with just one net buffer. Nothing but smells or the joke, one often a brighter snag. I might not hold on one second with an old solder. Go off saying geography jr, do your hill 9194. The smelter suddenly vanished. What comforted god for vang . Youre not grandmother, disappearance . Completely transformed, lakers about donald call for you this ne 0 became very depressed. Im theme of canary cruelty against that little. Never seen anything like it. For all we simply had no idea what was going around at georgia notting more than endorsed the got the gang. I work on i this got an air to explain miss mystery. The local authorities commissioned a Scientific Study from the university of tokyo 25 years after the smell suddenly disappeared, my sumi yama morrow and her Research Team were finally able to identify the culprit. I see a lot in, in the temperature of the lake water didnt change night in nor was there any change in it. Salinity got but we realized that it happened at the time neo nicotine oids were 1st used to the immune oconnell pretty looked into the emitter glow. Pred was certified for use and rice paddies in november 1992 and began being used from the spring of 1993. I have been law. Thank ever curious and from the moment it was 1st used zoer plankton levels dropped dramatically. Hey mr. Long. These insecticides love water, thats how they get up into the plant parts. They love water, but if you apply them and their water is flowing past the plant, they also get in to that. They love water will attached to it. And so theyre now found in most water bodies. Said it got a new and you put in a new and nicotine. Oh, its our water soluble it so they penetrate aquatic plants and the invertebrates that eat these plans are poisoned to guide us in the u. S. Good historical gl did the ground is contaminated, adults is so the water that goes into that ground gets contaminated vinyati lot. Okay. All at once. The ecosystem changed . I mean, its like its one place on which is only my 1993100 kilograms of emitter, clobbered to animal, suffice to pollute the waterways underneath. Shinji caplet, which an 80 square kilometers is one of japans largest lakes tunic wisdom, like the ecosystem collapsed, and fish that eat Aquatic Insects all but disappeared with an ear is more or new than 15. Okay. Okey doke. Any not the cool de la, my research has shown that neo nicotine noise do not kill the fish directly you can gain, unlike organic phosphate pesticides. It took 5th, a 2nd, a no acres, they kill the invertebrates on which the fish lead. They thought he got some new nicole to neither target the vision or the Collateral Damage with the with they will know me on the, hes you, any he mega adam ah, ah, all around the world, scientific studies are reaching the same conclusion. The new insecticides are causing a drastic decline in bio diversity, even in the most protected areas of the eco death affair. Fox ah disinvite, hobby mouth, high enough gang, we hung lots of traps in this forest fighting jolla. We put them up in early spring before the insects came out of hibernation. Filiette m e g, a face a la die vaughan. Dami collier empty the jars every 3 weeks and it was at wanting. And in these are doors i just, i know funk to see then they go into 100 percent. Alcohol has to be processed and classified later than even bunch better as of yet fed. Hm. Since 2008, these scientists have been comparing the results of their collections year on year and they recorded a 67 percent drop and the number of collected insects in just 10 years. Their work is seen as an International Point of reference in his im unable, as if he lived there. We collect a lot of insects house about 800000 a year to have thick towers in some long skiff here. So, and we have thousands of collection jar stored in too large refrigerated containers also provided the disappearance of natural habitats. And the massive use of neo nicotine noise has depleted insect pos act populations at a rate never before seen. He had talked on that we are not embarrassed if youd told an entomologist 30 years ago what, what at 80 percent of the bio mass of european flying insects would be lost in the next 2 or 3 decades date of laughter to false . I mean, does this has a list of us, theyd like to see it . Whats happening worldwide with biodiversity . Yes. Is that the local populations are dying out 1st. If i lost absolute, if he bio diversity loss is not like snap and a species has gone back on them. That 1st there are fewer and fewer individuals finding it harder and harder to find a meeting partner. And then it only takes one random event to lead to a species near extinction from one area of what study after study. After study after study, i could keep going, im shows that insects are declining their declining in diversity. Theyre declining in abundance, which means theres less of them out there. And when theres less of an amount there, theres less of them to pollinate. Theres less of them to be eaten by birds. Now that old cation for much of wealth didnt walnut a robin, for example, needs to catch 700 insect a day to feed its offspring or find a la combs. And yet about the end of the mortal her laugh. Laugh when the insects are exterminated. If the birds dont have enough to eat all the info found, and so their population decreases to equally peripheral affinity. Charlie the same is true for bats and so on. Dont draw up 200 it. Could you be equity, equity, equity, v oh, ah, insects are dying out 8 times faster than mammals. The 6th, the fastest, and the most extensive mass extinction in the worlds history. Ah, oh, thats exit to me. So if it could pity taxonomy, aims to complete the encyclopedia of life. If any good over dounia, only give a species a name and a suitable description that corresponds to an encyclopedic definition ickes on, on the difference your opportunity. Chanel. Ah ski it is that that what fascinates me are all these different forms that you cant really appreciate with the naked eye on keep up with you for them already. Ah, ah, finance it. Okay, well thats a Little Shield bug coupon bill. It looks like a small white flake, but under the microscope, and it really looks like a stained Glass Church Window houses say. So these are beautiful creatures. I never tire of looking at them. Sought us by dialing edison, mr. Ah, i think for a lot of people in sex or other worldly im but theyre amazing and fascinating. Ah, ah, ah, selmore the deform up sooner. Its a world of fantastic forms to imagine how complicated the genitalia of these creatures are with thorns. Itll spikes you, her spiral organs in all directions. Its insane to us if. Oh, wait for a command to nathan. Every one must think. Whats he on though you are talking about insect penises and seeming to find it . Interesting. So how weird to lacey lacey camida. Ah, in, messina, is the aqua. What uses it . Oh, i like thats the standard question when youre dealing with insects. A lot of other when its about protecting lions, it seems more natural sessana. Nobody asks for what purpose does alliance serve her . Buffy betty . A garden wyndham, kiki i was leading a tour to a Community Garden and a woman asked that question about wild bees. What use are they here . Is it not me . Does i answer to deeper for nothing just like you and hope you salad the shot them you . She was a bit shocked it, but when i said that i also was good for nothing. She calm down, i cant control boost if you know. But why did these creatures have to be useful to us in some way to justify their existence . Youre not because youre here as if we were the Supreme Authority with a right to pass judgment on our other life forms and say, what are you good for . Can yes, no, thats useless without you go this. What right do we have to just wipe everything out on these animals have the right to live just like us. Philosophically for me, that is unacceptable. Must include them. Ah, somewhere down the road, somebody decided that to be a good farmer, youre supposed to farm simpler and bigger. Me prop sizes started to grow. We started to grow what are called mano cultures. And as we went down that road problem started to emerge, right . The me me i look at that, what on earth are they thinking at the desert . Theyve killed it. Theres nothing alive out there. A lot of kill edge water, okra. If we can change the world, survive if we can, then they are in trouble. Im trained as into mm ologist i study in fact for most of my career me and i run Blue Dasher Farm here in eastern south dakota in to help us understand his experimental farm. He takes us to his neighbors field. Ah, so this is conventional agriculture. This is what soil looked like in the us. Nothing, no life they have falls apart. When its dry, this is dust, right. And the only way that you can grow ah crops in it is with chemotherapy. Ah fertilizers ur. Besides insecticides, really gone . Passenger shields. Think more Industrial Systems see and more pests represent its inevitable honey model. Any time you have a crop across a large acreage, thats all. Busy thus same, you have an insect that shows up, and its got an incredible ready made nursery for all its young. That expands over hundreds or thousands of acres. Its much easier for an insect chew or a disease to spread itself. When all there are what it loves to eat with, weve created the system, the perfect for past. I mean, we plant a single species for millions of acres and as we go through and we eliminate all of the life except for our one cropped species, then we have to replace everything that life used to do. All of those functions, fertility, pest management, you know, competition from weeds of disease management, and we have to replace it with a jug because were so smart art way. Weve got this whole nature thing figured out. We can package it up, but we could salad ah, it would be that you will think well on the farmer was gradually taught to use certain substances at certain times of the year. All that be argued weight use it, that its become a habit to say when you not be doing this is what were fighting against. This is what were trying to produce are, lets see what weve got in here. Its kind of a cold morning, but well see what kind of life we can find out here. Ah, ah. Oh the neither the warm red there. I had the beauty. Well, you know that soccer. You. Ah, there you are. These are really important. Why are they so important . Look at what theyre doing in that verbal right there. See how fuzzy it is and bubbly. Mo soil is actually insect poop, in fact. So we need to get insects in here. Ah, that is what soil used to smell like when i was a boy and this is like clay, its dead. There is no life. You see the difference, how many, how much complexity there is of this soil. Who would have thought soil would be so interesting. I never would have guessed. Get back down in there guy. You go back to work. Ah. Ah, scott black leads the largest insect protection in geo in north america. Ah oh and here we go, mumbled me, here we go. I fell in love with insects because i had a little natural area close to my house. Id catch fire flies by night. Id catch butterflies by day, and they just captured my imagination. What. What are these animals doing . Why are they here . And thats what really drove me to becoming an ecologist. Difficult policy. Good. We must understand that life on earth is embodied primarily by insect. See, they determine this life and he showed up and it will hurt her. I know thats a rush should be a wake up call for people because these little animals are doing an Incredible Service for us. Day and day out with is going to go right after lunch plus shampoo to 20, but we think we should wipe out these little insects. But that is wrong. Most soil dwelling and pollinating invertebrates provide a free service. Weve profited from for millions of years at the if you keep on the me the needle, danny. Ah, saying i do not do it even without pollinators. We wouldnt have most of the food that we eat. Get my job with left on buddies. At least all the pollinators are important for like the butterflies bumblebees hover flies wasps get a so no lot more flu. He did they, there different characteristics mean that they have certain pollination techniques good for you and prefer this or that type of flower and keep the flu. Somebody from tab in the ladder, but theyre responsible for the reproduction of 84 percent of all cultivation cropped varieties, rather level. Youre only going to meet the Global Economic value and pollination is huge. Of 577000000000 euros. According to the i, p b, e s. O bloom, mikaela. Ah, if you like, clean streams, invertebrates actually, many of them are filter feeders that are cleaning the water. When you go dead decomposes insects are fundamental in the decomposition of plants and animals for the motel. I like to say that plants and insects are the fabric of the planet. The dumb beetle is particularly underrated. It takes care of animal excrement. It forms large balls from it, which it eats or uses to build its nest. Ah, it is. I think it will be out in australia when they inputted european livestock cows and sheep, or called the local dung beetle, was accustomed to the local animals, douglas and fuel hunters. Koala dung, kangaroo dung. De marsupial dung. Not to cow or sheep dung. As soon as i said the look, the next came all it is only empty. At some point, if the soil was completely covered and excrement his until, and they had to import beetles from north africa and Southern Europe of to manager to shave all the be taking. You know, it says to as you harbor the harlem, he just act as he falls. If insects die out in the house of cards will collapse, is people the way humans are at the tom film because we are super predators out of the somebody. She belted eta. I think were really headed to catastrophe. And it really many of us in this field believe that we need to think about agriculture differently almost 40 years ago in the poll valley, one of the worlds most productive agricultural regions, a daring agronomist, posed a radically simple solution. Great thought a thrown up if the music lines have been monitored since 1984, if im tucked and since 1986, i know its a been free of insecticides, nutritional threats. I mean, think ownership did. She did not have been to laney theater. More adventures started a long time ago in the early eightys over at bmo keystone. To put that a bundled banner, we went to farmers to evaluate the usefulness in the treatment is that can they time were being used as if they were magnificent inventions of ya. Mcqueen, distributor, we divided the field into strip soon after one as an untreated control. Any funky toys for me, and one that got standard Chemical Treatment goal kimiko found that in fact im old. That is the shot that we alternated. The treated and untreated strips on a large scale it boy and your mother. Then we check for plant damage on the left and whether the untreated plants yielded less than the treated ones. So that the video danish back talk, we let the thought and test after test and showed that more cops grew on the untreated strips yon, than on the treated one. So despite the ultimate battle for what i like is feeling well, maybe the in my little are uniform, the corners account full of the cop is over. These are beautiful. Com afternoon. I want to speak you see me, can i thought moved non pelletize seeds dr. Morrison, theyre naked and can grow freely and unhindered. Vomit lu. Meanwhile, lorenzo fallen has developed a system of traps that are buried in the earth before sewing to assess past risk. Ah, or did the ammo let drop . Will it but lot of it. We sent a traps to capture the lar, made out this route, and every, you know, after 10 days we removed the traps and examined the soil operating the la. My said that my savage dial it, she portion of fight drove on. We can see be the larva, lot of a deal at that. If you, christie shall know, cleans are from agree or to us. So d dog the all to sure to be do so depending on their number one i didnt, we can see if the risk threshold has been exceeded 40 are more studied, it cbs will put up and we noticed already done ah, in the month and i put samples on 99 percent. The plot weve monitored and cultivated for decades achieve yet no neo nicotine noise and nor any other insecticide was needed in monet im is rashadi did is we have never needed insecticides. And here it is, obviously that uniform dog mentality of it. I did facebook at the same work was done in canada, and so i with the same results of the 195 percent of cases dont. Thats always products for were completely useless. Simple. You, since none of the pests i control i, were on the treated plots associated with these jolly bus and pretty were looking on amy similar f, penalties, skilled learning, susceptible for one per cent risk to treat whole fields along with a high of our mental impact or high cost 11 with no good to the farmer, but a future me let alone for the Community Care for liquidity better is i think the issue with pesticides is theyve just allowed us to be thoughtless. Theyve allowed us to not think about what paths might be out there. Weve got these chemicals. Well just kill them. Well say to noon, you continue either nicotine lead to more like an insurance policy through pest control products or new day composites are part of me. They will, they thought until it though, and its a pardon me, alisha farmers see it as a form of ensuring that she could have thrown it. Kate, my horn will be look real because the new eyes will grow. Okay, sure. Ill guarantee. Dont kill it down there. But i know 40, so in farming, we talk about prophylactic use, just using it before you have a problem to solve the problem that might be out there. Exactly. Wilkinson resent, mentioned youre going to have the paper from the doctor says human, we know as soon as the child is born to met, well give it prophylactic antibiotics, the mentor, make sure it doesnt get infected unit by not fixing. It was any new and well do that for the rest of its life. So the child is protected and doesnt get a bacteria infection up. What is you know, i would say like day to doctors not only somebody. So the virginia tumal secret results event i by articles comp are used indiscriminately, is all the bacteria become resistant . Well get back to a political fair. Thats whats done and farming cisco felony could you . Mm. Yeah. Laura laura now quit was quite spontaneous. Eda, okay, i thought you born last you want insurance. They are the ill give it to you since on condition that you dont use it all has to decide on a plan. Thats how i started betting you collect fiona. Equal winter. I dont want to scold me shit before they so evil shoot out. I would place 300 or 400000 italian lira on the table for me to lead a corporate drink or me the leader karen, or if you have any losses. So you keep the money, bring me to if you dont actually will give it back and invite me to dinner via china elf. I made these bets on many farms and one them all. Jo institute the but cannot because im so glad to see about that because the risk is so low green the li i deny that even 9. 00 to 10. 00 should be achieved. So no, no, i then tried to turn this personal challenge into a solution. All farmers, i dont even thought it would, i should fill it up report it would be difficult, doughty, but this agronomist and his investors created a mutual fund in 2014, with almost 50000 hectors of agricultural land. This conventional farm was one of the 1st to come on board for 35 years. No insecticides have been used on these 60 hectors of corn. A significant savings for this farmer, since chemically treating crops costs close to 40. 00 euros per hector and the po valley gas if you prefer to be there, i figured out if that is true as a few programming or yes, oh, okay, and lastly, with plant that for 40 times 16 inches on the 3rd one and the 2400 just for the coin, which is over 100 about his mice. Think that children 35 years at 2400. How much would that be . Came to riverside with or thought of 87500. 00 euros from all. Those other said to me that you could change that. They replaced insecticides with good management. They replaced insecticides with a life on their farms. And when they did that, they found they didnt need insecticides anymore. It wasnt an illogical decision for these men and women. It was a Good Business this a fair couldnt cause to june keybo me. Youve got to write for me of about 3 zeros per hector controlled, 23. 00 euros compared to 35 year old or 40 years for an insecticide treatment. Ah, you are covered for any damage that may occur between sewing your corn. She su donald and the 1st 8 leaves appearing bossa, benita, sort of your contract to see me and then my funeral out for you to took a look at block of anything that might require receding or reduce yield. I was covered by our fund. Tony been this the main to the company side of the phone . Dont want to speak with me. The fund has never lost money and this farm has been growing sugar beets for 20 years. Without neo nick, its annoyed there. Why are these chemicals free to sell . Why are farmers using them because of relationships of Chemical Industry, but in every agricultural community, a representative a salesman that like at least part of the vast majority of technical consult millis, who visit farms are there to sell something being done. And these guys are at the co ops or the, or their, their, their crop consultants. And this is somebody that has these people of a Farming Community grew up with and they trust to made on farmers have been forced fed. The idea that farming without synthetic chemical compounds is utopia. If youre new to the more you use it, the more you need who wins in an addiction scenario . It isnt the addict. Right now farmers are addicted. The guys who are pushing the drugs with the, with the powerful manufacturers, like buyer i said gentle b. S f, have the power to sell their products quite a while you want to for the one port because the product is needed or useful. But just because they want to solicit one is to say a witty disability with all these companies that produce new annex. They have a higher obligation to their shareholders to maximize profits. Thats of Family Foundations was Pension Funds because of that investor pressure that a fiduciary duty to serve the investor. The companies have of felt an obligation to keep products like neo next on the market. Did the Agro Industrial system is a legacy of the 2nd world war. The factories and substances used for weapons production were gradually retooled for the production of fertilizers and pesticides. Back down to me, if some count the war ended in 1945 and there were huge phosphate and nitrate stocks. He did, he thought they started to use it all for lack of anything else to do with it or to thought on savvy. Pick one fat ah, a pico me for new people, needed food and fast as you and your job seemed so it developed into the new foundation of modern agriculture. Do luckily, could you, if you can get us can come oscar early, she missed chemists had developed his nerve damage, and this mark that ident modified to fight bets that his insects who retake on political toyota shockley. I ah, it begins with the war on development of the dp. It came from laboratories where top scientists from famous universities and from industrial and government organizations collaborated to develop something new when different, basically been, they perfected a didnt d, c, d o d for d d t is a miracle insecticide. The evil, the streams are this. In fact, the tons of ddt are used in this fight against the Dread Disease whose principal target is the young. Again, war has contributed one of its discoveries to save life. They would spray ddt on fields of almost any kind of crop them in measurable ddt, the spray or home for cockroaches. It was not used in any kind of precision away. It was used everywhere. So easy to apply because of a new, efficient dispenser back in. All people have to do with the rest of the stuff like this. Its a handful of concentrated widespread d. D t use wiped out malaria, carrying mosquitoes in europe and the u. S. Was some the advocates even aided to show that it was harmless and to convince developing countries to use it. But scientists quickly discovered unexpected side effects. And shes disappeared completely broke. So i created a paragraph which was native in the east coast to no, you said could no one believed that permanent exposure could be problematic. Blip was a public back in the seventys, ddt was finally declared carcinogenic and harmful to reproduction and subsequently band and many countries. But the hunt was on for new come hounds, history repeated itself over time, people started to think, oh, can we have better pesticides . And in their search for that, ah, ah, Pesticide Companies came up with in check the sites that are called neal nicotine noise lawyer course got that that a low temperature the ship was today. No human dies from insecticide spraying georgia say sucking rejects. I prefer to think 1st about humans and then about inside of illustrating and when i got it. Alicia, nico idea ties, these substances are very effective against insects. Can tell you why with their toxicity and mammals is low as auto center, fatal. You must not all those other one you it oversaw. Gotcha. It has so they have a very targeted effect. And the figure title is no loss. And im, its me, its, this products seem like a, a miracle compound are not too tough not to week. Kind of just the perfect balance for pesticides that would kill off insects in an efficient manner, but not harm mammals are of humans. C, a, pleaded elisha, it was the pinnacle of insecticide research. Said to me reducing, its could synthesize extremely toxic molecules by jump. Good 47 bees, near naked to noise are 7 to 8000 times more toxic than ddt, which band in the seventys. So, so happily the Japanese Researcher was recognized for this completely new, very efficient invention with a sun life. He just called her elbow when i went on with them all to, with all my work being honored is like winning olympic gold, chemical moral, not allow you to sell me. I can at 1st the neo nick gets annoyed, passed regulatory tests, which were not made to detect chronic toxicity. At low doses. They were mainly performed on rats, which did not respond to the new insecticides. Ah, they arrived in europe in the mid nineties and were 1st used on sunflowers. A favorite of bees. Mm. Ah. Oh feature sri ne families ebay. I was born among bees who left because both my parents are a purist as we are my grandparents and great grandparents to says in your granite, all these are pew pe ready to hand should you could be or kept brooding. Well, which means that soon we will have no b i. So were in these need 21 days to had you and live 4 to 6 weeks men maximum or they only collect pollen at the end of their lives. They see dollar down, they spend the rest of their time in the hive who le, regarding its entrance to the eyes. This at least as best i learnt any on lavish wont on god when i dont allow them after these any get calls from 1995 on which is almost all a purists in france is large farming areas saw dead bees at hive entrances and depopulation of pollinators when the sunflowers were in bloom, sodium mushrooms, she view mush walked across the carpets of dead bees and our ab aries concocted crackled under foot. Singles, i bank with these weight 400 kilos, like a cow, we might have been taken seriously sooner. Yeah, youre, youre happy. Ah, was it your v t . We were the victims means, but we had to prove it to do that. So we had to turn to scientific expertise or black on be dos, shantee thick. So for those to have to see how the b u. B. But all the hunger now i put just the smallest quantity, just a pin, head of neo nicotine i qualify. And then in this case, and then i embedded it in this little small dot of homie, one part per 1000000000, is that amount that i just put in like a swimming pool, kind of show. Thats the kind of volumes that were talking about here. Ah, so generally with neo nick, it annoyed poisoning what happens is the insect starts twitching violently, their tongues reverted sooner or later for be so all the muscles are a body or be so tight. She can move. All of the nerves in their body ends up firing simultaneously. And so really what they die of is exhaustion. I said kill huge and super be got a little of the toys into and is no getting you. Hes always wings a point, right . Up sick. You know, indicating tetanus of the flight muscle to me this looks like generalized cramping id after the b keepers. Complaints companies changed seed pelting to limit the spread of neo nick. Its annoyed. But scientists continued to find high death rates. Lengthiest thing about neil nick and annoyances of the they might not kill them at all, you know, but what happens is that they end up having learning disabilities. This is a fake collegial the scientists found out that these substances called lydia suddenly from the family mid. Yet the bees die slowly mate in mock dont they cant find their way home again. They cant regulate their temperature of the hive anymore. They forget how to be bes salads email with these. I bet its like they have alzheimers and wont buy, for example, they try to collect nectar from a withered sunflower beginning they film keystone, finding a pre, and they rub their antenna, what their absence. So what theyll do then convulse and twitch, gum dick only show, please do tomblin. You can watch them collecting pollen can do brittany involving suddenly onto a li from the aicpa example sheila and then on to the ground to on a show where they slowly die. If you dont base you go. So yeah, good easy in the late ninetys the be became the center of a scientific battle between the Agro Chemical industry and independent researchers and france. Jam, mach belmont on conducted the 1st studies demonstrating the toxicity of near nicotine noise on pollinators. For the actual, the company uses the Pesticide Companies. First reaction was, thats impossible. Youve made a mistake, but what they asked to come and see the results and my laboratory secrecy put them marks. I gladly accepted me the vessel shook, but surprisingly they hadnt come for the detailed results. The shock, but to find any mistakes we might have made her voice. Obviously less that did you, did you say their strategy was called multi factory ality . Dixie did over that means finding numerous, alibis, so as to claim the no pesticides were not the cause leap or been were various factors affect her dont get the us eggs ive seen within sector so a lot is blamed on climate change. Zation habitat last night lately before licks are knocked young. Some papers would say absolutely. Val pesticides. This is the smoking gun, others would say, well, no, you know, i mean, it could have been all of these other things and maybe it was the verola might, you know, the verola might get a lot of different wasa did. The renewal may is relatively new parents and it started to invade the hives of the western hunting beat in the middle of the last century. Rely washington formula, you know, fatigue river rowen light is a distraction. You chose laval. Why is that the borrower is a natural parasite hook in that there is a species called the borrower destructor. From asia in that has invaded european hives olympian, but it is a paris side of the domestic b touristy. Dont. So even if we can attribute some blame to the verola, certainly not responsible for the decline in insects in general, mod pollinators. In particular, they put over wild bees in which the borrower is not a parasite or classified. And so if a corporation or, or, or somebody with an agenda doesnt, wants to support you, science to support that agenda. All they have to do is find the science that says Something Else is killing the bees. Bare syngenta are such large multi nationals with tens of billions of dollars in revenue. These grant to scientists or nothing. There are rounding error on a quarterly statement. But for a scientist its a lot of money. What happens is that the whole, the scientific literature starts to shift in and then you see this growing swelling body of literature that says, well, the girl might kill to be like this. And, and a lack of flowers in the environment, kill, and theres a new disease. It kills to be like this. And suddenly it start looking. Man, theres just a little bit of information over here, but theres a lot of information over here. Must be this stuff to a pool from there wont be this about d motivating the public, the Decision Makers in the 2nd work. If you listen to the possible reason for insect mortality, no one knows where to start job with predict the most can cause way. Football, he a resume, nice technician fatalism and an actual federal home. Ah, but occasionally you still get the scientists that are noisy and they dont shut up when theyre supposed to and they continue to work down this road. Well, in that case you, you destroy that scientists publicly are in, you know, it all started. Id say, when we found the neo nicotine noise werent helping. So being producers, but they were killing predators, and they werent killing the soybean. Nathan, i got a job pretty well right out of graduate school at the u. S. D, a Agricultural Research service. And i spent about 11 years there. Me everything was going right. And i received an award in the white house for main name, one of the top young scientists in the country. President obama presented that to me. I and then we started asking the wrong questions. I you know, the harassment started in small ways, maybe getting some additional edits on presentations or on papers that never really happened before. I got more aggressive and they started to suspend me for routine or small violations. Maybe the paperwork was done on time or Something Like this. And then they started the hall in my staff and say anything johns done on a line lately, wed like to, you know . And so they started to interrogate people. Ah, while reporting the story, i talked to dozens of scientists, many of them were fearful of speaking out. And many of them said that they would not speak out publicly on the record for my story because they were afraid they would be pushed out of their position. Just as jonathan lumbering was push out of his position at the usa, the anxiety and the pressure was enormous. And so i really had to ask the question, what the hell am i doing here . And so i equip, ah, others and awareness that if you criticize big business, you are not going to receive funding for your research. If you criticize private corporations, your entire university could lose out on money. I mean, the people in my command chain of command, they werent trained or heard me. They were trying to preserve the u. S. Da. And all the people that i was working with. Ha, ha ha, theyre going to be coming up right along here. So here we go. Oh no. Jonathan lumberton now runs a farm and puts his experience as a scientist into environmentally friendly agriculture. He focuses on large scale agriculture that can produce while regenerating the soil. Ah, science is pressured to slow studies on the effects of biodiversity. Me feel my voice unique, suffolk, my Agro ChemicalCompanies Know very well that an end for past decides is in sight a could develop, but they want to gain a little time to see because that still means a lot of money even yet, because again, young caldebook without it, we have this really rapid approach to approving pesticides and then they take glacial approach to getting pesticides polled once theyre approved. Well, the best barometer of whether the Chemical Industry ah, strategies are working is regulation. Do what im going to kill to new girl. That is really the heart. Ah gotcha. So were good if you research what regulatory testing he had, ive been conducted to assess who he that example he a side effect of a product of bees. Yes. All gone. Could you find a death that these tests were designed by the industry itself . All bodies on his theater, men who doesnt exist with that, theyre still in a 24 hour test. Her b mortality is low, but up to 3 days it increases significantly more so on. So you stop the test up to 24 hours with hardly any dead basie who fed. So the authority say ok, lets allow the product. So most of off on, on the rug of the by you cannot be judge and plaintiff. Its a conflict of interest. Hell see nothing more than noon. You dont put the fox in charge of the hen house after its eat on behalf the hands a quickie that more. He levin what she didnt do. I can tell you, ive been studying pesticide regulations and, and, and Risk Assessments for 20 plus years. Nobodys watching. Nobodys watching. How could they, ah levy. These are articles and tasks at the pages upon pages by to basis articles on changes that think of the bud gothic removal, a single truth, thousands of pages. The monster snub busted to stella. We have to work through all this to submit changes among death sentences like this product will only be approved at the weight per area. Ratio is changed to a believe the appointment desk valve at nissan said the mournful quadrille often ask why regulators for lets problematic products pass problem etc. Quest you full sized or gone through them and they corrupt site. Come were you lose the files . The examiner, thousands of pages long, near the bash for gasoline, you meant christiane, for it take up my time to judge such a pile of documents in telling mass look youre there. Youre using this chemical for that past this other chemical for this past than years treating for fungicides. Then youre treating for some disease and were basically creating these chemical cocktails in the environment when you started measuring the formulations of these 200 compounds. And each of those requires it. So on Risk Assessment, thats 20000. 00 Risk Assessment. Who the hell is going to pay for that . Whos gonna do that . Nobody still in that. We have no idea what these chemistrys are doing in the environment. Shawna multiple part of us even l. M. Game for shawnee spread in the environment persistently and systematically and control. I believe they become an uncontrollable and invade and everywhere element that including little chain me and my hair. But i knew the my knowledge of your father, author and the last analysis found the 3 different neo nicotine noise that i probably ingested through food. Kelly company. One of mill defeat fell us a lot by godaddy. I am convinced that you cannot have a meal without any nicotine noise. They are everywhere. Infer that vegetables and grains tea, coffee and juice didnt equals to do to cook for more than a decade. We have suspected that near nicotine oids act as endocrine disrupting, li, causing liver, thyroid, testicular, and Ovarian Cancer wallets. You will need this. He can legally meet the keith about the vessel, but even worse, other effects on the development of our nervous system or digital and the brains of fetuses and Young Children develop the was that fitted free shoe film with hub . Would you prefer apple to, with a book to with him a new enough. The most striking research from to ponchos ng new nick to noise in the 1st urine of most newborns who disha the new and you couldnt hear me. I got out of this, you know, another than oh, i am researching the impact of pesticides and herbicides on water and the environment. And so they, especially because of their harmful effects on humans in behavioral disorders in children caused by Mental Illness and have increased in japan since 1993. There we go to dinner. Thank you. Have a curious anika got the hit as soon as she velaz youngs. If we had followed the science, i dont think these products would have been bounced anymore. Tell me. The Agro Chemical lobbies refuse to even try a pesticide ban influence. The Agro Chemical lobbys influence in much the same way is all polluting industries, camino low system, although the ticket on the be in the motor was developed by the Tobacco Industry with a look at that for me. So i thought that in the back, you know, going back into the 195900 sixtys, the Tobacco Companies knew that their product was addictive, and deadly. And to counter any potential for regulation or removal or liability of their products. They created an infrastructure of think tanks of public relations, experts of other groups that would counter any of the science showing the deadly effects of smoking. For years. They said, cigarettes dont cause cancer. They trotted out all sorts of experts, had said, cigarettes dont cause cancer. They delayed any thought on that by at least 2 decades speak by trotting out expert saying we dont have the data and we see the same thing with the pesticide industry. The ah ah ah, ah, okay. I think were say theres a general message out there that organic foods are any healthier or healthier for you and better for you than whatever you get in the supermarket next door. And thats nonsense. But if you, if you go shopping in a whole foods, youll see kind of why a c s h was fun. Was founded. Macias ash. Yes. Hey sheila, its financed by agra chemistry hippa and promoted things like pesticides, biotechnology, etc. Morgan just realised agriculture. You the beauty energy, digital, elegant gianni, javier latino. It was formed in 1978 by a group of fairly high powered sciences scientists. And they were unhappy the way that science and chemistry and medicine were being portrayed in the media. Well, we debunk chunk, thats our model. Oh, the pay, they all paid 2. 00 for a carriage. This because like 0. 04, we see these organizations funded by industry helping shape public opinion, helping shape the discourse around these controversial issues. The American Council on science and health is certainly one of them. This is just a fascinating email from monsanto shows a month santo executive, making the case that monsanto should donate to a c f age. Because in bold type, you will not get a better value for your dollar than a c h and they lay out all of these different pieces of content from a c s h, including their articles on the unix. Once in a while, throughout the years we would get maybe a small gift from a company here or there. But that didnt stop me from going after them. If i, if i felt like they were doing something wrong, if you just say the word chemical, it scares people. These chemicals are in the water and were going to grow an arm out of our back, the scares you hear about different chemicals and drugs. Most of the time would be false, but it makes great headlines. In forces. Its a silent power that we cant see yet, but that has a dangerous influence on contemporary democracy. Good will classlent on point. Ah, if you try and form without any pesticides is going to be difficult. Everything gets eaten up by bugs. Some of the, um the insecticides which are yours. I wouldnt want to spray it in my face. Okay, so thats for isnt us. But most people dont walk around spraying neuro toxins in their face. Its a very few of us to that. Go around all day. So she could buy he a scientist, he paid by, by a monsanto, or be a said long whomever, claiming that they know our products dont please us a law. Well, they should be held responsible. They lie exposed and made criminally liable. Theyll deal it. No, no, if i hear no, it doesnt pollute the soil. Same thing. You lied. I said its the principle of criminal liability, the one quarter if there were criminal penalty. I think it would solve a lot. I have a book which compared to the 1000000000 spent by companies in g o, have absurdly few resources. As does the association with which may i please hold hold marquis hopes to alert french and european politicians. But then shouldnt we include a link again on the course . Yeah. You do. What should we write her schooling here . It yeah, kenny, what about . Its the only way to save the b was if i were an uninformed minister sheep, i would know what to believe. Is it buffet at 50 . In the early 20 tens, after a 15 year struggle, her n g o thought they had 13 of the main neo nicotine oids were to be banned and the e u was planning a new Risk Assessment system. Well the me says in 2013, the if a say had with the European Regulatory Authority that independent experts working on approvals for enough, they needed a 250 page report to say these tests are obsolete other, we have to start again with us on do me get dolls, news eval in 2014. Isnt that the f as a presented new standards for assessing the risk of pesticides to bees. Divide us young, your ac could be shown as i b. Thats a huge victory, moth dwell in both via the industry criticized the standards which would have risked the marketability of many of their pesticides t. This is sima. The Agro Chemicals association complained to the European Commission that 65 of their 67 main products would not pass these new tests. At iq, andrea m e p and former chair of the pesticides committee, landed himself on a monsanto watch list. He is sure the lobby was exerting pressure and suspect them of hacking his e mail or sale on new gold. Was it the tunic . Well, e mails to me with the word cancer went straight to the trash. He did divvy more for 5 months. I worked with professors researchers and scientists on the core of the problem truly the impact of pesticides on human health and possible cancer risk when it was still going up live. I think it goes it, it was in and their e mails didnt reach me in the method but avenue oh, in the end the reform was gutted. Strict toxicity tests were caught and much higher. B mortality rates are now tolerated. Long until her about a month at honeymoon, a german m e p as a company like buyer in his constituency. Among yellow, global pesticide producer, you will see the generating local economic activity, and charles got it getting coin youngin with angela. So i can follow though not understand on that this emmy p with no greater view of the problem says, you know, i played a viewing had stopped selling these pesticides up, but she thousands of jobs are riding on it. If im, if im believe this and then about the medium pro and when you know young caught out its out. So were still using a completely obsolete Risk Assessment framework layer. Even france, which supported the reform, backtracked, and issued exemptions for new nick. Its annoyed in 2020 oh la hotel, hes su. The reauthorization of neo nicotine noise in france was devastating for apple culture and quinn. Msu. Moscow fit the little man that i see what im entailed on. If its a real defeat for the environment of a bank account, its a great legal, scientific, and democratic step backwards for europe. Oh, without a reformed Risk Assessment, europe is powerless against new compounds. A new generation of neo nicotine noise like sol, fox, the floor and flu pirate of her own are already replacing the old generation of munich, its noise. Oh, those Chemical Companies right now, know that these chemicals have a certain shelf life. So theyre developing new ones. Were fighting to pull off these old ones and know yet moist. Weve seen so much over the years you put a go to products that we were so hard to get out the door. I do so often climb back in through the window path on the left. It was a small shuttle yet. So not that i said, i invented another insecticide key to me through pyromania such as such as i got a near nick to night. Thats not so bad for bees soon. Which annoys on it to sort out me, sebastian gonzales. Its been on the market since last year with us. Could they . Oh, i suppose i mr. You to me this one is i think the, the use of insecticides and pesticides in is the never ending. Grace. Aha, we use more insecticides now than we ever had in human history. We have to, as humans take action because its a crime against our children to crime against our grandchildren. Oh, in japan and the United States near nicotine noise have never been ban. Oh, in developing countries use of these chemicals, allows intensive monoculture, farming to expand, which in turn contributes to continue deforestation and the extinction of millions of invertebrates species. Oh mm. Ah, [000 00 00;00] oh oh oh oh oh oh. Oh, i a bicycle and one. Today i want to find out why the mozilla is one of the most beautiful river states in germany. So im off for right along a part of the vill psychopaths. The beautiful landscape is certainly confirmed here. Ah, this bike tour is for comic tooth in 30 minutes.
