If you do the same by the way of this on irrigated water, you see a really astonishing worrying situation for food security because you see that the average irrigated hectare in South Asia may today need to feed 28 people. It will need to feed 42 people at a time when water risk and water scarcity will increase very substantially.
So it's-- at its widest point-- about 87 meters across. It's on about 1/2 a hectare of land. So it's an enormous thing.
So what our task has been with that of the Ministry of Environment and Tourism and the UNDP-- the United Nations Development Program-- We get about 10 tons per hectare harvest that we could go into biomass electricity.
We might should understand them. So they produced double amount by hectare , the valley.
retain more water so 1% increase in organic matter relates to an extra 150 tons of of water storage per hectare now for a nation in the grip of drought that's a big deal and when the rains come well they don't run off the top of that dry compact surface causing those devastating floods but instead the water
doing frame-by-frame analysis, but in the end, you're just trying to work backward and figure out what an artist decided to draw. You can put in feet and hectares and liters and the furlongs like all together into an equation and then get the answer out

to stop now--and that is to say--ask yourself how much land you need to feed a person on the planet. If we were hunter gatherers we would need a thousand hectares per head. Early farmers used only about 10 hectares to feed one person. That's how the density of human people human population increased so dramatically when farming was invented. By the 1950s we were feeding people off of about 4000 m². And today with the average cereal yield you can produce enough calories on about 1200 m² to feed a person. So here's the global
A scenery covered in vineyards, it still exists I'd like everyone to keep in mind that many grapes and wine are still locally produced Our main work happens in the 2.5 hectare vineyard in Kajiwara city inside the Nakakawachi region of Osaka What we are known to be unique for is
And a few decades ago land assignments, tax breaks, agricultural incentives, and paved roads rapidly pushed back the forest frontier. Small communities followed suit carving out patches of forest a few hectares at a time.

Now some estimates place it at 2.5, but the Center for Agricultural Strategy, which is a respectable organization, says 1.83. Now 1.83 million tons of soy is equivalent to about 900,000 hectares of rainforest. And, in fact, to put that into perspective, the entire landmass of the UK is about 24 million, 900,000 hectares just to produce soy for the animals in the UK
I mean it currently isn't, isn't it? Also, remember that 900,000 hectares in the Amazon is also dedicated, and so globally speaking, the amount of land being dedicated is just creeping up all the time.
The apartheid regime tore people apart. And he went back to the Pantanal and he put about 50,000 hectares aside as a jaguar sanctuary.

In 1983, he discovered the use of micro-irrigation systems. He ensured that the farmers that acquainted with that, especially at a time where 140 million hectares in India are still dependent on rains. Which is 55% of Indian agriculture is still dependent on the benevolence of the rain gods.
And it's really shocking. So to put it into numbers, 13.7 million hectares a year are cut down. So I don't know if you are interested in football, but probably you have some impression of how big a football pitch is.

And, in fact, to put that into perspective, the entire landmass of the UK is about 24 million, 900,000 hectares just to produce soy for the animals in the UK alone. Now when we talk about CO2 emissions and CO2 equivalents, one hectare of deforested rainforest is equal to about 3.67 tons of CO2 equivalent going into our atmosphere.
And there are countries, like Australia and Canada, which grow pulses only for India to consume because they don't have any of the pulses they grow. And the whole problem with India is though acreage is very high, the kind of crop per acreage is low, 750 kilograms per hectare . China has twice that.
Now 1.83 million tons of soy is equivalent to about 900,000 hectares of rainforest. And, in fact, to put that into perspective, the entire landmass of the UK is about 24 million, 900,000 hectares just to produce soy for the animals in the UK alone. Now when we talk about CO2 emissions and CO2 equivalents, one hectare of deforested rainforest is equal to about 3.67 tons of CO2 equivalent
Just to give you one example of how ambitious I think we should be about what to do in this century to improve human lifestyles. If we believe in progress, if we don't say we need to stop now--and that is to say--ask yourself how much land you need to feed a person on the planet. If we were hunter gatherers we would need a thousand hectares per head. Early farmers used only about 10 hectares to feed one person. That's how the density of human people human population increased so dramatically when farming was invented. By the 1950s we
