The Moon and Us (5/5)

Climate change is making the weather increasingly unpredictable and volatile. Extreme weather events are on the increase: In a matter of minutes, hailstorms can destroy an entire year's harvests and flash floods can take lives and destroy homes. What are the causes of these extreme phenomena? And how bad could they become in future?

The photographer Jim Rakete is given carte blanche. He has chosen to focus on the Californian artist Joe Ramirez-Dalton. For decades, he restored frescoes in churches, in Italy. Now he is dedicated to his magnum opus: "Somnium (the dream)", a project inspired by a 1620 text by Johannes Kepler on lunar astronomy.

Making chocolate for one euro, eco-friendly jeans at rock-bottom prices, fair-trade, organic, and cheap coffee - discounters and fashion chains are suddenly offering customers the opportunity to save the world. Is it all just greenwashing and deception?

A quarter of all greenhouse gas emissions come from agriculture. Factory farming and extreme use of fertilizers and pesticides pollute our air, pollute our water and destroy our soil. Every year, 24 billion tons of fertile soil are lost worldwide. In Spain, two-thirds of the country is affected by desertification. But there are also soils further north that are similarly desolate. In this episode of Roots, science journalist Pierre Girard meets Remedios Arres in Andalusia and Johanna Häger in Brandenburg, the sandbox of Europe.

Fighting Desertification

What should Europe do about its damaged and depleted soil?

Roots

In this episode, we discover with the journalist Pierre Girard how cows can make the activity of a farm more respectful of nature and how sheep can improve cereal harvests. These unusual methods could offer a solution to agriculture's carbon emissions problem.

Biodiversity is good for the environment but also for our taste buds. In Alsace, a winegrower practices "complantation", the mixing of several grape varieties on the same plot to avoid pesticides. In southern Italy, Mario relies on the coexistence of plants and livestock to enrich the biodiversity of his fields and produce a mozzarella with a unique taste.

The largest store of carbon besides the oceans is the soil. If only 0.4 percent more carbon could be put into the earth every year, the increase in greenhouse gas emissions would stop immediately. This is called carbon farming. But whether carbon goes into the soil or not is decided by agriculture. In this episode of Roots, science journalist Pierre Girard meets Félix Noblia in the Basque Country and Fabrice Desjours in Burgundy.Félix uses a special grazing system that actively stores carbon in the soil. Fabrice Desjours from Burgundy combines forgotten herbs, trees and plants to transform meadows into forest gardens where everything is edible.

In France, in the Massif Central, Sarah Singla practices conservation agriculture based on three principles: minimal soil disturbance, permanent land cover and crop rotation. In Périgord, Benoît Le Baube also protects his fields by no longer plowing them. He also uses organic waste to fertilize the soil.

Perhaps the biggest challenge in the desert is the lack of water. How can Caroline and Corentin provide themselves with enough water to live in such an extreme environment? The answer lies in some ingenious low-tech.

The breakout success of Chinese DeepSeek has shaken the US’s position as a global leader in artificial intelligence. But although it might seem like a two-horse race between the US and China, the EU was the first region in the world to have created a legal framework for AI and is starting to massively invest in supercomputing and innovation. As the European Commission said, “The race for AI is far from over.”

Is Europe still in the AI race?

Europe may be lagging behind in AI technology, but DeepSeek’s rise is a sign it could catch up.
