00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:10,600
[Kaleb] I'm so excited.

3
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,680
[Jeremy] I know, you've been bouncing
around like a three-year-old

4
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:14,760
for a month over this.

5
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:16,000
-[Kaleb] Have you ever been?
-No!

6
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:16,960
[Kaleb] Oh, it's so good.

7
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,840
[music continues]

8
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,040
Did you really have your hair cut
this morning?

9
00:00:25,240 --> 00:00:26,600
Seven o'clock this morning.

10
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,920
To go to an agricultural machinery show?

11
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:30,680
Well not necessarily,
I was getting my hair cut anyway.

12
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:32,560
It was falling every six weeks.

13
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:34,000
But then I thought, if I'm going,

14
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:36,600
I may as well book it
on the Wednesday in the morning,

15
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:38,840
have my hair done and go.

16
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,040
I've been to probably
fifty motor shows in my life,

17
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,600
in Detroit, Geneva, Tokyo,

18
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:47,560
London, Birmingham,

19
00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:51,520
-and I've never had my hair cut to go.
-That's why you always look scruffy.

20
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:54,880
-[Jeremy] Lisa's gonna be furious.
-Why?

21
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:56,440
[Kaleb] Oh, 'cause you've got this.

22
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:01,120
I've nicked her car. She said last night:
"I've got to go to London tomorrow."

23
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:02,720
-[Kaleb] What's she driving then?
-So I said:

24
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,440
"Are you going on the train or driving?"
She said: "Well, no, I'm gonna drive."

25
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,600
And I was drawing breath to say:
"I need your car to go to Birmingham."

26
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:09,680
[Kaleb] You didn't have it in you to say,
did you?

27
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,280
-I just went, "Oh, OK."
-[Kaleb] And then you took her car!

28
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,280
Well, we left before she was up.

29
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,280
-[both laughing]
-So she's going to come out...

36

38
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,880
[Jeremy] Look at the amount
of pickup trucks going to the NEC.

39

Now this is a proper... Look at this chap
here, he's got it all worked out.

No styling happened
with that roof on his pickup.

41
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,760
[Kaleb] No, but it's designed to fit in
a lot of dead sheep.

42
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:08,120

[Kaleb] Oh, look at the CR9!

48
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,360
That's where they had the CR11 last year.

49
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,200
This is a smaller version of it.

50

I can't work out why they've got...
This as a CR9-90.

51
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,160
I know, it says that.

52
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,680
[Kaleb] It's nice, isn't it?
I like the colour. Has it got black rims?

53
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:35,880
-[tractor dealer] Yes.
-Oh, look at that!

54
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,840

That's a bit of me that.

[Jeremy]<i> I, meanwhile,</i>

This is a great start.

63
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:06,360
[Jeremy] A mower.

64
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:07,920
Nearly. It's a mulcher.

65
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:09,080
-Oh, is it?
-Yeah.

66
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:10,320
What's that?

67
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,800
[Jeremy] Erm... Muck spreader?

68
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,480
No. That's a straw blower.

69
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:16,800
What's that there?

70
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:18,960
[Jeremy] Pile driver.

71
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:20,200
Log splitter.

72
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:21,920
What's that one over there then?

73
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:23,480
[Kaleb] It's a tedder.

74
00:03:23,640 --> 00:03:25,520
-It's a what?
-[Kaleb] It's a tedder.

75
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,000
So you mow your grass, you come through
with a tedder, flips it back over.

76
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:30,920
-You see what I mean?
-[Jeremy] No.

77

-Are you well?
-Yeah, not bad, mate.

-Where is the old, er...
-There he is.

-[Kaleb] Are you all right?
-Yeah, not too bad.

[Kaleb] Hello, everybody. I'm Kaleb.

90
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,280
Probably best known
as I'm on "Clarkson's Farm".

91
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,560
But of course I've got my own theatre
tour that I did beginning of the year.

92
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,440

What is that?

98
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,200
And what's that?

99
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:29,720
And that?

100
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,800
Oh look, a lunar rover.

101
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,440
See, this is what it's like
when you walk round without Kaleb.

102
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,720
It's like being in a... I don't know,

103
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,800
a market in Cambodia where you just look
at all the things and think:

104
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:47,600
"Oh, is that a fish? Is it a plant?
I dunno."

105
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:54,480
[Jeremy]<i> Eventually, I arrived in a hall</i>
<i>full of futuristic high-tech equipment,</i>

106
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,360
<i>where I expected to be even more baffled.</i>

107
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,760
<i>But, once the salesman</i>
<i>got his teeth into me,</i>

108
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,280
<i>I became quite intrigued.</i>

109
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:09,920
[salesman] Have you ever seen
something like this before?

110
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,560
[Jeremy chuckling] No. Er, what is it?

111
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,440
[salesman] It's a seeding
and weeding machine.

112
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,200
It's an autonomous vehicle,
electrical driven. It's, er, powered...

113
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,520
-[Jeremy] I'm guessing solar.
-Powered by the solar, yeah.

114
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:22,040
In Denmark?

115
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:23,480
-[salesman] Solar.
-Solar?

116
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,280
What, on June 7th in 1981
there was a sunny day there.

117
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:28,240
[salesman] Exactly!

118
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,720
But what if there's no sunshine?
Which does happen.

119
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,760
It does actually run twenty-four seven.

120
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,120
It has a battery pack in the back,
so it's running in the night too.

121
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,200
[Jeremy] So then,
how's the weeding and seeding...

122
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,480
[salesman] Basically,
this is a seeding machine,

123
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,920
it's a weeding machine,
and it's all done by GPS.

124
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:45,760
[Jeremy] God, how accurate is it?

125
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,080
Accuracy between 8 and 10 millimetres.

126
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,720
Oh my word. What's the phallus?

127
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:51,840
[salesman chuckling]

128
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,920
This one? That's the GSM antenna.

129
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,600
-[Jeremy] So what's that then?
-That's the GPS antenna.

130
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,360
And the last one here,
that is the rain gauge.

131
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,400
So if it suddenly starts raining,

132
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,840
let's say one millimetre of rain,
it will just stop the operation

133
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,960
to avoid damaging the crops.

134
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,640
And then you of course get a message back
saying, OK, it's stopped due to the rain.

135
00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:13,880
-Oh, you can talk to it?
-[salesman] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

136
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:18,040
So you're looking on your phone
or your tablet, on an app,

137
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,960
then you can see, you know,
if it's running out of seed it will stop

138
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,640
and send a message back:
"Hey, Jeremy, I'm out of seeds."

139
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,480
So my recommendation
is to choose the high-value crop.

140
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,600
It could be onion
or beets or red beets or...

141
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,080
Onions? Are onions high value?

142
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:35,400
I would say so, yeah.

143
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,200
[Jeremy] If you filled those up
with onions...

144
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:38,200
[salesman] Yeah.

145
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,760
[Jeremy] How big a field would it do
before it ran out?

146
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,200
You can seed at least five hectares,
that's no problem.

147
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,440
So that's what? Twelve acres.

148
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,280
We're doing five hectares a day.

149
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:49,160
That's brilliant.

150
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,080
[Jeremy] <i>Meanwhile, over in the TED talk,</i>

151

00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:02,520
And no matter what you do,
if you keep working hard, and again,

154
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,280
dreams don't work,
unless you can make that happen.

155
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:06,920
So I think actually believe in yourself

156
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,600
and actually just go "Yeah, you are good
enough" straight away from the get-go.

157
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,160
Don't ever believe that you're not.

158
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:12,200
And if you're not, it's fine,

159
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,000
you're just not meant to be doing
that certain thing.

[Jeremy]<i> Back in the future,</i>

162
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,880
<i>that could plant crops</i>

163
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:28,160
<i>I'd now found a tractor</i>
<i>that had no need for a driver.</i>

164
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,320
So this is probably
the first in the market

165
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,440
that is a fully autonomous tractor

166
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,280
that we can let go
night and day unattended.

167
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,480
-So it just runs?
-Runs night and day.

168
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,120
Set it off, go to bed,
get up in the morning, job done.

169
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,720
You set it up to... drill?

170
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,520
[salesman] Yeah, cultivate.

171
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:47,800
Standard rear linkage.

172
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,800
So you've got
all your existing implements on.

173
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:51,960
Standard hydraulics. Front linkage.

174
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,480
Just everything that you need.

175
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,560
[Jeremy] How fast will this one go along?

176
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,680
Is it just like a normal tractor speed?

177
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,680
Yeah, so nought to 12.6 km/h.

178
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,440
OK. So fast enough to do normal farming.

179
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,000
[salesman] Absolutely, normal work, yeah.

180
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:07,920
-So it can do normal farming.
-[salesman] Yeah.

Without Kaleb.

182
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,400
A tractor with no aggravation.

Farming

190
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:39,080
Yeah.

191
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:40,840
[Jeremy] We are reaching a point

192
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,960
where that's just not working anymore.

193
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:45,640
The climate's changing

194
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,520
and we have a truly idiotic government.

195
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,160
So, it's like beating your head
against a wall.

196
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,760
Idiotic government
and it never stops raining.

197
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,680
There's no point
doing what you do year in, year out.

198
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,720
The definition of idiocy

199
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:00,440
is doing the same thing
over and over again

200
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,600
-and expecting a different result.
-Yep.

201
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,880
We've now reached a point where farmers,
I think, have to say:

202
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:07,760
"We have to do this differently."

203
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:08,720
-Yeah.

[chuckling] You're gonna have
a driverless tractor?

207
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,040
[Jeremy] I'm not a very good
tractor driver,

208
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,440
I've come to understand that
after five years.

209
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,840
I can't plough,
I can't cultivate, I can't drill,

210
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,560
I can't attach anything to it still.

211
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,600
Once that thing's plodding around

And it doesn't make mistakes.
[quietly] Unlike me.

216
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,040
Erm... OK.

217
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,040
You have to mark out obstacles
in the field as well, presumably?

218
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,520
We haven't really got any obstacles
in our fields.

219
00:09:52,680 --> 00:09:55,960
We don't have trees. We've got
one telegraph pole that I hit in...

220
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,400
-There are five in that field.
-[Jeremy] Yeah.

221
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,600
Will it lift everything?

222
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:02,840
It looks quite compact.

223
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,480
Well, they must have written
what its lifting capabilities are.

224
00:10:06,680 --> 00:10:08,080
Did you not ask?

225
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,760
No. I just thought it looked really cool.

226
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,600

Ah, not of the onions and beetroot.

230

we've got to get more tech.

[Kaleb] Mm-hmm.

00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,160
And I discovered that I'm from
this family called the Kilners, OK?

279
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:52,960
My great-grandmother was a Kilner.

280
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:57,560
And they had this huge company
that made glass, huge, massive.

281
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,400
They had two factories, each of which
covered an area of 17 acres.

00:13:01,560 --> 00:13:02,360
Holy moly.

-Wow.

If you bought anything in the world
that was in glass,

so a Gin Sling in Singapore,
a bottle of pills in Texas,

286
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,600
it almost certainly came in a bottle
made by the Kilners.

287
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:14,640
-Yeah.
-They were massive.

288
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,400
-Anyway, they didn't modernise.
-Right.

289
00:13:17,560 --> 00:13:20,120

were coming along

-using modern technology.
-Yeah.

291
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,080
And before you knew it,
Kilners had gone 'cause they didn't...

00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:10,880
"NL"? What does it mean?

308
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:12,560
Netherlands.

309
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:16,880
[Kaleb] "P".

310
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:18,280
[Jeremy] Portugal.

311
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:21,960
Denmark, "D".

312
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:24,520
[Jeremy] Germany.

313
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,560
-For a "D"?
-Deutschland.

314
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:30,760
You'd have thought they'd put a "G" on it
for Germany, wouldn't you?

315
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,320
You'd have thought
they'd put a "G" on it for Germany.

316
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,680
Yeah, but they call themselves
Deutschland, remember.

317
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:37,640
Why?

318
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,160
-That's what they named themselves.
-'Cause everyone hates Germany.

319

[rock music continues]

320
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,280
Leaving England!

321
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,880
Have you seen my passport?
Look how shiny it is.

322
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,840
-[Jeremy] Shinier than mine probably.
-Look!

323
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,000
[Jeremy] Oh, blue! You've got a blue one!

324
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:00,680
Let's have a look at your passport.

325
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:03,360
Yeah, you look like a crim.

326
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,240
You're middle name's Wayne,
I didn't know that. How ridiculous.

327
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,680
-What do you mean "how ridiculous"?
-Well, it's just funny.

328
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:11,120
[tense music]

329
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,760
[Jeremy]<i> Once we cleared</i>
<i>passport control,</i>

330
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,280
<i>Wayne started asking me</i>
<i>about the actual tunnel.</i>

331
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,120
[Kaleb] How deep is it?

332
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:23,000
Erm...

333
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:24,960
Well, it's un... it's not...

334
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,600
It's underneath the bottom of the sea,
if that makes sense?

335
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:30,880
So it's quite deep.

336
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,720
I mean, psychologically
you know you're under the sea,

337
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:36,520
but it's only the same
as being in a tunnel.

338
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,360
Well, you've never been in a tunnel,
have you? No.

339
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:39,320
No.

340
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:41,160
[chuckling] Oh God.

341
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,120
How many trains are down there?

342
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,080
I don't know.

343
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,800
-How many carriages does it pull?
-Don't know.

344
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,800
-How many cars does it fit on a carriage?
-I don't know.

00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,440
OK, so this was after...
This was obviously...

348
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:00,600
-Well after.
-Yeah.

349
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,480
This was 1988.

350
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,680
[tense music continues]

351
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,760
-Holy shit, how wide is it?
-[Jeremy] The train's quite wide.

352
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,880
[Jeremy] And here we go,
we are mounting the train.

353
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,000
It's weird to think this is
the first train you've ever been on.

354
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,080
And I bet not many people

355
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:29,920
are able to say that the first train
they ever went on was a Eurostar train.

356
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,120
You can get out, stretch your legs.

357
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:38,520
I'm gonna stay here.

358
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,240
-What? You don't wanna get out?
-[Kaleb] No.

359
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,240
-You do look nervous.
-I fucking am!

360
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,000
How do they put oxygen down there?

361
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:52,800
-What do you mean?
-Well...

362
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,360
How do they get oxygen
flowing through the...

363
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:58,000
It just goes...
It's not sealed at the end.

364
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,920
If there's two holes at either end,
it's full of air.

365
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,080
I know, but surely
you've gotta push the air down there?

366
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,240
-No.
-Air rises up.

367
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,320
No, it doesn't.
Air goes in any direction it wants.

368
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:17,520
And if you go so far under the sea,
air doesn't travel through water.

369
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,960
You're not.
No, but either end isn't under the water.

370
00:17:21,120 --> 00:17:22,200
We're going into a hole

371
00:17:22,360 --> 00:17:25,240
which is above the ground,

372
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,360
above the waterline...
[voice fading out]

373
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,400
[voices fading in]
Let's say this is the sea, yes?

374
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,240
-The hole starts here...
-Yeah.

375
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:39,120
And here, and goes down like this.
The air is only gonna fill here.

376
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,720
There's air in the tunnel, Kaleb.
I promise there's air.

377
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,760
You don't need scuba outfits to cope.

378
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:47,520
There will be air.

379
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,120
Ooh, we're moving.

380
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:50,880
Here we go.

381
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:54,200
Here we are.

I'm out of England.

[chuckling] It feels weird, dunnit?

389
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:19,920
-[Jeremy] Well...
-Just think five years ago, though.

390
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,640
I know, five years, you'd not been out
of Chipping Norton. Now look at you.

[Kaleb] Oh wow.

00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,640
[Jeremy] This is what abroad is like.

399
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:56,600
-Everywhere is like that.
-[Kaleb] That's very pretty, isn't it?

00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:58,840
[Jeremy] Yeah. Abroad is pretty.

401
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,440
I thought you'd be
like Karl Pilkington coming abroad,

402
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,080
but you're not,
you're actually liking it.

403
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,560
Well, it's nice.
I dunno, it's the views, look at it.

404
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,800
[Jeremy] Yeah, it's really nice.

405
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,800
So they've actually got
some of Jesus's blood in there.

406
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,800
-[Kaleb] The actual blood?
-It's the only example in the world.

407
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:18,560
[Kaleb] How do they know it's his?

408
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:23,200
[Jeremy] Well, now, let's not get
bogged down with how they know things.

409
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:24,960
[Kaleb] I mean, it's like barred up.

410
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:26,440
[Jeremy] Well, it would be.

411
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,000
Imagine if you stole Jesus's blood.

412
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:30,640
[Kaleb] What'd it be worth?

413
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,680
[Jeremy] I think if you took it to
the market at Chipping Norton and said

414
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:35,880
"This is Jesus's blood",
they probably wouldn't believe you.

415
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,280
-They'd tell me to fuck off!
-[both laughing]

[Kaleb] Oh look!

[Jeremy] Now I like this bit here
where you can see down the canal, look.

That's really pretty.

isn't it?

00:19:55,360 --> 00:19:56,400
[Kaleb] Oh, look.

422
00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,480
Have they got crocodiles here?

[Jeremy laughing]

424
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,720

[Jeremy]<i> The next morning,</i>

427
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:19,680

What he's doing
is very old-fashioned farming:

430
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,920
know your farm,
know every square inch of your farm,

431

but use modern technology
to get the best out of it.

432

I've got really excited
about this streamlining Diddly Squat.

-It needs it.
-It does.

We're busy fools at the moment.

435
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,080
That's a good way of putting it.

436
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,080
Oh I know why.
I know why we're busy fools.

437
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,440
-Why? 'Cause of me? Is it me?
-Yeah.

438
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,200
Yeah, I thought it might be me.

439
00:20:53,360 --> 00:20:56,320
Well, I wanted to try
lots of different types of farming...

440
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:57,640
Agreed, but you wake up and go:

441
00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:59,960
-"I know, today... pigs."
-Yes.

442
00:21:00,120 --> 00:21:03,200
"And we're gonna put 'em in the furthest
place on the farm away from the farm."

443
00:21:03,360 --> 00:21:06,440
Yeah, that was a mistake. And
they've eaten and killed all the trees.

444
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,400
"Oh no, what about goats?
Let's get some goats.

445
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,360
-Yeah. Now, where are we gonna put them?"
-Well, I like the goats.

446
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,360
"We'll move them around
and fence it off an area

447
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,600
to build that shelter
three thousand times a year."

448
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:18,680
But, they're great animals.

449
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,200
"I know what we're gonna do now.
I want chickens in that wood over there,

450
00:21:21,360 --> 00:21:24,800
but I don't wanna see their huts so
put them on the other side of the fence."

451
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:26,000
Yeah, I did do that.

452
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,520
"But we'll only get fifty and
have them all in three different pens."

453
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,200
-Yeah, we did do that.
-"That's not a bad idea that."

454
00:21:32,360 --> 00:21:35,360
[chuckling] I did do that!

455
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,440
Well, they're three different types.

456
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,680
They can still run together.

00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,160
[Jeremy]<i> On the way,</i>
<i>we stopped to fill up.</i>

459
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:49,640
Well, let's have some Super 98.

460
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:50,800
[Kaleb] Super, yeah?

461
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,280
[Jeremy]<i> And as the petrol station</i>
<i>had a chip van,</i>

462
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,720
<i>I introduced Kaleb</i>
<i>to Belgium's national dish.</i>

463
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,360
'Cause the French fry
was invented in Belgium.

464
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:02,320
[Kaleb] Was it?

465
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:06,160
[Jeremy] Yeah. You're never more
than six feet from a bag of chips.

466
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:08,800
Hi, mate. What are they?

467
00:22:09,360 --> 00:22:11,200
-[waiter] Meatballs.
-[Kaleb] Meatballs?

468
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:12,720
-[cook] Cow.
-Cow?

469
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:14,280
-[Kaleb] Beef.
-[Jeremy] Beef.

470
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,120
[Kaleb] Oh, OK, yeah.

471
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,720
I'll have one of those
and a bag of chips.

472
00:22:19,360 --> 00:22:21,800
-And then you've gotta put mayonnaise on.
-[Kaleb] Why?

473
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,640
[Jeremy] You've seen <i>Pulp Fiction.</i>

474
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:24,880
"Pop picture"? What do you mean?

475
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:26,680
<i>Pulp Fiction.</i>

476
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,160
-What do you mean?
-[laughing] Oh God.

477
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,080
[Kaleb] Thank you very much.

478
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:39,680
-[Kaleb sighing with pleasure]
-Meatballs.

479
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:41,120
[Kaleb] Thank you very much.

480
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:50,760
[Jeremy chuckling]

481
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,960
Thank you. Oh no, I've gotta pay you.
How much is it?

482
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:56,600
It's, er...

483
00:23:01,360 --> 00:23:04,080
You know your earlobes
are completely see-through?

484
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:05,680

[soft rock music]

486
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:16,280
[Jeremy]<i> After "Wayne Ramsay"</i>
<i>had given his verdict on the meatballs,</i>

487
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,280
<i>we reached our first farm,</i>

488
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:22,200
<i>which straddles</i>
<i>the Belgian and Dutch border.</i>

489
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,200
<i>And there, we met its gigantic owner,</i>

490
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,600
<i>potato farmer Jacob van den Borne.</i>

491
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:31,680
I told you everyone in Holland was tall.

492
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,560
He's very tall. I feel very short now.

493
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,000
-Yeah.
-Even taller than you!

494
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,040
[music continues]

495
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:42,160
[Jeremy]<i> Jacob's farm</i>
<i>is about the same size as Diddly Squat,</i>

496
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:47,720
<i>but judging by the amount of equipment</i>
<i>he has in his city-sized sheds...</i>

497
00:23:48,360 --> 00:23:49,440
[Jeremy] Jesus!

498
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:51,440
[Kaleb] It's unbelievable.

499
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:56,360
[Jeremy]<i> ...it was clear he was more</i>
<i>successful at turning his acres into cash</i>

500
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,040
<i>than we were.</i>

501
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,800
[Kaleb] You've got parking spaces
in your sheds for your tractors!

502
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,240
[Jeremy] And look at those trailers.
Look at them.

503
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,800
[Kaleb] The sprayers, though,
that's unbelievable.

504
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,160
That's your chemical sprayer
and that's your liquid fert.

505
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,000
Er, actually, it's a twin-tank system.

506
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:15,320
[Kaleb] Oh wow, look at that.

507
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,280
-So we do nine thousand litres of...
-Unbelievable!

508
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,200
It's two sprayers in one, Kaleb!

509
00:24:19,360 --> 00:24:20,240
Oh wow!

510
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,200
-[Jacob] So we can do two sprays...
-Look at his little face!

511
00:24:22,360 --> 00:24:24,440
- ...in one go.
-That's unbelievable!

512
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,120
[Jeremy] You're going to need
a trolley for your cock.

513
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:28,200
[Kaleb chuckling]

514
00:24:28,360 --> 00:24:31,520
[Jacob] So this is variable rate.
The tyres' inflating system.

515
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:33,280
[Jeremy] So you can let the tyres down

516
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:34,960
and pump them up
while you're driving along?

517
00:24:35,120 --> 00:24:38,120
[Jacob] Actually all my tractors,
most of them,

518
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:39,960
also have inflating tyres.

519
00:24:40,120 --> 00:24:42,880
[Jeremy] OK, if everything in here
is half a million euros,

520
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,680
which it probably is,
except for the stuff that's more...

521
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:46,880
There's ten million quid in this shed?

522
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:48,880
-[Jeremy] Twenty million euros?
-[Jacob] In here?

523
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:50,280
-[Kaleb] Well, yeah.
-[Jacob] Oh yeah.

524
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:51,880
[Kaleb chuckling]

525
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,400
[Jacob] And again, a two-tank system.

526
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,840
And look, I'm gonna be boring,
I'm gonna talk about this floor.

527
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:03,160
This floor is designed so that air
can come up from underneath it.

528
00:25:03,360 --> 00:25:05,520
So if you store potatoes
or whatever you want to store on it,

529
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:07,600
they're ventilated from underneath.

530
00:25:08,360 --> 00:25:09,960
[whispering] How much does that cost?

531
00:25:11,120 --> 00:25:13,000
[Kaleb] I can smell the potatoes now.

532
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,280
[Jacob] This is what our storage room
looks like.

533
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:17,840
[Kaleb] Holy shit!

534
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,560
[Jeremy] Jesus H Christ.

535
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:21,640
[Kaleb] Shall we have a game of football,
or three?

536
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,120
[Jacob] This shed can hold 6,500 tonnes

537
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:28,960
from the 32,000 tonnes of potatoes
that we can store in total.

538
00:25:29,120 --> 00:25:30,320
[Kaleb] Fucking hell.

539
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,320
[Jeremy] You know we could put
all our barns in this barn.

540
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,360
-[Kaleb] I know.
-[Jeremy] And my house.

541
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,560
-Yeah, and all of Chadlington.
-[Jeremy chuckling]

542
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,080
-[Jeremy] So, another Fendt?
-[Kaleb] Yeah.

543
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:45,320
I should explain. We keep seeing Fendts,
lots of Fendts, huge Fendts.

544
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:50,200
They really are the sort of
most expensive tractors you can buy.

545
00:25:50,360 --> 00:25:53,840
They're like
high-end Mercedes-Benz tractors.

546
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:58,000
And he's got three in every shed!

547
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:00,200
All from that.

548
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,120
'Cause he's adopting the future.

549
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:10,440
[Jeremy]<i> Unsurprisingly, Jacob also has</i>
<i>one other piece of equipment.</i>

550
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:13,880
I had chips for breakfast.

551
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,040
Chips again.
Oh, thank you very much.

552
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,320
[Jeremy]<i> After Kaleb had finished</i>
<i>his second breakfast,</i>

553
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:27,120
<i>Jacob then explained</i>
<i>how he'd made his farm so successful.</i>

554
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,600
And when I went in my fields,
when I started this,

555
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,040
I took over the farm
from my father in 2006,

556
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:34,520
I went to one field

557
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,840
and I harvested
30 tonnes on one spot of potatoes.

558
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:42,920
The other part, same field, same seed,
everything the same,

559
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:44,240
90 tonnes.

560
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,160
That's a difference of 60 tonnes
in one field.

561
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:48,320
And what was causing that?

562
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,600
[Jacob] And that's what we're gonna
figure out.

563
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:54,520
So in 2009
we then started precision farming.

564
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:55,960
A lot of people talk about...
[voice fading out]

565
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,760
[Jeremy]<i> All farmers like to know</i>
<i>the quality of their soil.</i>

566
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,880
<i>But Jacob takes this job to another level</i>

567
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,600
<i>by using specially developed equipment</i>

568
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,680
<i>to give him ultra-precise readings</i>

569
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,200
<i>from under the ground.</i>

570
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,280
So everything in the soil that conducts,

571
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,800
so organic matter,
that's water, that's nutrients,

572
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,280
every part in the soil that is conducting

573
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,680
is giving me the data back.

574
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,240
Do the scan, process that data
and you'll get that map.

575
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,760
-Oh, is that a field?
-That's one of my fields.

576
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,720
[Jacob] The red spots there
are more conducting

577
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,280
and therefore bigger in yield.

578
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,680
[Jeremy]<i> Once he knows where the weakest</i>
<i>and strongest patches of soil are,</i>

579
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,920
<i>Jacob can then programme his tractors</i>

580
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,440
<i>to fertilise and seed</i>
<i>each part of the field</i>

581
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,880
<i>according to its need.</i>

582
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,360
My tractors I programme to be

583
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,760
automatically detecting soil.

584
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,360
Then, they do the job, and at the end,
when my driver drives off the field,

585
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,240
the tractor recognises,
"Oh, you're done!"

586
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:10,880
So you tell the tractor
to do different things

587
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,320
in different parts of the field,
the same field?

588
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:14,280
Yeah.

589
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,600
Seeding, fertilising,
that's all "variable rate".

590
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,480
[Jeremy] <i>And when it comes</i>
<i>to tackling unwanted weeds,</i>

591
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:27,440
<i>he doesn't carpet bomb the field</i>
<i>with herbicides like we do.</i>

592
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,560
<i>Instead, he uses his high-tech maps</i>

593
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,480
<i>to do precision spraying.</i>

594
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,360
We can actually detect those spots

595
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,520
and actually only kill those weeds

596
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:41,360
without touching the rest.

597
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:45,760
So they're spraying, see, it just goes
and when it sees a weed, "choo".

598
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:46,960
That's future.

599
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,960
So if you're not spraying
the chemicals onto the crop...

600
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,200
So you will have a higher yield.

601
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,520
And then you're saving maybe
four grand a year on our herbicide bills.

602
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,320
[Jeremy] So you're not wasting money
on any...

603
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,120
not even a square metre of the field.

604
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,800
-This is NASA levels.
-[Jacob] Reduce that.

605
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:09,960
[Jeremy]<i> And Jacob's methods don't stop</i>
<i>at soil mapping and programmable tractors</i>

606
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:14,320
<i>because he now uses drones</i>
<i>to spray the fields.</i>

607
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,880
If you look into the future

So we are now three metres
below the sea level.

759
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:46,920
Which keeps it cool?

760
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,240
[Peter] The temperature's
completely controlled.

761
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:51,760
[Jeremy]<i> But even more impressive</i>

762
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:55,800
<i>is the way this farm and the city</i>
<i>work together.</i>

763
00:36:56,720 --> 00:36:59,520
<i>When Peter goes out delivering</i>
<i>his dairy produce,</i>

764
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,760
<i>he comes back with brewer's grain</i>
<i>from the breweries</i>

765
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:06,960
<i>and yesterday's unsold stale bread</i>
<i>from the shops.</i>

766
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:08,880
<i>None of which costs him a penny.</i>

767
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:13,680
<i>And then that is made</i>
<i>into food for the cows.</i>

768
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:17,560
[Peter] Look at that.

769
00:37:17,720 --> 00:37:20,240
[Jeremy] And this is what?
A day old? Two days?

770
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:24,080
[Peter] We were wasting so much bread,
and now it comes to us.

771
00:37:24,240 --> 00:37:26,520
[Jeremy] 'Cause the amount of waste
in a city, when you think.

772
00:37:26,720 --> 00:37:28,320
-[Peter] It's unbelievable.
-[Jeremy] Organic waste.

773
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,840
[Jeremy]<i> As for the grass</i>
<i>that's used to feed the cows,</i>

774
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,760
<i>that comes from a very clever source.</i>

775
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:39,280
[Jeremy] So when they cut the grass
in the football stadium,

776
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:40,640
you take the clippings?

777
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:42,600
[Peter] Yeah, from the main pitch.

778
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:44,440
The best grass you can get.

779
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:46,480
[Kaleb] They put seaweed on it
and everything to make it look green,

780
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,600
so therefore the nutrients of that grass
must be insane.

781
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:50,960
-Yeah, it's really good.
-[Kaleb] Wow.

782
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,880
And 'cause you're here you can just
go and grab it all each morning and...

783
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:54,840
Exactly.

784
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,160
So this is the circularity of the city.

785
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:58,680
[rock music]

786
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:02,320
[Jeremy]<i> And this circular efficiency</i>
<i>goes even further,</i>

787
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:06,320
<i>because Peter has a robot</i>
<i>that collects all the manure</i>

788
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:11,200
<i>and that manure is then used</i>
<i>to make drinking water for the cows.</i>

789
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:14,120
[Peter] We take sea water out as well.

790
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:17,760
-Oh, you've got a desalination plant?
-This is our desalination.

791
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:19,880
And it goes to this side of the membrane.

792
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,840
And we heat up
the other side of the membrane

793
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,400
by using the cow dung.

794
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:27,680
So if you put cow dung in this bin,

795
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,080
we put sea water in here,

796
00:38:30,240 --> 00:38:33,600
it heats up to 35, 40 degrees,
you can feel it over here.

797
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,400
-So we have...
-So they're drinking sea water?

798
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:38,040
Yeah, correct.

799
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,720
[Jeremy] And you use
their manure to desalinate it?

800
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:41,680
[Peter] Correct.

801
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:45,520
We're using and reusing everything.

802
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:49,880
Organic waste from the city
to turn it into proteins again.

803
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,960
So, yes, this is the future of farming.

804
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,200
Fuck! Fuck!

805
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:00,560
This is just f...
My mind is in overdrive right now.

806
00:39:00,720 --> 00:39:02,480
It's about to blow up.

807
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:04,080
[soft orchestral music]

808
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:12,000
[Jeremy]<i> Outside, sitting by the solar</i>
<i>panels that power the whole operation,</i>

809
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:14,800
<i>Peter then showed us</i>
<i>the building materials</i>

810
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,920
<i>he was also making out of the manure.</i>

811
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:21,600
[Jeremy] So what do you do with this?

812
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:23,320
[Peter] So this could be an inside wall.

813
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:25,800
-[Jeremy] Insulation?
-Insulation, yeah.

814
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:27,720
-So you could have your house insulated.
-[Peter] Yeah.

815
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,000
Your house would be
literally full of shit.

816
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:31,040
Correct.

817
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,760
-People say mine is anyway.
-[Kaleb] It is.

818
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:35,400
[Jeremy] I'm rarely amazed.

819
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:37,920
Lamborghini Revuelto amazed me

820
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,400
and that's been it
for the last year or so.

821
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,360
And that's taking
virtually nothing from the environment.

822
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:44,800
-[Peter] Exactly.
-[Kaleb] And it's giving more back!

823
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:47,640
[Peter] It's an almost zero footprint.

824
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:49,000
[Kaleb] It's amazing.

825
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:52,120
We actually want to reduce food losses.

826
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,800
Because food losses is dramatic
in the world.

827
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:56,320
We're losing so much food.

828
00:39:56,480 --> 00:40:00,000
About 30% of all food produced
is lost in the world,

829
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,600
while still
one billion people doesn't have food.

830
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:04,280
So we need to change this.

831
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,840
And this can only be done
if you produce local.

832
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:08,960
So what we've established

833
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:13,520
is Diddly Squat is in the wrong location
because it's in the countryside.

834
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:14,920
And it's not floating.

835
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,560
It's where there are fields that's wrong!

836
00:40:18,720 --> 00:40:19,760
[all chuckling]

00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:21,600
[soft rock music]

838
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:28,800
[Jeremy]<i> Obviously, I couldn't relocate</i>
<i>Diddly Squat to the River Thames.</i>

839
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:33,320
<i>But spending time</i>
<i>with these ingenious Dutch farmers</i>

840
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:36,640
<i>had convinced me</i>
<i>that if we're going to survive,</i>

841
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:41,200
<i>we absolutely had to modernise.</i>

842

845
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:54,360
[Kaleb] What is that?

846
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:55,440
We have a problem.

849
00:40:58,440 --> 00:40:59,480
[Jeremy] I don't know.

850
00:41:01,720 --> 00:41:03,320
-[Alan] Been a long time! I'm back, mate!
-Alan!

851
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,200
-You're back!
