WEBVTT 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 If you're looking to do more to keep your emissions down, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 you should probably start with what you pour in your coffee. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Yep, I'm talking about milk. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 One researcher found that milk, cheese, and ice cream from cows 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 is responsible for about 3.6% of global emissions. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 The almonds in your almond milk, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 take about six times more water to grow than the same amount of oats. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Which is one reason why oat milk is now everywhere. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Well, those aren't the only milk alternatives. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 There's also one that has an added benefit, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 plus, it has humps. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 ALT MILK 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 So now what we're going to do 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 is take a little bit of milk out of each tit, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 and we're going to have a look at that milk. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 (Arielle) Okay, I'm going to give this a try. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I am getting quite-- Oh, there we go. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 All right, I'm milking camel. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 (Lauren) The next two, the next two we got to milk, yeah. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 (Arielle) This is a camel dairy farm 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 and it's in Australia. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 *When Lauren Brisbane started at six years ago. It was the only one in the country. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 It's been difficult 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 because Australians aren't naturally adventurous particularly in new food types. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 In the 1860s Afghan camel, herders were hired to help explore the 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Desert Landscapes bringing thousands of camels with them. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 But with the Advent of trains and cars, camels soon became obsolete. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 So they were released into the wild fast forward to the early 2000s 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 in Australia, was home to more than a million camels, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 which was a problem because those camels cause 10 million dollars 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 in environmental damage each year according to the government. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 So officials tried to stop them by killing thousands of camels in 2010. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Lauren saw this as an opportunity to turn camels into a cash cow. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 This worldwide need for camel milk. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 It doesn't cause a lot of the dysfunction, or the allergy reaction that you 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 get from, you know, dairy, cow dairy milk. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 So it's easier to digest research on camel. Milk is still very scarce. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 There's only limited evidence to suggest that camel milk might have unique, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 nutritional properties and overall, the jury still out at $25. L. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 It's also not cheap Luke. I think it's 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 And C because camels don't produce a lot of milk and the way 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 that you operated areas completely different, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 but it's a very high-end healthy product and to produce that properly is expensive. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Camel milk has been popular in the Middle East and Africa for thousands of years 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 and Australia is nowhere. Close to cracking the list of top producers. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Laura thinks she can help expand the products reach Beyond, just being a fat though. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 So, we had a chat with her target audience. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Would you be willing to try the camel milk today? Yeah. All right. Sure. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 What do you think it actually tastes a lot like goats milk without 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 the pungent taste. Yeah, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 but you have a little bit of milk are if they tell you the stash. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Would you pay $25 for a liter of camel-milk? Maybe once and then see how I go, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 maybe? Okay, that's like four times, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 the amount of get almond milk and I guess as a novelty, it's all right, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Laurens Farm isn't the only one of its kind 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 around a dozen other camel. Dairies have popped up in Australia since 2014. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 And the industry is growing according to one report 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 its projected to grow by 8% globally each year, for the next seven years. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 It's a projection that someone like Jeff flood co-owner of Summerland camel, farm 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 is really banking on nearly eight hundred camels. Now, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 besides our operation here represents pretty much 60% of the industry on in total 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 in volume. So it's a huge R&D project here about. Well, how do we build the heard? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 We've got to take a feral animal and convince it that it's 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 safe to be here. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 It's okay to give up milks. It was a whole training 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 and domestication process in the front. Enjoy. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 So this forms a super clean room? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Okay, and there are some some stuff in jars and some yeah, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 some Tupperware. What's going on here? This is all that cheese prototyping. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 So this was this top secret. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Yes. A lot of that is actually true. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Nobody's done stuff with camel milk work, where you have. So, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 for example, who is anyone made a Parmesan cheese out of a coma. Well, we have. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 So this is, this morning's milk. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 That is so white. It is so white color is very 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 giving you a huge also looks completely different. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Thank you so much. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 And I was really interesting. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 It definitely tastes like milk. It doesn't taste strong like goats milk 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 little bit on the salty side. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 It's really clean. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 What excited really clean mouth feel so it spreads evenly across the mouth. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 The fat molecules. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Like I said, but really small 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 and you get the full flavor of the milk all the way through. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 What is the future of this industry? Look like I would hope that in about 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Years time everybody. In Australia, has tasted camel milk, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 whether it's a gelato or cheese or milk, or they've used the product. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 That's got camel milk in there. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Maybe the skincare range is or something nutraceutical product that uses power 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 scaling camel milk production isn't easy 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 because of their low and sometimes unpredictable daily yield 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 but Jeff's Farm is trying to do just that. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Laurens approach to camel, milk production as a bit different though. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 She puts a lot of emphasis on cuddle time, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 which she says helps the camels feel more comfortable, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 and more willing to give up their milk. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Every afternoon camel cuddling is part of the job really? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Well, that is quite a burden. It is, it's terrible. Horrible. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Be very hard for you. Yeah, very was really great coming from a perspective that 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 we weren't Dairy people, because we looked at camels as camels. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 And we looked at their needs and 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 he loves to cuddle. Hello. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Okay, this is Rosie. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 And from your perspective, is this doing well, weiwei breaking, even at the moment, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 and when we just popping over into the profit sector, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 so when you start anything, it's always difficult, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 but it certainly moving along in a nice Direction. Let's put it that way. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Today is all about versatility. We're going to talk milk Alternatives. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 That's right. It's not just about Pals ball, baby.
