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 it
six years ago,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
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
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
particularly in new food types.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Arielle) In the 1860s,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Afghan camel herders
were hired to help explore
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the country's desert landscapes
bringing thousands of camels with them.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But with the advent of trains and cars,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
camels soon became obsolete.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So they were released into the wild.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fast forward to the early 2000s,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And Australia was home
to more than a million camels,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which was a problem
because those camels
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
cause 10 million dollars
in environmental damage each year,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
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
There's 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
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that you get from, you know, dairy,
cow dairy milk.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So it's easier to digest.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Arielle) 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
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
unique nutritional properties
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and overall, the jury still out.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
At $25 a liter, it's also not cheap.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Ah, look, I think it's expensive because
camels don't produce a lot of milk,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and the way you operate
the dairy is completely different.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But it's a very high-end healthy product,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and to produce that properly is expensive.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Arielle) Camel milk has been popular
in the Middle East and Africa
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
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 product's reach
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
beyond just being a fad, 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?
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Yeah, all right. Sure.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What do you think?
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It actually tastes a lot like
goat's milk without the pungent taste.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
- You have a little bit of milk here--
- A camel milk mustache.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Would you pay $25
for a liter of camel milk?
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Maybe once and then see how I go.
(laughter)
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Maybe, okay.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's like four times
the amount of the regular milk
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and I guess, as a novelty, it's all right,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Arielle) Lauren's 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.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
According to one report,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it's projected to grow
by 8% globally each year,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
for the next seven years.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's a projection
that someone like Jeff Flood,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
co-owner of Summer Land Camel Farm,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is really banking on.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We're nearly 800 camels now.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Besides, our operation here
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
represents pretty much 60% of
the industry in total in volume.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So it's a huge R&D project here--
Well, how do we build the herd?
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We've got to take a feral animal
and convince it that it's safe to be here.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's okay to give up milk.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There's a whole training and
domestication process in the front.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
- (Jeff) Enjoy.
- (Arielle) Okay. Thank you.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Jeff) So this room is a super clean room.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Arielle) Okay, I notice some stuff in jars
and some--
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Jeff) Yeah...
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Arielle) Some Tupperware,
what's going on here?
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Jeff) This is all
that cheese prototyping--
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Arielle) So... was this top secret?
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
- (Jeff) Yes. A lot of that is actually--
- (Arielle) Really?
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Jeff) Nobody's done stuff
with camel milk work like we have so,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
for example, has anyone made
a parmesan cheese out of camel's milk?.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Well, we have.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Jeff) So this is, this morning's milk.
NOTE Paragraph
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Arielle) That is so white.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Jeff) It is so white.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Arielle) The color is very--
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It looks completely different.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Jeff) Well, here's to our health again.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Arielle) 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.
