  • AD | Beat the Chef is BACK. And this time Mike is taking on Ebbers in a Mystery Box Challenge that celebrates the very best of British farm produce.
    But first things first. We sent them both off to a thriving farm in the UK to learn how their ingredients made it from the fields to the Mystery Box in front of them - and they picked up plenty of key info from BASF’s agriculture experts on the way!
    So, whose dish will best celebrate everything they learnt on the farm? And with 2 normals judging from the sidelines, who will take the crown…?

      So the ad works great on you. The chemicals that the women said are "necessary" are not.
      It is great that they don't spray more than they have to but I guess it's more about the money and less about sustainability.
      A lot of insecticides and herbicides create health problems.
      I would rather have them have a look at real sustainable farms that show how it can be done.

      @@Helen-jl7ju No of course chemicals are not bad per se, I mean everything is made up from atoms.
      Different compounds can be bad for human health and/or the environment.
      There are farms that are using alternatives that are really sustainable and not just working on profit maximisation.
      Even if, because of EU and/or British law, a lot of highly hazardous pesticides have been removed from the European market, BASF, Bayer and so on are still producing and selling these in countries where they are still allowed (Asia, Latin America).
      BASF wants to appeal to the westerner with their greenwashing and with help from ads like these so that you think they are alright but their practices are still the same.
      There are quite a few pesticides that have mid to high solubility in water. Take aldicarb for example.

      @@Helen-jl7ju Well if you have a look at the description it states that it is an advertisement.
      Yes it is complex but easy enough to not fall for big unethical companies like BASF, Bayer (they bought monsanto) and so on. Unfortunately it is like nestlé saying that they strive for sustainability meanwhile they fight to privatize water.
      Problem with most large scale farming is that they are mainly exist to generate money and if a solution is easier to implement and the field itself doesn't require much care (time is money) it will be cheaper to produce and therefore it is often an easy choice to make from a money standpoint.
      I am all for technology and scientific advancement in farming. Drone usage to minimize the killings of fawns while harvesting grains is awesome.

    If you're gonna have a battle when all badges have been awarded, it would be really cool to see a battle where the normals choose their ingredients from a pantry, much like Masterchef, and then they create either a main course or a dessert, getting 30-60 minutes to prepare the dish on paper first. No prep with the food team, just the skills that they have been awarded badges for. And have Grumpy Currie, Poppy and Ben be the judges.

    01:33 just wanted to say someting related to this.
    The concept of wonky veg boxes is not yet put into practise where i live(it should be) but at this point, whenever i see a video of someone using the wonky veg box, i literally cannot see anything wrong with the veg tbh. We are honestly nit picking flaws in appearance of veg at this point. So what if the veg is a bit misshapened and wonky, it aint the end of the world😫the world cannot afford to waste food like that .

When ever they do “wonky” veg packs they sell out first lol. People need to make it clear to the shops that waste isn’t good enough and they need to change.
