i am said he okay, i am studying this episode of the stream wisdom. and what is happening with the price is in your local store or your market. and that is because ukraine and russia share a lot of global productions and key food products like some flower, oil, and wheat. i'm bali and fertilizer. so in this episode of the stream, we are going to look at how the war in ukraine is impacting and fueling a global food crises. and what can be done about it? the un estimates the 55000000 people in the middle east in north africa are malnourished. and this can get worse because the price increases. but there are things that governments can do to help. and that begins with a global or ignition that food is not a commodity like any other is essential to human rights. and that means governments need to regulate prices or provide support to make sure that everybody can afford enough nutritious food. and the global markets also need to begin to treat food as

a right and not a commodity. johnny, i conversation today, we have chava and david catarina gets apple free of you with us as a feed. introduce yourself into international audience. hi, i'm shows a mugger b. i am the world's with program spokesperson in new york. get to have you. hello, david, please introduce yourself to the stream. movies. tell them who you are and what you do. you know, i'm day free bird. i'm the ceo of the production board, which is an investment holding company based in california that works across food and agriculture. we really operate at the intersection of technology and 3rd, get to have you and katerina welcome to the stream. please introduce yourself tower, dance. hello, my name is katrina baton. i'm from ukraine. every present, largest ukraine, aggressive station you created as a business club. you get to have you. all right, so audience, you heard who on our panel, and if you have comments or questions about food prices,

a global food emergency that is happening right now. comment sections right here, be part of today's show. and you may remember those 2 pictures of munitions that shows you on farmland in ukraine. they came from kathrina, katherine and we have more pictures. would you help us understand what it is that some of your farmers a thing on the land? let's start with this picture. this give us an example of what they're having to deal with and try and form at the same time. yeah, it is a very challenging situation now in ukraine talking about killing contain it's basically impossible to do this during campaign in current circumstances where rockets and mines on the fields we have some areas of ukraine where it's still a war zone. no go to war. so basically those farmers are not able to start sharing campaign isn't approximately it's around 30 percent of the area and that is

a huge challenge now at this moment in other areas where it's less mine and less ro kids. so we have challenges with the fuel with paralyzes with seeds, some equipment, because the, for example, with a few or is over here. and i'm on the other side of the world. what is that will got to do with me? but it's because of some of them keep products that come out of ukraine and come out of russia that the whole world is impacted. can you tell us more? give us a few examples? absolutely, by me, i mean the think about this from trees that account for 30 percent of global reproduction around 20 percent of global bass production. so these are critical players in global food security. and any, you know, destruction in the supply chain is going to be felt way beyond the borders of this crisis and the conflict. thank you for that. our grain been around the world. so we need to be constantly producing food to keep those stocked up. so school production

goes down by say, 10 percent, you lose more stock and have more supply. can handle that. and the countries that don't are the ones that are going to be critically impacted. the biggest driver that's going on in the market right now is all of that food that comes off of the farm is being bought in a commodity market. and that commodity markets being fairly heavily affected by the forecast $500.00. but it cost you $600.00 to do the farming. maybe it's not even less solving that year. maybe just take that year. well that season off that either in the past, in the, in the past 3 months, 4 months has gone up 2 to 3 time. and as it gone up that high, a lot of farmers, particularly you come out in the next year because farmers are going to be able to make aren't gonna be able to make as much food this year. the farm in the united states, calling farmers have already reduced their acres by 5 percent. you know, for w s p, we were even looking at the impact of this price, this on the number of ukrainian land as of today. but we will not have money to do

this one campaign of next year, which are registered in august with a winter crops. and that's a huge challenge. that's a tragedy. and that can cause a big problem for our planet. and you've really frank, the problem. so very clearly i want to then hone in on we created the 5 panel problem. the 4th one is really a feed security problem due to the fact as a shipment from the finance and it will start launching a series of policy police that's going to really look at some of the solutions. because while everybody's looking at, you know, rightly so, the, the devastation and the destruction that's happening in the country as a result of the crisis. there's this, you know, parallel economic and fuel crisis that's happening of the same time and really impacting those who are most vulnerable, who are literally on the brink of starvation. these are the ones who are paying the heaviest price they bill. they think i can see got thought so ready to jump out of

his mouth guy david. yeah. so, so i think it's important to understand how the food supply chain work there or the need to do a certain product. so you can take wheat, turn to flour, turn it into bread. it's not that easy therefore to just take rice and turn right into calories for the local population using the same infrastructure. so we have to change the supply chain. if we're going to do that, which means instead of making the food locally from commodities today at the private market, the government doesn't run the food company. they don't make the food, they don't farm. and so we would have to figure out how to get the u. n or some inter governmental agency to cope. it's a new station for us actually. so we are concerned about dissertation inside you can and also outside if now this condition needs to be fine. now, you know, like it will need to stop now the next scene is to open now, if, because all the other kind of price of natural gas has gone up by 2 to 3 x. when

that happened, 98 percent of the world's nitrogen fertilizer, which is the most expensive ingredient for refold because of the conflict. the price for fertilizer around the world went up by $3.00 folk everywhere because all the fertilizer companies need to buy natural gas to make fertilizer like. but there are strategic reserves around the world that can be relieved. the natural gas that can provide some relief and the pressure on the price. will anyone do that? because it's a critical question, right? so once the government start doing this and they start intervening in energy market prices, it can, it can have a lot of military effect because fertilizer, we need to drop the price of natural gas. we need to get government around the world to release their natural gas reserve or very quickly resolve a trade agree. i think it's a bad idea, david, i think refers to finish this war and then the gas prices will go down naturally. because what is happening now,

it should not be happening and that to the 21st century, we're all interconnected. you know, this is one planet for us. so basically what is for the stocks and then the natural gas is going to be don't. that's what i do, i, i'm, i'm not a moral, i'm not, i'm not a moral advocate. proposed. i was answering your question about what, what did a solution and that's it. so that is a solution. it's probably not a popular one and it's not one that will work. but if we want to have a chance that i'm not putting any more time on a solution, if you don't think it's going to work, let me go back here to the black sea catarina, you mentioned the black sea. i'm just going to show it because it's so important here, because at the moment you can't get farmers can't get that port juice out because why just finish my sentence here is a black see here. yeah, this is lexi and you see mc alive where there war was still actions and like line and this guy. yes, right there, week ago. now you can push the back and we have

a disa board, which a very important but also what has happened in russia have put a couple of flagship, you know, around that coast. and some of the, those who look at that you showed in the beginning of the program, will actually send from submarine in this next the area. so can you imagine they're flying when 1000 kilometers you know, to keep from the black sea. so that is how russia is using lexi now, and we need to look at, you know, i think this ships out take their minds out of the and as you can see, does not belong solely to russia. there were other countries you have borders on the black sea, so this is impacting all of these countries. you have a coastline along the black sea. i want to go to bama because bremo was talking about what the a rock government is doing right now to manage the emergency,

the food emergency that is happening around the world. he was by brushes of russia . ukraine had a massive electro mental effect on ordinary iraqis, causing significant increases in the price of food, for example, flowing out by a 3rd in price. and we also saw cooking oils rising to 50 percent in some places, cause a mass protest around the country where we then saw was a direct response by the iraqi government in a comprehensive yet short term approach. firstly, there was this program to do to me food to the needy, including specific provisions for the only month of ramadan. in addition to that, they were salary supplements to those who were pensioners and civil service, the below a particular threshold addition to that, we also sure suspensions of some customs particular good as one government that completely understands the crisis that they are in and maybe for many months

to come, i want to show you something here. searching global food prices, the fair price index, and 201-8220. 22. you can see here 2020, when the food prices start to go up. that, of course, at the beginning of our pandemic, that we're still in and in 20, 22 february. wow. look how high it is that i'm looking for solutions. i promised solutions as well as explaining why we have this global fleet emergency. and for one solution, we go to donna, this is a really interesting idea how we get together and collaborate as well. yes, yes. so when we look at which economy is had access supplies, the u. s. india, european union and brazil really stand out. for example, india followed by the u. s. have extra supplies and wheat that can go to economies, including those in sub saharan africa as well as asia in the middle east. when it comes to warn you have many economies, i can step in certainly the u. s. is number one fall by the euro area,

with other types of foods like oats and sorghum. again, the u. s. and that you really stand out as a con. the 2nd step in certainly of all these countries providing excesses of supplies of food. we can prevent and sort shortage and also greater food insecurity . further, we have so much food insecurity around the world. so many crises around the world, the w f. p is trying to manage, trying to support people in many different places. what is the worst case scenario? are we in it or not yet? that's a good question for me. i think the thing is, is that even before the ukraine crisis erupted, we were warning about a year of unprecedented hunger and need you know, due to factors such as proliferation of conflict, climate change,

the socio economic impact of corporate 19 and also rising food prices and cost of living, so this crisis is not happening in a vacuum. we were already warning about an unprecedented year of hunger. and i think in terms of the solution, yes, there's immediate solutions and you know, we can try to contain the damage. but really, if we really want to move the needle, we really need to have more international collaboration, more commitment to agreements such as the power agreement as a country is really and in conflict respect for the fires and implementation of the buyers. i think these are the ways where we can actually move the new hampton was in today's episode chapter, thank you so much and ah, solution and prove on despite the recent official disbanding of it militarized wing,

a separatist movement is found a life and who in.
