i answer the ok, i am starting this episode of the stream with some very striking pictures of war. debris on farm land in ukraine. there is a direct connection between what you can see in these fields in ukraine, 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 in 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? you an estimate that 55000000 people in the middle east in north africa are malnourished. and this can get worse because a recent 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 crude as a right and not a commodity. johnny, i conversation to say we have shanda and david and katerina gets apple free of you with us shazad. please introduce yourself into the international audience. i am shy the mug ruby, i am the you enrolled with program spokesperson in new york. yes. hello, david, please introduce yourself to the stream audience. tell them who you are and what you're doing. yeah, i'm dave freebird, i'm the ceo of the production board, which is an investment holding a company based in california that works across food and agriculture. we really operate at the intersection of technology and get to have here and catarina, welcome to the stream. please introduce yourself to audience. hello,

my name is katrina, but shanker, i'm from ukraine. i represent largest ukraine, aggressive station. you created a good 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. come at sections right here, be part of today's show. and you may remember those 2 pictures of munitions that i showed you on farmland in ukraine. they came from katerina katherine, we have more pictures. would you help us understand what it is that form some of your farmers are seeing on their line? let's start with this picture. just give us an example of what they're having to deal with and shy and farm at the same time. yeah, it is a very challenging situation now in ukraine talking about doing contain it's basically impossible to do this doing campaign in current circumstances, rockets and lines on the fields. we have some areas of ukraine. we're

still award zone no go into work. 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 russia had formed many of the fuel storage is in ukraine and that causes a deficit now on the market. so lots of challenges and those are oak, it's actually 10 kilometers away from ki if telephone chances is always see the thought that okay, this war is over here and i'm on the other side of the world. what does that war 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 particular crisis is that we have seen, you know, as a well to program. we've seen a lot of crises and conflicts. this may be similar severity, but the consequences of these crisis are really unprecedented. and it's really triggering, we're seeing a collateral hunger across the world. you're talking about 2 countries that account for 30 percent of global reproduction around 20 percent of global based 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. and if you look at our current situation today with russia, ukraine, and not just wheat, but sometimes ill, a body fertilizer. it's a really good hard lesson on how we get food around the world and how wonderful we

are. can you spell that out for us, david, please. so i think it's important to note around the world. the entire planet operates on roughly a 90 day supply of food. that's how much food we have. if we add up all the food and all of our stores and our grain been around the world. so we need to be constantly producing food to keep those stocks up. so it's good. production goes down by say, 10 percent. you lose half of the world, stock of food. and that isn't evenly distributed. what ends up happening in countries that are heavily dependent on importing their food, importing their wheat and importing their calories. they're going to lose out 1st. and those are the countries that are at risk of starving. there are countries like, you know, so again, around the world, 90 days of supply, egypt has roughly 90 days of supply. china has one and a half years worth of food supply and other countries like somalia, tunisia have less than a month of supply. and so when there is

a break in the supply chain that bring food from the farm to the processors to the food companies, to the stores, the countries that have 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 of how much food farmers are going to be able to make on their farms over the next year. because fertilizer prices have gone up so high. so that all sounds very complicated, but that's the connecting the dots on why this crisis is causing such a crisis, such a problem. so if i understand it correctly, for instance, if fertilizer cost you a $100.00 and then it goes up to costing you $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's the problem. and if you don't know, people going to get hungry. so the if i price you month, so sorry, i think either in the past, in the past 3 months, 4 months has gone up. 2 to 3 time. yeah. and as it gone up that high, a lot of farmers, particularly farmers that make a small profit. so you know what? i cannot make money for me and they take their farming acres down and they make like food and that's what the forecast is looking at. it's how much food is going to come out in the next year because farmers are going to be able to make aren't gonna be able to make, make my food this year. the farms in the united states, core farmers have already reduced their acres by 5 percent, which is a huge cutback. and that's because of the price, the fertilizer going up refold. you know, just to build on what david was saying, i mean according to our estimate, if the crisis continues past april were looking at, you know, i would cultural production and harvest being cut by 50 percent in ukraine and then

even possibly 25 percent in russia so it really is a very critical situation and you know, for a w s p, we were even looking at the impact of this crisis and the number of people who are suffering from acute levels of hunger. and we expect if this continues past april, that around 47000000 additional people will be suffering from acute hunger throughout the world in the 81 countries that we operate in. so this is really a huge deal because it's a 17 percent jump from the 276000000 that are already suffering from this issue. so it's really important to really look into the implications and the consequences of this crisis. and it's happening at such a glacial pace. i think this is the biggest challenges that we're in a race against time country and i'm going to share this with you. let me go ahead

and just to comment please. i would say that it is less than today. the war now where you already only 2 percent of the companies pay salary. my company, for example, i'm on those 2 percent, but you can imagine if all the ports in ukraine, a block now by russia. and there's no expert from ukraine of grain and receipt in of on $15000000.00 tone of corn, for example, which is supposed to be shipped to african countries to asia, to middle east until the new harvest comes. so what tragedy dave eve, these war is not going to stop soon in the 4th are not going to be open soon. gun ukrainian farmers will not have money to continue filled works and we're not talking now about the harvest 2022 because as i said, are those who have the ability to do the work. now we do the phone book and we do this during conveying on 70 percent of ukrainian lent as of today. but we will not

have money to do this during campaign of next year, which already starts 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 client. and you've really framed the problem. so very clearly i want to then hone in on. what do we do about this? we don't have to just sit and watch it happen necessarily. this is lee palo roney. she's the secretary general of our 1000, which is the italian feed industry association. again, she just explained some of the biggest challenges that she had in italy. and then let's talk about how we fix them. we create different kind of problem. the poor one is really a feed security problem due to the fact as a shipment. some of the black sea food ethan immunization to these in finding cor, that is one of the main ingredients for the animals. and the 2nd one is actually

think we saw we experienced already an increase of the seen generate fence 20 bucks in the last 3 weeks. we got the results 25 percent of the roman theory on the one on energy create really pressure on the t. this means that the farmer i have really next falls that has to deal with that. it's not, it's not easy to to see what we should do or need to avoid to have to shut down production. so i guess i got your 3 great brains to see if we can do some brainstorming head. i want to share this with you. this is from lawrence, her dad on twitter. lo, it says we live in an interdependent well, but we do need to diversify, breadbasket africa and the world needs more african bread and vege baskets. and then down here on this graphic, african dependence of wheat from russia and ukraine. schanzer thoughts on this

diversification. if just 2 countries take up so much of we're production so much of fertilizer production, then if anything happens, any design so much the happens, then that has a ripple effect. what about the 1st? if occasion is not possible, can we do that now? city late? well, i mean, absolutely. i think this is a really good idea. and as a matter of fact, the secretary general actually launched a report today to look into the ripple effect of the ukraine crisis on 3 areas, food, energy and 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 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, of course, as well as the people in ukraine. so there's definitely an effort to look deeper into this and look into solutions such as diversification. for the time being, we need to at least contain the situation and not make mattress worth. and these are some of the immediate things, keep the food and energy markets open as much as possible. and you know, not in sort of have the unnecessary restriction saving phase. they think i can see you've got thoughts ready to jump out of his mouth guy david. yeah. so, so i think it's important to understand how the food supply chain works. there are these naturally commodities that come off the farm and then they get processed in food factory into food. and each of those factories are designed to take a certain commodity and turn it into a certain product. so you can take,

we turn to flour, turn it into bread. it's not that easy therefore to just take rice and turn rice 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, we would have to make the food remotely and then import that food in its finished product. and that would require a lot of logistical consideration using transportation mechanism like cargo. that's all and whatnot. there is a way to do this, but it requires a concerted inter governmental effort. but the problem is many of the markets operate 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 coordinate the countries that can make the final food product. you're getting the commodities that are available locally, for example, in china. and then how do you get that final product to africa and the horn of

africa and northern africa? that's possible to me and i have a comment for you on youtube. i want to see what your, your candid responses. so on youtube, twila sauce says other countries will begin to take ukraine's agriculture market. begin to fill the gap. it's not a fear that you have right now. it's a new situation, correct? actually, we are concerned about dissertation inside you can and also outside of ukraine, as you know, ukraine increased production from $20000000.00 ton of rain per year, up to $100000000.00 from of green per year. for example, we consume 7000000 ton of corn and we sport on with 30000000 ton of corn. so we can do more. we can process inside the country more. but as of now, this condition needs to be fun fun. now, you know, like that, we need to stop now the next scene is to open now, if, because all the other kind of, you know, sort of

a solution to take time. and i doubt if we have that much of time. i think perhaps many countries that should support you brain now more so far manufacturing countries middle middle is in countries and asian countries were supporting you going in you and vote. but not more than that. i think we need to do more than that and open lexia for the rolled sake. talk to us about the right. can i just say one more? so i think it's look the biggest issue we face the biggest issue over the next year or 2 years, 3 years is the price of natural gas. the price of natural gas has gone up by $2.00 to $3.00 x. when that happened, 98 percent of the world's nitrogen fertilizer, which is the most expensive ingredient performing around the world. all farmers around the world use nitrogen fertilizer, 98 percent of nitrogen fertilizer is made using natural gas. when natural gas prices went up by 3 fault 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. that is a bigger crisis that we need to resolve. 100 percent agree with caterina that we need to get the food out of the black across the black thing. we need to export an opening market conflict. 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 what i see in kind of, i did you tell me, i'm telling you as a consumer who told me as an expert, go ahead. no look. i mean, it's a critical question, right? so, you know, 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 some people have bought and sold based on market prices. but if we want to avoid the catastrophic food catastrophe, that's about to hit us, we need to drop the price of ammonia fertilizer. we need to drop the price of

natural gas. we need to get governments around the world to release their natural gas reserve, or very quickly resolve a trade agreement that allows russia to export natural gas in an open way without sanction. because the sanction or making natural gas expensive and coughing. so they have a very briefly how would you even be out to allow david to say that right, go ahead, go ahead. i think it's a better idea, david, i think we're 1st 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's it is 21st century. we're all interconnected . you know, this is one planet for us. so basically, what is the stopped and then the natural gas is going to be don't, that's what, what i can do. i'm kind of, i'm not a moral, i'm not, i'm not a moral advocate, proposed. i was answering your question about, you know, what,

what do they solution? and that's it. so i bet is a solution. it's probably not a popular one and it's not one that'll work. but if we want to have a chance to break, i'm not putting in more time on a solution. if you don't think it's going to what, let me go back here to the black sea catarina. you mentioned black. 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 their port juice out because why just finish my sentence here is the black. see here? yeah, this is back, sam. do you see mc alive? where there war was still actions like line guy. yes. right there, week ago. now you can push the back and we have a desa board which a very important but also what is happening. russia have to couple sex ships, 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 area. so can you imagine they are 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 are 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 rise up to 50 percent in some places

cause a mass process 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 use to me, food to the needy, included 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 blow a particular threshold addition to that, we also sure suspensions of some customs are taken a 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 to fit price index in 2018 to $20.00. 22. you can see here 2020, when the prices start to go up. that of course, the beginning of our panoramic that we're still in and in 2022 separate. wow. look

how high it is that i'm looking for solutions. i promise 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 economies have access supplies, the u. s. india, european union, and brazil really stand out. for example, india followed by the us, had excess 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, oh, it's an sorghum. again, the, you ask that you really stand out as a com. the 2nd step and certainly of all of these countries provide access as of supplies of food. we can prevent them from sort shortage and also greater from the

insecurity shows that 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. yeah. the thing is, is that even before the ukraine crisis erupted, we were warning about a year of unprecedented hunger and neat, you know, due to factors such as a proliferation of conflict, climate change, the socio economic impact of cobit 19 and also rising food prices and cost of living, so this crisis is not happening in a vacuum. we were already warning about getting an unprecedented year of hunger. i think in terms of the solutions. 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 wars commitment to agreements such as the power agreement as a country is really ending. conflict respect for seats, fires and implementation of the fires. i think these are the ways where we can actually move than a house and at ali was in today's episode, shes a thank you so much. and david and katerina for youtube as well, appreciate your comments, your thoughts asi, next time. take everybody. ah ah, more indians are going under bernard to become tool when i,

when i asked investigate the link, some people are willing to go to reach new funds on al jazeera. when the news breaks your came through the building trying to see if there's anybody else chopped inside. when people need to be hurt. and the story town, i feel like i wasn't really awake until you went to morocco. it definitely changed my life in a good way with exclusive interviews and in depth reports of non hardly. but he left her because al jazeera has teens on the ground to bring you more award winning documentaries and lied nice. the stay just good and it's time for different approach one that is going to challenge the way you think leslie's simplicity to the headlines join me as i take on the lars dismantled misconceptions and debate the contradictions upfront with me. mark lamond who, what out 0 ah,

many aspects of afghan culture had been systematically destroyed or forgotten. the afghan films archive has been largely preserved through all of these years. when so much else was burned, looted, or blown up a small group of people who risk their lives to save the national archive. they managed to preserve the films, and these records of all of the other afghanistan's that existed saving decades of history. they believe these films had something to give to the present moment. in the $960.00 afghans cinema was born filmmakers were on aware of the dangerous to come ah

5 palestinians are killed in israeli raids and overnight, via in the occupied west bank. ah ha clark, this is al jazeera life and also coming up explosions on a russian warship. moscow says it was an accident. ukraine says it targeted the vessel with cruise missiles at least $300.00 dead to floods devastates.
