this is inside story. ah. hello wasn't the program. i'm still robin demons. latest report on global hunger shows we're moving backwards. at least 828000000 people went hungry, one way or another on a daily basis. last year. war natural disasters and rising temperatures are threatening food security. the prices of wheat and other crops have increased exponentially and will continue to do so. in the horn of africa, the severe drought is exacerbating the situation. so let's take a look at the key findings in that un report. nearly 830000000 people around the world went hungry. in 2021, that's up nearly 50000000 the year before and 150000000 more than 2019.

the gender gap has also widened nearly 32 percent of women, a moderately or severely food insecure in 2021 compared to more than 27 percent of men. and around $45000000.00 children younger than fives of wasting, which is the deadliest form of malnutrition. and increases a child's risk of death by up to 12 times. current asset is to kenya's watch or county to give us some insight into how communities are coping. oh, security officers make it clear. anyone trying to jump the queue won't be helped. people here awaiting for cash payouts from king us government money to help them cope with rising food prices and a recurring drought. how much they receive depends on how vulnerable the families are. earlier i'm at the minor, paloma was the hood of all, my animals have died because of the druids. i have nothing left at home to eat. according to the you,

in millions of people in east africa are facing food shortages. the broad stretches far beyond pena parts of europe, yet, and somalia have also been effected even if it starts raining significantly and people plant crops, it will be months before they can harvest anything. climate change is expected to increase the frequency and severity of droughts as rivers run dry. people at the sharp rally are traveling increasingly long distances in search of water, lank, or hank. okay, i've been walking for days with my animals. i finally found some water this side on, but it's not enough. the government has suspended import duties and levies on mays as well as animal feed to cushion canyons when the rising cost of living. but many are still desperate. it is very hard to say. as mothers or of families made to where made the ran out or food, or out of mills for almost a day or 2 days. oh situation where others sometimes event reported our death gears

do tour as hunger does allude, have been reported. saw the situation is very bad. community elders are worried. they say people have started fighting over dwindling resources. it says dr. ha, my son was looking after the camel's. 4 months ago, some men shot and killed him. then they saw all the animals. so people in northern kenya savings, a house in livestock, a man without animals can not provide. drought can wipe out to families, fortunes, and he can take years to recover, to making sure they heard stay alive is a priority. had him a tasa algebra one year county king. ah, let's bring in my guess for this edition of inside story in amsterdam mills molina, a policy adviser on climate justice faction aid in the netherlands, and in the french city of niece is up the reza of a son, a food market, and less than former senior economists that the food and agriculture organisation

of i will welcome to you gentlemen, on this edition of inside story mills had to begin with you in amsterdam. i mean, we see reports and press releases about food, poverty, and food, hunger all the time. what's so different about this report coming out at this particular moment in time? i think the simple answer is that there's an increase that's just astronomical. we've seen that countries haven't been able to recover from covert and then conflicts have come along. and we're also starting to see the genuine impacts of climate on the food systems. it's exposing just how vulnerable bud, the global food systems are to ah, to the shocks to the system that we are simply aren't able to remedy with, with our current food system or the reserve bassy on in nice me. what do you think can come out of this particular report on this and this press conference for it because some eminent names are actually on the list in terms the presentations. you

the director general of the f, a o, an organization that you are connected with. we've got the president of i fad, we've got unicef, the well food program, the w h o, it's a who's who really trying to get the world to focus on. the real problems was very unfortunate, isn't it? because it's been many years that international organizations led by f u and other . ready conditions, particularly dealing with food, but food systems are warning that you're not really doing what they're supposed to be doing to reduce hunger and malnutrition. and in fact, one thing about this support, which makes it even more sad, is that the numbers the statistics to pursue, predates the war, we know crane and all the problems that started this year. it really takes back on the developments in 2021 and before and already we had failed. and in fact, prices of food as you know, had been rising even before the war. so we are in a situation which i think there is no other,

but it's done to call it the crisis and it's not just in the food sector or calling just mention when the climate side political side. so really we are in trouble and i think it is, it is not a good that they all came together and they're pledging again for, for the global efforts. but honestly, something fundamental has to happen or else we are into much, much deeper. ready problems in the future, and of course you've touched on one of those big issues of is ukraine nelson. we come back to you. of course, we can't blame everything. what's happened really in the recent sort of russia war on ukraine. but we were coming out of a pandemic. we saw the problems you might say within 2 years, but the last sort of 10 years has not been an easy time globally in terms of the way the climate is also impacted on all of this. that's entirely correct. ah, we've seen that droughts have increased. we've seen extreme weather increases. we've seen numerous firms of climate catastrophe happen across the globe,

mostly in the global south, mostly impacting women. ah, and as a result, what we've also seen is that local food, ah, markets, local food production has been just heavily, heavily hit. and when you bring in the ukraine crisis, we've seen how the lack of grain, the way we use our produce the fact that much of it is produced for biofuels. the fact that much of it is produced purely for animal feed, that we're not it, it's, it's just exposing the vulnerabilities of it, the fact that one war can break out in eastern europe and have ripple effects all across africa, all across the global south is simply shocking when we've also, for the last 10 years, been investing in development and other ah, other processes. however, the way we're doing that has made countries are like kenya, countries in the horn of africa. extremely dependent on ah, on, on the global north,

which is just essentially meant that they aren't able to produce for their own markets. local food prices in these countries have been on the rise for a long time because much of the fertile ground is being used to produce non food agricultural products that are them being shipped out of the country. ah, and leaving very limited space for local food production. indeed, a me visit, that's sort of the subject of right here and now of the residential talk about sort of one of the issues in the report that's been highlighted. and that seems to be this dramatic jump in figures after 2015. and 11 does what the driving force was because it says that after remaining relatively unchanged in 2015, the proportion of people affected by hunger jumped in 2020 and continue to rise in 2021 to 9 point percent of the world population compared to 8 percent in 2019 and 9.3 percent in 20. 20 lots of figures here. but what was the driving force? what happened in 2015, that, that,

that made it jump so quickly because we didn't have the ukraine war going on, or we didn't have a pandemic? you know, we had the serious crisis with food prices back in 2008 to 2012 period to some extent at that time you know, a lot of issues low in lot of countries and so forth. but we never really came out of that problem and the probably contained it to safety nets through trade and also agriculture which responded to the demand and production increases. but in effect, the deferment hunger and crisis lot of hot spots. joe political issues were all there. they really didn't disappear and i think what happened is that after we, we've kind of finished with the crisis period, we started and you start collecting statistics and numbers and you see,

oh wow. things are really terrible to still. and in fact, one could say today, we probably never recovered. and from 2015 onwards, we see relation of hunger and all the problems that we sylvia with multiple crop failures in many parts of the world happening in also the last 70 years. and then you have, we have now almost 3 years of code it again, you would not been able to see did implications of course, exactly when it was happening. afterwards, the 6 tells us what happens when you, when you would be a disaster, be knew that many countries would not be able to cope with it. but, you know, and the warnings were made. and today be unfortunate to utilize that. the predictions were correct as it is now that so, you know, many, many analysts are warning about the future being much worse than was shown before. simply because this war and all the options in trade. this is not something

probably today again be get the feel of it because of the price response and so for, but it's more than prices people's cars, some is at stake. they, they cannot afford it, they will be eating less. they will meeting poor food, and all of these things is going to come and hunt us back. perhaps in, you know, in a year or 2 short was not going. unfortunately, if you can just look at it in more detail and with nell's because, you know, we're talking about again from this press race, 927000000 people, 11.7 percent of the global population face food insecurity at an insecure levels. so we talk about the pandemic, we talk about people saying, hey, we talk about production not being up to its maximum. that potential. are we now talking about scaling up production to pre pandemic levels because there is the problem is that the workforce nails is not there and add to that to problems with the climate. so we'll talk about climate in a moment. but let's talk about workforce because you need people to, to pick the food or to collect it from the fields. and that's the big issue for

many countries. i think for, for many countries, um i'm sure that is one of the issues, but i think fundamentally we, when we look at the food system, we've made it heavily industrialized. we produce significantly more and more significantly, more land than that we actually need to, to be able to feed the world's population. it's the structure that we've built this on. it's the way we use food. it's the fact that we're using it for bias. as the fact that we're wasting a great deal of this production, which and it's, it's easy to fall into figures and markets and that kind of thing. i want to bring it back also to, to the humanitarian side of things where you see families that are able, that would theoretically be able to produce their own food, not able to because they don't have access to land. we see families now pulling kids out of schools to try to make, make enough money to afford these are these new increased prices which are just

astronomical. so it's not as simple as saying we need to increase production to match this ah, to, to pre panoramic levels. it's about re adjusting the system in such a way that it is sustainable and that it actually works. okay, let me just bring it here in nairobi another guess the with joining us all inside story, morris or younger, is the regional head of disaster risk management plan international. we saw young. oh, good. have you with us from nairobi. obviously, africa is always, africa is always a focal point when we start talking about food insecurity, all and the, and the, and the reasons for the drought or conflict. how is the problem been exacerbated these last few years to the position that you see right now? it does, it does, it does really, really gotten was because what we are we missing across the continent is

4 consecutive failures in terms of rain. so we are seeing a situation where conditions cannot re rejuvenate very quickly in the past. that broadside, close used to be every 10. yes. but what we are, we're missing increasingly, drought conditions of every 2 years. sometimes even every, every one year. and all these being assessable by drive. us like climate change. we are seeing this is even to the security driven by conflict. so it's really good. and last the last few. yes. you're very close to one of those conflict areas. we saw the issue of t grier being a high new story. these last 12 months in ethiopia, we've seen in food insecurity in those areas. and in that with within that part of the hold of africa, how much of a problem is conflict continuing to be?

we see it in somalia with agency don, issues in this, the hell region are all contributing to people having to move to migrate to find food. and it's becoming more and more difficult. the national suffering governments to actually cater for that by gratian of people. yeah, that conflict is, is a major driver, but we should not forget the fact that climate is climate change is also significant. but at least all of these are lean because in the i'll give you the example in us release conditions where that us, that the more us just strains, the more it becomes cause conflicts that are, that also get, get higher. so you are seeing the fusion, well the people fighting over us has pasture because what the conditions because communities moved from one area where there's no water into an area. busy

or they think that is more water, and that causes a lot of conflict in some of these communities because of scarcity in those areas. and that tells you that it's not dest country bit dr. but is something bigger. the driver is its climate induced. climate induced the drivers things to do with climate change, so it's something bigger. we can focus on that now with the reza in nice because in recent weeks we've seen eastern india and northern bangladesh have a deluge of rain. the environment is being blamed or climate change is being blamed, but actually is an example of how quickly people's lives change within a matter of days and how it last that we're still seeing. now there are areas flooded. patty feels inundated and it's going to take years, decades to get that into a recoverable position. yeah, you see the issue is that climate change on all these direct weather situations

that you're facing is serious problem. and you know, that is evident and i think it's not strange for anybody. but one thing that we will also concentrate and think about this is not all about food supply is about livelihood and is about, you know, people's being able to actually purchase food. and that is the other problem that we haven't been able to resolve people's purchasing power is diminishing, they're getting poorer, therefore the less. and this also has to be address that, in fact, one of the drivers going back to your earlier question, why hunger was rising from 2015 wasn't so much the food wasn't available or supplies were trained, they were not. and in fact, even today, production has reached pre koby level for some of the major cereals he probably are on a per capita level, but this population also increases. you would have expected, let's say press, but use more or as a colleague just mention use less for industrial use like

a journal or animal feed and diverted to food world. those things are possibility. but honestly, that is not the big problem today. and perhaps the next few years that the problem is people can't afford it, even at the lower prices that they are now. they wouldn't be able to afford that, let alone what prices we have today, which is 3040 percent at the international level higher and probably a normal level, something like twice as high as last year. so if they couldn't afford to buy the food last year, those prices, how will you expect them to buy this year or next year at current prices? this is a lot to do also with purchasing power as it does which supply. so now let me bring you in here because patching power is a really big issue across you are put the baby to alex and for many people's purses and wallets that they go to the supermarket. because obviously, you know, the various food is manufactured and ends up in a supermarket, all not with seeing a rise in food banks in places like the united kingdom across the us across you might say developed urban weston country. so you have the food, chrysler,

obviously in places like africa and south asia ways, but use the feel sold at local markets. and then you have any other extreme, you might say in the developed countries where it's just not available on the supermarket shelf. and people are resorting to food banks. i think if you, if we're very honest about this, we've seen inequality rise globally. for the last decades we've seen, even in the middle of the coven pandemic, when generally a great deal of people had their purchasing power, hit enormously, their incomes disappear, their livelihoods disappear. and yet the super rich got even richer. and we honestly have a crisis on our hands in terms of distributing and redistributing those funds we've in europe and in, in the netherlands. in particular, we've chosen to start taxing labor significantly more than we chat than we tax production or them. we've taxed businesses or went to we need to reevaluate where and how we're distributing our wells. ah, which i think is fundamental to,

to being able to access this food at the same time. we know that by shifting over to agricultural practices, we know that by including society into this food system that re establishing a relationship with nature, society and farmers. we can build the system and we, we've seen that system work in certain places where we've worked with it as, as action it, it increases all of those things. those things need to be included in that system. they can't be treated as separate issues. okay? and let me just bring in then a morrissey younger that in nairobi because in the not too distant future. and in a few days time, we're seeing the g 20 gather in indonesia. what sort of noises would you like to see from the you might say that the leaders of the economic world, in terms of trying to deal with the issues that you're facing on your continent. yeah, thank you very much. in fact, several points. one,

if i just stick you see significant erosion, especially in terms of gauss going to school of plan international, you're seeing a lot of protection concepts with children. one of the key messages that they can also mention here is investments in resilience, livelihoods investment. because climate change is going to be those for a long time. we need to invest in climate. at the titian program, we need to support communities preferred to ensure that they can, how silly and livelihoods because the cycles of growth i've mentioned the cycles of flooding. they're becoming more info from both via so if we don't invest in these is going to be really quite strong desktop on another point. as we are planning that as well, we see a lot of hunger across the african continental model. honda, a grows even in blue lake height, we have just lost

a lot of an organization. so people are dying as we speak. so there is also an important meeting damsel humanitarian that says there's now a build up. it's got a nice, i mean i know that know you're agreeing with all of that, but obviously the decision makers will be in indonesia. they will be talking at barley, what. what would you like to hear them say? because you feel these sorts of meetings on the periphery, you know how they act, you know, how to behave, you know what they're thinking. well, the thing is that, you know, my previous job is 63 of the agriculture marketing information, which is the g 20 initiative. i really, really urging all that, gee, 20 members to sit around the table and have a real sincere discussion about food systems and the politics out of it. this was the purpose of paying his market transparency and dialogue policy dialogue, nor the time done today. we need that dialogue to really be serious,

and i think that people, politicians are russia is a member. you is a member, the old g 20 countries. it really have to leave. the war is a terrible thing and there has to be a solution for it. but there is also the food issue and the food issue, other colleagues, mention lot of the discussions we have today's about long term investment agriculture. that is absolutely true. but honestly, today we have an emergency and this emergency at least for today, for the next few weeks and months. it's something that can be, can be easily, easily shorted out. as long as politicians agreed to sit around the table and talk sincerely one another about that issue and leave other things out of it. i really hope that amos and g 20 in particular, would be able to put this on his agenda and just try to achieve it. because honestly, if they don't, this would discredit not only do 20 but amos, which was for so long a pride of up to 20. so this is really, really important time. and i hope also that they make sure there are no expos

restrictions by any country. at least those are members of the g 20. so that, you know, we at least don't add to the already very difficult situations that the world is facing. well, we shall see what happens. certainly at the g 20 in the days ahead. for the moment i'm afraid we've got to end of the for this edition of inside story, i'm sure we will re visit the subject and not too distant future for the moment. nills beloved nob saddam morris are younger and i rarely been up to reza, obviously on in nice gentlemen. thank you very much for joining me on this edition of the program and thank you for watching as well. you can watch program again any time by visiting our website at al jazeera dot com for further discussion, go to while facebook page, that's facebook dot com forward slash ha inside story. you can also join the conversation on twitter handle. there is a j inside story for me. so rahman on the inside story team here in doha, thank you for your time. and you can

counter feet, blew cheap, and sometimes dangerous copies of the real thing have been found all over the world . i mean, even the most expensive premium product. it's the secretive and deadly multi $1000000000.00 business. we found one problem was about one 3rd horse day and a and us, which was just an incredible finding. during raids on one of the most notorious mafia gangs in calabria, italian police found consignments of fe call they boil, made from industrial lubricants that were being exported to the united states. the main thing that we do when we carry out criminal investigations is to reconstruct the money flow and the flow of goods and connect pieces together. it office builds does profits that are easy to make and hard to ignore. perhaps it means that all of us should be a little more vigilant about what we put on our plates. intelligent
