i really like your local one but. my maid. focused and says the only way he stayed in business is by diversifying he has his own feed planet. cause the brits sold out their work on. price feed is the biggest cost for fun as europe subsidizes it giving its farmers an advantage and the e.u. has a raft of free trade deals. africa that gives both sides free access to markets but african companies are too small to compete. in the dr where judge today would you. rather that government a government program that was something that much then look out of one so that we really would receive ever and every. time and i'm now forgotten would i think

gunday rose so much produce now they have some to sell the project thought that is the implement this by promoting organic farming the project has also helped create skills especially among women that allow them to make a living through agriculture. the urban farmers can sell their crops at special organic produce markets b.-o. farias. when we started we didn't even know how to do the bookkeeping when it was this tough. but now we know more we're learning to grow as individuals and above all we're partners in the community. urban gardening projects around the world book to our group are as a model the pioneering organization is continuing to expand in quito. the area devoted to urban farming here and key to is growing about 3 hectares or about $200.00 different plots each year. that i knew.
2:44 am

2:45 am
mostly to pensioners and single mothers today he has pizzas that have almost reached their sell by date supermarkets are no longer allowed to throw these products way they are legally obligated to give them to charity organizations. to frank of us happy she can now invite her grandchildren to dinner. you know i have a very small monthly pension like 150 euros and if you have to buy coal and pay for electricity it can get pretty bad. drops by stanislav garage every week she's only 30 but is unable to work due to heart problems she's eligible for a mere 160 euros of government support not enough to get by on stanislav gives her 3 pizzas and some beverages which will keep the family going for about 5 days. this is did you know. at 1st i was ashamed to come here because
2:46 am
a stranger was just passing out food and i'd never done anything like that asking a stranger for food even though i know he helps other people to me he explains to me how it works that i should come every thursday at a certain time so that's what i do now automatically do you would you know. it's. just a. young kid me picks up food from supermarkets in and around prague every day. the law requires stores to give him goods that are about to expire. and that's a good thing says the employee at the prague food bank. that's terrible when you see how many people have nothing to eat and then all these things end up in the garbage in the supermarket it's just terrible. yogurt fruit and chocolate are stacked in boxes in the prague food bank the charity distributes 10 tons of food daily 222000 needy people in and around the czech capital almost nothing is
2:47 am
thrown away here the food is picked up directly or distributed to homeless shelters and soup kitchens. the law now allows us to have much more vailable and a much broader range we now have a lot more perishable including fruit and vegetables. supermarkets think the law is wrong they've already cooperated with aid organizations in the past the guidelines merely increase the bureaucracy they say. the rules a pretty strict sometimes we have to look very closely at which fruit we're still allowed to deliver and which ones were required to throw away and the charities have to prove that the fresh produce is passed on quickly. but it wasn't the supermarkets who took the issue to the constitutional court senior politicians argued that it reminded them of communism and that other potential beneficiaries will losing out. our complaint was about the state prescribing
2:48 am
who the chains have to get the food to. some shops for example used to get the product. but they're no longer allowed to do so despite the quantities available being enough for everyone. when i was emotional. it's not enough says stanislav sadly that due to high food prices even regular pensioners are dependent on his help in his opinion the state is reluctant to help those in need but. the problem is that there aren't many people like me who say to themselves well i have my pension so i don't need to and money and so i can help on a volunteer basis i don't add anything when i do this when i go with you know stanislav would now like a refrigerator in his garage so that he can legally store and distribute even more but the czech republic is by no means a paradise for the needy. and
2:49 am
now to north africa and an almost forgotten conflict since 1973 the polish sario front national liberation movement has been campaigning for an independent state in the western sahara for years fighting raged in the desert 1st against spanish colonial rule then against occupation by morocco in mauritania hundreds of thousands of militants and their families fled the area to camps in algeria there has been an armistice since 1991 but western sahara remains divided it's western most regions are governed by morocco eastern and southern areas are run by the polish sorry a front 160000 refugees still living in camps in the algerian desert. this car is delivering pizza in the desert. and it makes me

2:53 am
spice up the monotony of life here nanny has something of a cult status she's a young woman with her own business who travels the region on her own with her pizzas that i respect. i'm so happy that there's finally a pizzeria in the camp and i hope that hindu will also pursue other projects for. the. extolled it's quite unusual for a woman to open a pizzeria all by herself and for her to work from morning till late at night at about 60 ordinary sal go extro the american or. the next day mani is out on the road again. she passes by reminders of the western sahara war. some of the most seriously injured war veterans live in a dilapidated home outside the camp why. it's important for
