with cars carry by flooding, effects of climate change, i mean, felt worldwide before a station in the rain forest continued, carbon dioxide emissions have risen again. young people over the world are committed to climate protection. what impact will because change doesn't happen on its own. make up your own mind. d. w. made for mines. mm hm. ah, ukraine 2022. wheat fields up in flames. missiles strikes are targeting farms.

we've done give to young booth, put it in a little bit. thanks. we're on the street shooting at our store house. we were a deliberate target. when the with harvesting machines have been destroyed, freight ships carrying grain needed and africa are kept waiting in the ports. fighting is hindering fur transports in spice of the great deal. fears of famine and civil unrest, our growing soft, what's really good it we will go on strike, come in the middle. if prices don't go down, we'll take to the streets and people might get killed at the side of the site for several months. now, we've been observing this development and trying to understand it is there a strategy? is russia also and eyes and crops to wage its war against you? crane?

ah, ah, it's june 2022 and we are in the south of ukraine just a few kilometers from the front line to the nearby black see ports of odessa and mc alive are being attacked on a daily basis. in this region, grain is grown on a large scale and exported all over the world. at least it was before the war. nadia ivanov us farm is one of many that has been destroyed. she wants to harvest her wheat this year, in spite of the destruction put, put it on the fact that they shot at all our farming equipment. look at the bullet holes here on the selling could resume any time.

even the roof is riddled with bullet holes, shutters and me with. you can see here how heavy the shelling was. good and remember, every one knows. this is the most dangerous own girl partner. shes armor. we are in the so called red zone. no one comes here of their own, free will to the pharmacy. this means few spare parts and zeros state aid. nadia still needs to feed her family. her husband and 3 children all work on the farm. this was way the grain would normally be cleaned. bursey portrait, dark hulu. our 1st reaction was fear, grief and bitterness usually here poor felt a desperate loss, but we don't know how much longer it will go on over jemma, but yeah, we are a little calmer. now. thrush, 50. everyday life is tough. even the trade is the void, the area, but not he has still gets an inquiry for sunflower seeds.

never been to doraville for doris. i would sell them for 24 hours, but never for 8. certainly not for 7. 0, well you can talk to your boss about it, but i don't agree with this price only. okay. uh huh. cobra. okay. the riddle to didn't was to fill the little $195.00 per tons of rock or shift. but i understand that there are additional logistics costs. oh, but it's not the right price to launch them. certainly it's not yourself. it's just a fraction of the previous price for her. the situation is a 3rd ballpark. prices are rising worldwide, fueled by fears of food shortages. she is stuck here with 4000 tons of wheat, and its value is eroding. anger's bullet to have injured isn't painful. he is for the rest of the world and for us with seizure,

our grammar for some it is their food in for us is money for our livelihood, but to carry on working well not yet is not yet know how to keep the business running until recently, the nearby black c ports had ensured short transport routes and good prices. well, trade is all about shifting large quantities cheaply. but now the ports are undefined. they say in the industry that whoever controls the ports controls expos . professor martine kime is an agricultural economist at the university of bon. he's observing the global effects of the war or it's for irons. at some leaps, meters, hunger is being used as a weapons buffer ions at some to sell their withholding food and weapon ising. it also burchesi's on underline, it's not just the grain silos that have been shelba. born out in vic,

russian warships blocking the ports for months have of course led to a shortage of grain elsewhere on up to where it is urgently needed of good high to under for of was doing and doing had been noticed. walden via org, a few stefan meister as a political scientist and russia expert. his theory is that the war is about more than just ukraine noon. i always kept i fights and holland seated to put in. i think there are 2 central goals couldn't wants to a cheerful and stop for strong when dom at 1st he wants to destroy ukrainian society and the state to save his empire verity become 2nd. he wants to change the world which has been primarily u. s. dominated one is he wants to change the european and global security order robots of and on. how does the war in ukraine impact the world wide food supply? globally, only a few countries export quantities securing the majority of the world's food. between them, ukraine and russia, cover almost 30 percent of global demand. in recent years,

countries in asia and africa have become increasingly dependent on cheap supplies from the global north. mm. this is also the case in laura cheney at western africa. it is one of the poorest countries in the world around a 3rd of the grain here is imported from ukraine and russia. we are in no act shut, the capital of mauritania. almost 900000 people suffer from hunger and mauritania in the higher the grain prices on the world market, the more people they are who cannot afford to eat the world food program is active throughout the country to alleviate the worst of the hardship we accompany their employee, mama do so who is responsible for food procurement?

list supplies have almost run out in the no actual warehouse a visible effect of the war in ukraine and high prices on the world market. dementia lynch, we are face as was said, the price of for do, rick is how soon were say, describe the press article cookie that mean if we get to the flow contribution for from our donors, what we used to to have in terms of quantity can afford since prices have doubled, cash donations no longer fun, the quantities of food needed many people can no longer be supported, leading to misery and hunger. of course, that is so the global food system is looking vulnerable and the situation could worse and in the future is in for lever kitten,

our pennies to you all for let's lisa helen supply chains are highly ronald, ours and if there is a destruction somewhere, the entire system is a factor of an american, not pinkish d. we are depended on countries or markets that are becoming increasingly authoritarian stays alcohol striving for more sovereignty and independence edison. we didn't expect our plan for the fact that there could ever be wars in europe again in open. in dba, con, farmers are now looking for other transport routes to sell their grain. we follow a new grain export route to the north of ukraine. here nearly vive, few bombs are falling, but the war is still only present. even large companies are experiencing financial hardship give for, nor can is on the board of one of ukraine's largest agricultural companies. a german native. he wants to stay here despite the war. his team is struggling to

find new opportunities for exports. both them over. all i can say is logistics, logistics. if we have the logistics chain than we can sell to put the about the proposal, mistake so high. if you is weakened economically, it risks losing the war need. and so i told him that along with our 2000 staff, many suppliers and customers had business links with our company. thank my own directly or indirectly. we provide a study income to round 60, to 8000 families. crisis meetings take place almost daily. gustavo, working under extreme emergency conditions until now, goods of also been shipped from this region by the black sea ports, new logistics chains of an unprecedented scale,

have to be set up the ottoman floor. it was expired libel from my 2 or 3 weeks ago. we talked about some blowers for reloading the lock. i was just wondering if you've seen or heard anything. if you have a solution that was missing 0. good tom. even toyota, it'll come. we need a technical solution. fungi, if you find something that will be great on us valuables across it. the problem is that the new roots are longer and significantly more expensive government for the household policy product. ours is a generic product. that means whoever manages to produce and deliver we to the customer, the cheapest cost, when's the ranks consequence? if grain cannot be delivered from ukraine, other countries will step up to replace these values. ukraine has become a strong competitor to russia as a grain supply in recent years, threatening to take russia's place in the international competition. gear

for noah can visits one of the solar facilities here. a 1000 tons of grain were previously loaded here every day. since february, individual trucks have only been transporting a 100 tons per day has to be in this fluency. it's frustrating. it feels like a kick in the guts for many of us leaving on the green lock in among half a 1000000 trucks would be needed to replace the black sea ship transports. the war and destruction of infrastructure has created a long term problem. new land routes which crossed the e. you have to be found urgently. whether by rail on rivers or by truck. there are now huge traffic jams at the board is it's time for political solutions passing. i'm

a sub for alicia from the over such that almost at the signal has to come from the top and politics. it distorts a truly, it will take a political solution. but unfortunately with european bureaucracy, it is taking far too long, patient cut to you, india and hooked up on august the 2nd we actually assumed that this war will go on for longer, not just for half a year. let me be 3 for 5 years and me of and that the black sea will continue to be blockaded by russia dentistry. i'm not sure, of course, it's in our interest for ukraine to diversify its transit routes. if we can to ensure the green producers can reach rolled markets. ukraine apartments yet uh, divide map to com. we are back in noah church in mauritania. what are the dangers if supplies from ukraine continue to fail and prices rise? bread is a major stable fleet. here, when we imports failed to arrive some 10 years ago, they were riots, bloody demonstrations and protests. today the military controls the

streets and with reason, as bread prices are rising again. customers in hungary, she wipes bakery. oh, worried. i heard the bread is gone up today to the thread with how much $120.00 a government subsidies will bread which are coming in. other countries are hard to sustain in indebted mauritania. depend, demik shrank the state budget here as well. walking through the market, we are unexpectedly surrounded by a group of men. we feel their desperation 1st hand, though i hadn't at boardington, hadn't, at that they put the price of bread up to day. i'm out. i've got nobody knows what to do killer prices keep rising. and when that happens here,

they won't go down again. anyway, nick belushi met though you want to set out it. and if the situation doesn't improve and the next few years, we will all become sophists. it's unacceptable hard like we are simple people, we have nothing. we want to lower the cost of living and work. we won't accept it till monday until today, what i could buy 2 loaves of bread with this coin. but now you have to hand over to coin step, you had the need you to defend what michael alex has shown. what i say, can you give me 2 begets? ha, somebody here, give me 2 begets come the guy. what do i owe you? that letter 40 hour a 2 thirds of late is here already spent on food. high prices mean hunger will not know what the v m i that i did. my father is so hungry that he cannot sleep on a food is made from wheat to pilot. i work and live with us, not enough for every one and only a bad desperation. if bread prices continue to rise,

there is danger of civil unrest. way. how did the country become so dependent on grain supplies from abroad? since colonial times wheat has been one of northern africa staple feats spread past and pizza are signs of prosperity. local grains such as millet has been replaced. the western agricultural sector still profits from this situation to day. the colonial legacy still causes political tensions. emerson cons unknown. we have to think differently about all of our policies towards africa hunting. our approach is still very colonial of stickler anesthesia politic. often we need to take these countries more seriously. albert of monarchy, the linda anston the most. oh, the central african republic is one country way russia has been expanding its influence for years. in march, the attack on ukraine was met by

a show of public support among the former soviet union. often supposed that the african struggle against colonialism by providing weapons or building roads concerns about food imposed mingled with resentment to its former colonial powers. this conflict is reflected in politics. african countries joined together in the african union in 2002 to strengthen their participation in well trade. during the 1st peak of the grain crisis chem and mock he saw was invited to saatchi by russian president vladimir putin. brougham. hootin seize the opportunity to publicly communicate his view of the grain crisis or photographer who was the regarding the export of ukrainian grain. we are not preventing it. there are several ways to export grain as possible. it was a,

here to my vladimir putin does not mention the bombing of ukrainian ports. he blames western sanctions on russia for the crisis. monkey saw agrees with this view as a bogus your doorstep sunday. so we're from this is melissa mccall. i think that if we find the right solution would cylinder, we will inform the european nations to alicia at hulu, live brooklyn, and also canada. will she, brooke, or level of live functional suit? that will mean they stopped their sanctions against all kinds of fertilizer or lewis it to fertilizers, which are important for our agriculture element and against the export of russian wheels. exporters show, debra. this he is following the russian narrative. yet agricultural products are explicitly excluded from western sanctions. by is putin's view. so convincing ones are probably mr. ear that the are problem isn't. for other reasons, we have

a rather bad image and parts of this region window now rushes on the scene, it appears as a viable alternative. even kind of emma, it is not a former colonial power. my thought is well received and as a cheaper certain success, bear with us misinformation and disinformation thought. and i think we should rethink our own history and how we interact with these countries. see stone when government isn't done like a dogma. this is the early all the what us oh, put in newton that certainly doesn't want to be regarded world wide as the leader who is driving hunger hyped disputes out there. as a shirley. he already has that image in the west, which is also accurate by that is i thought this probably doesn't bother him emotional english under should because the wider condemns him in any way were tired enough. the in viet, depending on how the war develops and what the outcome might be. there's definitely the danger of a new geopolitical division in the world. your politician, spy,

tiled on an innovative, pushed it off in fire. as fears of famine grow around the world, the harvest begins in the fields of ukraine. ah, russian attacks continue. ukraine reports, losses, grain prices keep rising, which means good business for all the other trade is on the world market, including russia. unexpectedly, russia reports increased exports, full may. how come in the south of ukraine, farmers accused russia of stealing grain from the occupied territories. we meet an informant whose identity is concealed. the town where he lives is under fire. we will fight back.

there is real resistance. our informant is a farmer. we call him sasha. he is threatened by the same fate as his colleagues under russian occupation. the russians came and asked if a farmer here had any diesel. he said no, but they found a container with 3 or 5 tons of it and took it this cannot be independently verified. but so we can form our own opinion, the social calls of friend, the farmer, living under russian occupations since march. how are you? are you okay, are you? well, yes, i'm well, thank god mm. are in full men's lives some way here in the occupied territories. in front of his house, he has observed russian grain transports. in the beginning,

they removed their russian license plates, but now they just drive around with them on the convoys drive and pick up the grain and drive away again, day and night and it's all going to crimea, right? yes, everything is taken to crimea. is this true? we want to know more and check the facts from the region where our informant lives . there are 2 main roads going all the way to crimea, and the ports of savannah to pull and fear, dozier serviceable, is especially conveniently located for international c trade. mm. we contact a company and ask for satellite images. we checked the ukrainian data. indeed, satellite images revealed that the of lisa grain terminal was bustling with cargo

activity and june loading takes place on the 3rd of june. there is further loading on june the 5th, the 12th and the 16th. the load is always yellow and cunning similar to grain or corn, and obviously in large quantities. so they transported a total of a $140000.00 tons of grain. yes, and thought was just here. we received several reports of large quantities of grain being transported from ukraine, although this cannot be independently verified. what is certain is that only $8000.00 tons of food was shipped per year from so vast to pull in 201920202021 bus. in 2022. the figures increased 245-0000 tons for all food products.

it is not possible to conclude exactly where this came from and how it came into russian possession. am i upset? of course. i'm upset. we're losing a lot. we confront russian ministries with these allegations, but we received no answer. according to its own data, russia exported over 80 percent more wheat in may than in the previous year. income from exports is key as professor mos him, kime explains. as the arc tendencies was a shallow chart, i was slung, since russia already eggs, or it's a lot of grain, it tends to strengthen the russian economy, cons normal and pies. and if russia can export at enormously high prices, oh, then of course at the gold mine westland export, and this was back to the more russia connex board,

the more the russian economy benefits was. one will. so, and these are the 2 at the moment show. russia has to generate income to keep financing the war, but it's financing and putting his arm from mark lynch there, put in his power hungry list. he will pull out all the stops to stay in power and to enforce his will and could tie to destroying or stealing and so ingrain is all part of staying in power, generating revenue so plan weakening ukraine economically. again, the wonderful cleaner economist. a freshman ah, the pressure on gray markets as growing the attacks on the black sea ports are causing prices to rise. soon wheat will cost more than ever before becoming unaffordable for many customers. world wide farmers are trying to compensate for the shortages also by using up. they stocks in the port of rostock, germany. a ship is being loaded to deliver we to mauritania,

look fixed. he there is a grain trader. i it for let me figure he is shipping 27500 tons of we to africa from last year's harvest room nicely. thankfully pick your flowers fried mil fresh with philip mumford. early marin look fixed. he lived and worked in ukraine for several years. he wishes his colleagues there were able to deliver the grain themselves. trailer will cartoonish lumberton, for the sake of all ukrainian farmer that we would very much like to see odessa port free again and go to the grain being loaded here is mainly from mecklenburg, west in pomeranian. it was put into storage, and the sailors of rostock port last year looked fixed. he, they had no idea then how much he would end with it. we are, sam,

that's good. hi to him. handsome new vinegar calls it wilson because we bought the grain in the fall and winter with we did not know the buyer, but still had to submit a price to the farmers could fight. then we owned the grain and had a big price ready at the value of the goods on the ship is about $11000000.00 euros . we have to hedge the residents, so hazy cooperation. in this case he will make a profit. but why has the price of wheat risen so dramatically since the start of the war politic sleeva? it's mainly due to uncertainty about how much grain will be available this year. and that's good. i know. on fact, i assure it will normally there has been extensive economic literature on it over the last few years later. what we know today is very simple. math the markets assess whether we have enough stock to last until the next harvest, with any noise. well, the wheat last until new wheat is harvested. my advice if it doesn't due to awful

circumstances like the war, then prices will rise in your heart. that's the only reason i can do pies and i was kind and when the attack on ukraine has exposed the weaknesses of the global food supply chain, company, justice americans, what and so i think it is important to reduce rushes potential for blackmail to, to at least take this leverage out of russia's hands off to 100 name and when he shot. but i think we also have to question our systems in the way we have use globalization to our own advantage. and for our prosperity and for tyler, hatton demons, then we will be able to reduce his vulnerability, and hopefully also the fear have fallen. couldn't win on talking to audience. and what about ukraine? at the end of our filming, we hear that the fighting has intensified. there is still uncertainty about how the wool overweight will play out. ah,
