around food.ould like to mention something that affects children and adults of all ages. that is having food for people who are not able to swallow food well. i have family members who use the meals on wheels program but unfortunately some people cannot chew the food where they might not have the ability to cut up the food and if they cannot afford caregivers to help prepare the food for them they cannot beat that. -- they cannot eat that. i'm not sure if there is something that can be done to ensure people with medical conditions who need the feud -- you need the food are able to get food properly prepared for them. guest: you raise a number of really important points. it is critical to make sure that our nutrition programs are making food available that meets people where they are. i do not have a lot of knowledge on that particular issue, but i appreciate you raising it. you also raise the issue of making sure we have an adequate caregiving workforce that is accessible to families whose loved o

food went to poor countries. it was a more of a propaganda weapon in this war in, in ukraine then act. oh no i, i guess i think that's totally false. i mean that's like this. yeah. well, you can, it's a supply 10 percent of it was week something like 13 percent of the world's core and before the war. that's been um, you know, but unfortunately they're now producing 35 percent less than what they were doing pretty more. as a result of more and that's less we in the world market, that's less corner of the world market. you know, in terms of, we're the, we went in one sense, it is almost a material because what those supplies mean for the rest of the world is lower prices and lower prices are felt by every country in the world. so yes, there, there was some we did go to africa through the world food program. a lot of, uh uh, we went to north africa and in the mid east, you know, traditional buyers of u claim we, but right now there's almost nothing coming out of the black seas. and their production is it's, uh, yeah

that will lead to food insecurity. that is why they suggested that i join this panel. >> thank you very much. i wanted to follow-up with you on what she was saying about the public in african countries seeing what is happening and seeing russia invading ukraine. but at the same time depending on russia. how do you deal with that? >> a couple of concerns. one is that russia and china have invested heavily in misinformation. wagner is a significant presence in many countries. it has spread broadly on the continent. if your food prices have gone up in your fertilizer prices have gone up, it is because of western sanctions against russia, not russian aggression. the problem is the u.s. and its european partners are making your life harder. we need to do a better job at pushing back on that. we need to change the end result. to be blunt, there is tension when africans look at millions of ukrainian refugees being welcomed with open ours across europe. being given housing and education and health care and they say, there are

yeah, i mean, inflation has been food inflation. it has been, you know, in the high double digits for many countries around the world, including western economies, including the us, including, you know, it doesn't matter. we're actually on that subject. why is, why is food inflation so much higher in western europe that in the global south countries have well, one reason for like very good, you know? yeah, there's a good reason for that, is that, you know, this is this, i think i'll use a fact, a lot of people don't appreciate it is the fact that most the costs are retail food comes after it, leaves the farm. so if you look at the price of bread, the week in that brand is only about 5 percent of the value. so all these other costs afterwards, things like labor costs, things like energy costs, you know, to transform the middle of the wheat into flower, to transform that flower into bread, to get that on grocery shelves, all that costs money. and those are been things that wage rates have been up and a lot of western economies, we've

you think there's any leverage in this particular case relative to food and food security? especially because their own imports, it's a high percentage of their own imports impacted actually by the blockade and the diminishment of grain coming out of ukraine. >> there's a web of connections, some benign, some genuinely malevolent. iran is producing the same drones that are being used to attack civilians in israel and in russia. china is a a central role in o many aspects of these different conflicts. i had not really focus on this before. one of the possible avenues of leverage for president zelensky and ukrainians to seek assistance with china is to say we continue to provide you with critically needed foodstuff. keeping china from providing weapons to rush has been one of our most important sort of geostrategic priorities, something we accused a whole range of countries to over and over to the message to china, stay out of this war. they have come right up against the edge of it, and my hope is that zelensky's plea can produce both help with pulling back china from engagi

now has full food security. why is it that a country which is closed off like that as for food security, or say contact to be on the country? i think there's a country that doesn't have a conflict going on. i mean, i, i can look this, this is, i don't think this is our tarkey is, is necessarily the yes or all tarkey works very well as long as you're having yields that you're producing enough to feed your population. unfortunately, a lot of these areas are also in areas with a very highly variable rainfall. highly variable yields and the fact is they, they have um, you know, when they have big browser production, short balls, they need to import and they, they need, they need a shirt and they are trad, doesn't, there is available as far as i know. and i know, yeah, when it comes to talk to, i suppose, yeah, we simply can talk about about cuba, but isn't the plain peer then the privatized food systems encourage scarcity to increase profits? it's no, i wasn't, i would agree. i would disagree. i would strongly about

why is there any hunger if the world has enough food? is a question of, i think the, the question is affordability, and the question is poverty. and if you see the progress that was made in countries like china, that seems to look at the progress that was made globally prior to the, you know, the last 5 years or so. you see that they marched hand in hand with improvements and income around the world that makes food a 40. and that makes that, that the hunger is, tends to diminish in those things. now when you add conflict on top of the best, that just creates all sorts of additional problems that aren't easy to solve. but to me, the number one thing if, if, if i working with the, to, to solve the problem with conflict and, and i think we would see poverty diminished just like we have seen in places like there are 3 us places you know, around the world as a hell where i lived for a couple of years. it's just a wonderful place. you know, but the, if you have more is going on, it's very, very difficult. because the hell right region embracin

we now have over 800 million people who are food insecure.is that 3.1 billion people cannot afford a diverse and nutritious meal on a daily basis. why is that? the challenges that it would require — because of the complexity of the food system it will require a diversity of solutions that are context—based. what is the problem in one country may be completely different in another. and so we will need... it requires a combination of sustainable agricultural practices. i want to ask you about climate change. how does the way the planet is changing... how does climate change affect global hunger? is it making the situation worse? the food system is actually a contributor to climate change in that approximately 25—30% of all greenhouse gases are emitted by the food system, and that includes carbon dioxide, methane, as well as nitrous oxide, which is quite a potent greenhouse gas, as you know. but the food system is also the system that is the most vulnerable to climate crisis because of droughts and floods and erratic temperature changes that aff

good morning, live food is on air. we are looking into whether everything was tastier and healthier in soviet times. now let's try to understand what really... were classic recipes from the era of the hammer and sickle. many pre-revolutionary dishes , of course , changed with the advent of soviet power; on the one hand, they tried to make food popular and cheap, on the other, they tried to make it healthier. for example, under the influence of the ideas of the founder of soviet dietetics manuil pevzner, they got rid of fatty , fried, spicy, plus... shortage of products, a huge number of all kinds of sauces that were used , well, at least in restaurant and russian cuisine, disappeared, everything was greatly simplified, landed, it became much less interesting, but ingenuity was involved, which sometimes gave interesting results, so all kinds of roots and offal disappeared from the pickle, but instead of them, the soviet culinary specialist nikolai kurbatov added potatoes, pearl barley and carrots, the result became a cl
