this came from the un's food and agriculture organization animal specialists are also carrying out emergency treatments and vaccinations to try and save at least some animals. during the drought animals become weaker and services such a bore to some diseases that's why we have to treat them somehow we can't do anything for those animals that died but we hope the others will benefit from the feed on the medicine and will survive and also produce more milk. from. the pastoralist communities in ethiopia somali region are dependent on their livestock for their food and income with few alternatives it's vital to save their animals says. the building is not too late you could see it only be very nervous and have passed so if you see their economy clearly you know less expensive and more efficient to to to then to protect and save neighborhoods and before you know last we talked on with us $190.00 pows and animals will be treated during the super rich. thanks to the newly distributed feed families say their animals are looking stronger. i was one of the lucky ones to benefit from the program for co

food and agriculture organization india waste. 1000000000 euro. the country produces enough food to feed its population in theory the challenge law is in preventing it from going to waste. agricultural economist walking one brown was the director general of the international food policy research institute for many years food waste forced harvest losses hunger and malnutrition he's been working to find solutions to these problems for decades our team went to him some questions. we're laying the table with your theme from brown he's been studying agriculture and health and nutrition for almost half a century. too much on the tabors is leading to. food waste and losses and their word is wasting and losing a lot of food more than 1000000000 tons a year and that has to change. every year consumers in rich countries waste almost as much food as the entire net food production of sub-saharan africa and yet the problem is global. so the losses and wastes add up to one 3rd of the word food supplies. and it's about 8 to 10 percent of all greenhouse gas emissi

a study by the un food and agriculture organization found that $410000.00 hectares of forest were cut down each year. not only does that have a major impact on the climate it also leads to erosion and the forming of new deserts. but the forests aren't being destroyed just to make charcoal they're also being cleared for farmland and yet 87 percent of all trees logged in nigeria are used for firewood or charcoal. harry hoffman is a scientist for years he's been concerned about the charcoal production in africa. it's the only way they can make a living during the dry season it's the end of the dry season before they return to that field has nothing left to pay for school so they go to the forest and cut down trees to make charcoal they can sell on the street even if it is illegal. when they do they risk their fields drying up. back to germany. is the wood specialist at the world wildlife fund today he's brought bags of charcoal to the tune an institute in hamburg to once trade restrictions for charcoal and he's backing up his arguments with facts if it were up to him importing illegal ti

the commissioner mentioned the agriculture that we're now seeing, vertical agriculture, organic, plant-based materials, things of that nature. but i believe also that as we the changing climate, we can talk about new revenue streams for farmers. opens up an exciting new future for farming generally that may make it more profitable consistently profitable. pibig challenge in farming is te ups and downs, especially in dairy. we're beginning to flatten those peaks and valleys out. exports record year in last year. had a little bit of a challenge this year, but our value is up significantly. we're selling about $900 million more in dairy products this year than last year. >> which i think is surprising to some people. you hear so much about the trade the streas stress. you're -- agriculture is global in its scope. we sent a lot south. mexico is our number one market of dairy. we don't send as much north as we need to, in canada. that's important. we send to the middle east and north africa. to southeast asia, korea, japan, china. all over theally world. as the world population grows, it becomes

organ in 1980, there is a resource -based economy, agriculture and fishing and gold-mining. we did not have much technology and organ prior to that. they had a couple of spinoffs. intel did not come to organ until 1978. they built out, have a bigger footprint but the important thing, it's a manufacturing technology base that they have. the other is the income tax state. i think only one or two states in the countries do not have a sales tax or taxation system. i shouldn't say that because our neighbors to the north who we are always looking at, washington is the opposite. they have no income taxes. so when recession comes to us, what happens is we have a quarterly forecast based upon income tax filings. we were picking up very quickly in 2007, people were not smiling. business holding back. employees that were going to file, they were filing temporary advanced payments were not filing. we had a good idea into the other thing i have to tell you, organ is one of those out west that had an ongoing relationship ongoing since inception. for example, federal government owned part o

organization they've complied. certainly they can buy more agricultural products because they needed them and they have the money but this is part of it. let me just tell you when we are talking about california specialty crops and $50 billion year industry in california is more or less depended on trade is hitting hard throughout the country especially in californ california, they face now over 50% of the exports to china. they estimate that their industry will lose nearly $100 million annually due to the chinese trade. meanwhile, california farmers combine numbers in facilitation program and that doesn't cut it. we've lost about 30 cents per pound on the market. nationwide the industry represents more than $2.3 million in revenue since the trade war began and received about 200 million in the first round. beyond the losses they are losing market share as i said earlier to the competitors and those relationships are tough to rebuild after we get past this. that's why i mentioned isn't your job to negotiate the treaty is, the president said he was making cars more than the whole. do you agree with a second round to

keane txico and the triangle maybe much more based in a kind of not industrialized agriculture but more agrocology, m organic have to tackle, for example, the challenge of the low prices of coffee. if you have mexico, central america, colombia, i think we are the suppliers of 80% of high-quality coffee. and organic coffee. so why don't we work on that? that is the concept that we are having. at the same time, most of the energy that is produced in mexico at very cheap prices, it is produced in the southern part of mexico because of our rivers. so it's hydropower. so we have a nexus of production in certain parts that we have o to -- that we can sell at very competitive prices to central america. we sell it to guatemala, but there is a part of 30 kilometers of this here park which is not connected in guatemala and doesn't allow that -- this electricity runs up to honduras and el salvador for cheap prices, so when i said we, there is a model of integration, there is, and it's based on cheap energy and interconnection of electricity and it's a focus on the rural areas and agriculture and creation of employment.

of sustainable agriculture is as much on us as consumers as the farmers our decisions depend on the money we can spend enough food and also our preferences exotic our local produce organic on organic as consumers our decisions can make a big difference. every time we visit the supermarket we make decisions that affect the environment often unthinkingly household budget habits and mood all influence what we buy meat and sausage is bad for the global climate. but what many don't know is that butter is even worse it's production on an industrial scale requires massive amounts of milk and therefore vast numbers of cals and cattle a mix of huge amounts of greenhouse gases. shampoos hand creams even bakery products that is palm oil and hoff of all supermarket products. rain forests around the globe are destroyed to make way for the palm oil plantations. now experts are calling for products ecological footprint to be clearly stated on the packaging. is difficult today although it's changing the technologies are coming out that allow us to understand the full trace to value chain of what we buy and i think that will become increasing the case i mean for now it's very clear that
