they will never be big enough to deal with the kwapbltity of food -- quantity of food. there's 20 million tons sitting to be moved out of the black sea. we've been able to move about 2.5 million tons through land and rail crossings and we're trying to expand that. and contributing to the european union efforts to do that, to fix the rail, but it can't account for the amount of food that will be required to move outside of ukraine. senator young: we'll follow up. thank you so much. >> thank you for your service and, governor beasley, it's great to see you as well. just to pick up on that final point. i think the testimony we've received in a number of hearings, including appropriations committee, has been exactly as you said, which is that we are trying to be creative in getting some of that grain out, but the reality is when you've got 20 million tons, we've got to get it ultimately out. through the black sea. senator van hollen: we need to do a much better job of letting the world know that russia is using food as a weapon of war and it's doing a double-edged sword her

in 2000 for the integrated food security classifications. at phase one, a is food secure. more than 80% of households can meet their basic food needs. at phase two, they are borderline. households are skipping meals or liquidating what little they have to feed their families. malnutrition spikes. phase 3 is crisis. hunger prevails so intensely that lives and livelihoods are at risk. it is at this stage the world humanitarian relief organization take into overdrive, providing the kind of assistance that for most is the difference between life and death. that is where we find ourselves today, staring down a global food crisis. in 2021, a record 193 million people in 53 countries across africa, the middle east, asia, latin america faced at least this third crisis phase of hunger. that number reflected many things. job and income losses and supply chain disruption from covid-19, climate shocks, long simmering conflicts, governments restricting humanitarian access to people in need, but it did not account for the latest accelerant of human misery. vladimir putin's unconscionabl

food availability, are you suggesting there will not be enough food production to meet demand?>> yes, sir. >> let me get into the weeds of that. in africa where there is one. 4 billion people the fertilizer crisis along with droughts and fuel costs and other issues, the african development projected recently that you could see of a 20% reduction which i think could be very low in food production inside africa. africa, 70 million people inside africa, when you look at the african agricultural community, 70% of the people in africa are fed by 33 million small farms so if those 33 smallholder farms don't get the fertilizer they need you can only imagine that's 980 million people inside africa that depend on smallholder farms and the fertilizer reach and we are working on these issues as we speak and so imagine we are only reaching 65 million, you can do the numbers and realize we've got a catastrophe looming before us. this is why these grains from russia and ukraine need to be moving quickly and we are working on that as well. i hope we have a solution on the odesa ports in the n

from places with no food. two, prior to that, they were giving you free food. ins this is a reality and this happens and i was part of seeing it. i can guarantee you, i didn't spend any time and i know i'm under oath and giving my honest personal opinion following those things through years, and feeding haitians. many of them began immigrating and in a way of helping haiti we created other problems not thinking that's why i'm suggesting we need to find better balance. if you want a to help a hungry country. in the process of feeding them we may already be investing in a better migration, having less migration issues at the southern border. and just throwing money at the people feeding them today and then creating the problems puts pressure in the border in the south with people left just 10 years before and there they are knocking on the doors of america and that's one of the reasons we need to start thinking better of why it's better embed money in those countries we're trying to help versus throwing them muc

than ability of food. the packaging on the food of white sauce, from a lot that we can do with consumers and lots and lots of projects that can get involved with a great but also how much we purchase and how much we go about how busy daily lives eating. if we're lucky enough or 3 meals a day, it's so easy to forget where our food comes from, anti challenging it can beads, but geez, but a lot of what gets been comes from a small hole to farmers from around the world. and it's them who is struggling most to cope is climate change intensifies and so health declines. and for our next story we're off to africa which is one of the consonants hottest heads. oh, hang us be dealing with the draft and erotic with patterns that i've done the last productivity and threatened foot security. i am a farmer and i know how difficult it is to work with the changing climate of a small farm out. i know roby wire is less talk and grew food crops 2 years ago because of a hush drought, my swell dried out and i lost all my harves

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 ver

but there is also the food issue and the food issue. other colleagues mentioned a lot of the discussions we had 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 sorted 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 expert 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 situation that the world is facing. well, we shall see what happens suddenly at

food availability. are you suggesting that there not be enough food production in order to meet demand? mr. beasley: yes, sir. let me get into the weeds of that just a little bit. and africa, where there's 1.4 billion people, the fertilizer crisis alone with the droughts and all of the fuel costs and other issues, the african development bank projected just recently that you could see a 20% reduction, which i think is -- could be very low -- in food production inside africa. africa, we support about 69 million, 70 million people inside africa. when you look at the african agriculture community, 70% of the people in africa are fed by 33 million small farms. if those 33 million small holder farms don't get the fertilizers they need, you can only imagine. that's 980 million people inside africa that depend on small holder farms and fertilizers to reach them. and we're working on these issues as we speak. so imagine we're only reaching 6235 million -- 65 million. you can do the numbers to realize we have a

today we are in a global food crisis. what can we do together to alert global food catastrophe. to start, we have to understand what led us to the current precipice, the most substantial is climate change. the brutal heat waves we are seeing in texas, the wildfires tearing through europe, the parts of the united kingdom receiving red alert heat warnings for the first time in their history. the biggest threat climate change poses to the world's hungry center sudden shock. it is a long, sustained onslaught. droughts that don't just last for a season, but for years, extreme temperatures, rainfall patterns have affected the crops of bread baskets like the united states, india, brazil, and china, in profound ways but nowhere is the pain of drought felt more acutely than in somalia, kenya, and ethiopia, countries that are part of a region known as the horn of africa. the horn region has two rainy seasons per year. these are the times farmers so their seeds on new pasture. and when they are recorded these things, on 7 separate occasions, this region the horn has experienced three droug

local food markets, local food production has been heavily hit. when you bring in the ukraine crisis, we have seen how the lack of grain, the weight we use our produce, the fact that much of it is produced purely for animal feed, it is exposing the vulnerabilities of it. the fact that one working breakout in eastern europe and have ripple effects all across the global south is shocking. we have been investing in development and other processes. however, the way we are doing it has made countries like kenya and countries in the horn of africa extremely dependent on the global north, which is -- has essentially meant they are not able to produce for their own markets. local food prices in these markets have been on the rise for a long time because much of the ground is being used to produce nonfood agricultural products that are being shipped out of the country. and leaving limited space for local food production. sohail: let's talk about one of the issues in the report that has been highlighted. a dramatic jump in figures after 20 team. -- 2015. th

the shipment of grain and food stocks in markets whip help bridge the global food supply gap and reduceure on high prices. >> ukraine's wheat is vital for the global economy but the russian invasion has made growing andujar vesting crops a dangerous occupation. our correspondent, andrew hard, has been visiting frontline fa heavily bombarded frontline city. >> it's harvest time in war-torn donbas. from his perch, vlad can hear the gunfire miles to the north. traces of smoke on the horizon. then this. two you yain -- ukrainian fighter jets roar overhead to attack russian positions. you can see a russian rocket blazing upwards, narrowly missing one jet. the planes both launch decoy flares and turn sharply heading home. >> we see this almost every day, he says. the pilots do their job, we do ours. my son is fighting on the frontline near here too. farmers and fighters. almost everyone else has left or is leaving this region. hurried farewells at a bus stop to the sound of russian rockets landing nearby. and plenty of those rockets and cluster bombs are hitting ukraine's wheat fields. settin

largest food producer.s is our country, however the director of the food bank told the local media quoting the number of families we serve each month has tripled since october she added that 300 out of the 1,800 families she served this month have applied for help for the first time these are not long-term clients of the bank food, but now they had to stand up as such, because the economy, pardon the expression in recession. and sand and water in the united arab emirates eliminate the consequences of the largest flood in almost three decades, a disaster on a national scale for a country where, on average, only five rainy days a year, the emirate hit the hardest. after the downpours, the streets of the cities turned into seething streams that carried cars like toy water, basements of houses, large shopping centers and small shops were evacuated everywhere, thousands of people were evacuated, our transbaikalia is not a rainy desert, it’s a common thing, but this time the cyclone that hit chita turned out to b

let's check your local food bank? there's a good chance your local food bank is overwhelmed.boise, idaho, the food bank reports they've gone from serving 2000 people every much to 4,200 just to last year. another nearby food bank has reported a similar increase. a spokesperson told in local news station "we are finding out with the rising rent costs for the rising costs the rent eats first. they gasoline each second. to the family has very little to buy food to eat." some like a rich country to you? a place thriving? they can afford it turns energy grid over to china? no. the same story across the country. pennsylvania. the allentown area economical food bank reports a massive increase in families who need food. and the biggest food producing country in the world. that's us. but the director told a new station "since october we have tripled the number of families were -- we are serving every month." 300 of the 200 family she served this month are first-time visitors. haven't spent years at the food bank but the economy is, sorry to use the word, recession. outside food bank i

it's $100000000000.00 food export industry. one of the biggest in the world could be badly affected. and this is happening when the water ukraine is already putting global food supplies at risk. now we're going to bring in our guests in a moment. first, this report from step vasa and neck in the netherlands. farmers have had they want to paralyze the entire country. they have announced that they want to block access to the main airport ship whole other airport support. and rotterdam, the situation has been escalating between farmers organizations to farmers themselves and also the government on the other side in the last couple of weeks that have been promised retained at certain actions. police was involved that has been aggression also towards the minister. and now here we are, the food distribution center, one of the 25 that are being blocked today by farmers. and let's have a look around to see the trucks here. and they were ready to go to the supermarket full of foods meet dairy products. you can hear the cooling machine s

this tendency holds is the food emergency averted for now. i expect prices to continue to follow global food prices did spike in february of this year. and then again in march of this year, we reach to historic highs. after that, food prices started to level off and they've been, they've been falling incrementally since then. at the same time, global serial prices remain about 50 percent higher than where they were about this time last year. so as your prices are still incredibly elevated, despite the fact that despite the fact that overall prices are starting to level of level off, i do expect that cyril prices will, will, i will start to, to fall even more as a result of this deal. i do note though that this deal has a timeframe of 180 days. and i think that the extent to which prices will likely fall depends on whether or not this deal is extended beyond these initial $1120.00 days. where is ukrainian grain most urgently needed? the countries that rely on ukraine and, and on russia, on the black sea for their imports are countries that are

you got income on food. and what about i clear this must significantly increase hunger around the world. what about efforts to offset some of those aberrations and trade routes that have been caused by the war efforts by n g o z efforts by groups to push more trade to other places even by nation, such as brazil, for example, filling in more with wheat, where in where nations like india pull back, is that making any kind of difference in the short term? in the short term, we have indeed the potential to increase for food supplies around the world. and one of the most significant sources would be to get ukrainian grain and other agricultural commodities to the world markets for this to actually happen. however, we need at least a ceasefire and in that part of the world. but also the european union has some potential to mobilize additional resources for food crop reduction by discontinuing temporarily the greening program, which acts to take that land out of agricultural commodity production. on ask you really
