Documented in the effects of Global Warming in the sahara. More than a 3rd of our planet is made up of deserts and dry lands and that percentage is rising every year an additional 70000 square kilometers of fertile land turns to deserts the main course is a deforestation over grazing on the over use of Water Resources all of which deplete the soil of essential minerals with temperatures set to rise over the coming decades the rate of disaster for cation is likely to speed up considerably more to scarcity is already a problem for 1000000000 people most of them in africa. The world risk index says the situation is particularly precarious in the star held region. Lake chad in West Central Africa people here have lived from fishing and farming for thousands of years. It appears the democrat at 1st glance. But one of the worlds biggest environmental catastrophes is unfolding here. 20 years ago the lake surface shrank by 90 percent and now Climate Change has brought extreme weather thats destroying the local farmers livelihoods. Photographer andy spiral is working on a photo project that documents the effects of Climate Change in the entire sahara. Spyros the last reporter in the region before the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic back home in germany africas problems seem far away still they have a direct impact on europe. 80000000 people live in the sahara region their livelihoods will be taken away in the coming years and decades the people have to go somewhere and go they will just a matter of where. On lake chad spiral experienced 1st hand how the climate catastrophe lead to conflicts wars terrorism and anarchy. Extreme weather is getting worse harvests are failing and large parts of lake chad can no longer be traversed because nature can no longer provide for the people here there are intense fights over the remaining resources entire villages have been burned down. Smaller into villages that ended up at war with each other and it was clearly about resources it was but access to water access to food and fishing rights the weapons they used were as archaic as the landscape spears bows and arrows. Of people die on lake charles year due to the regional conflicts that have embroiled the region. And the spiral has photographed in syria. Afghanistan and in the balkans he shoots with a wide angle lens which means he has to get close up to people. Spyros work isnt limited to farmers he also photographs were islamic extremists women who have to understands the interplay between hunger and a religious extremism from seeing them firsthand including only. Drives around the lake at night and recruits young man you offer a 500. 00 and a k 47. 00 is very enticed into someone whose livelihood is disappearing. From that quarter for you and. Also went to nigeria where the conflict between the nomads and the farmers has been escalating for years its now one of the bloodiest civil wars in the world for a week spiral accompanied Muslim Falana nomads as they drove their cattle herd southward during the dry season. But when telling passengers caused the situation to explode when full money herds grains down farming land the farmers shot the cattle the nomads burned down the farmers villages in retaliation both belief theyre in the right and the government is unable to resolve the conflict. Later we heard the other side of the story we went to the christian farmers and listened to their version of what happened this one village called it was completely destroyed by the full army people dozens of people were massacred people were to capitated and they took the heads with them it was very brutal. In mali internal conflicts lead to a military coup. Troops marched through the streets of the capital bamako and force president and Prime Ministers to resign. Not even the deployment of the German Military which had been in the country for 7 years could prevent the total collapse of the government. In march and the spiral was a. An area that was once popular with tourists today the region is isolated and millions of civilians suffer violence there caliphates and ethnic militias but no government mali hasnt been seen for quite some time. With the Prime Minister we went to visit there with the Prime Minister and there was an armed unit a kilometer long at least a 100 vehicles just so we could visit the village says a lot about security there or. More than 2000000 people from the lake chad region have fled due to hunger war and extremism and aspirants provocative pictures show the impact this has on people and how violence leads to trauma and devastation. They have no choice but to flee and they wont be the last. Hunger is on the rise all over the world it now affects around 820000000 people and yet some 1300000000 tons of food a wasted every year in developing countries this is often down to a lack of infrastructure as a result on average 6 to end levon kilos of food a wasted this way per person per year in industrial nations that figure at least 10 times greater retailers and consumers often toss out food just because it no longer a p. Is fresh extending the shelf life of produce could improve the situation. In the. Fruit and vegetables rotting in fields or during transportation to consumers. According to the un food and Agriculture Organization or f a o some 14 percent of food is lost after harvesting and before reaches the market or returner. If you go to a particular country or particular village youre likely to see varying levels of food losses and these youve been on the situation would go up even to 50 percent if youre talking about or less the fruits and vegetables for example if theyre from a does not find a market for that particular food product in a timely basis now this is huge amount of food and if you you convert it into our monetary quantity this is a lot and if you dont wait it is well into the laws to the environment or the Environmental Impact that is also huge. When that happens water pesticides and resources used for transportation are all wasted. Some 70 percent of global Greenhouse Gas emissions can be traced back to food loss and waste. The chief causes include problems of transportation and refrigeration. To power from harvest to Kitchen Table as a race against time. A California Based Company appeal sciences might be able to help. Founder James Rodgers and his team have developed a liquid that could extend the shelf life of fruits and vegetables. Appeal is a little exactly like it sounds peel we applied to the surface of Fresh Produce you cant see it yet if you look well it slows down the factors that cause the fruit to age. It helps even without refrigeration. Appeal is a liquid coating that dries into a kind of edible skin. The coating helps the projects last up to 4 times as long but buys time time to transport to produce to store it and to eat it before it spoils. Based on lip its another natural compounds found in fruits and vegetables. Theyre extracted and blended into a tailor made solution. By combining them in the rate ratios when they dry a dry eye into an arrangement that allows us to control the factors that cause street age which are basically water going out and oxygen going in so same materials were just a new trick by finding the right formula to apply to different kinds of produce early given the same kind of protection that you have about women on a cucumber or on a. Wholesaler natures pride sell some 120000 tonnes of fruits and vegetables a year they import from 59 countries especially latin america in rotterdam the important projects continues to ripen before it sorted packed and shipped to the retailer spoilage and waste is a common problem in the industry but the Company Hopes to minimize these losses in the future. The way they actually bought it and they dont use it and that costs money so in the chain if we dont know what way you dont spend that money wrongly with the be a we can reduce food waste well since you present every day level. Food that used to land in the trash can now be sold. Every day natures pride treat 6 tons of those with appeal before sending them to supermarket shelves across europe. The main customers are in scandinavia germany and the netherlands. Natures pride is the 1st company in europe to use appeal. Theyre planning to start treating other kinds of fruits and vegetables. As far as going by air by using a few we might give them the possibility go by boat and that is of course is they would be fantastic so theres lots of opportunities. So far the new technology is mainly being used by Large Companies smaller ones cant afford it. But appeal says planning to change that with a new Business Model in which retail chains and supermarkets pay smaller produces some farmers to install the necessary set up in return they receive longer lasting produce. Farmers in places that havent had access to National International markets could also benefit. And so the opportunity is to be able to use appeal to reduce the transport station costs and increase the quality so its not a its a way for a small producer to grow something thats intrinsically valuable to collect some of that value. Extending the shelf life of projects will help but it wont end the problem of food loss and waste. For that transportation and refrigeration systems will also need to be improved and expanded. And consumers will have to stop throwing food away and start only buying what theyre actually.
