Africa. Who jumped out or. How we got it. And i got joe out of the game if. They. Are certain other 100 other elways. That want to as that 6 is. Who lets go 2 what im honestly and about that. Day that. Doesnt get out of the. General or d not that of us that out of go im an economist honest that out of go ever doubt it up rather than of us they are growing at the other end of the get in get out or theyll soon. Get down to the food. That much wanted us to gather. Them up to and the stood out as though. To put that a boom. Out on the ends of the limo. And actually. Will will will. Abide. By. On. The airport and i decide to buy theo p. A 6 years ago this is where the story began. On the tarmac i see white cargo planes being unloaded food aid coming into the country. And at the same time food being exported out. Why is a famine struck country receiving food aid exporting food to the rich world to us. It did make sense. Returning to find out more i couldnt imagine that it was the beginning of the much bigger story. I. Think. The best sleep. Next song and. Wherever i go in the city everything seems to be about developments hunger and poverty are to be eradicated by any means necessary. For the field being government the solution is to invite foreign investors. Would you look at what would be a little bit so i think it will yes it would be good to get this all the laid. Its that in my less than a week i get home that lame is that all about it will be investment and that some are not yet and yes again known as that focus by doubt. It was a gimmick if you take any sort of militia you know you can about how could you not just diplomatically to be investment be so much you can be sure to go on. The call from the government is heard in the Luxury Hotels of the city i meet International Business people inventors looking for opportunities the hot topic on everyones lips is farmland what they call the new green gold. Good. To. See. The the. When i came here i 1st went to Investment Office they said that they were very keen to have Foreign Investment here to stimulate business and also to improve the Foreign Exchange ballots. To commercial operation i could see that it was suitable for what i wanted to do here great rainfall. Good soils and youre really interesting situation its just talk to give it a go. Investors bringing money to a poor country might be good but what happens to the local farmers when the investors arrive. Knowing nothing about the country im pretty lost. But i get to know an environmental journalist dealing with the land issues. See no reason this is a Big Commission by when ive been on the center of that. It means damage on the road ecology system of the park and its never reported on the media and the things that for us to miss i think it is another big disaster because you cant cover that for us to buy any museum maybe for the next 500 years. Whatever there is for thailand in ethiopia youll find london festers. That isnt the mines i have heard a lot of reports from western region. Now i want to see with my own eyes what exactly is going on. Our gala laus me to join him on his investigative trip to the gun bella region far away in western new york. After 2 days of driving we finally reached our banner for ages this region has been an isolated corner of ethiopia. Somehow it reminds of forgotten world still untouched by modern civilisation. But now things are changing. London it will come because even. To get a little it is a much harder much harder and cylinder seem to fit in with us live in the knowledge he has a much limited big target on it and that hell end up going to look in my. Mind that is it what is a myth what is emma shouted and what is it met that much again give me a kick yet if you look at a dog. One of the thieves went up watch a video so the car 1000 to go out he slipped while it was and what it had been to ask of that the going to ask of the could begin to look at they are going to be how i got. Things she fled here and how can anything be i can get all that fortune. In that. And at the end of the day. I sat down with a tiny little heat sinking into which elizabeth would come i simply he was in my early minute day by left town dividing the school and indian and living in the cellars he had had he was telling me. He got sick alone and comment on the land and the io monad name how could anyone in the canonical elude them but meet my songs. Leaving the farmer we follow the new road. We drive deeper into the heart of the umbrella and reach ethiopias Largest National park the park covers over 5000 square kilometers stretching all the way to solve sudan and is the habitat of many endangered species this enormous area is also home to Indigenous People living off of small farming fishing and hunting. The dream means to expand this park to suit done to south sudan. To make this park the 2nd to be set in getting power in the i think that now. This is region. There is a National Park in the middle here. The area east full of many species by lending money and there is a pleasure that. Investors coming to come to be given land so our warded noun to do the same demarcation quickly as soon as possible so that the then best this cannot be a look at it in the center of the park so this is what we are doing but who knows the pressure come from the federal i were playing maybe we can we dont know but the seed we are trying our best. This is where we have now to now. The park official omagh is worried that his small staff cant control the vast area of the park. A few hours later we discover that his concerns appear to be justified. He has. At a junction theres a road side a Company Named saudi star. Buffy soul was very disturbing. I wonder just how does the company hes after in that case. Its sad its funding into the National Park. So i would seriously damage the wide the knife and the lesson of cutting. The thinking and. The cutting and. Cutting and. Cutting and. Cutting. Something. To cut. Costs. In the regional capital argyle goes out alone to find information about the governments plans for the National Park and the saudis start companies. The local Security Police find out that our guy was asking around and they arrest him. The entire night our guy was interrogated at the police headquarters. Early in the morning he was released and ordered to leave dumbbell immediately he is told if you care about your security dont ever come back. The opinion is. No plan for me. To live with their Favorite Book again any dear children most of the world must reach over. To get there. Soon be and do whatever. I feel is kind of fear in most places particularly in rootlessness they cannot understand you are in june and just cannot understand you have a right to put it says the Government Policies they cannot understand so it is your job and only way that trying to create a sense of fear and. A serious warning and. In that condition you feel that you went into injured roommates touched by someone ok then run away from softness. The for. Our guy was lucky to make it out of gum bella but for him this story is too important to drop. One beloved harry potter can mathematically. Design a cover of the particle night southeast given a shot. Muslim allies among your Commission Look at innovation youre going to have i get my news flow of you know when you. Look i know that china. Nursery. School. During the beef i mean into eightys about 400000 people died and almost every family dose the luftwaffes. But the hunger has not disappeared. But a 1000000 or so people are still dependent on food aid for their survival. Now if us us from all over the world that are coming here to get to farmland. If at the same time i had a culture a land is taken away from our farmers and crops are exported they maybe even more hunger. Before hardly any International Investors cared about farmland in africa so why are they so interested now. Searching for answers i go to the Global Financial centers in new york the largest conference for agricultural investors is held. I let myself in through the back door. And once you get it there so not so famous American Bank of it why do you rob banks because thats where the money is to be set and in some ways thats why people invest in aggregate because now theres money in the u. S. You can make a profit. An agriculture where you probably couldnt 1020 years ago. But things change around the middle of the 2000 was when we had a big spike in food prices. And the reasons why the president hard to see because on the demand side we have well population going to 9000000000 a lot of new demand commute of asia out of china and on the supply side you know there are questions about how much for thailand is available in parts of the world in particular the head repopulate of parts of east asia europe and other areas. I am. And whats changed in from 2008 is what weve seen Institutional InvestorsPension FundsInsurance Companies private equity funds hedge funds the National Guard to look at agriculture as i say as a real asset something tangible which is you just sort of value a good base invest money in the same way say look before our commercial real estate or ira forestry. d as it turns out the rush for the green gold is reaching every corner of the planet International Investors will soon control over 55000000. 00 hectares of farmland an area larger than the size of germany. Most affected are the poorest countries such as ethiopia. Saudi star has big plans for them bella. The Saudi Arabian companies preparing to farm an enormous area. And theyve already come far. Theyve come really far. To get on with the story we must return to the farm so. Lets. See if she was. The owner billionaire alla moody has a longstanding interest in ethiopia but investigating Land Investments in ethiopia is dangerous. With his arrest and dumbbell a freshness mind argyll has fears about the government. But i was a foreigner making a film about i grew Cultural Development i could contact the company. This was it and so the story. Before we started i was just in case there are some confidentiality. Which may not be disclosed to some interviews theyve made quiet not fish out of the ship at all. And so yes yes. This is you know 1000. And this one like this it is 2000 back that they are no sanction to city 1000 that this one is 4000 that make that sort. Of 10000. 00 that so of course all of the clearly got to be 3 of these here almost all of it so all of this is it is. There and the same. On a structure was in the 6 months of this advice a 1000005 to it well defined. As you know it just. Expired and the. It was a must see moment. It was a government is to provide some more rwanda source that we can expand these 5 and. We are lucky the manager grants permission to visit the farm again barely. Arriving at the farm area we risk ordered by the Company Security service. You know its so to start a Culture Development he just has a 2 compass. And praful comp the Company ProvidesServices Like food Service Clinic service for the people working here we have a football field people do football kates like they are in near future also again will have a Swimming Pool like down so this is very nice place where people live in freely not scared the security is good. The health care good and the Living Standard is very good in the rope to start. All the camp facilities they are designed in good way done by Swedish Company dropped. So what was here before you started. It was simply. A forest but when i say forests not like it is one of. But you see this fiercely populated oh that was clipped and if you noticed. Production. Little get the brown rice and but i was it moved and it always gets white race and thats going out of the polished but this one is only one of the. Last its made is very expensive and you will export police radios. For the night we were given a guest room at the farm compound but we dont sleep very well the idea that a famine struck country should export rice is just too strange. You know. This all. And female once the project is completed and theres a crop is there you feel something not only in modern times but. For something for the mankind that something gives you comfort. Then there are issues which we fly. Through the displacement of people. Taking place. Theres not much. People living most of the villages that insight yes. The People Living inside what there. Must have been the effect and. This is to protect the. Saudi stars operating on the legal permits awarded by the government but to enable this development the government is a victim the local people from the land. Or Indigenous People whove been living in the area for hundreds of years. We need to find out what happened to them and know. That. The most difficult piece. Of sides. Most people are afraid of the government must be freedom. And said fear is just a fight. But what you call there is any thought of mind and spice. Just pick up against the Land Investments youll be branded on to development and an endeavor very quickly in jail. And. Finally our goal manages to find people willing to talk to us. Going to get. One complete movie you took a model. Demotic it why no collect money. Well you know what it. Would be done would only. Leave you to your god. Given gloria what you. Were none of. Which i know. I want to but im one of. The. With a year. Whatever you are down here. And. You. Know he can come back in my money in a year paul. Walker. Or colonel tim york at a popular event in the movie. Marking the belmont and then iconic i one month variable a new to me to have a at the courtship the more difficult to the very cover i want to come by whom betty. Eat. Eat. All over it the o. P. s Small Farmers are being forced off their land and moved to new villages one and a half 1000000 people are about to be evicted. The government calls the forced relocation villages ational creating new villages the official reason is that the locals can only benefit from Development Programs that provide people with Clean Water Health care school and food aid if they live in the villages. The Major Development program in the area is a program called p. B. S. Right beside the saudi star farm we find one of those new villages the only one who dares to speak with us is a local government official. The should go but im not an only due to my model and because i cannot industry i could only go. So will many thought of that article going on under bono become book in the market that im doing been. Forgotten youre going on a double as i dont im not a boozy reseller not. So with you im willing if we get over to your disease doesnt i just it will and i need to know dont you. All know i did everything and. In the new villages we find empty bags on the ground the local farmers whove lost their land now need food aid to survive. Seems hard to believe that these relocations are about helping people. In a. One way good talk about going m. Wanted to be very. Dark and shell come and theyre going to get all good you land among whom but you are now at war get on that you one will go on with a. Good note. To make a deal will make it to your quotable and get you down dont need to do would you pull the whole they dont need you but a year there would be yeah it would have been doubtful. Ruin a veteran or one you could walk on by to come by lemon antitobacco. Going on i want to go no come out when he. Can get architect i want to and it to get him talking. But were going to attempt it. Going to take over going to get more room over time to time were going to blow in a good idea to tell you have. A good home. But most of the war. My partner were not meant to but only deployed here to walk there during the lonely year at only doing bokma with one of them oh i put in one year for. The Development Program p p s protection of basic services is meant to help the poorest. The intention is great but it appears as if the Ethiopian Government in gum bella. As exploiting the Development Program to clear land for the International Investors. The p. B. S. Program is funded by the us the European Union and the world bank. The world bank is the Worlds LargestDevelopment Bank and is financed by tax money. The mission of the bank is to end extreme poverty and build prosperity. In ethiopia the world bank has put over 2000000000. 00 into the p. B. S. Program. The world bank is engaged in many countries that have institutional weaknesses that have ethnic tensions that have Big Development challenges and thats why were there ultimately. I think development often involves trade offs and Many Development aspects to come with costs. But people should not be disadvantaged by by a project whether they own the land all they dont own. The one thing is to make sure that those projects are delivered a quality way without jeopardizing the environment so. Making sure that we protect people and in fact benefit society at large without necessarily creating new reserves. In the theo p. A 3000000. 00 people already depend on food aid to survive now the Development Program seems to be creating even more hunger. How can the Small Farmers survive when theyve lost their life and. More food and. Their weird. The family members that are. Now on an up and. Down resident. Oh i have a vision or should i do with him. Argyle got his groundbreaking story now the challenge is to find an editor who dares to publish. Hundreds of Land Investors flood into field. But are they all the same. To find out i traveled to another corner of this beautiful and fertile country. Through. This one looked right. Up to. The thread. So then i went. With the grain is good it would be great you. Think. But i dont think. The 2 days are really. 3. Point of view on this very dangerous trying. To spend time looking at the girl side of the room. The land that we took a nationally had been you just 20 years before by the state farm system but they had abandoned it because they said its too dry to grow crops so we were the 1st people to plow in that area. If i can just point out across the way yeah. There is a neighbor of ours here hes also a local person. He has no infrastructure and much no machinery. But what he does do is follow his crop very closely and he does everything at the right time and you see hes also got a very good crop now id like to just show you this call just here the person the farmer who has this is somebody who lives in addis ababa not following their crop closely what we call an investor they come perhaps once a year to look at their crops the result of that is that we have a lot of things we need this is called i said grass weed its called asking dabo literally means no break what we need is more of the mentality of the pharma rather than the investor people who are committed to growing crops following their crops having that competitive instinct wanting to find something which increases the production. That. One of the things theyre very keen on these people with having export crops in order to increase prices change how we havent gone down that route i mean where we do safe imports. Which varieties this is the i am of the government of. Israel in. Yeah so. Yes well ok and look be there ready now and the others are almost ready so i mean if you can come on wednesday and.
