A photographer 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 tends to desert the main courses 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 desert if acacia 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 this the held region. Of. The lake chad in West Central Africa people here have lived from fish. 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 just drawing the local farmers livelihoods. Photographer andy spiral is working on a photo project that documents the effects of Climate Change in the entire sun health. 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 mention just a matter of where. On lake chad spiral experienced 1st hand how the climate catastrophe lead to conflicts wars terrorism and our. Extreme weather is getting worse harvests are failing and large parts of lake chad can no longer be terse to because nature can no longer provide for the people here there are intense fights over the remaining resources entire villages have been burnt down. Or 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 chad 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 been raped and understands the interplay between hunger and religious extremism from seeing them firsthand including only. Drives around the lake at night and recruits young men would you offer a 500. 00 and a k 47. 00 is very enticed him to someone whose livelihood is disappearing. From that quarter for you. 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 a company of muslim full lining nomads as they drove their cattle herd southward during the dry season. But dwindling passengers caused the situation to explode when full lonny herds grazed on 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 this one village called it was completely destroyed by the full army people dozens of people were massacred people were decapitation 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 Minister singh 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 in mufti 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 in mali hasnt been seen for quite some time. We wanted to put me in the so 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. More than 2000000 people from the lake chad region have fled due to hunger war and extremism and the spires 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 or wasted every year in developing countries this is often down to a lack of infrastructure as a result on average 6. 00 to 11. 00 kilos of food a wasted this way per person per year in industrial nations that figure is 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 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 you pending on the situation would go up even to 50 percent if youre talking about less of 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 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 wasters. Some 7 percent of global Greenhouse Gas emissions can be traced back to food loss and waste. The chief causes include problems of transportation and refrigeration. The path from harvest to Kitchen Table is a race against time. A California Based Company appeals 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. But 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. As time to time to transport the project to storage and to eat it before it spoils. Appeal is based on lip its another natural compounds found in fruits and vegetables. There are extracted and blended into a tailor made solution. By combining them in the rate ratios when they dry a dry into an arrangement that allows us to control the factors that cause street to 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. 00 tonnes of fruits and vegetables a year. The imports from 59 countries especially latin america in rotterdam the imported projects continues to ripen before its 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 we can reduce the waste which is you present at every day level. Food that used to land in the trash can now be sold. Every day natures pride treat 6 tons of avocados 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 ben is going by air by using a few we might give them the possibility go by boat and that is a forces 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 the 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 and 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 its 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. Consumers will have to stop throwing food away and start only buying what theyre actually piece.

This is northern finland the baltic coast after hearing the song nothing beats a quick dip in the cold river. Very refreshing when you hear in the water you really feel like a part of nature to let go of it sometime. Said to me we live right in the middle of nature. We can enjoy the woods to pick berries and go hunting. Its important for us that we can grow our own food here and that we have the forest and access to nature in general. Terms name is easy spells but i stuck to simple and straightforward as the town itself a few roads to supermarkets and just under 10000. 00 inhabitants. Is considered one of europes greenest communities the town has managed to reduce its c o 2 emissions by 80 percent. Sap come out of the c n n again it has become clear to us that Climate Change is not on the way its already here. And weve understood that its not just the big players that have to make the change by us. We have to be a part of the changes well. Made and. The key to their success has been creating incentives so that everybody does their part in finlands day cares in schools children are taught how to protect the climbers. Like lucky i guess it all began with a 5050 project we tried it out in 3 schools the children monitor the water and electricity use and get paid half of what theyve saved the school and those who tell the ts then they can buy something with the money the project was so successful that it was expanded to all the schools and Daycare Centers in the. In the past 10 years residents in a pub reduced their Energy Consumption by half and the children of used the money saved to buy toys plants even a pool table. So should come out. Those are carrots. Theyre ready now. The town of easy is surrounded by on spoiled nature as well as some of europes largest people.

We can only change if every person in every family does their part whatever they can doing large and small things is what we need to help fight Climate Change a sea of the 70. Some of scandinavians told us when turbines are located in the Nonrenewable Energy heating oil the pollutes the air for example has been banned e. U.

For 1000000 euros a year selling its left over electricity as a medic see weve had many discussions about when the energy i said about the noise for example and the blight on the countryside and how when turbines disrupt Community Life it just blows up. 60 new Wind Turbines are being planned for construction around the outer edge of a primeval forest not one tree has been felt here in the last 100 years. The fact that. You wont be able to conceal the Wind Turbines 300 meters high and set up only a few 100 meters from the spot. So will you be one of the its a common goal to protect nature and. We need the wind power but we also need to protect the surrounding areas. So in mailman its like a puzzle in the end we have to put all of the pieces together to find the best compromise. On. Protecting the climate is indeed a massive puzzle what impact on a little town has been such a global problem the big one according to the people of.
