Farmers' Protests, Climate Change and Gaza: How Crises are Driving Famine

Nearly 300 million people from across the globe are currently facing severe food insecurity. And according to the latest report from the United Nations, that figure is set to rise sharply unless immediate action is taken. Conflict in places like Gaza, Sudan and Ukraine, as well as the rising impact of climate change has left the world facing a devastating struggle to feed its population.
On this edition of The Agenda, Juliet Mann examines what can be done to address the looming catastrophe.
She speaks to Dr Bart de Steenhuijsen Piters, Senior Researcher in Food Systems at Wageningen University, Faustine Bas-Defossez, Director for Health, Nature, and Environment at the European Environmental Bureau, Morgan Ody, a French vegetable farmer and General Coordinator of peasants’ movement, La Via Campesina and Tess Ingram from UNICEF, who’s just returned from Gaza.

Nobody has mentioned human overpopulation! Only a handful of countries still export significantly more calories than they import! Fertilizer and fuel prices are rising. Ground and surface waters are increasingly over exploited and polluted. Fisheries are fished out. And the ecological systems that enable life on Earth are increasingly degraded. On top of all of these things, the climate crisis is exacerbating all of these crises! Talk all you like, but famine will be the new normal across much of the world.
