'Blood Phosphate' at what cost? Part V - 'leaving it up to the market': February 26, 2020

Lillian Hanly is looking into the importing of what has been called 'blood phospate' from Western Sahara, occupied by Morocco. There have been four parts broadcast already, this is the fifth, where Lillian asks what the New Zealand government can to do step in. But, to recap a little:

Around 170,000 Saharawi people were forced out of their own land when Morocco invaded in 1975, today they live as refugees separated by a constructed wall and littered with mines. Western Sahara is rich in resources, and it is understood Morocco is taking advantage of this. One particular resource that is being mined without the consent of the Saharawi people is phosphate. Two of the three remaining companies in the world to buy this disputed phosphate from Morocco are NZ companies. Australia, Canada, America - all have pulled out of this trade in the hope that the referendum, called for in 1991, can take place. So the Saharawi people can choose their independence.

First we heard from Tecber Ahmed Saleh, a Saharawi resistance spokesperson who was born in one of the longest-standing refugee camps in the world formed after Tecber's country was occupied. We learnt of a connection between a number of different things: Phosphate, Fertiliser, Farming, Western Sahara, Morocco, and New Zealand. To find out more about phosphate fertiliser in New Zealand, we spoke to one of the three remaining companies, Ballance Agri-Nutrients, to buy phosphate from the disputed trade with Morocco. Then, Lillian spoke with Kamal Fadel, who is based in Australia, and a spokesperson for Polisario Front - Western Sahara’s independence movement. They discussed the legality of Morocco's invasion and continued occupation and the rights that exist for non-self-governing territories. From there we heard from two people here in Aotearoa with solutions as to how we could use less phosphate - and therefore not rely on a trade that extracts the resource from a country where human rights abuses are taking place. Find the links to these podcasts below. Today, we hear from Golriz Ghahrarman on what the government can do to stop the trade, if that is possible, what their obligations are on the international stage and the environmental implications of the trade.

This is Part V in a series, you can listen to the others here:

'Blood phosphate' at what cost? Part VI - what's in a chemical? The NZ Fertiliser Council on moving away from using phosphate: May 20, 2020

Lillian Hanly is looking into the importing of what has been called 'blood phospate' from Western Sahara, occupied by Morocco. There have been five parts broadcast already, this is the sixth. So, to recap a little:

Around 170,000 Saharawi people were forced out of their own land when Morocco invaded in 1975, today they live as refugees separated by a constructed wall and littered with mines. Western Sahara is rich in resources, and it is understood Morocco is taking advantage of this. One particular resource that is being mined without the consent of the Saharawi people is phosphate.

Australia, Canada, America - all have pulled out of this trade in the hope that the referendum, called for in 1991, can take place. So the Saharawi people can choose their independece. in Part IIII we hear from two different people in Aotearoa with solutions as to how we could use less phosphate - and therefore not rely on a trade that extracts the resource from a country where human rights abuses are taking place.

Anders Crofoot is the Chair of New Zealand’s Fertiliser Council. This Council oversees the quality of fertiliser, making sure the products farmers are buying are legit in terms of what they say they are. The Council was established after the government reduced regulation on this issue during the 80s. Lillian reached out to Anders wanting to get a perspective from farmers in relation to the phosphate issue she has been looking into regarding the Western Sahara. Lillian's key question is around whether we can move away from relying so much on phosphate generally, but also specifically from the Western Sahara. This is first and foremost due to the human rights concerns related but also due to the fact that phosphate is a finite resource. So what actually happens when it all runs out? How do we continue farming if we rely so much on this? Anders takes us through what the Fertiliser Council does and why phosphate is needed in the soil - but also on how we might not need to use so much.
