Bonn, June 12: Sena Alouka from Togo, Peter Triloff from Germany and Ana Romero of Mexico have one thing in common - they all have to deal with farmers who can no longer cope with climate change.
Alouka grew up in a village called Tsiko, on the banks of river Wuto in northern Togo. By the time he became a teenager, his parents did not have a job any more. They were the traditional water carriers of the village, but the river had dried up.
"Our months are named after seasons, but now they mean nothing," Alouka told IANS. "The rains come at different times, no one knows when to sow. You cannot live like that.
