“A beacon of hope and relief”. This is how UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres described the agreement reached yesterday in Istanbul between Russia and Ukraine that paves the way for the export of Ukrainian grain.

The agreement signed today by Ukraine, the Russian Federation & Türkiye under UN auspices opens […]

Russian ships and sea mines block Ukrainian Black Sea ports. Before the war, Ukraine exported on average about 6 million tons of agri-commodities monthly to countries in the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. Currently, only about 15 to 20 percent of this volume can be exported via rail, Danube river, and trucks (about 700,000 tons in April 2022 and about 1 million tons in May 2022). Also, trade risks related to Russian exports have been increasing due to sanctions by […]
I know you’re aware of the Texas tragedy and, like me, saddened beyond words. Yes, there are times in all of our lives that make us take a few steps back and realize life is unpredictable and every day we’re given is a day to be thankful for. For me, hoeing the gardens, taking a walk along our old country road, and cooking helps bring life back into balance. What kind of food do we cook when things are off-kilter? […]
The current context of record food prices and increasing food insecurity has given new urgency to the role of trade in addressing the challenges we face today. Groups representing farmers, ranchers, food producers and exporters from Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, New Zealand, South Africa and the United States of America issued the following statement: “With record food prices and ever-increasing food insecurity, it would be unimaginable for the WTO to fail to deliver a substantial outcome on agriculture at […]
Rishi Nigam, CEO of Franklin Junction, the restaurant e-commerce growth platform that unlocks access for brands to untapped customer demand. getty It seems like only yesterday that delivery food was mostly limited to Chinese food and pizza. But in the years since 2017, as we’ve shifted to a digital-first mentality, food delivery has tripled in value and grown into a $150 billion global industry. In the U.S. market, food delivery more than doubled during Covid-19 alone. There was a huge […]
That worsening is the result of the war, but the underlying crisis is both larger and more structural — in the W.F.P.’s estimation, at least, the bulk of growth in that “acute food insecurity” category is the result of worsening conditions before the invasion. That’s mostly thanks to Covid-19, climate change and conflict — the “three C’s,” says the Cornell economist Chris Barrett, who specializes in agriculture and development and is the co-editor-in-chief of the journal Food Policy. “It used […]
Food insecurity has always been an issue for many low-income households, and making meals stretch between paychecks can be a harsh reality. That reality was only made worse by the COVID-19 pandemic. Here, we take a closer look at how some Ohio families accessed food assistance during the past three years and how those trends may be changing. The US Department of Agriculture defines food insecurity as “a household-level economic and social condition of limited or uncertain access to adequate […]
‘So how, exactly, does throwing away cauliflower leaves or a pack of squishy tomatoes contribute to global warming?” asks Lindsey Harrad in her new book, Living Plantfully. “The link is more direct than you might expect. Global food waste alone is responsible for 8-10% of all greenhouse gas emissions.” If food is wasted, so are all the resources that went into producing it, including the water and land use (including any potential deforestation), animal feed, fertilisers, pesticides, processing, packaging, transportation, […]
