AMIS webinar: What will happen to Ukrainian grains? 19 Jul 2022 The inability of Ukraine to export from its Black Sea ports has sharply reduced grain shipments from one of the breadbaskets of the world, sending shockwaves through international food markets and sparking global food security concerns.
BERLIN, GERMANY — Severe water scarcity events are expected to impact up to 60% of the world’s wheat-growing areas by the end of the 21st century, according to a recently released strategy paper from the Wheat Initiative, a group of public and private entities engaged in wheat research.The group’s...
Luxor’s beauty is not just seen through the scale and grandeur of its ancient Egyptian monuments, but also through the eyes of its farmers. The splendor of its history continues to run in the veins of its people, as they carry inside their hearts boundless dreams to transform the city into the world’s next breadbasket.
This will be the first garden of peace realized in the headquarters of an international organization and for this the Association would like to thank the Executive Secretariat of CIHEAM and the Director of the Institute of Chania as well as all those who have collaborated and believed in the project.
Rising global temperatures are posing a threat not only to people and wildlife but plants as well. The question of why many plants succumb as the heat increases is now better understood, thanks to a team of scientists who have identified the mechanism in plant cells that regulates their immunity. It has long been known that increased temperatures compromises plants’ ability to make a defense hormone called salicylic acid, which boosts their immune system against invaders. However, how this defense mechanism works at the molecular level wasn’t well understood.
Ed eccoci di nuovo alle stime delle produzioni di grano duro in Italia. Visto che i dati ufficiali latitano in Italia siamo costretti ad organizzarci con il fai da te. Ho aggiornato tutto con le segnalazioni sinora pervenutemi ed ho tirato fuori la seconda stima ufficiale del blog, secondo una mia personale elaborazione dei dati.…
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions in food systems is becoming more challenging as food is increasingly consumed away from producer regions, highlighting the need to consider emissions embodied in trade in agricultural emissions accounting. To address this, our study explores recent trends in trade-adjusted agricultural emissions of food items at the global, regional, and national levels. We find that emissions are largely dependent on a country’s consumption patterns and their agricultural emission intensities relative to their trading partners’. The absolute differences between the production-based and trade-adjusted emissions accounting approaches are especially apparent for major agricultural exporters and importers and where ...
Un rapport publié par l'IPES Food en mai 2022 s'intéresse aux conséquence de la guerre en Ukraine sur la sécurité alimentaire mondiale. Quatre faiblesses structurelles, déjà identifiées lors de la crise de 2007-2008, restent d'actualité selon les auteurs : la dépendance aux importations alimentaires, notamment pour les pays africains ; le manque de transparence des marchés céréaliers sujets à la spéculation ; un défaut de diversité dans les systèmes et les modes de production ; la récurrence de chocs liés au climat, aux conflits et à la pauvreté. En matière de soutienà apporter aux pays fragilisés par ces phénomènes, les auteurs considèrent qu'il serait dangereux de chercher à augmenter la production au détriment de l'environnement. Ils font sept recommandations, comme la diversification de la production alimentaire, la réduction de la dépendance à l'égard des engrais et de l'énergie fossile, ou encore la constitution de stocks de céréales à l'échelle régionale.
The Centre for Food Policy at City, University of London is holding a webinar at which Dr Shu Wen Ng of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will discuss the options for pricing policies that increase the price of unhealthy beverages and foods (e.g., taxation, tariffs) or to decrease the price of healthier beverages and foods (e.g., subsidies, cash transfers) to improve diets.
The European Union's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has not halted farmland biodiversity loss. The CAP post-2023 has a new ‘‘Green Architecture,’’ including the new ‘‘Eco-scheme’’ instrument. How can this new Green Architecture help tackle the biodiversity crisis? Through 13 workshops and an online survey, over 300 experts from 23 European Member States addressed this question.
From experts’ contributions, key principles for success include preserving and restoring (semi)natural elements and extensive grasslands; improving spatial planning and landscape-scale implementation, including through collective actions; implementing result-based approaches; and improved knowledge exchange. To maximize the effectiveness of Eco-scheme for biodiversity, experts highlighted the need to prioritize evidence-based actions, allocate a sufficient budget for biodiversity, and incentivize management improvements through higher payment levels. Additionally, stronger coherence is needed among CAP instruments.

KYIV, UKRAINE — Ukraine said 16 ships have passed through an important mouth of the Danube River on July 12 as the country seeks to shake loose grain exports bottled up by Russia’s Black Sea blockade, Reuters reported, citing a government statement.“In the last four days, 16 ships have passed...
BEIRUT — On a hot July morning, Ali Samir Nabbouh stood for more than two hours outside a bakery in Beirut’s southern suburbs, desperately waiting for a bag of bread. The shop had not yet raised its shutters, and he jostled among a restless crowd all eager to be first served. “I had to feed Fatima and Sarah, my two daughters. I couldn’t miss my turn,” he said.
Depuis le 24 février 2022, la planète vit au rythme des conséquences de l’invasion russe en Ukraine. Des marchés ébranlés, à commencer par celui des céréales, le blé notamment, indispensable pour fabriquer du pain. Les effets sont puissants et dévastateurs sur les économies africaines, déjà fragilisées par le Covid-19, et sur des populations menacées par une nouvelle crise alimentaire majeure. À cela, s’ajoutent le coût du fret, les prix de l’énergie, l’inflation globale. Et la question des engrais, tout aussi indispensables aux productions agricoles.
Dans un contexte de tensions inédites (flambée du cours des matières premières, inflation, pouvoir d’achat…) qui creusent toujours plus la fracture sociale et alimentaire, comment continuer à mener les chantiers indispensables de la transition alimentaire ? Comment rendre cette alimentation accessible au plus grand nombre ?Cela passera-t-il par des compromis ou alors par un changement plus radical dans nos méthodes ? La transition alimentaire est-elle encore possible ?
La prochaine programmation (2023-2027) de la Politique agricole commune (PAC) se caractérise par une plus grande subsidiarité et davantage de latitude laissée aux États membres, dans la mise en œuvre des orientations européennes. Dans ce contexte, l'Institut Thünen d'études rurales a publié un document comparant les différents Plans stratégiques nationaux (PSN), qui décrivent la façon dont chaque pays entend décliner la PAC sur son territoire. L'analyse porte surtout sur la répartition de l'enveloppe financière selon les priorités.
Les auteurs constatent d'abord une grande hétérogénéité concernant l'éco-conditionnalité, non seulement parce que les règlements européens permettent aux États de choisir entre ...
Diversified cropping systems are a main pillar of agroecological practices, but their development is hindered by technological lock-in of agri-food systems around a few major crops. There are only a few examples where minor crops successfully developed and stabilized in a given agricultural region. The underlying change processes at play in these situations are not well known.
Highlights:
Crop diversification is hindered by technological lock-in around major crops.
Pathways of European farms that recently diversified their crops provide levers to further enable crop diversification.
Farmers' motivations to diversify are agronomic, economic or work-related; combined motivations lead to more diversity.
Outlets for diversification products strongly determine the level of external support and flexibility for farmers.
Supporting long-term crop diversification requires considering farmers' motivations to diversify.
