The Mediterranean is a biodiversity hotspot under threat. For the 1st time in the UN Climate Conference history, the COP27 will host a Mediterranean Pavilion to raise awareness on a region often overlooked in climate negotiations.
The International Center for Advanced Mediterranean Agronomic Studies (CIHEAM) will be present at the Mediterranean Pavilion of the COP27 to recall that no other sector is more dependent and impacted by the evolution of the environment, climate and access to water than agriculture.

The revised Healthy Purchase Index (r-HPI): a validated tool for exploring the nutritional quality of household food purchases

The revised Healthy Purchase Index (r-HPI): a validated tool for exploring the nutritional quality of household food purchases | MED-Amin network | Scoop.it

Background The Healthy Purchase Index (HPI) assesses the nutritional quality of food purchases (FP) from food group expenditure shares only. However, it was developed from the FP of a disadvantaged population. Objective To adapt and validate the HPI for a general population. Methods FP were obtained from a representative sample of French households (Kantar WorldPanel) subdivided into two subsamples. The first sample (n = 4375) was used to adapt and validate the score; the second sample (n = 2188) was used to test external validity. The revised-HPI (r-HPI) includes 2 subscores: the diversity subscore and the quality subscore. Diversity subscore points were awarded when expenditure shares were above the 25th percentile for 5 food groups (“Fruits”, “Vegetables”, “Starches”, “Dairy”, “Meat, Fish and Eggs”). We showed the validity of the r-HPI in a large sample of French households. As it does not require food quantity or nutrient content, it can be used as a valuable tool to explore FP behaviours. Cut-offs can be used in health promotion to provide nutri-economic counselling.

TUNISIANS face empty supermarket shelves amid subsidised food shortages | MED-Amin network | Scoop.it

Tunisian shops and supermarkets are struggling with massive shortages of basic food supplies such as cooking oil, sugar, coffee and bottled water.
Most of the goods running short are state-subsidised, which analysts say highlights the growing dysfunction in the state-administered purchasing and distribution of food. They also say there is a growing black market in subsidised goods.

In the Middle East and North Africa, harvesting of wheat finalized last month under mixed conditions due to persistent dryness throughout the season. Conditions are favourable for maize and rice crops in Egypt and rice crops in Iran. In East Africa, harvesting of main season cereals is complete or nearing completion in the south. Poor to failure crop conditions have resulted in parts of Kenya, Somalia, Uganda, and the United Republic of Tanzania for main season cereals, and persistent dryness continues to impact main season crops still under development in many areas. In the north, crops are in vegetative stage, and flooding is causing concern in parts of South Sudan, Sudan, and Yemen ...

SME Survey: Rising Prices, Increased Cost Of Inputs, and Lack of Finance Raise Danger for GLOBAL FOOD SYSTEMS | MED-Amin network | Scoop.it

Food is becoming much more expensive. Ukraine, Russia, and Belarus are collectively major producers of wheat, maize, sunflower oil, natural gas, and fertilizers, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine has jeopardized that production and exportation. This has interacted with climate shocks and the lingering impacts of the pandemic on supply chains to result in alarming increases in food prices.

As she shopped at a market in the northeastern Ben Arous governorate, Zainab, who declined to share her full name, told Al-Monitor, “Prices have skyrocketed. Most basic commodities that we use on a daily basis have run out. We can’t find sugar, tea, coffee, flour and other such items.”

AMIS Market Monitor September 2022

The partial re-opening of Ukraine's Black Sea ports relieved pressure from global food markets before weather-related concerns started dominating market sentiment in the second half of August. Wheat markets, in particular, eased, driven also by improved production prospects in main exporting countries, while abundant global ending stocks helped to keep rice prices in check. By contrast, supply expectations dampened for maize.

Focus will soon turn to the southern hemisphere where plantings for maize and soybeans will begin amid considerable uncertainty about future commodity and input prices. Fertilizer markets remain particularly volatile, especially in Europe where tight natural gas supplies and high prices caused many producers of urea and ammonia to stop operation. Next season's plantings and fertilizer application rates could thus be adversely affected.
