Durabilité du système alimentaire de l’Union – Consultation publique

Durabilité du système alimentaire de l’Union – Consultation publique | MED-Amin network | Scoop.it

Dans le cadre du pacte vert pour l’Europe, la Commission européenne a adopté une stratégie globale «De la ferme à la table», qui reconnaît les liens forts entre des personnes en bonne santé, des sociétés en bonne santé et une planète en bonne santé, et vise à traiter de façon détaillée des difficultés que soulève la mise en place de systèmes alimentaires durables. Pour favoriser le passage à un système alimentaire durable, la stratégie «De la ferme à la table» a lancé de nombreuses actions, mais elle reconnaît que ces actions individuelles et sectorielles ne peuvent, ni seules ni en combinaison les unes avec les autres, garantir pleinement la cohérence des politiques à l’échelle européenne et nationale, intégrer la durabilité dans toutes les politiques liées à l’alimentation et renforcer la résilience des systèmes alimentaires. C’est pourquoi la stratégie «De la ferme à la table» annonçait une initiative en faveur d’une loi-cadre horizontale afin d’accélérer et de faciliter la transition vers la durabilité et de garantir que les aliments mis sur le marché de l’Union deviennent de plus en plus durables. Une telle intervention à l’échelle de l’Union vise à établir de nouvelles bases pour les futures politiques liées à l’alimentation en introduisant des objectifs et des principes de durabilité fondés sur une approche intégrée du système alimentaire. Dans le cadre de la préparation de cette initiative, la Commission lance donc un vaste processus de consultation visant à recueillir les avis et les contributions de toutes les parties prenantes.

FOOD Prices, Elections, and the Wagner Group in AFRICA

FOOD Prices, Elections, and the Wagner Group in AFRICA | MED-Amin network | Scoop.it
Despite its battlefield failures, Russia has dealt a surprising blow to an unexpected party: world food markets. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has upended the international order, triggered unprecedented Western sanctions, destabilized the global supply chain, and threatened energy markets. The invasion has also precipitated a dramatic increase in the price of food worldwide. Grain prices, including wheat, rice, and corn have risen 17.1 percent in March, contributing to food prices reaching an all-time high on the global market.[1]

Après une hausse historique au mois de mars suite à l’invasion de l’Ukraine, les cours des engrais azotés sont en baisse depuis début avril sous l'effet d'une demande internationale en net retrait. Conjugué à la baisse de la parité eurodollar et à la coupure des approvisionnements en gaz russe dans plusieurs pays d'Europe de l'Est, le retour de l'Inde aux affaires pourrait cependant changer la donne.

SPECIAL FOCUS The Impact of the War in Ukraine on Commodity Markets - The World Bank Group and Ukraine

SPECIAL FOCUS The Impact of the War in Ukraine on Commodity Markets - The World Bank Group and Ukraine | MED-Amin network | Scoop.it

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has been a major shock to commodity markets. The war has led to significant disruptions to the production and trade of commodities for which Russia and Ukraine are key exporters. Prices have risen sharply for all energy commodities and some food commodities, including wheat and oilseeds. This, in turn, has raised energy and food security concerns, especially for the poorest households. In response to price hikes, policymakers have often sought to provide relief to consumers via subsidies or lower taxes; however, these are generally ineffective remedies and may exacerbate supply shortages. Policymakers can better mitigate the impact of higher prices on low-income households through targeted measures, including cash transfers. Past commodity price shocks induced policy and market responses that led to increased sources of supply and, for oil price shocks, greater consumption efficiency and substitution away from oil. Over time, the recent spike in prices will likely once again spur more efficient energy consumption and a faster transition away from fossil fuels, particularly if supported by appropriate policy responses. Food production, at the global level, will also respond to changes in relative prices. However, the uncertainties for food supply availability stemming from the war are high, and low-income countries may have urgent needs for international assistance for a prolonged period.
