The MENA region is both a climate change hotspot and one of the world’s most gender unequal regions. As a result of gender inequality, women face disproportionate risks from climate change, but there are ways to transform these threats and turn them into opportunities.

We agree that Europe needs to keep farmers and their needs at the forefront. The only way to do that is to move towards a food system transformation based on sustainable agriculture that is rooted in agroecological principles, Sandra Uwera Murasa writes.

Optimism has begun to bloom for the 2024 winter wheat harvest, given the factors that have helped boost the U.S. wheat outlook. Despite the lower total planted area (January Winter Wheat and Canola Seedings report estimated winter wheat area down 6% to 13.9 Mha vs previous year), USDA’ outlook anticipates a 2% yield increase to 49.5 bu/acre (3.33 MT/hectare).

Algeria is set to become the world’s fifth largest buyer of soft wheat in 2024, as imports are projected to increase 11% compared to 2023, reaching 7.2 million tons. The need to resort to more imports is primarily due to water scarcity which has particularly impacted Algeria’s cereal production following a prolonged period of drought. Under its 2020-2024 Agriculture Roadmap, Algeria had set itself the goal of cutting as much as $2.5 billion from total annual food imports of around $10 billion in recent years. These plans, however, are being challenged by volatile rainfall patterns. To reduce the impact of drought on its food production systems, Algeria will need to focus on mechanization and economies of scale to increase annual agricultural yields.

L’insécurité alimentaire constitue un défi complexe, marqué par des inégalités grandissantes. En ce 21e siècle, les enjeux mondiaux tels que l’inflation, les conflits et les répercussions de la crise climatique impactent directement les systèmes alimentaires, compromettant l’accès des populations vulnérables à une alimentation adéquate et à la maîtrise de leur régime alimentaire. L’accélération du changement climatique perturbe la production alimentaire, tandis que les conflits géopolitiques et les guerres entraînent une augmentation des prix et une perturbation des chaînes de distribution alimentaire.

Local analysts continue to raise 2024/25 Russia’s wheat crop forecast amid persisting favorable weather conditions for winter wheat development.
Wheat harvest estimates now exceed the current year's figure of 92.8 million mt rising to 93.6 million mt, which would be the second-largest harvest in history after 2022, when 105 million mt were harvested.
The winter wheat harvest in 2024 is estimated at 67.7 million mt versus 63.8 million mt in 2023, while the spring wheat harvest is expected to be 25.9 million mt versus 28.9 million mt a year earlier.
Weather conditions for the new harvest have remained favorable over the past few months, resulting winter crop conditions that are above average for this period.
Weather models are forecasting mild temperatures in most winter cro

Over half a billion tons of grains, oilseeds, rice and pulses are transhipped annually via seaborne routes around the world. Owing to its solid reliability and cost efficiency, the maritime transportation of agricultural commodities has expanded over time, exerting increasing pressure on a small number of global ‘chokepoints’ – critical junctures with limited throughput capacity which accommodate exceptional volumes of trade flows.
Over the past several years, the functioning of some of the world’s major chokepoints has been negatively impacted by a number of climatic and geopolitical developments, the most recent examples being the drought-related restrictions on the Panama Canal, challenging river navigatio...

Food security and healthy ecosystems are placed in jeopardy by poor potassium management. Six actions may prevent declines in crop yield due to soil potassium deficiency, safeguard farmers from potash price volatility and address environmental concerns associated with potash mining. Unlike nitrogen and phosphorus, potassium has received little attention despite being key to food security and ecosystem health. This Perspective proposes six actions concerning potassium deficiency, potash price volatility and potash mining.

Alors que l’insécurité alimentaire restera probablement parmi les principales menaces à affronter en 2024, la Banque mondiale considère la sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle (a) comme l’un des huit défis mondiaux nécessitant une action à grande échelle. Elle a mobilisé 45 milliards de dollars de ressources pour s’y atteler et pour protéger les moyens de subsistance des populations à travers le monde, dépassant ainsi son engagement initial de 30 milliards de dollars annoncé en mai 2022.

En plein débat sur le mal-être des agriculteurs, auquel le gouvernement a répondu par un recul de certaines normes environnementales, un collectif d'une soixantaine de chercheurs publie un rapport inédit sur les bénéfices de la transition écologique pour l'agriculture. Celle-ci permettrait d'économiser près de 10 000 milliards de dollars par an dans le monde, et de revaloriser les conditions de vie des agriculteurs. Les principaux enseignements résumés dans une infographie.
