In Egypt, recent shortfalls in the wheat supply from Russia and Ukraine have necessitated substantial increases in domestic production. As agricultural practices influence the yield of bread wheat, we assessed current production strategies in the wheat-based systems of Egypt and investigated their effects on wheat productivity in four study areas in the Nile Delta. We used a multi-stage random sampling technique to select 246 wheat-producing farmers and applied structured questionnaires to assess farming practices and crop performance attributes. Data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics, analysis of variances, and multiple regression models. Wheat farmers were on average 56 years old with about 30 years of farming experience. Land holdings were rather small, with an average of 1.05 hectares and a ...

Senegalese eaters consume an astounding 8 million baguettes per day. In 2022, Senegal imported more than 800,000 tons of wheat to meet demand. The country has imported most of its wheat from Russia in recent years, and the Russian war against Ukraine has made wheat and other commodity crop prices uncertain. But there is a growing movement to incorporate local, traditional crops into breadmaking to help reduce Senegal’s reliance on imports—and promote food sovereignty for West Africa.

Les routes des paysages culturels alimentaires. La revue Pour consacre un dossier aux circuits assurant la notoriété de paysages et de patrimoines, en organisant l’acheminement de produits alimentaires (comme les « routes de la soie ») ou la traversée de territoires par les touristes. Des articles sur le cacao dans la période préhispanique, l’olivier et l’huile d’olive en Méditerranée, ou encore les vins de Porto et la fraise égyptienne, abordent les dynamiques de mondialisation des circuits commerciaux et les enjeux géopolitiques. D’autres contributions éclairent l’histoire des « hauts lieux » et des « étapes » sur ces parcours, avec par exemple la structuration du réseau des restaurants routiers ou le voyage en train.

e 10 mai 2023, le ministère malien de l'Agriculture a mis en ligne un communiqué très positif sur la récolte de céréales en 2023-2024. Cette saison encore, elle devrait battre celle de l'année précédente (de 6 % exactement), « sous l'effet d'une expansion des superficies plantées, d'une météorologie favorable et d'une distribution améliorée des engrais aux producteurs ». Le Mali exporte désormais 10 à 15 % de ses céréales vers les pays voisins. En décembre 2022, le gouvernement a même décidé de les bloquer dans l'espoir de ralentir la hausse des prix en interne !

The government is unlikely to follow in the footsteps of some European countries which have intervened to control prices of staple foods to mitigate inflation.
Instead, the government injected the strongest financial aid where it hit the hardest and where it mattered the most – in fuel and electricity prices, Finance Minister Clyde Caruana told Times of Malta.

Global food security is a worldwide concern. Food insecurity is a significant threat to poverty and hunger eradication goals. Agriculture is one of the focal points in the global policy agenda. Increases in agricultural productivity through the incorporation of technological advances or expansion of cultivable land areas have been pushed forward. However, production growth has slowed in many parts of the world due to various endemic challenges, such as decreased investment in agricultural research, lack of infrastructure in rural areas, and increasing water scarcity. Climate change adversities in agriculture and food security are increasing. Recently, the COVID-19 pandemic has ...

Feeding the world depends on protecting our valuable ecosystems and biodiversity. Currently, increasing public awareness of the problems posed by the current industrialized food system has resulted in increased support for the creative market for economically, socially, and ecologically sustainable food production systems and enhanced demands for variations in agricultural policies and regulations. In food production, the restoration and protection of ecosystems and sustainable food systems must be given priority, which requires a forward-looking rational management strategy and fundamental changes in patterns and practices of economic development, product, and production. Food systems should ...
