At the 50th session of @UN_CFS and @WFPChief said in video message how #hunger levels are rising globally. They've had to cut food aid rations around the world and choose to feed "the starving" instead of "the hungry".
@UN_CFS @WFPChief If rising cost of fertilisers' is not resolved in the next month or two, food production next year will be affected, warned @MaximoTorero, chief economist of @FAO. #foodsystems #CFS50 #hunger #farming #agriculture
There are a few things governments can do to improve the situation, but there are tradeoffs, say @MaximoTorero at #CFS50

1. I was sitting with a friend in bank. He is the deputy director of the branch. An old lady (Bas Bibi, a 63 year old women) entered his office and offered a card to my friend to check whether her retirement rights are added to her account. My friend checked it and said, “there

Steigende #Lebensmittelpreise und mehr #Hunger in Nordafrika und dem Nahen Osten durch #Kornkrieg. Die Lösung der Agrarindustrie: Mehr Getreideanbau in Deutschland – auch auf Flächen für Klima- und Artenschutz. Das ist 1. kontraproduktiv und 2. nicht notwendig. Ein Thread (1/4)
Für Ernährungssicherheit brauchen wir funktionierende Ökosysteme. Durch die #Klimakrise und den Verlust der Artenvielfalt werden #Ernteausfälle häufiger und heftiger, vor allem in Ländern des globalen Südens. Deshalb ist Naturschutz kein Luxus, sondern lebensnotwendig. (2/4)
Wir bauen nicht zu wenig an, sondern setzen die Ernte falsch ein: Essbare Pflanzen werden als #Biosprit und #Tierfutter verwendet. In 🇩🇪wurde z.B. zuletzt in einem Jahr 1/3 der deutschen Weizenernte an Schweine und Co. verfüttert – das ist Nahrung, die für Menschen fehlt. (3/4)

.@Cold_Peace_: What stands out for #Indiaat75 is that it is a stabilising actor. It is fairly remarkable that #India has risen quickly. In stark contrast to China's position, India is treating other countries with respect and has been a friend of the #West.

"Even with the government subsidies, people in #Egypt, #Tunisia, #Syria, #Algeria and #Morocco spend between 35 and 55 per cent of their income on #food. They’re living on the edge: small price rises bring #poverty and #hunger."

"Just before the pandemic, in 2019, American non-financial corporations made about a trillion dollars a year in profit, give or take. This amount had remained constant since 2012. But in 2021, these same firms made about $1.73 trillion a year. ...
... That means that for every American man, woman and child in the US, corporate America used to make about $3,081, but today makes about $5,207. That’s an increase of $2,126 per person. ...
The last mistake that EU zionist bitches are forcing #Finland to make, is only to absurdly #provoke its neighbor Russia.

#SupremeCourt is hearing a plea filed by social activists Anun Dhawan, Ishann Dhawan and Kunjana Singh, seeking subsidised canteens in all states and UTs to ensure food security in the wake of the havoc wreaked by the pandemic #hunger
CJI: We had noted last time that state govt has to take responsibility to put up kitchens etc and until then centre cant do anything. we had asked for a meeting to be convened so that a comprehensive scheme can be drawn up and areas like jharkhand, bihar can be identified
CJI: So far the finances are concerned you can decided what finance state and centre will give and how much foodgrains centre. this is it and i am not going to law or other details. A common scheme has to be evolved.
#Doyouknow Maternal and Child malnutrition are among the current top risk factors for the global burden of disease and account for about one quarter of global deaths. #WHO #GlobalMalnutrition #FAO #ChildMalnutrition #ph260720
more than 50% of Under-5 deaths are preventable and majority of which are attributed to Malnutrition. Child malnutrition is still the greatest nutrition related health burden at global level. .#Under5Mortality #ChildMalnutrition #ph260720
Apart from being a major cause of Under5 mortality, malnutrition in childhood has far reaching repercussions #WHO #ChildMalnutrition #ph260720

Few people will dispute that global food systems need transformation, but this #UNFSS is instead an effort by a powerful alliance of multinational corporations, philanthropies, and export-oriented countries to subvert multilateral institutions of food #governance.

(1/6) 931 Millionen Tonnen #Lebensmittel landeten 2019 weltweit laut des neuen UN-Berichts zu #Lebensmittelverschwendung in der #Mülltonne. Damit werden 17 % der global produzierten Lebensmittel nicht konsumiert. Der größte Teil wird durch #privateHaushalte verschwendet (61 %).
(2/6) Zugleich leiden Millionen von Menschen täglich #Hunger. Es wird geschätzt, dass 8-10 % der globalen #Treibhausgasemissionen durch #Lebensmittel entstehen, die gar nicht konsumiert werden. Eines der UN-Ziele ist es, die #ProKopfVerschwendung bis 2030 zu halbieren.
(3/6) Die positiven Effekte wären vielfältig sowohl für #Mensch als auch #Umwelt: eine verbesserte #Lebensmittelsicherheit, weniger #Treibhausgasemissionen, Entlastung von #Land, #Wasser und Abfallmanagementsystemen, besserer Schutz der #Biodiversität und monetäre Einsparungen.

What can we learn from the 'global land rush' about the risks of large-scale land-based carbon removal in climate mitigation strategies?

700Mha sounds a lot, & it is.
From 2000-2016 - during the 'global land rush' - @Land_Matrix documented contracted large-scale land deals covering c. 25Mha
That period tells us a lot about the risks of large-scale reliance on land for carbon removals

It was driven by financial #speculation, #biofuels policies and weak land tenure #rights, & has been associated with widespread dispossession, increasing land #inequality & #hunger
No surprise biofuels crops - palm oil, jatropha, sugar cane - accounted for the biggest land area

"COVID19 has not only been a public health crisis, but it has also generated a hunger crisis. The virus is new, but it has been predictably harshest on marginalised people. In fact, the world was falling behind on realising the right to food even before the current pandemic." /2
"Even with new vaccines, it will be some time before the global #health situation stabilises & it will be at least a decade before the world recovers economically. Meanwhile, Member States and international orgs have not yet come together to tackle the looming hunger crisis." /3
This hunger index has little or nothing to do with hunger. Read blogs at dravirmani.blogspot.com/p/blog-page_25… to find out why:
2/hung When I last researched it >10 yrs ago, hunger was <2% of popukstion, poverty was 25-30% of pop & "child malnutrition", caused by dirty water & open sewers, was 35-40%. Hunger index mixes such things together to produce a meaningless index which has little to do with hunger

Dietary-related ill-health and mental illness cost Australia around $200 bn every year.
With COVID-19 and the climate emergency, these costs will rise and more will experience #hunger and #foodinsecurity. In a country as wealthy as #Australia, there is no excuse for this.

"In the name of economic growth, we've sacrificed #ecosystems, and we've exhausted the women and men in the economy, by subjecting them to huge pressure from the #globalisation of competition and the deregulation of labour markets." - IPES-Food's Olivier De Schutter @DeSchutterO
"We must think of a different kind of #development: one that does not see economic growth as a precondition for everything else," IPES-Food co-chair @DeSchutterO tells @thinink.
