Malnourished children and desperate mothers: the healthcare facility on the frontline of Nigeria's hunger crisis Zuwaira Hanafi stood in shock as four doctors rushed past her to enter the ward where her eight-month-old daughter, Hambali, lay semiconscious. At the entrance to the healthcare facility in Kaita community in Nigeria’s northern Katsina state, medical personnel were using colour-coded tape to measure the diameter of children’s arms and determine their levels of malnutrition. A steady stream of mothers, some as young as 15, filtered through with children, many of them, like Hambali, arriving in a critical state. The children are victims of an unprecedented hunger crisis gripping vast swathes of Nigeria. The Red Cross has warned that up to 33 million Nigerians could face severe hunger this year, a record figure. According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, about 6.4 million Nigerian children are expected to be acutely malnourished by the end of 2026, the majority in the north. According to Dr Soma Bahonan, the head of the Nigeria mission at the Alliance for International Medical Action (Alima), which runs the Kaita facility alongside local officials, increasing numbers of mothers are also presenting with acute malnourishment. Alima also supports mobile clinics that can reach children whose families are unable to travel to...

FAO Chief Economist warns of severe global food security risks from disruption to Strait of Hormuz trade corridor - Food and Agricultur New York / Rome — The Chief Economist of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), Máximo Torero, warned that the ongoing disruption to the Strait of Hormuz trade corridor is triggering one of the most severe shocks to global commodity flows in recent years, with significant implications for food security, agricultural production, and global markets. Speaking at a United Nations daily press briefing, Torero highlighted that tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has collapsed by more than 90 percent within days of the escalation. The vital artery for global trade typically carries around 20 million barrels of oil per day—approximately 35 percent of global crude oil flows—alongside one-fifth of global liquefied natural gas (LNG) and up to 30 percent of internationally traded fertilizers. “This is not only an energy shock. It is a systematic shock affecting agrifood systems globally,” Torero said. He emphasized that the Gulf region accounts for nearly half of global sulfur trade, a critical input used to produce sulfuric acid for processing phosphate rock into fertilizers. Disruptions to sulfur supply risk fracturing global phosphate fertilizer production, including in major producing countries. Shipping constraints have been compounded by surging insurance costs. Following the...

New governance pathways for food security in the Near East and North Africa Food security has become a central policy concern across the Near East and North Africa (NENA). Population growth, limited natural resources, high import dependence, and exposure to global market shocks have pushed governments to treat food security as a strategic priority. Awareness is not the problem. Governance is. From my own perspective working on agrifood systems in the region, policy responses to food insecurity are often reactive. When food prices spike, governments intervene. When supply chains are disrupted, imports are secured. When poverty rises, subsidies are expanded. Necessary measures. But mostly short-term responses. Increasingly, I see that what remains largely missing is a structured governance framework capable of addressing agrifood systems as integrated systems throughout the region. Agrifood systems sit at the intersection of multiple policy domains: agriculture, trade, nutrition, water, health, and social protection. Yet these sectors rarely operate perfectly together. Agriculture ministries tend to focus on production. Health ministries deal with nutrition. Trade ministries manage imports. Social protection agencies distribute subsidies. Each policy works. But often in isolation. The consequences are familiar: overlapping policies, inefficiencies, and unintended outcomes. Subsidy systems designed to stabilize prices may improve food access but can also shape dietary patterns or distort markets. Health...

Kansas must act to protect food security Right now, the conversation around crop protection tools is dominated by fear rather than facts. Under the guise of health, wellness, and civic duty, special interest groups are trying to take American-made pesticides off the market by promoting misinformation and lobbing baseless legal attacks. They’re failing to see the full picture—and it’s time to correct the narrative. As a farmer, former Kansas treasurer, and former state representative, I’ve seen firsthand both the challenges of running a modern farm and the importance of sound, science-based policy. Crop protection tools are essential to keeping farms productive, supporting sustainable practices, and ensuring Americans continue to have access to the affordable and abundant food we rely on. Without these tools, the practices of farmers here in Kansas would be pushed back decades. We would be forced to rely more heavily on tillage—an outdated practice that damages soil health, undermining long-term productivity. Tillage breaks the living structures in soil apart, leaving soil loose and vulnerable. Over time, that damage makes it harder to grow resilient, high-quality crops at the scale Americans expect, resulting in lower yields. There is no stronger conservationist than the American farmer, and crop protection products are part of the stewardship toolkit...

Somali children are 'on the edge' as hunger spreads. UNICEF says Iran war has worsened the crisis DOLLOW, Somalia (AP) — The sound of a crying child is a sign of hope in a crowded displacement camp in southern Somalia — the most malnourished children are too weak to even cry. For the mothers in the Ladan camp in the town of Dollow, survival is the only thing on their minds — not the Iran war or how UNICEF gets the supplies to keep the place running. The displaced here have fled the drought that has ravaged swaths of this Horn of Africa nation after four failed rain seasons. Their crops and livestock devastated, they show up at the camp, often with nothing but their children. Aid workers at Ladan say the raging war in the Middle East — more than 3,000 kilometers (1,800 miles) away — has made their work harder, disrupting supplies and sending fuel costs soaring. Raising the alarm UNICEF says it has $15.7 million worth of lifesaving supplies — including therapeutic food, vaccines, and mosquito nets — in transit or being prepared for delivery to Somalia. But those shipments now are uncertain. Transport costs could rise by 30% to 60%, and even double on some routes, while delays caused by rerouting and backlog...

The power of poetry and how it raises both awareness and money to #endhunger fills me with gratitude every time. Thanks to all the poets who gave their poems and opened their wallets to fight #hunger.

I'm still waiting for Hungary to play Germany so we get the the #HUNGER game.

The global economy is set to contract by 2.9% due to the conflict sparked by the United States and Israel with Iran, which, according to the OECD, will push inflation up to 4%. Is there anyone who can stop these two kids from playing war?

Nature and biodiversity are critical to food security - and should be national priorities Nature and landscapes have long been exploited to win battles, protect strongholds, cut off retreats and slow military advances. More recently, nature has been weaponised at a temporary Ice detention facility in the Florida Everglades, dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz” because of the supposed impenetrability of the surrounding swamps, home to alligators and snakes. The detention facility is now embroiled in legal proceedings due to alleged damage to the very same natural resource that was exploited to sensationalise that campaign of detention. The centrality of nature and biodiversity to national security was made crystal clear in a UK government national security briefing on global biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and national security. National security assessments are conducted to identify strategic risks, threats and vulnerabilities that threaten national interests. For the first time, biodiversity loss and global ecosystem collapse were systematically assessed through a national security lens. [ Best way to fight biodiversity loss is with a change of mindsetOpens in new window ] Biodiversity experts have long known that ecosystems worldwide are seriously degraded and that biodiversity continues to be lost through over-use, pollution, inappropriate land and sea use, invasive species and climate change. What this national security assessment showed was the vulnerabilities...
