VOV1 - Để ngăn chặn khai thác hải sản bất hợp pháp, cộng đồng quốc tế đã xây dựng nhiều cơ chế phối hợp. Ông Nguyễn Phú Quốc, Phó Cục trưởng Cục TS và Kiểm ngư và bà Nguyễn Thị Trang Nhung, nguyên Phó vụ trưởng Vụ Khoa học công nghệ và HTQT, TC Thủy sản (nay là Cục Thủy sản và Kiểm ngư) phân tích.Để ngăn chặn khai thác hải sản bất hợp pháp, không báo cáo và không theo quy định –gọi tắt là IUU – cộng đồng quốc tế đã xây dựng nhiều cơ chế phối hợp. Trong đó, Hiệp định về Biện pháp quốc gia có cảng, hay PSMA, do Tổ chức Lương thực và Nông nghiệp Liên Hợp Quốc (FAO) khởi xướng, được xem là một công cụ pháp lý quan trọng nhằm ngăn chặn thủy sản khai thác bất hợp pháp “lọt” vào các cảng biển.Việt Nam đã tham gia và từng bước triển khai các biện pháp quốc gia có cảng trong bối cảnh đang quyết liệt gỡ “thẻ vàng” IUU của Ủy ban châu Âu (EC). Vậy Hiệp định Biện pháp quốc gia có cảng mang lại ý nghĩa gì? Những thuận lợi, khó khăn trong quá trình thực thi? Và cơ quan quản lý cũng như các chuyên gia nhìn nhận ra sao?/.

In this special episode with Olivier De Schutter, UN Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights, we explore where global efforts stand today to combat poverty and how international actors can strengthen their support, particularly through a human-rights lens. The discussion brings what an effective path forward might look like in today's complex global context, and how poverty, as a deeply transversal issue, is interlinked with a myriad of other major themes requiring international and national attention. Our regular podcast episodes will take a short break in January 2026, but we will be back in February with exciting guests and new social protection topics. In the meantime, we leave you with our special TRANSFORM podcast series, which will feature two more episodes: one to be released later this month and the other in January. Stay tuned!   Meet our guests: Olivier De Schutter, UN Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights For our Quick Wins segment, we have Marco Knowles, Senior Social Protection Officer at FAO, talking about the latest publication on social protection for rural populations within green climate fund projects. We also discuss the latest development on COP30 in Belém and the advocacy efforts that have been made so far.

Animal Health as a Climate and Food Security SolutionIn this episode of the Ash Cloud podcast, we explore an often-overlooked opportunity in the fight against climate change with Dr. Nick Wheelhouse, Professor of Comparative Infectious Disease at Edinburgh Napier University and co-lead of the Global Research Alliance Animal Health and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Intensity Network.Dr. Wheelhouse brings unique expertise spanning both veterinary research and animal science. After completing his BSc in Agricultural Biochemistry and Nutrition at Newcastle University and PhD in Animal Science at the University of Aberdeen, he worked as a Senior Postdoctoral Scientist at the Moredun Research Institute before joining Edinburgh Napier University. His research focuses on bacterial pathogens affecting reproduction—particularly Chlamydia, Brucella, Coxiella burnetii, and Listeria—in both humans and livestock, with extensive work on disease surveillance across Africa.The central thesis challenges conventional thinking: while sick animals are universally recognized as unproductive, the climate implications remain surprisingly underexplored. Wheelhouse reveals that approximately 20% of global animal production is lost due to health issues, with higher burdens in the Global South. This represents not just wasted resources and food insecurity, but significant greenhouse gas emissions as animals continue producing emissions while failing to produce food.The conversation explores specific case studies, including ongoing work with Kenyan dairy farmers where 53% of animals show subclinical mastitis. For farmers earning approximately $70 per cow per year, the $10 treatment cost represents a substantial investment. Yet through basic hygiene and management interventions rather than expensive pharmaceutical solutions, the project aims to demonstrate tangible productivity improvements that make economic sense while delivering environmental co-benefits.Throughout the discussion, Wheelhouse unpacks the complexity of animal health as a climate solution. The counterintuitive reality is that healthier, more productive animals do produce more emissions, but they generate far more food per unit of emission. The goal is to close the productivity gap caused by disease, thereby reducing the emissions intensity of animal-source foods rather than absolute emissions. In Tanzania, research on abortion in livestock suggested potential emissions reductions of 8% in cattle and 16% in small ruminants, while hundreds of thousands could benefit from the additional food that would otherwise be lost.Wheelhouse is candid about the challenges: the complexity of measuring disease impacts, lack of robust data collection systems in many regions, and difficulty quantifying climate benefits from health interventions. These have kept animal health as a "slow burner" in climate discussions. However, he notes an encouraging shift following FAO reports that elevated the topic among international partners and potential investors.The discussion touches on broader implications, including research from Tanzania showing that increased livestock disease correlated with decreased school attendance for girls—demonstrating how animal health impacts cascade through communities beyond immediate productivity losses.Looking forward, Wheelhouse emphasizes disease prioritization must account for local contexts, since farming systems and solutions vary dramatically across regions. He advocates for starting with achievable interventions that farmers can see working among their peers, rather than waiting for perfect technological solutions. The key is empowering farmers with tools delivering tangible results worthy of their effort and investment.Ultimately, this conversation makes a compelling case for why animal healthSend us a text

Kia ora,Welcome to Monday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news long term global bond yields are rising.The coming week will be one dominated by the final central bank monetary policy decisions of the year. The big one, the one that will likely move markets, is the US one on Thursday NZT. Markets expect a -25 bps cut to 3.75%. There will also be central bank decisions from Canada (Thursday, no change expected), Switzerland (Friday, no change), Australia (Tuesday, no change), Brazil (Thursday, no change), and Turkey (Friday, -100 bps).This week will also feature China releasing a series of key November economic data including for exports (expected to be strong), CPI inflation (expected to rise marginally but stay very low), PPI (still in deflation). Monetary and debt data will also be closely watched. In Japan, it will be all about their Q3 GDP, PPI, and machine tool orders.In India, markets will focus on November inflation data.In Australia, apart from the expected no-change RBA decision, labour market data will likely show their jobless rate edging up, and business confidence surveys are expected to be broadly stable.At the end of last week bond markets kept pushing up long term yields. The rise of Japanese long bond yields has this market concerned. But that just comes on top of where US fiscal stability is heading.In the US, personal income data is in catch-up mode with September details released over the weekend. Income was up +1.9% from a year ago while personal expenditures were up +2.1% on the same basis. Their PCE version of inflation was +2.8% and rising. There are no real surprises in this now-old data.Meanwhile US consumer debt rose +2.2% or +US$9.2 bln in October, less than expected and less than the September rise. Revolving debt (like credit cards) rose at an annual rate of +4.9%. Non-revolving debt which includes car and student loans was up +1.2%.Earlier, the University of Michigan December consumer sentiment survey reported it didn't fall from November, posting a small, probably insignificant gain. That leaves it -28% lower than a year ago. Year-ahead inflation expectations decreased from 4.5% last month to 4.1% this month. Despite the nominal improvements, the overall levels across the board remain quite dismal for most consumers there.Canada reported payroll data for November over the weekend and rather than the expected -5000 dip, they got a +53,600 gain in overall employment. But unfortunately for them, all the gains were in part-time employment (+63,000) with full time jobs shrinking -9,400.This extended better-than-expected labour market report is one of the reasons the IMF's latest review of Canada was quite positive. They are impressed by how Canada is handling the attempted-trashing it has been getting from the US.In China, their foreign exchange reserves, already very large, climbed to US$3.346 tln in November and fractionally less than expected. It was the fourth straight month of increases, to the highest level since November 2015 and it happened even though the US dollar weakened. Meanwhile, the People's Bank of China continued to add to its gold holdings for the thirteenth consecutive month, with reserves edging up to 74.1 mln troy ounces in November and their value rose +4.5% in a month (in USD).In India, and as expected, their central bank cut its key repo rate by -25 bps to 5.25% at its Friday meeting. They claim confidence in a softer inflation outlook. The RBI has now cut rates by a total of -125 bps since the beginning of the year, bringing the repo rate to its lowest level since July 2022.In Japan, household personal spending fell unexpectedly in October, and quite hard. It was down -2.9% from a year ago, way different to the market expectations of a +1.0% rise, and reversing a +1.8% gain in September. It was the first decline since April. From September, personal spending fell -3.5%, and starkly different from the expected +0.7% rise.In Germany, factory orders rose +1.5% in October from September, better than the expected +0.5% gain but slowing from an upwardly revised 2.0% gain in the previous month. From a year ago, their factory orders are down -0.7% however. The latest data was boosted by a very large (+87%) jump in orders for large equipment like aircraft, ships, and trains. There was also a +12% rise in metal production and processing. In contrast, demand for electrical equipment fell -16%. These are all quite big moves with the overall change.Globally, the FAO says its Food Price Index declined for the third consecutive month in November, with all indices but cereals down. Dairy prices were down -1.6% from a year ago, down -11.5% from their June peak. Meat prices were up +5.0% from a year ago but down -2.7% from their recent September peak.It is probably worth noting that the Argentine wheat crop is going to be huge this year, one that will have global impacts. In Australia, the winter wheat crop will be the second largest ever too.Also worth noting is that Trump's boast to farmers that the Chinese will be back buying American soybeans in a major way was just fantasy. They have bought only minor volumes. Administration officials are now admitting there never was any agreement.And we should also probably note that the copper price is moving up sharply again, back toward its US-tariff-induced July heights.The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.14%, unchanged from this time Saturday, up +12 bps for the week. The price of gold will start today at US$4197/oz, and down -US$18 from Saturday, down -US$13 for the week. Silver is moving higher again, back at over US$58.50/oz and near its record high.American oil prices are holding at just over US$60/bbl, while the international Brent price is still at just under US$64/bbl, and up about +US$1 for the week.The Kiwi dollar is marginally higher from Saturday, now at just under 57.8 USc, up +50 bps for the week. Against the Aussie though we are unchanged at just on 87 AUc. Against the euro we are also unchanged at 49.6 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at 61.9, and little-changed from yesterday and from a week ago.The bitcoin price starts today at US$89,503 and up +0.7% from this time Saturday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been modest, at just on +/- 1.0%.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston. And we will do this again tomorrow.

La guerre a stoppé la production agricole dans certaines régions. Alors que la période de semis d'hiver vient de commencer, les autorités soudanaises, basées à Port Soudan et soutenues par la 'agence des Nations unies pour l'alimentation et l'agriculture (FAO), s'efforcent de la relancer. À environ 100 km au sud de Khartoum, le projet Gezira est l'un des plus grands projets d'irrigation au monde. S'étendant sur un million d'hectares, il regroupe certaines des terres les plus fertiles du pays, situées au confluent des fleuves du Nil blanc et du Nil bleu. Avant la guerre, cette région produisait plus de la moitié des céréales du pays, incluant blé, sorgho, millet, légumes, arachides et coton. Aujourd'hui, l'activité agricole est presque à l'arrêt. Les fermiers ont fui, et le matériel a été pillé. Tout doit être reconstruit, explique le professeur Timmo Gaasbeek, expert en sécurité alimentaire. « Le projet Gezira a été très affecté par les combats entre l'armée soudanaise et les forces paramilitaires. Tous les équipements ont été pillés par ces paramilitaires : les pompes pour l'irrigation, les tracteurs. Et cela va être difficile de remplacer cet équipement. Le pays n'a pas de dollar, et donc si vous n'avez pas d'argent, vous ne pouvez pas importer ce dont vous avez besoin. Et même si vous arrivez à planter, si vous n'avez pas d'engrais, la production sera faible. Les Soudanais sont en train de revenir, mais cela va être difficile de relancer la production. » Avec la guerre, la production agricole du Soudan a chuté drastiquement. Le pays est passé de six millions de tonnes de céréales par an à moins de trois millions. Certaines régions productrices, comme Kassala et Gedaref dans l'Est, ont été épargnées, tandis que d'autres comme Gezira et Sennar, dans le Sud-Est, ont été entièrement détruites. Les défis des petits producteurs La principale difficulté pour les petits producteurs est d'obtenir des crédits pour financer la reprise de leurs cultures. Hongjie Yang, directeur de la FAO au Soudan, explique les efforts en cours pour soutenir les agriculteurs. « Nous travaillons afin de soutenir les agriculteurs dans la plantation de la saison d'hiver, principalement des légumes. En tant qu'organisation technique, nous mobilisons les fonds pour soutenir ces agriculteurs, en leur fournissant des semences de bonne qualité et en remettant sur pied les infrastructures. Un des fermiers que j'ai rencontrés m'a expliqué qu'avant la guerre, ils utilisaient des pompes pour faire venir l'eau dans leurs champs. Aujourd'hui, ce matériel est cassé. Ils ont donc besoin d'aide pour acquérir des pompes, ils ont besoin d'électricité pour les faire fonctionner. Et s'il n'y a pas d'électricité, nous leur fournissons des panneaux solaires pour faire marcher ces pompes. » Le mois dernier, la FAO a également lancé un programme de vaccination du bétail pour relancer l'élevage. Le Soudan était autrefois le plus grand pays d'élevage et d'exportation de bétail d'Afrique de l'Est, avec plus de 100 millions de têtes de bétail, représentant plus de 20 % du PIB du pays.

Send us a text This episode pulls back the curtain on a NATO headquarters usually seen only through press releases. Marine officer and Foreign Area Officer Andres Caceres explains how honest analysis on Afghanistan, ISIS's rise, and Russia's moves toward Crimea collided with a staff culture that valued appearances over results—and what happened when he refused to go along.  Andres contrasts early command lessons—where clear standards cut alcohol incidents to zero in Japan—with a Joint Operations Center focused on tracking numbers instead of real effects. He outlines overlooked signs of the Afghan Army's fragility, how Maliki's repression helped ISIS reemerge, why Mosul fell so quickly, and the pre-Crimea indicators many ignored. His point is stark: when institutions avoid hard truths, surprise becomes inevitable.  The conversation's second half tackles the personal cost of speaking up. After asking for a fair reassignment aligned with his FAO role, Andres faced a complaint, a limited investigation, and pressure to accept punishment without full access to evidence. He describes selective witness lists, a suspended clearance, a late allegation that swayed a board, and a later letter admitting coercion. We also discuss altered medical records, downgraded PTSD diagnoses, and why due process must be real, not rhetorical.  For those focused on NATO accountability, leadership, and whistleblower protections, this episode offers practical reforms—from enforcing perjury penalties at boards to safeguarding medical documentation—and a reminder that integrity still matters.  If this resonates, subscribe, share, and leave a review with the one reform you'd prioritize.

Hii leo jaridani tunaangazia ripoti ya FAO ya uhaba wa chakula, Mwanaharakati kijana kutoka Kenya katika mkutano wa pili wa WSSD Doha, na mradi wa Mifereji ya Maji wa Jiji la Kampala (Kampala Capital City Drainage Master Plan) inayosaidia kupunguza mafuriko Uganda.Ripoti mpya ya pamoja kutoka mashirika mawili ya Umoja wa Mataifa lile la Chakula na Kilimo Duniani (FAO) na la Mpango wa Chakula Duniani (WFP) inaonya kwamba uhaba mkubwa wa chakula unazidi kuongezeka katika maeneo 16 yenye njaa duniani, hali inayoweza kusababisha mamilioni zaidi ya watu kukumbwa na njaa kali au hatari ya kufikia kiwango cha baa la njaa.Mkutano wa Pili wa Dunia wa Maendeleo ya Kijamii umefunga pazia mjini Doha, Qatar, mwishoni mwa wiki hii, ukiwaleta pamoja viongozi wa dunia, mashirika ya kiraia na vijana wakitoka na wito wa pamoja dhidi ya umasikini, ukosefu wa usawa na kutengwa kijamii. Kutoka Kenya, mwanaharakati kijana amesema mkutano huo umekuwa wa kuhamasisha akitoa wito wa hatua za haraka.Kituo cha utafiti wa kusaka Suluhu kuhusu mafuriko kinachoendeshwa na Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Mpango wa Maendeleo (UNDP) nchini Uganda kimetumia maarifa ya pamoja kukabiliana na changamoto za mafuriko katika eneo la Makerere Kavule, makazi yasiyo rasmi yaliyo pembezoni mwa mji wa Kampala, mji mkuu wa Uganda. Kituo hicho kimeunganisha juhudi za jamii, maarifa asilia, na teknolojia ya kisasa kubuni mfumo wa mifereji ya maji unaoendana na Mpango Mkuu wa Mifereji ya Maji wa Jiji la Kampala (Kampala Capital City Drainage Master Plan). Mfumo huu unalenga kupunguza mafuriko si tu katika jamii hiyo, bali pia katika eneo la katikati ya jiji.Mwenyeji wako ni Leah Mushi, karibu!

Dans cet extrait sonore, Ettore Lancellotti, spécialiste de la FAO, décrit l'ampleur des dégâts laissés par l'ouragan Melissa. Selon les évaluations rapides du ministère de l'Agriculture, appuyées par la FAO, les pertes représentent entre 30 et 60 % de la production, soit au moins 50 millions de dollars de pertes dans les zones les plus touchées.Dans le Grand Sud, le Nord-Ouest et l'Artibonite d'Haïti, le cyclone Melissa a provoqué une semaine de pluies intenses. Les sols ont été saturés, les rivières ont débordé, et la mer est remontée en plusieurs points. De larges parts de maïs, plantain et haricots ont été perdues. Les canaux d'irrigation et les pistes rurales ont été endommagés. Des centaines de nasses et filets de pêche ont été emportés, et des milliers de têtes de bétail ont péri.Même avant Melissa, Haïti comptait 5,7 millions de personnes en insécurité alimentaire aiguë, dont plus de la moitié dans les zones frappées.« Sans réponse rapide sur les moyens d'existence », avertit Ettore Lancellotti, « les ménages les plus vulnérables risquent de plonger plus profondément dans la crise ».Selon la FAO 1,45 million de personnes vivant de l'agriculture ont été gravement affectées. L'agence prévoit la distribution de kits d'appui à la production vivrière d'urgence, la réhabilitation des infrastructures rurales, et lance avec le ministère une enquête rapide pour mesurer précisément l'impact.(Extrait sonore : Ettore Lancellotti, spécialiste de la FAO en Haïti ; propos recueillis par Cristina Silveiro)

Is the diet being promoted to “save the planet” actually based on environmental data?In this eye-opening interview, Dr. Frank Mitloehner, air quality specialist and director of the CLEAR Center at UC Davis, unpacks the claims behind the EAT-Lancet 2.0 report, particularly the idea that cutting animal-sourced foods will drastically reduce environmental harm. Despite widespread media framing it as a climate solution, Dr. Mitloehner reveals that the Planetary Health Diet is not grounded in environmental science at all — a fact even confirmed in the report's own glossary.He also highlights a key finding from the UN's FAO: shifting to plant-based diets was ranked among the least effective ways to reduce livestock-related emissions, far behind solutions like improving animal health and increasing productivity.

In this episode, Xavier Basurto, a former guest of the show, joins Michael to interview Fikret Berkes and Nicole Franz. Fikret is Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the Natural Resources Institute of the University of Manitoba. He is a legend in the field of the commons and social-ecological systems, with some of his most well-known works included Sacred Ecology, Coasts for People, and Navigating Social-ecological Systems. Nicole is a Research Scholar at the Center for Ocean Solutions at Stanford University. She has over two decades of experience working in intergovernmental organizations, namely the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the International Fund for Agricultural Development in Rome as well as the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development in Paris Michael asks Nicole and Fikret's about their new edited book entitled Governing for transformation towards sustainable small-scale fisheries, which is open access and published by the FAO. The book was written in support of the FAO's Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries, and provides a human-centered, interdisciplinary approach to managing fisheries in a complex world. It addresses challenges like climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution, and privatization by advocating for a shift from top-down, single-species management to cooperative, adaptive governance systems that incorporate the knowledge and needs of resource users. During the interview, Michael and Xavier also take the time to discuss Fikret's long career as a key contributor to the literatures on the commons, social-ecological systems and small-scale fisheries governance.   References: FAO. 2015.

Dimanche (19 octobre 2025), la Bolivie basculera officiellement à droite. Le second tour de l'élection présidentielle verra s'affronter le conservateur Jorge Quiroga et le candidat de centre-droit Rodrigo Paz Pereria. Tous les deux ont beaucoup parlé pendant la campagne de la lutte contre le trafic de drogue qui augmente dans le pays depuis quelques années, promettant une approche musclée. Après 20 ans de politiques favorables aux cocaleros, le retour de la droite au pouvoir devrait marquer un vrai tournant dans un pays où la culture de coca est légale par endroits. Reportage de notre correspondant, Nils Sabin.   Départ de l'amiral américain chargé de superviser les frappes dans les Caraïbes Les États-Unis ont à nouveau bombardé ce jeudi (16 octobre) un navire qui, selon eux, transportait de la drogue, et naviguait dans les Caraïbes. C'est la sixième frappe de ce genre depuis début septembre 2025 et le déploiement de navires de guerre américains dans la zone, et pour la première fois, il y aurait des survivants, selon CBS, CNN et NBC. Cette stratégie agressive des États-Unis est loin de faire l'unanimité. L'amiral Alvin Holsey, commandant des forces américaines pour l'Amérique du Sud et l'Amérique centrale, quittera la Marine le 12 décembre. Il part au bout d'un an alors que normalement, on reste trois ans à ce poste, et alors qu'est en cours la plus grosse opération qu'il ait eue à gérer pendant ses 37 ans de carrière, relève le New York Times. C'est un «départ soudain et surprenant», renchérit le Washington Post. Alvin Holsey n'a pas justifié sa décision, mais d'après le New York Times, l'amiral n'est pas d'accord avec cette intervention dans les Caraïbes. Une intervention décidée par la Maison Blanche sans qu'il ne soit vraiment consulté et dont la légalité interroge, rappelle encore le quotidien. Pour de nombreux experts, Donald Trump n'a pas le droit de tuer des trafiquants de drogue présumés comme s'ils appartenaient à une armée ennemie. Il devrait les arrêter et les traduire en justice. Le journal souligne également qu'Alvin Holsey a rendu public son départ au lendemain de l'annonce par Donald Trump d'opérations clandestines de la CIA au Venezuela.   A. Holsey poussé vers la sortie ? Pour le Washington Post, Alvin Holsey ne serait pas parti de lui-même. Il aurait été poussé vers la sortie par Pete Hegseth qui voulait s'en débarrasser depuis un mois. Le ministre de la Défense estime que l'armée en a trop fait en matière d'inclusion et de diversité. Or, Alvin Holsey est noir. C'est même le premier Afro-Américain à occuper le poste de commandant des forces américaines pour l'Amérique du Sud et l'Amérique centrale, insiste le Miami Herald. Le New York Times, lui aussi, y voit un facteur d'explication : comme Alvin Holsey, une douzaine de hauts responsables militaires américains ont quitté l'armée depuis le retour de Donald Trump au pouvoir et la plupart d'entre eux étaient noirs, précise le journal. Ou bien des femmes, complète le Washington Post.   La vice-présidente vénézuélienne dément négocier avec Washington le départ de Nicolas Maduro «FAKE !!», a écrit Delcy Rodriguez sur Telegram après des révélations du Miami Herald qui affirme que la vice-présidente a offert aux États-Unis à deux reprises, en avril et en septembre, de remplacer le président vénézuélien. Des offres de services faites par l'intermédiaire du Qatar et avec l'accord de Nicolas Maduro. Delcy Rodriguez se serait présentée comme «une version adoucie du chavisme conçue pour permettre une transition sans rupture brutale et sans démanteler les structures fondamentales du régime», explique encore le Miami Herald.   Nouvelle flambée de choléra en Haïti Gazette Haïti a pu consulter une note officielle publiée le 15 octobre par le ministère de la Santé. Selon ce document, 112 cas suspects ont été recensés. 10 sont confirmés. Il y a déjà eu 2 décès et 43 personnes sont hospitalisées. «Après plusieurs mois de relative accalmie, la maladie refait surface dans plusieurs communes de la région métropolitaine de Port-au-Prince, notamment à Delmas, Cité-Soleil et Pétion-Ville, désormais placées en alerte rouge par les autorités sanitaires», explique Gazette Haïti. Le ministère de la Santé a lancé des actions, comme la désinfection de sources d'eau. Mais, écrit le journal, «cette résurgence du choléra rappelle la fragilité du système sanitaire haïtien face aux crises hydriques et environnementales, mais aussi la nécessité d'une mobilisation collective pour éviter une propagation à grande échelle.» Toujours la faim en Haïti Près de la moitié de la population haïtienne souffre de faim aiguë, tant dans les zones rurales que dans les villes. Pour remédier à cette situation, il faut non seulement une aide d'urgence mais aussi un soutien plus durable pour que les Haïtiens arrivent à préserver des moyens de se nourrir et à produire de meilleurs aliments. C'est le message de la FAO, l'organisation des Nations unies pour l'alimentation et l'agriculture. Alice Froussard a interviewé son représentant en Haïti, Pierre Vauthier.   Le Chili à la conquête de l'IA Après Chat GPT ou Gemini aux US, Deepseek en Chine ou encore Mistral en France, il y aura peut-être bientôt Latam GPT. Le Chili qui espère se faire une place dans le secteur crucial de l'intelligence artificielle générative, multiplie les projets et investit dans des infrastructures. C'est un reportage de Naïla Derroisné.   Le journal de la 1ère Construire un avenir différent à condition de le faire ensemble. C'est l'appel lancé ce jeudi (16 octobre 2025) par le président de l'Association Martiniquaise pour la promotion de l'industrie.

Hii leo jaridani tunakuletea mada kwa kina inayoangazia siku ya chakula duniani ikienda sambamba na maadhimisho ya miaka 80 ya kuanzishwa shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Chakula na Kilimo, FAO, na utamsikia Mwakilishi wa FAO nchini Tanzania Bi. Nyabenyi Tito Tipo akieleza.Maadhimisho ya siku ya chakula duniani yamefanyika kimataifa leo huko Roma nchini Italia, yakienda sambamba na sikukuu ya miaka 80 tangu kuanzishwa kwa Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Chakula na kilimo, FAO. Katika ujumbe wake alioutoa kwa njia ya video Katibu Mkuu wa Umoja wa Mataifa António Guterres amesema, “Miaka themanini iliyopita, katika dunia iliyosambaratishwa kwa vita, nchi zilikutana kukabiliana na njaa. Miongo kadhaa tangu wakati huo, dunia imepiga hatua kubwa. Lakini bado majanga yanyoonesha kuwa hatuwezi kubweteka iwapo tunataka kuendeleza mafanikio tuliyopata. Tuna mbinu, ufahamu, rasilimali za kutokomeza njaa, na kupatia kila mtu chakula kizuri na chenye afya. Tunachohitaji ni umoja.Huko Gaza, eneo la Palestina linalokaliwa na Israeli, raia wamerejea kufuatia makubaliano ya sitisho la mapigano lakini wanahaha kujenga upya makazi yao huku wakiwa wamezingirwa na vifusi. Miongoni mwao Ayman Awadallah, amesema “hakuna maji, hakuna miundombinu ya majitaka, hakuna maisha hapa, hakuna chochote.”Na kufuatia kifo cha aliyewahi kuwa Waziri Mkuu wa Kenya Raila Odinga, kilichotokea Jumatano Oktoba 15 nchini India, Umoja wa Mataifa kupitia Katibu Mkuu umetuma salamu za rambirambi na kusema hayati Odinga, alikuwa mtu muhimu katika maendeleo ya kidemokrasia nchini Kenya na  pia mtetezi thabiti wa mageuzi ya kikatiba na utawala jumuishi.Na katika kujifunza Kiswahili hii leo, mtaalam wetu Onni Sigalla, Mhariri mwandamizi wa Baraza la Kiswahili la Taifa nchini Tanzania, BAKITA anafafanua maana za neno "KIMWA"Mwenyeji wako ni Flora Nducha, karibu!

غذا چیست؟ غذا یعنی زندگی، یعنی خاطره، ریشه، سرزمین و دانش نیاکان ما. غذا یک حق است، نه یک امتیاز. هشتاد سال پیش، جهان وعده داد که برویاند، به اشتراک بگذارد، جوامع را سیر کند و زندگی بهتری بسازد. امسال، در روز جهانی غذا، ۱۶ اکتبر، بیایید همه باهم دست به دست قدم برداریم. افتخار کنیم، بکاریم، آینده بهتری را برداشت کنیم، تا هیچ‌کسی را پشت سر نگذاریم. برای کسب اطلاعات بیشتر به ویب‌سایت [www.fao.org](http://www.fao.org) مراجعه کنید.

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1======a==============================================DEVOCIÓN   MATUTINA PARA ADULTOS 2025“CON JESÚS HOY”Narrado por: Exyomara AvilaDesde: Bogotá, ColombiaUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church ===================|| www.drministries.org ||===================06 de OctubreQue no se pierda nada«Y cuando se saciaron, dijo a sus discípulos: "Recoged los pedazos que sobraron, para que no se pierda nada". Recogieron, pues, y llenaron doce cestas de pedazos que de los cinco panes de cebada sobraron a los que habían comido» (Juan 6: 11-13).La Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas consideró en fecha relativamente reciente designar el día 29 de septiembre como Día Internacional de concienciación sobre la Pérdida y el Desperdicio de Alimentos, en respuesta a las peticiones formuladas por la FAO. La razón evidente es que sin una educación para una dieta saludable y para una gestión solidaria de los recursos alimenticios de que disponemos, no podemos esperar poner fin a la malnutrición.Dicho en otras palabras, no erradicaremos el hambre en el mundo a menos que reduzcamos las pérdidas de alimentos y seamos más solidarios con los más pobres. Al destacar «el daño causado por la pérdida y el desperdicio de alimentos, las Naciones Unidas han dado un paso decisivo para promover sistemas alimentarios más justos, ecológicos y eficientes», ha asegurado María Helena Semedo, directora general adjunta de la FAO para el Clima y los Recursos Naturales.Según estimaciones de la FAO, cada año se pierden cerca del 40 % de los cultivos alimentarios del mundo por diversas causas, entre las que se destacan los efectos negativos del cambio climático, la mala gestión global de los recursos y, sobre todo, la insolidaridad humana disfrazada de política económica de los mayores productores y clientes. Una mayor concienciación sobre la pérdida y el desperdicio de alimentos debería bastar para ir reduciendo la pobreza, aumentar la seguridad alimentaria, fomentar el desarrollo económico de los países más pobres y proteger el medio ambiente.Tras el milagro de la alimentación de una gran multitud, Jesús ordena explícitamente a sus discípulos que recojan todos los pedazos sobrantes «para que nada se pierda». Con esta orden nos da un ejemplo claro y permanente sobre la gestión de nuestros recursos en un mundo donde las desigualdades entre los que derrochan y los que pasan hambre son inaceptables. Especialmente para los creyentes.Con su ejemplo, Jesús nos enseña que desperdiciar alimentos que otros necesitan, dilapidar recursos que seres humanos como nosotros necesitarían para sobrevivir, malgastar de modo irresponsable lo que podrían ser bendiciones para los más pobres, no es cristiano.Señor, abre mis ojos para que vea claramente qué puedo hoy compartir con quienes no disfrutan de tantos privilegios como yo.

Cuando la gente lo supo, lo siguió; y él los recibió, les hablaba del reino de Dios y sanaba a los que necesitaban ser curados. Pero el día comenzaba a declinar. Acercándose los doce, le dijeron: "Despide a la gente, para que vayan a las aldeas y campos de alrededor y se alojen y encuentren alimentos, porque aquí estamos en lugar desierto". Él les dijo: "Dadles vosotros de comer"» (Luc. 9: 10-13).En su impresionante libro El imperio de la vergüenza, Jean Ziegler, destacado economista suizo, demuestra con datos verificables que para acabar con el hambre en el mundo bastaría con quererlo de veras. Hoy nuestro planeta dispone de medios para alimentar dignamente a toda la población mundial y, sin embargo, nunca hubo tantas víctimas innecesarias del hambre, la desigualdad y la injusticia.Todo por la insolidaridad, la voluntad de dominio y la avaricia ilimitadas de unos pocos países empeñados en ser cada vez más poderosos, de algunas sociedades multinacionales que solo buscan ganar cada vez más dinero sin otras consideraciones, y de unos cuantos millonarios cuya codicia jamás parece saciarse. En gran parte como resultado directo o colateral de las políticas económicas de esos países, de esas compañías y de esos magnates, según el informe World Food Report de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Agricultura y la Alimentación (FAO) en 2019 unos 113 millones de personas sufrieron hambruna crónica y severa en 53 países.Lo más triste es que la voluntad de lucro de unos pocos parece estar ganando la partida a todos los esfuerzos de buena voluntad de la comunidad internacional unida, con inclusión de las iniciativas de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas, las ayudas para el desarrollo de muchos gobiernos, el trabajo colosal de numerosas ONG o la ayuda social de unos cuantos filántropos y de ciertas iglesias.Los cristianos no podemos permanecer indiferentes ante esta situación. Las palabras que Jesús pronunció en las afueras de Betsaida hace casi dos mil años, «Dadles vosotros de comer», siguen interpelando a todos los hombres y mujeres de buena voluntad. Por supuesto que ninguno de nosotros está personalmente obligado a resolver el problema del hambre en el mundo. Pero cada uno de nosotros será responsable ante Dios y ante sus hijos que sufren por lo que hayamos hecho con nuestros recursos en respuesta a su orden: «Dadles vosotros de comer».Señor, dame hoy el amor y el valor de hacer mi parte.
