Speak Up For The Ocean Blue
Everyone in the Tent: How Ocean Treaties Actually Get Made

Speak Up For The Ocean Blue

Holly Koehler has spent almost thirty years in rooms most people never think about: windowless UN offices in New York, the FAO in Rome, and what she calls "oftentimes very boring hotel ballrooms around the world," where countries hash out how the ocean actually gets managed. She's the Vice President of Policy and Outreach at the International Seafood Sustainability Foundation (ISSF), and before that she spent thirteen years at the U.S. State Department's Office of Marine Conservation, chairing international fisheries negotiations. In this episode, she walks Andrew through how a grad-school internship on sea turtles turned into a career built entirely around one question: how do you manage a species that ignores every border humans have drawn? Andrew and Holly cover what a Regional Fisheries Management Organization (RFMO) actually is and why nearly the entire ocean is already covered by one, why she says listening, not legal expertise, is the most important skill she's ever used at the negotiating table, and the story behind an all-night Thanksgiving session that produced a landmark UN resolution protecting deep-sea corals and seamounts from bottom trawling. Holly also explains why ISSF treats governance as being just as important as fishing practices, drawing a direct line from her anthropology background to her belief that governance is what civilization itself is built on, and breaks down exactly how ISSF's audits and public compliance data connect to the eco-labels shoppers see on a can of tuna. This is the episode the whole week has been building toward. If you've been following along with Monday through Thursday's solo episodes, you've already heard the RFMO explainer, the bottom-trawling story, and the High Seas Treaty history. Here, Holly connects all of it, in her own words, including a memorable detail that resolves a question left open earlier in the week: which UN resolution she was actually in the room for. Takeaways: International fisheries governance runs through treaty-based RFMOs that nearly every country with a stake in a fishery has legally bound itself to join and follow. The negotiating skill Holly says matters most isn't legal expertise, it's listening for what a country means behind what it says, since "where you stand depends on where you sit." The all-night Thanksgiving session that produced UN Resolution 61/105, the landmark bottom-trawling and seamount protections covered in this show's Tuesday companion episode, was chaired by Holly herself. Holly measures negotiating success by getting an agreement strong enough to matter while keeping every country that needs to ratify or implement it "inside the tent." ISSF doesn't certify fisheries itself. It builds the audited evidence trail, through annual company audits and public vessel compliance data, that feeds into the Marine Stewardship Council certification a shopper actually sees on a label.

Artificial intelligence is increasingly being used to support agriculture across Africa, helping farmers access weather, crop and market information. But the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) says better connectivity, reliable infrastructure, relevant data and digital skills are needed to ensure smallholder farmers can benefit from these technologies.Meshack Malo, FAO's Deputy Regional Representative for Africa, told UN News's Feissal Kirwa that fewer than 10 per cent of farmers are currently benefiting from digital agriculture services, with rural communities particularly affected by limited connectivity.

They also examine Kazakhstan's delicate balancing act between Russia and China, and why its energy resources, critical minerals, and trade routes make it increasingly important on the world stage.Also: Kaleigh discusses a warning from the FAO and World Food Programme about growing global food insecurity as El Niño adds to pressure on vulnerable countries.

Nouveau tour de vis dans la politique anti-immigration des États-Unis

Journal d'Haïti et des Amériques

Les États-Unis durcissent encore un peu plus leur politique migratoire. Après les arrestations devant les tribunaux où des migrants se rendaient pour répondre à une convocation pour étudier leur dossier, place désormais aux interpellations dans les aéroports. Plusieurs médias américains révèlent cette nouvelle manière de procéder de l'ICE, la police anti-immigration, nous explique Marine de La Moissonnière du service international de RFI. On savait que l'ICE intervenait dans les aéroports du pays, depuis quelques mois, pour arrêter des étrangers sous le coup d'une mesure d'expulsion. La nouveauté, c'est que la police anti-immigration interpelle désormais des gens dont le visa a expiré, mais qui ne sont pas sous le coup d'une obligation de quitter les États-Unis, y compris des personnes dont la procédure de renouvellement du visa est à l'étude. L'administration Trump fait également pression sur les étrangers en leur infligeant des amendes : 998 dollars par jour passé aux États-Unis sans papiers. C'est autorisé par la loi depuis 1996. Mais avant Donald Trump, jamais aucun président des États-Unis n'avait utilisé cette arme. Impossible de savoir combien de personnes ont préféré rentrer dans leur pays d'origine, faute de pouvoir payer. Enfin, Washington a annoncé hier (mardi 28 juillet 2026) une réforme de la procédure de demande d'asile qui est entrée en vigueur immédiatement. Désormais, les dossiers de certains demandeurs d'asile seront directement traités par un juge, parfois même sans les entendre. Auparavant, tous les demandeurs d'asile avaient un premier rendez-vous avec un agent des services de l'immigration, dans un bureau. Ce n'est qu'en cas de rejet de leur dossier qu'ils voyaient un juge qui pouvait ordonner leur renvoi des États-Unis. Présenté comme une simplification de la procédure, ce changement devrait surtout permettre d'accélérer l'expulsion de centaines de milliers de demandeurs d'asile.   Le difficile labeur des agriculteurs haïtiens Plus de la moitié de la population haïtienne se trouve en insécurité alimentaire aiguë, selon la FAO. Alors que près de la moitié des produits alimentaires consommés dans le pays sont importés et souvent trop chers, l'agriculture locale peine à se développer : elle emploie près de 60% de la population, mais ne représente que 20% du PIB d'Haïti. Elle est frappée durement par le changement climatique. Louise Jouveshomme a pu s'entretenir avec des agriculteurs qui lui ont raconté devoir faire face à des sécheresses et des inondations de plus en plus fréquentes. Ils dénoncent également le manque de soutien des pouvoirs publics. Un abandon qui remonte aux années 80 lorsque les grandes institutions monétaires, comme le FMI ou la Banque mondiale, conditionnent leur soutien économique à l'ouverture d'Haïti au commerce mondial. Pour tenter d'enrayer cette crise, il existe des initiatives locales comme celles lancées par le MPP, le Mouvement paysan papaye, basées sur l'entraide entre paysans et le respect de l'environnement. À écouter aussiLe programme alimentaire mondial au secours des agriculteurs haïtiens Recrudescence de la dengue au Honduras Près de la moitié de la population mondiale, soit environ 4 milliards de personnes, vit dans des zones où il existe un risque de transmission de la dengue, selon l'OMS.

Le ricostruzioni di Gaza dopo le offensive del 2008-09, del 2014 e del 2021 sono costate insieme dieci miliardi di dollari a valori attuali. Il conto della quarta, presentato il 23 luglio da Oxfam con il Palestine Economic Policy Research Institute e il Palestine Trade Centre, è di 71,4 miliardi in dieci anni. Sette volte le tre precedenti sommate. Quel salto misura vent'anni di ricostruzioni impedite. Ogni piano è rimasto soffocato dal blocco e dall'offensiva successiva, arrivata prima della fine dei lavori. Chi aspettava di rientrare in casa dopo il 2014 non ci è mai tornato: quelle case sono andate in cenere nel 2023. Il rapporto, costruito su stime di Nazioni Unite, Unione europea e Banca mondiale, calcola 57,9 miliardi di danni e perdite e stima lo sviluppo umano arretrato di 77 anni in meno di tre. Prima che apra un cantiere vanno rimossi 66 milioni di tonnellate di macerie. Lo stesso giorno l'IPC ha diffuso la nuova analisi alimentare, rilanciata da FAO, UNICEF e Programma alimentare mondiale. Il titolo che ha fatto il giro del mondo dice che la carestia è finita. Le pagine sotto contano 1,4 milioni di persone in crisi alimentare o peggio, il 67% della popolazione, e 74 mila bambini che entro l'aprile 2027 avranno bisogno di cure per malnutrizione acuta. Il programma che li nutre non raggiunge tutti e i fondi finiscono. Un solo valico aperto, Kerem Shalom. Oltre il 70% dei terreni agricoli resta inaccessibile, e il documento precisa che lo è a prescindere dai danni. Utilizzabile il 3%. Il mare resta vietato. Quanto si mangia a Gaza e quanto costerà rialzarla dipendono dalla stessa variabile: il permesso. Nel settembre 2025 la Commissione internazionale indipendente d'inchiesta delle Nazioni Unite ha concluso che Israele ha commesso un genocidio. Paolo Pezzati, portavoce per le crisi umanitarie di Oxfam Italia, nomina gli Stati che hanno armato o coperto quella distruzione, Italia compresa: «devono contribuire alla riparazione dei danni». #LaSveglia per La NotiziaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/la-sveglia-di-giulio-cavalli--3269492/support.

248. Probiotici: sopra 10 miliardi al giorno non cambia nulla, sotto 1 miliardo è acqua fresca, e c'è un metodo in 2 minuti per sapere se il tuo ceppo ha studi clinici reali — Prof. Lorenzo Morelli

Il Prof. Lorenzo Morelli è professore ordinario di Microbiologia Alimentare e fa parte del gruppo di lavoro FAO/OMS che nel 2001 ha scritto la definizione internazionale di probiotico — quella su cui si basa ogni etichetta che hai letto. Ha ottenuto il primo lattobacillo geneticamente modificato al mondo, ha collaborato con l'Istituto di Washington che lo stava battendo sul tempo, e ha viaggiato per la FAO in tutto il mondo portandosi dietro i suoi ceppi batterici di laboratorio come prevenzione intestinale. Conosce i probiotici dall'interno — nel senso letterale.Il tuo integratore da 450 miliardi di batteri non funziona meglio di uno da 10 miliardi. Non c'è nessuno studio che lo dimostri.→ La dose efficace di un probiotico è tra 1 e 10 miliardi di batteri vivi al giorno. Sotto un miliardo è acqua fresca. Sopra 10 miliardi il vantaggio aggiuntivo non è dimostrato da nessuna meta-analisi — è marketing. I batteri sono come affittuari in un hotel a cinque stelle già pieno: oltre una certa quantità, non entrano comunque→ Come verificare se il tuo probiotico ha studi clinici reali: prendi il nome del ceppo dalla confezione (quello lungo, con lettere e numeri dopo il nome della specie), cercalo su Google Scholar. Se non esce niente, qualche dubbio è lecito. Se escono decine di studi su quella specifica condizione per cui lo stai prendendo, sei sulla strada giusta→ Lo studio di Suez che circolava sui social — quello che diceva che i probiotici dopo antibiotici rallentano il recupero del microbiota — è stato ridimensionato dallo stesso autore su Nature Reviews Gastroenterology. Il probiotico non riequilibra il tuo microbiota originario: occupa il vuoto lasciato dall'antibiotico e impedisce ai patogeni di insediarsi. Meccanismo diverso, evidenze solide→ Il futuro: probiotici personalizzati per enterotipo (come i gruppi sanguigni, ma per il microbiota), somministrazione congiunta con antibiotici per aumentarne l'efficacia, e lattobacilli del lievito madre che sopravvivono al forno e ammazzano le muffe senza conservanti. Tutto già in fase di ricerca avanzataSe hai un probiotico in bagno e non sai se funziona davvero, questo episodio ti dà tre strumenti concreti per valutarlo da solo.

Ailleurs, des pêcheurs ont été arrêtés ou pris pour cible, et les zones de pêche sont désormais drastiquement réduites. Selon la FAO, le secteur de la pêche et de l'aquaculture a déjà perdu 6,3 millions de dollars depuis le début de la guerre.  De notre envoyée spéciale à Tyr, Amélie David Au Liban, le port de pêche de Tyr est calme en cette fin juin. Une majorité des pêcheurs sont à quai, réparant leurs filets et leurs bateaux, comme Maroun Khoury et son père. Pour eux, le cessez-le-feu n'a rien changé : « Honnêtement, la situation est un peu difficile pour les pêcheurs. Avant, il y avait des zones plus au sud où ils pouvaient aller pêcher. Maintenant… il y a seulement deux jours, par exemple, un bateau s'est rendu là-bas. Il est allé assez loin, mais ils ont été interrogés et contraints de s'arrêter. Désormais, nous sommes limités à des zones de pêche situées à proximité. » Chez les Khoury, on est pêcheur de père en fils. Mais Maroun, 19 ans, n'a jamais connu une mer aussi inaccessible. « Si vous divisez tout entre nous : chaque personne sur le bateau gagne autour de 10 dollars par jour. 10 dollars après avoir payé le diesel. La mer ne vous rend pas riche. Vous gagnez juste assez pour manger. » Sur le port, les bateaux sont plus nombreux que les hommes en mer. Autour d'un café, ceux qui ne sortent plus attendent des jours meilleurs. Seule une quarantaine d'entre eux continuent aujourd'hui à prendre la mer. Selon le vice-président du syndicat des pêcheurs du sud, Sami Rezze : « Maintenant, nous ne sommes pas autorisés à pêcher entre Ras al-Ain et Rashidieh (au sud de Tyr, près de la frontière avec Israël. Et les pêcheurs ne peuvent toujours pas pêcher 24 heures sur 24. Il y a des heures spéciales pendant lesquelles nous avons le droit de sortir. La zone de pêche s'étend sur environ trois kilomètres au sud de Tyr. » Aux restrictions imposées, semblables à celles en place pendant l'occupation par Israël du sud du Liban dans les années 1980, s'ajoutent les menaces et la peur : « Si un pêcheur dépasse la limite autorisée, les patrouilleurs israéliens ouvrent le feu sur lui. Les drones le repèrent immédiatement. Que sommes-nous censés faire ? Avant-hier encore, des patrouilleurs israéliens ont poursuivi un bateau de pêche jusqu'à Tyr, tout en tirant dans sa direction. Les drones sont présents tous les jours. Ils ne laissent jamais les pêcheurs tranquilles. Les petits drones de surveillance tournent constamment au-dessus de leurs têtes, suivant chacun de leurs mouvements. » Dans le café du port, les pêcheurs font passer le temps en jouant aux cartes. Pour Radwan, pêcheur depuis plus de 20 ans, la guerre n'est pas la seule menace. Surpêche, pêche à la dynamite, réchauffement de la Méditerranée... Les poissons se raréfient, déplore-t-il, et les causes sont nombreuses. Dans le port de Tyr, les filets continuent d'être réparés chaque matin. Mais tant que la guerre imposera ses frontières en mer, c'est surtout l'attente que les pêcheurs ramèneront dans leurs filets.

VOV1 - El Niño 2026 có thể trở thành một "cú sốc tổng hợp" đối với an ninh lương thực, nguồn nước và năng lượng của Châu Á.Không chỉ là một hiện tượng khí hậu theo chu kỳ, El Niño 2026 đang được các tổ chức quốc tế và giới khoa học cảnh báo có thể trở thành một "cú sốc tổng hợp" đối với an ninh lương thực, nguồn nước và năng lượng của Châu Á. Khi biến đổi khí hậu làm gia tăng cường độ các hiện tượng cực đoan, câu hỏi đặt ra không còn là El Niño có xảy ra hay không, mà là các quốc gia trong khu vực đã chuẩn bị đến đâu để ứng phó với những tác động kinh tế ngày càng sâu rộng."Cần chuẩn bị ngay từ bây giờ cho một đợt El Niño có khả năng mạnh". Đó là thông điệp được Tổ chức Khí tượng Thế giới (WMO) đưa ra trong bản cập nhật mới nhất về khí hậu toàn cầu. Theo WMO, xác suất El Niño hình thành trong giai đoạn từ tháng 6 đến tháng 8 năm 2026 là 80%, và tăng lên khoảng 90% trước tháng 11. Các mô hình dự báo cũng cho thấy hiện tượng này có thể phát triển với cường độ mạnh, dù mức độ chính xác sẽ được cập nhật trong các tháng tới.Điều khiến giới khoa học đặc biệt lo ngại là El Niño năm nay diễn ra trong bối cảnh Trái Đất đã ấm lên khoảng 1,3 độ C so với thời kỳ tiền công nghiệp. Điều đó đồng nghĩa, cùng một hiện tượng khí hậu nhưng tác động sẽ nghiêm trọng hơn, với các đợt nắng nóng gay gắt hơn, hạn hán kéo dài hơn và mưa cực đoan khó lường hơn. Ông Wilfran Moufouma Okia, Trưởng bộ phận Dự báo Khí hậu của WMO, nhận định: "Việc phân loại El Nino, dù mạnh hay yếu, không phải là điều thực sự quan trọng, bởi vì El Nino sẽ gây ra hậu quả bất cứ khi nào nó xảy ra. Tùy thuộc vào thời điểm, tùy thuộc vào mức độ dễ bị tổn thương của quốc gia, đó mới là điều quan trọng nhất. Chúng tôi cung cấp thông tin về hiện tượng El Nino và hy vọng thông tin đó sẽ giúp chuẩn bị ứng phó với mối đe dọa này."Dưới góc độ an ninh kinh tế các chuyên gia cho rằng, Châu Á được đánh giá là một trong những khu vực dễ tổn thương nhất. Thời tiết khô nóng đã bắt đầu ảnh hưởng đến hoạt động sản xuất nông nghiệp ở nhiều quốc gia châu Á. Từ các cánh đồng lúa tại Thái Lan, những vùng trồng cọ dầu của Indonesia cho tới các khu vực sản xuất ngũ cốc ở Australia, lượng mưa thấp hơn trung bình đang buộc nhiều nông dân phải điều chỉnh kế hoạch gieo trồng. Điều này làm gia tăng nguy cơ thiếu hụt nguồn cung và tạo áp lực tăng giá đối với lương thực toàn cầu. Bà Dunja Dujanovic, cán bộ cấp cao về cấp cứu và phục hồi chức năng, của FAO cho rằng: “El Nino ra những hiện tượng khí hậu cực đoan, gây ra những hậu quả lớn, đặc biệt là đối với nông nghiệp và an ninh lương thực, vốn phụ thuộc vào thời tiết . Vì vậy, chúng tôi rất lo ngại rằng điều này sẽ gây ra khủng hoảng lương thực trên quy mô đáng kể vào cuối năm nay và cả đầu năm 2027. Đó là chu kỳ tự nhiên của hiện tượng El Nino”Theo bà Dunja Dujanovic, hiện tượng El Nino mặc dù rất đáng lo ngại, nhưng cũng là một hiện tượng giúp dự đoán các yếu tố khí hậu dễ dàng hơn. “Dựa trên tất cả các mô hình lịch sử, chúng ta có thể dự đoán điều gì sẽ xảy ra ở khu vực nào trên thế giới. Ví dụ, ở Châu Á, chúng ta có thể tập trung vào các cây trồng chủ lực, chẳng hạn như phân phối các giống cây trồng có khả năng chống chịu tốt hơn với điều kiện khô hạn. Chúng ta có thể khôi phục hệ thống thủy lợi. Chúng ta có thể đảm bảo cung cấp nước, thức ăn và chăm sóc thú y cho vật nuôi  khi hạn hán xảy ra. Trong trường hợp lũ lụt, chúng ta có thể sửa chữa bờ sông, khơi thông các dòng chảy" -Bà Dunja Dujanovic cho hay.Trong một thế giới ngày càng chịu tác động của biến đổi khí hậu, El Niño không còn đơn thuần là một hiện tượng thời tiết lặp lại theo chu kỳ. Đó đang trở thành phép thử đối với năng lực quản trị, khả năng chống chịu của nền kinh tế và mức độ sẵn sàng của mỗi quốc gia trước những cú sốc khí hậu trong tương lai.Người  nông dân Indonesia ứng phó với hạn hán kéo dài do hiện tượng El Nino gây ra , tại huyện Cirebon, tỉnh Tây Java, Indonesia, tháng 6 năm 2026.

La peste des petits ruminants reste l'une des maladies animales les plus dévastatrices en Afrique. Avec un taux de mortalité pouvant atteindre 90 %, elle menace les moyens de subsistance de millions de petits éleveurs. Responsables politiques, organisations internationales et représentants des éleveurs appellent à une accélération des financements pour atteindre l'objectif d'éradication. De notre envoyé spécial à Brazzaville, La peste des petits ruminants, Jalo Buba la vit au quotidien. Le président de l'Association des petits éleveurs du Nigeria s'est rendu à Brazzaville pour porter un message aux bailleurs de fonds et aux décideurs. « Cette maladie a un très fort taux de mortalité. Nous, les éleveurs, perdons parfois tous nos animaux. Le message que je veux adresser aux bailleurs de fonds est simple : ils doivent investir massivement, non pas demain, mais maintenant », plaide-t-il. Le Tchad, l'un des principaux pays d'élevage de moutons en Afrique, subit lui aussi durement les conséquences de cette maladie. Son ministre de l'Élevage Abderahim Awat Atteib, qui préside également le comité consultatif africain pour l'éradication de la peste des petits ruminants, estime que les compétences existent déjà sur le terrain. « Les moyens humains existent. Les techniciens sont là, les cadres sont là, les experts sont là. Mais le seul moyen qui nous manque, c'est le moyen financier. Nous demandons à la Banque mondiale, à l'Union européenne, à la FAO et aux autres partenaires d'investir dans cette lutte contre la peste des petits ruminants », lance le ministre tchadien.

Pour y parvenir, la coordination des actions sera déterminante, souligne le Dr Ricarda Mondry, représentante de la FAO à Brazzaville : « Il est très important que les financements soient disponibles au même moment dans tous les pays. Si un pays agit une année et son voisin plusieurs années plus tard, les troupeaux se déplacent et la maladie peut être réintroduite. » Sur la question des financements, la représentante de l'Union européenne assure avoir déjà engagé des moyens importants : « Nous sommes déjà engagés dans un programme qui représente 8 millions d'euros de contribution européenne. Une deuxième phase est en préparation pour un montant de 40 millions d'euros. C'est une contribution significative », indique Anne Marchal.

The Strait of Hormuz crisis is disrupting global energy and fertilizer markets. For the hundreds of millions already living in extreme poverty, the effects could be severe. In this episode, Ben Davis, Director of FAO's Rural Transformation and Gender Equality Division, and Marco Knowles, Senior Policy Officer in the same division, make the case for social protection as a more effective response than the costly subsidies that governments are reaching for.   They challenge the idea that cash transfers are handouts, drawing on rigorous evidence showing that rural households invest them productively in agricultural inputs, education, and local economies. And they explain why targeted social assistance outperforms subsidies in both efficiency and reach.  Policy brief: The role of social protection in addressing the impacts of the 2026 conflict in the Middle East – Implications for poverty, food security and smallholder production https://doi.org/10.4060/cd9363en   0:00 Introduction 0:36 Why social protection is urgent now 2:54 Why social protection systems must exist before crises 6:47 Cash transfers are investments 11:37 Social protection vs subsidies 17:44 The politics of cash transfers 25:18 Lessons from COVID-19 28:36 How to finance social protection 31:26 What countries should do now 33:31 Social protection beyond shock response 36:01 Country examples 39:05 What success could look like in 10 years

Aquaculture has now surpassed 100 million tonnes of production, supplying more seafood to consumers than wild fisheries. But the most interesting story in the FAO's latest State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture report is not the milestone itself but where growth is happening. In this episode, we break down the major trends shaping global seafood production, consumption, and trade, including the continued rise of aquaculture, the growing importance of Asia and Africa, and why many of the industry's future opportunities may emerge far outside the regions that have traditionally dominated seafood discussions. We also examine what the report suggests about fisheries, future production growth, and the long-term forces reshaping the global seafood system. For more aquaculture insights head to our Fish n' Bits blog.

Ce lundi 15 juin, c'est la Journée mondiale contre la faim. Une journée instaurée par la FAO, l'Organisation des Nations unies pour l'alimentation et l'agriculture, et qui intervient dans un contexte de plus en plus préoccupant en Afrique. La baisse continue des financements internationaux, conjuguée à la coupe drastique de l'aide américaine, rend la lutte contre la faim et la malnutrition d'autant plus difficile que le changement climatique et les conflits régionaux s'accentuent. Kinday Samba, directrice régionale du Programme alimentaire mondial pour l'Afrique de l'Ouest et l'Afrique centrale (Tchad, RCA, Cameroun), est la grande invitée Afrique de ce lundi. RFI : Kinday Samba, pourriez-vous nous dresser un tableau général de la situation de la faim en Afrique de l'Ouest et en Afrique centrale ? Kinday Samba : La situation est très préoccupante. On peut déjà dire qu'on est dans une crise chronique qui est en train de devenir une crise beaucoup plus difficile à contenir, à cause de plusieurs facteurs qui s'accélèrent en même temps. On parle des conflits dans le Sahel, les chocs climatiques, les pressions économiques et les déplacements de populations. Les régions que je couvre abritent plus de 52 millions de personnes en situation d'insécurité alimentaire sévère, où l'instabilité et l'insécurité sont étroitement liées. Il y a un an, le PAM annonçait suspendre son aide alimentaire nutritionnelle vitale au Sahel central et au Nigeria, et ce, à cause d'un manque de financement urgent, avec deux millions de bénéficiaires directement impactés, notamment des réfugiés soudanais au Tchad, maliens en Mauritanie, ainsi que les populations vulnérables au Burkina Faso et au Niger. Un an plus tard, où en est la situation de ces aides dans ces zones ? La situation reste toujours difficile. On est toujours en train de vivre une contrainte financière qui n'a pas impacté que des activités nutritionnelles. Il y a d'autres activités qui ont été impactées. Si on parle concrètement pour cette année, on va réduire le nombre de personnes qui vont bénéficier des assistances. Par exemple, au Cameroun, plus de 500 000 personnes risquent de perdre l'accès à une assistance alimentaire et nutritionnelle. Au Mali aussi, on est contraint à une réduction de 25 % des bénéficiaires en 2026, comparé à 2025, et jusqu'à 55 % par rapport aux niveaux historiques récents. Et si on parle du Nigeria spécifiquement, nous ne pouvons aujourd'hui atteindre qu'une fraction des besoins. Nous prévoyons d'assister un peu moins d'un million de personnes dans un pays où plus de 34 millions de personnes sont en situation d'insécurité alimentaire. Le PAM estime d'ailleurs avoir besoin de 620 millions de dollars pour poursuivre l'apport de cette aide nutritionnelle. Est-ce que vous êtes encore loin de cet objectif ? Oui, on est loin de cet objectif. Parce que si on voit dans notre propre région pour cette année, on a besoin d'à peu près 1 milliard de dollars. Et, pour le moment, on n'a mobilisé que 25 % de cette somme. Donc, on est loin de ce chiffre. C'est une baisse globale qui se traduit en termes de nombre de personnes qu'on peut assister. Le PAM n'a pu assister que 7,6 millions de personnes dans le cadre de la réponse d'urgences en 2025. Donc, une partie importante a reçu des rations réduites. Aujourd'hui, ce que l'on observe dans le Sahel, c'est un véritable point de bascule. Donc, si on parle de 2026, le nombre de bénéficiaires prévus pour la réponse d'urgence a été revu à la baisse, passant de 6,9 millions en 2025 à 5,4 millions en 2026. Or, comme je l'ai dit, la région abrite plus de 52 millions de personnes en situation d'insécurité alimentaire. Un point de bascule, dîtes-vous, notamment dû à la coupe drastique de l'aide américaine qui affecte des programmes humanitaires dans le monde entier, dont les vôtres. Dans quelle proportion votre budget a-t-il diminué et comment vous êtes-vous réorganisé ? Ça ne concerne pas que les États-Unis. C'est une tendance beaucoup plus large. Avec une baisse globale des contributions au Sahel, les financements humanitaires ont chuté de près de 41 % en 2025, et certains pays ont été beaucoup plus affectés que d'autres. Donc, on a priorisé drastiquement nos opérations, allant jusqu'à ce que notre directrice exécutive finisse par décrire comme abandonner ceux qui ont faim pour nourrir les plus affamés. Donc, des analyses menées dans plusieurs pays montrent que les résultats sont préoccupants. Les ménages bénéficiant des rations complètes sont nettement mieux protégés contre la faim que ceux qui reçoivent des rations réduites. J'ai parlé du fait qu'on avait dû, pour certains, réduire nos rations. Donc, la priorisation s'est fortement renforcée et s'appuie davantage sur des données probantes, avec une concentration des ressources sur les populations les plus vulnérables, les plus à risque et les zones de plus fort impact. Voulez-vous dire qu'il y a un désintérêt de plus en plus croissant de la part des donateurs ? Oui, et depuis des années. Nous sommes à la mi-juin. C'est le début de la période de soudure dans de nombreuses régions que vous couvrez. Comment faites-vous face aux urgences durant cette période de soudure qui va durer trois mois ? Il y a des pays où le gouvernement – je peux citer la Mauritanie – couvre plus que 80 % des besoins, qui sont très, très importants. Donc, ça, c'est un des avantages de cette coupe de financement : les gouvernements sont en train de prendre davantage la responsabilité de répondre à ces situations.

This is the Man who Would be Khan.  While a first-year Russian student at West Point, then Major Mark Derber dropped an article from The Atlantic on my desk, Robert D. Kaplan's "The Man Who Would Be Khan". It changed my life. 20 years later, you get to hear my interview with the Man himself. COL (R) Tom Wilhelm shares his path from West Point (commissioned infantry in 1980) through a dual-track infantry/aviation start, declining the new Aviation Branch, and entering the FAO program in the mid-1980s as a Soviet/Russian FAO. Wilhelm recounts an extensive Cold War-era pipeline (FAO course, DLI Russian—joined fully by his wife—graduate school, a summer in Leningrad, and the US Army Russian Institute/Marshall Center), then FAO work with OSIA conducting arms-control inspections (Vienna Document, INF, CFE) and the Provide Hope humanitarian mission in Tajikistan amid civil war. He describes a “knife fight” to regain infantry key jobs during post–Cold War drawdowns, deployments in Macedonia and Bosnia, being imbedded with a Russian airborne brigade, a later Tajikistan attaché tour with family hardships and evacuation, Marshall Center faculty/FAO mentorship, Mongolia as dual-hatted defense attaché/security cooperation chief, an Afghanistan/Pakistan tour, retirement, and directing the Foreign Military Studies Office.

In this episode of The Work We Do, we speak with Lynnette Neufeld, Director of FAO's Food and Nutrition Division, about the complex realities behind today's nutrition challenges.  The conversation explores the double burden of malnutrition, where undernutrition and obesity can coexist within the same country, community, household or even individual. We also discuss why healthy diets costs more and the difficulties of advancing nutrition policies in contexts shaped by conflicting interests, commercial pressure and the need for stronger policy coherence.  Lynnette reflects on her years working on the evaluation of Mexico's landmark conditional cash transfer programme, the mentors and experiences in Latin America that shaped her path from young researcher to senior leader in international nutrition, and her vision for FAO's role in the nutrition agenda: helping shift the focus from simply feeding the world to enabling access to and consumption of healthy diets for all.  00:00 Evidence over interests 00:45 Intro 00:59 The double burden of malnutrition 04:44 Policy responses 08:20 Why unhealthy food is cheaper 12:54 Nutrition beyond health 14:41 Ultra-processed foods 19:08 Commercial pressure 22:39 The role of advertising 25:30 Governments, business and civil society 30:14 Healthy diets and misinformation 32:51 FAO's role in nutrition 39:02 Mexico's cash transfer programme 42:17 Evaluation and implementation 49:00 Latin America and mentorship 01:10 Healthy diets

FAO nchini Kenya inasema mradi huo wa miaka mitano uitwao FARM, unalenga kuimarisha uwekezaji katika mbinu mbadala na usimamizi endelevu wa kemikali hatari na plastiki kwenye sekta ya kilimo barani Afrika na Amerika ya Kusini. Tweet URLUkifadhiliwa na Fuko la Mazingira Duniani, GEF, mradi unafanya kazi na vikundi vya wataalamu wa kitaifa kutoka taasisi mbalimbali, kuangazia vipaumbele na changamoto za ndani ili kutengeneza mitaala ya mafunzo inayolinda mazingira. Ripoti ya mradi imebainisha kuwa matumizi ya viuatilifu yamekuwa na madhara makubwa kwa viumbe wanaosaidia uchavushaji wa mimea. Aidha, mabaki ya sumu hizi yanaweza kukaa kwenye udongo kwa zaidi ya miaka 30, jambo ambalo ni hatari sio tu kwa mazao ya chakula bali pia kwa afya za wakulima. Madhara ya matumizi kupita kiasiMatumizi yaliyopitiliza yamehusishwa na magonjwa ya saratani na matatizo ya mfumo wa mishipa ya fahamu, huku yakipunguza uwezo wa nchi kuuza mazao yao kwenye masoko ya kimataifa kutokana na viwango vya sumu kuzidi mipaka ya usalama wa chakula.  Afisa wa FAO, Oxana Perminova anasema, "plastiki na kemikali za kilimo ni jambo linalotia wasiwasi duniani kote. Suala hilo limekuwa katika ajenda za nchi nyingi. Kwa upande wa Kenya, tunaamini kuwa ushirikiano huu ambao umeanzishwa hapa na ambao kwa kweli unafanya kazi ya na unawaleta wadau wote pamoja utakuwa na manufaa makubwa kwa kanda hii. Hivyo nchi nyingine jirani zinaweza kuangalia mifano na bidhaa zitakazozalishwa ndani ya ushirikiano huu na kuzitumia mahususi kwa ajili ya kupunguza uchafuzi wa mazingira kutokana na kemikali na plastiki za kilimo na kuwalinda wakulima, hasa katika maeneo haya." Fahamu kuhusu madhara ya plastiki za vifungashioKuhusu plastiki za vifungashio vya pembejeo za kilimo, takwimu zinaonesha kuwa takriban tani 330,000 za plastiki hutumika kila mwaka kama vifungashio vya viuatilifu duniani kote. Inakadiriwa kuwa asilimia 35 ya plastiki hizi hazidhibitiwi ipasavyo, ambapo asilimia 10 huishia baharini na nyingine nyingi kubaki kwenye udongo. Grace Muchemi, ni Meneja Mkuu wa bodi ya kudhibiti bidhaa za viuatilifu, PCPB, nchini Kenya, anaeleza hatua zinazochukuliwa kuwa ni "tunapotazamia njia mbadala salama zaidi, tumekuwa tukipitia upya viuatilifu ili kuhakikisha viuatilifu vyenye hatari ndogo vinatumika ndani ya nchi. Pia, utoaji wa uelewa umefanyika ndani ya kaunti, na tunafanya kazi pamoja na mashirika mengine ya serikali na pia wadau wa maendeleo kutoa uelewa juu ya matumizi salama ya viuatilifu ili kuhakikisha chakula salama na pia kuwezesha biashara na nchi nyingine." Katika hatua muhimu ya kuleta usawa, mradi huu umehakikisha uwiano sawa wa washiriki wanaume na wanawake katika mafunzo yote yatakayotolewa.
