Sustained Food Insecurity in Timor-Leste SAN DIEGO, California — In Timor-Leste, food insecurity does not have one single reason but by a combination of interconnected challenges. While many families struggle to access enough nutritious food, the problem goes beyond availability. Climate-related shocks, limited sanitation infrastructure and gaps in policy coordination all play a role in shaping daily nutrition outcomes. As a result, many people—especially children and older adults—face ongoing hunger and undernutrition, with long-term consequences for health and development. What Drives Food Insecurity in Timor-Leste Limited food availability, alongside inadequate access to clean water and sanitation drive food insecurity in Timor-Leste. Many households, particularly in rural areas, rely on unsafe water sources and lack basic sanitation facilities, increasing exposure to bacteria and parasites. As a result, children are more likely to experience repeated infections such as diarrhea, which reduce the body’s ability to absorb essential nutrients. This cycle of infection and poor nutrient absorption contributes to malnutrition even when food is available. Over time, it increases the risk of anemia among women and impairs physical and cognitive development in children. Stunted growth in early childhood can have lifelong consequences, including lower educational attainment and reduced economic productivity, ultimately reinforcing cycles of poverty. Impact of Food...

Wayne Ganpat and Howard Batson | Gulf conflict reveals need for Low External Input Agriculture model for Caribbean food security There is every likelihood that if the current conflict in the Middle East persists, food prices will rise again! Higher costs associated with moving food for humans to the Western region is to be expected. However, to be added would be increased costs for importation of feed for livestock and restricted supplies of some key farming inputs. Fertilisers and pesticides, mainly, are going to have significant impact on regional food production. The present global disruptive event presently unfolding in the Gulf has the potential to further erode recent gains towards making the Caribbean region less food insecure. The costs and availability of food are major concerns that need to be addressed. Today it’s the Gulf War. What will be next year’s disruptive event? Recall some previous significant events: the temporary disruption as a result of the 911 World Trade Center bombing; severely restricted access by countries to grain at the start of the Ukraine-Russia conflict; and the near total shutdown of all maritime trade as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Added to these disruptive events are the overarching impacts of climate change which threatens all regional food production initiatives. Impacts are evident every year in the form of unusual...

UAEU launches smart mushroom farm to boost food security United Arab Emirates University (UAEU) has launched a Smart Mushroom House at its Al Foah Research Farm, aiming to support food security efforts and give students hands-on research experience. The new facility uses Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to help grow mushrooms in controlled conditions. It is part of the university’s wider work to support the UAE’s National Food Security Strategy 2051. Developed by a research team from the College of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine, the project focuses on turning date palm waste and other organic materials into useful growing substrates for mushrooms. Officials said the initiative supports sustainable farming in dry environments like the UAE, while also promoting the idea of recycling agricultural waste. The Smart Mushroom House allows researchers to control temperature, humidity, lighting and ventilation through smart systems. It includes three cultivation tents and a central incubator, which helps simulate different climate conditions. This setup allows multiple types of mushrooms to be grown at the same time under ideal conditions. The facility can handle up to 600 cultivation bags per cycle, producing around 20 to 30 per cent yield depending on the mushroom type. Current research focuses on several varieties, including oyster mushrooms, lion’s mane, turkey tail...

How U.S. Sanctions Are Causing Hunger in Cuba By Medea Benjamin, World BEYOND War, April 3, 2026 In Cuba today, food is rotting in the fields while families go hungry. On a recent trip to the eastern part of the island, I spoke with farmers who are watching their livelihoods slip away—not because they lack skill or dedication, but because they lack fuel, parts, and basic inputs. One farmer described fields ready to harvest but no diesel to bring the crops in. Others showed broken machinery they have no way to repair. Even those who have turned to animal traction are having problems with feed.These are not isolated stories; they reflect a system under siege. The U.S. fuel embargo, together with tightened sanctions under Trump, is strangling Cuba’s agricultural system from seed to table—making it harder and harder for Cubans to feed themselves. Cuban farmers have already been operating under severe constraints imposed by U.S. sanctions—struggling to obtain spare parts to repair tractors, access fertilizers and pesticides, or secure basic inputs like seeds. Machinery breaks down and sits idle for months because parts can’t be imported or paid for through normal banking channels. Add to that Hurricane Melissa, which struck Cuba in October 2025, flooding fertile farmland and...

A New York Tax Credit Would Pay Restaurants to Donate Meals. Advocates Say It Could Help Fight Food Insecurity and Support Local Businesses Every year, enormous quantities of perfectly edible food from New York’s restaurants and businesses end up in landfills. At the same time, more than two million New Yorkers struggle to put food on the table, a hunger rate that now exceeds early pandemic levels. For years, advocates have called this paradox inexcusable. Albany may finally be ready to do something about it. A proposal moving through the state legislature would offer restaurants a financial incentive to donate prepared meals to food pantries. Both the State Senate and the State Assembly have now included versions of the measure in their budget proposals, a meaningful signal of political support. But whether it actually becomes law will come down to the three-way budget negotiations currently underway between the Senate, the Assembly, and Governor Hochul. With the April 1 budget deadline approaching, the next two weeks are critical. What the Proposal Would Do Assembly Bill A9055A, sponsored by Assemblymember Charles D. Fall, and its Senate companion S8719, sponsored by Senator Michelle Hinchey, would create a state tax credit for food service establishments that donate prepared meals to community-based organizations like food pantries. The credit would cover 50 percent of each donated meal’s market value,...
