Food Returned To Gaza’s markets; Most People Can’t Afford To Eat

September 5, 2026 Tareq S. Hajjaj, Mondoweiss. Educate! Food, Gaza, Genocide, Inflation, Starvation

In a tent in Tal al-Hawa, west of Gaza City, 39-year-old Iman Abdel Karim, a mother of six, hands pieces of bread to her hungry children, some of whom are too young to have grown their teeth. Around her are a few empty cooking pots. At the entrance to the tent, the stove has not been lit either yesterday or today. Abdel Karim and her family live on a single meal a day, usually eaten around noon. When available, it comes from a communal kitchen. When there is no food from the kitchens, they eat bread alone. Sometimes they manage to get a meal from a neighboring tent, or they cook lentils – long among the cheapest foods in Gaza, though even lentil prices have risen beyond what some families can afford.

Climate Crisis Report Predicts Four Billion Dead By 2050

A new climate-focused campaign group, 4 Billion Dead, has launched in response to a buried report that its name could become reality. It urges people to wake up to our impending disaster of untold proportions. 4 Billion Dead takes its name from a 2025 report by the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries, in conjunction with the University of Exeter. Its superficially cheery-sounding name glosses over its worst predictions: Planetary Solvency – finding our balance with nature: Global risk management for human prosperity The report comes from professionals whose entire careers and profits are based on being able to accurately predict and “risk price” the future. It flew almost entirely under the radar.

Why It’s Time To De-Commodify Food

June 22, 2026 Gunnar Rundgren, Resilience. Strategize! Capitalism, Decommodify, Food, New Economy

The myth that the consumer is in command is an essential part of capitalist ideology. It portrays the market as a democratic institution which people can control by “voting with their wallets”. And, if markets are democratic, the best is to let markets take care of as much as possible – so the story goes. Regardless of the fact that some people have many more dollars in their wallet than others, it gives a totally distorted view of how markets work. Steve Jobs said “People don’t know what they want until you show it to them” and proved it with the iPhone.

Linking City And Countryside To Solve Food Insecurity

August 22, 2025 Anabel Peterman, Next City. Create! Farming, Food, Food Insecurity, Food Waste, Kentucky, Nonprofits

There’s more than enough food to go around, say food access organizers across landscapes. That’s hard to imagine in Kentucky, home to some of the lowest-income and food insecure counties nationwide. The true surplus becomes apparent when a dozen pallets of peaches are loaded in for the Hazel Green Food Project, stretching across the stockyard lot in rural Wolfe County. Someone hollers for volunteers to sort through the haul, so they don vests and plastic gloves and get to work. Good fruit will be sifted into bags and packed into a family’s car later that morning. The rest will become animal feed for local farmers. Drive an hour west, and the words ring equally true in the Commonwealth’s urban centers.

Food Prices And Stagnating Wages Weigh On US Residents

August 5, 2025 TeleSur, Orinoco Tribune. Educate! Food, Inflation, Poverty, Wages

New economic data and surveys reveal growing financial anxiety among US nationals, who are grappling with rising food prices and slowing wage growth. Nearly seven months after Donald Trump returned to the White House, the promised “golden age” has not materialized for most, according to polls. According to a recent Associated Press–NORC Center for Public Affairs Research survey, the vast majority of US adults feel stressed about food costs. This concern is particularly acute for low-income US residents, among whom 64% say grocery prices are one of their top sources of stress.

Reclaiming Traditional Foods For A Degrowth Food Future

January 26, 2025 Christiane Heisse and Sevgi Mutlu Sirakova, Resilience. Strategize! Capitalism, Degrowth, Fermentation, Food, Indigenous Knowledge

Crusty Bread, creamy cheese, bubbly kimchi or refreshing tepache – all cultures have fermented foods and beverages with their own traditions, language, and cultural heritage surrounding them. Fermentation, in this sense, is a living food culture that taps into ancient skills and traditional knowledge. But this knowledge is under attack. As capitalism continues its onslaught on rural, indigenous, communal, and non-commodified ways of life, traditional food practices are slowly dying out in the contexts in which they originally emerged.

BRICS Expands With Nine New Partner Countries

With its nine members and nine partners, BRICS now makes up roughly half of the global population and more than 41% of world GDP (PPP). The group is an economic powerhouse, including top producers of key commodities like oil, gas, grains, meat, and minerals. At the BRICS summit in Kazan, Russia in October 2024, 13 countries were invited to become BRICS partners, meaning they are on the path to full membership in the near future. Nine of these 13 nations accepted the invitation. The remaining four did not give a formal response as of the end of 2024. These were Algeria, Nigeria, Turkey/Türkiye, Vietnam.

Industrial Fishing Undermines World’s Greatest Carbon Sink

October 24, 2024 Sophie Kevany, DeSmog. Educate! Aquaculture, Big Ag, Carbon sequestration, Environment, Fishing, Food

Fish is often sold as the perfect climate-friendly dinner: highly nutritious and lower carbon than other forms of protein. But new research is increasingly bringing some of these eco marketing claims into question. In part, because industrial fishing – scientists and campaigners say – is weakening the ocean’s ability to act as a carbon sink. Over the last 60 years, the ocean, forests and other natural carbon sinks have absorbed over half of all man-made emissions, slowing down global warming. Yet, as temperatures rise, scientists warn such processes could be on the brink of collapse.
