Bakeries in Gaza closing due to shortages

Several bakeries in Gaza have shut down due to a lack of flour and fuel, while the remaining are at risk of imminent closure.

Just seven of the 19 bakeries supported by humanitarian organisations in Gaza are still running, but they are on the verge of shutting down because they are running out of flour and fuel.

Hmm...lead and cadmium in our chocolate and continuing reports of listeria or e-coli in prepared/processed foods- the latest of e-coli in ORGANIC carrots!
Add water contaminated with microplastics and a little New Delhi air and the options don't look good.

Another Brexit fiasco.... British cheeses failed to get to the World Cheese Awards in Portugal as they failed to clear customs in time (now being from a non-EU country).

In the scale of the disasters of Brexit its not going to to be a big thing (although it will be for the frustrated cheese makers), but is emblematic of how myopic the Brexiters were about the impact of their successful plan to leave Europe....

Food system researchers have argued for decades that the UK's food system is dysfunctional is having a detrimental impact on our health.

New research has now put a figure on that damage: £268bn a year - made up of costs to the NHS, the costs of food-related illness & death and other welfare/benefits related costs.

Previous Govt.s however have been relatively reticent about trying to really constrain Big Food & nothings suggests Labour will be different.

How Israel has decimated local food production in Gaza

Before Israel launched its war on Gaza, about 42 percent of the Strip’s land was used for crops.

According to FAO,

Nearly 70 percent of cropland – which contributed up to one-third of daily consumption – has been destroyed.

More than 70 percent of olive trees and orchards have been burned to the ground.

About 95 percent of cattle and more than half of sheep and goat herds have died.

Soaring grocery prices and the changing environmetn

A reasonable warming (it was a misspelling of warning but I decided to keep it) - but I am bemused by the suggestion/plea that Economists need a solution. I think that economists are a big part of the problem, and their ‘group think’ exacerbates it.

Come the revolution who do you want to be the first up against the wall? And the second and….

I appear to have grown a mini pepper (or chilli maybe) without realising it, lol 😂 I tend to stick bits of leftover veg and seeds into pots and see if anything grows. Mini veg is what grew here 🙂

Dinner this evening was a meal of leftovers and scraps. It was so good that I’m going to have to engineer the leftovers and scraps so that we can have it again. ‘Bubble and squeak’ (mashed potatoes and cabbage), to which I’d added crumbled crispy smoked bacon and cheddar cheese, scrambled eggs and a couple more rashers of bacon on the side, and the last few squirts of okonomyaki sauce. Nom.

The Land Where Lemons Grow (Helena Attlee)

The author travels across Italy, exploring the history of various citrus fruits. I never knew citrus could be such a fascinating topic, but the book was an amazing read. From the connections of lemons to the Sicilian mafia, through the orange-throwing carnival of Ivrea, all the way to Renaissance hybrid citrus collections. 🍋 🍊

On artificial hunger


The waste of a staggering 1.3 billion tonnes of food per year is not only causing major economic losses but also wreaking significant harm on the natural resources that humanity relies upon to feed itself, says a new FAO report.

Food Wastage Footprint: Impacts on Natural Resources is the first study to analyze the impacts of global food wastage from an environmental perspective, looking specifically at its consequences for the climate, water and land use, and biodiversity.

Among its key findings: Each year, food that is produced but not eaten guzzles up a volume of water equivalent to the annual flow of Russia's Volga River and is responsible for adding 3.3 billion tonnes of greenhouse gases to the planet's atmosphere.

And beyond its environmental impacts, the direct economic consequences to producers of food wastage (excluding fish and seafood) run to the tune of $750 billion annually, FAO's report estimates.

"All of us - farmers and fishers; food processors and supermarkets; local and national governments; individual consumers -- must make changes at every link of the human food chain to prevent food wastage from happening in the first place, and re-use or recycle it when we can't," said FAO Director-General José Graziano da Silva.

"We simply cannot allow one-third of all the food we produce to go to waste or be lost because of inappropriate practices, when 870 million people go hungry every day," he added.
