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.

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....

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.

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.

UN aid chief’s comments at the Security Council came as Israel dismissed warnings of famine in Gaza as ‘slanderous’.Mersiha Gadzo (Al Jazeera)
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.

Colonialism, starvation and resistance: How food is weaponized, from Gaza to Canada
The destruction of food systems in Gaza and Canada is part of a larger effort of land dispossession and capitalist accumulation. The fight for food sovereignty is about justice and self-determination.The Conversation

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.
