In reality, 99 percent of the 9.7 billion land animals raised for food in the US every year live in brutish conditions on factory farms, where they’re mutilated without pain relief, crammed together in warehouses, and forced to wallow in their own waste. Many are drugged up on antibiotics to survive these conditions, and they’ve been bred to grow bigger, faster, and pump out more eggs and milk, all to the detriment of their welfare. Global commitments for this decade add up to a cut in emissions of carbon and other greenhouse gases of just 11 percent, well below the cuts of between 25 percent and 50 percent needed to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius by 2050, IMF research shows.
Die omvang van Suid-Afrika se water-en-sanitasie-probleme het hierdie week skerp onder the soeklig gekom met die vrystelling van drie belangrike verslae van die Departement van Water en Sanitasie (DWS): Blue drop (water), Green drop (sanitêre afval) en No drop (beter regulasie en waterbesparing). Die waterverslag wys dat sedert 2014, toe 44 watervoorsieners Blue drop-status ontvang het, vanjaar net 26 die sertifikate bekom het. Vyftien Wes-Kaapse munisipaliteite (of drie persent) het Blue drop-sertifikate ontvang, veel meer as die drie elk van Gauteng en KwaZulu-Natal. Geen ander munisipaliteite het vir ’n Blue drop-sertifikaat gekwalifiseer nie, insluitende in die Oos-Kaap met twee van die grootste stede. Die jongste verslag wys ook dat byna die helfte van munisipaliteite landswyd nie oor basiese maandelikse verbruiksyfers beskik nie. Die verslae raam dat gemiddeld 47 persent van munisipale water in Suid-Afrika tans verlore gaan as sogenaamde “non-revenue water” as gevolg van lekkende pype, onbetroubare (of selfs geen) watermeters, onwettige aansluitings, en onvoldoende inkomste-invordering. Nog meer skokkend: Sommige munisipaliteite het geen gekwalifiseerde wateringenieurs in diens nie. Die Green drop-verslag bevind dat 64 persent van die land se riool-en-afvalwatersuiweringswerke “hoë of kritieke” risiko loop om onbehandelde water in riviere en die omgewing te stort.
Suid-Afrikaanse boere ly onder die EU wat voet by stuk hou oor sy swartvlekregulasies. Ander belangrike uitvoermarkte soos Amerika wat Suid-Afrikaanse sitrus ontvang, het nie swartvlek op hul lys van siektes en plae nie, wat vereis dat ingevoerde vrugte eers onder kwarantyn geplaas moet word voor dit ’n land binnekom. Justin Chadwick, uitvoerende hoof van die Suid-Afrikaanse Sitruskwekersvereniging (SKV), sê Suid-Afrika het die Internasionale konvensie vir plantbeskerming (IPPC) onderteken. Al die lede van die Wêreldhandelsorganisasie (WHO), onder meer die EU, het dit volgens hom ook onderteken. “Baie is al geskryf en gedebatteer oor Suid-Afrika se sitrusuitvoer na die EU. Plaaslike produsente en die EU het die reg om seker te maak dat hulle beskerm is onder die IPPC.
Africa is facing a food crisis the likes of which it has never experienced before, with 282 million people undernourished, and a sharp increase expected next year, the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) said in a new report. This effectively means the continent is far off track to achieve "zero hunger for 2030", a Sustainable Development Goal (SDG2). At this stage, the report said, there was no chance for the continent to also achieve the 2025 target for the Malabo Declaration of ending hunger and all forms of malnutrition by 2025. "About 868 million people were moderately or severely food-insecure, and more than one-third of them — 342 million people — were severely food-insecure," the report said.

The Blue Drop report is perhaps the most damning, as it indicated that almost half of the country's drinking water is of poor quality. In 2014, 44 water supply systems received the Blue Drop status, while only 26 could meet the criteria in 2023. This represents a negative trend of nearly 41% over a period of 9 years. READ MORE
From January through September, Earth’s average global surface air temperature was about 1.1 degrees Celsius (nearly 2 degrees Fahrenheit) higher than the 20th century average of 14.1° C (57.5° F). June, July, August, September and October were each the hottest ever recorded for those months — and September was hotter than an average July from 2001 to 2010. The year isn’t out yet, but temperatures so far suggest 2023 has a greater than 99 percent chance of being the hottest year on record, according to the U.S. National Centers for Environmental Information.

Suid Afrika gaan by die dag agteruit -rowers, diewe, moordenaars voer 'n skrikbewind- Die barbare skrik vir niks en vernietig ons land se inwoners en hulle vryheid. Kersfees 2023 is voor die deur en sekere van ons land se inwoners is vasgevang in die gees van koop, eet, drink en kuier- en vakansie hou. Urelange gesprekke oor die toekoms van Suid Afrika asook die gebeure van die dag word elke dag gevoer op radio, televisie en die verslaafde sosiale media- maar jy moet mooi kyk om te sien wat verander na al die gesprekke deur al die slim manne. Ons mense sit by die huise en kyk op Televisie hoe die daaglikse gebeure soos 'n sepie voor hulle afspeel- Dis was lankal tyd van moue op te rol en werk en ons land skoonmaak van die mense wat ons lewens versuur en ons gemeenskappe afbreek en vernietig. En ons land se landbouers sorg nog elke dag dat kos is vir almal en ook vir barbare.
Ons landbouers is nog steeds die prooi van nuttelose barbare wat absoluut geen doen op aarde het nie. Hierdie lafaards wat waarskynlik deel is van een of ander organisasie of party. Die regering doen nog steeds niks aan die hierdie situasie nie- Die Edelagbare President is meer in die buiteland as in die land.
The Mississippi River, Illinois River and Ohio River are the primary waterways for moving agricultural products by barge in the United States. They are especially important for transporting bulk grains and oilseeds from the Midwest to export ports in New Orleans, Louisiana, US. New Orleans is the leading port for exported corn and soybeans.
China has booked 440,000 tonnes of US wheat, its largest purchase of the grain from the United States since at least 2020 as it looks to supplement its rain-damaged domestic crop, Reuters reported, citing the US Department of Agriculture (USDA).
With nearly 98% of its harvest collected, Russia is forecasting over 65 million tonnes of grain exports during the 2023-24 marketing season, Reuters reported, citing Russian news agency Interfax.

The country South Africa awaits a good mango year, perhaps an above average year reckons a mango grower; there is no official crop estimate yet. Right: Tommy Atkins mangoes running over the line; sunburn is a concern this season
The Southern Africa chapter of the International Fresh Produce Association unpacked what China might mean for South African avocados which for years have been overexposed to the UK and European Union which in turn are overexposed to oversupply from ten countries, dominated by Peru.

Quantum Foods het broei-eiers ingevoer om in sowat die helfte van Nulaid, die handelsnaam waaronder hy eiers bemark, se behoeftes te kan voorsien ná hy henne weens voëlgriepuitbrekings van kant moes maak.
This year in South Africa’s agriculture there are two dominating views about the outlook for 2024. With El Nino underway, one side fears that the drought could undermine agricultural production this year, although not in equal proportion as in the 2015/16 harsh El Nino years.
As usual, when GDP statistics were released this week, there were various analyses of what this means for South Africa. The obvious interpretation of an economy growing at less than the country’s population growth, which is captured in GDP per capita, is that South Africans are getting poorer.
The potato price remained on current levels with the average national potato price on R66.89 per 10kg bag and is 53% higher compared to a year ago with volumes still 18% lower year on year. I believe we can see similar price levels during the coming month as well.
