U.N. Security Council Focus On World Hunger by Rene Wadlow
On 23 May, the United Nations Security Council will hold a special briefing to address the issue of food insecurity under the chairmanship of Mr Alain Berset, President of the Swiss Confederation. During May, the rotating chairmanship is held by Switzerland led by the Swiss Ambassador to the United Nations, New York Ms Pascale Baereswyl. The meeting will have as background a 3 May 2023 report of the Food and Agriculture Organizations (FAO) concerning early warning on areas facing acute food insecurity. The report highlights that some 250 million persons are living in this situation of acute food insecurity with the Democratic Republic of Congo leading the list with some 27 million persons due to armed violence and the breakdown of governmental structures. The Congo is followed by Ethiopia, largely due to fighting in the Tigrey area. The war in Ukraine is also having a negative impact limiting production and export of food goods -a principal export of Ukraine. In addition to armed conflict, there is the growing impact of the consequences of climate change.
Today, cooperation on food insecurity is needed among the U.N. family of agencies, national governments, non-governmental organizations, and the millions of food producers to respond to this food crisis. These measures will have to be taken in a wholistic way with actions going from the local level of the individual farmer, the national level with new governmental policies, to measures at the multi-State regional level such as the European Union and the African Union, and at the world level with better coordinated action through the United Nations system.

A Beating Heart #poem & #painting by Nikos Laios
“The winding streets,
Turning and threading
Through the concrete
And steel bowels of
The city like serpents,
The flashing lights and
The symphony of noise,
The madness and the
Neon lights flooding
This city with life,
Like blood flowing
Through the veins
Of a body.”
