Tears wiped away

Child malnutrition affects other Millennium Development Goals

Malnutrition increases the risk of contracting diseases such as diarrhea or measles, and of dying from them. It is one of the most important determinants of child mortality.

Malnutrition reduces school achievement and results in inferior cognitive abilities that can persist throughout life. In rural Zimbabwe, childhood nutritional deficits due to civil war in the late 1970s and drought in 1982-84 led to late school entry… Continue

Haiti: Often Forgotten, Seldom Fed

April 13th, 2008 by R.Basas

*This post has also been cross-posted in the FPA’s Latin America Blog.



In 2004 Haiti took the attention of the world community. With the UN making a home in the poorest country in the Americas and the fall of the leader at the time, refugees from Haiti fled on boats, across the Dominican border and through any means possible to escape the chaos of their home country. Ever since, Haitians have tried to escape a… Continue

Child Marriage in Mali Continuing to be Ignored

Thursday, September 6th, 2007





Adjaratou, pictured above, was around 12 when her parents forced her to marry her maternal cousin, where she suffered countless abuses. When she refused her husband’s demands to do such things as cover her head, she was beaten, and therefore suffered two miscarriages (Too Young to Wed).



Adjaratou, is just one of the millions of girls and women in the western African nation of Mali, who… Continue

Helping feed the world in future years
By Ellee
Here is one very good reason why we need to promote science in our schools and keep our scientists in Britain - to work on ground-breaking, innovating research projects which will help feed the world’s expanding population in future years by tackling some of the most damaging and widespread pests, diseases and harsh environmental conditions which can devastate crop yields.

Twelve innovative and vital projects have received £7 million funding to do just that from the Biotechnology and Biological Research Council and the Department for International Development, including the National Institute of Agricultural Botany in Cambridge. I went to the launch last week and promised you an update about the awards. More than 250 proposals were received, and were whittled down to the final dozen.

NIAB will collaborate with the International Rice Research Institute, based in the Philippines for research on rice genetics that will lead to the creation of climate resistant strains of rice for Africa and Asia.

It is vital work. Rice is the staple food for over two billion people, but lack of water and disease limit its production across the developing world. There is an urgent need for new breeds of rice that can cope with changing climatic conditions and to improve food security across the developing world. Food prices are rising globally, and is beginning to cause severe hardship and suffering.
