WFP halves emergency food assistance in Syria amid severe funding shortfalls, cutting support for hundreds of thousands and halting the nationwide bread subsidy—leaving millions at risk of hunger and malnutrition. Urgent $189M needed. https://news.un.org/en/story/2026/05/1167499 #Syria #Aid #FoodSecurity 🍞🚨

A 2025 heat event in Kyrgyzstan, for example, saw temperatures rise around 10°C above normal, contributing to a 25 per cent decline in cereal harvests, while also triggering locust swarms and reducing irrigation capacity.

Elsewhere, prolonged heat and drought conditions in Brazil in 2023 and 2024 cut soybean yields by as much as 20 per cent, while a major heatwave across North America in 2021 led to significant losses in fruit crops and a sharp spike in forest fires.

From yesterday. Applied the hydrated alfalfa pellets, cold mulching natural fertilizer, to several transplanted starters & seedlings. I have only used 1/4 of bucket -> it fed 30 transplanted starters & 60 seedlings.

Today, I'm feeding our fruit trees/shrubs/more food/flower plants & putting some where I had recently broadcast sowed more alternative cover crop seeds.

Now you see me smiling, standing in such a beautiful place, and you might ask what is making me smile. I think I can just stay quiet and let nature speak for itself.

The rich land, the crops growing in it, and the cool #environment will give you the real and satisfying answer.

What do you think? 😊

The Last of Winter: Using Up Your Home #Canned and #FrozenFoods

April 9, 2026, Sandra Mitchell, #UMaineExtension

"By the time April rolls around, the rhythm of the kitchen begins to shift. The bins of stored vegetables—once full in the fall—are noticeably lighter. The onions have softened, a few potatoes have begun to sprout, and the last of the carrots are tucked into the corners of the crisper drawer. In the freezer, bags of berries and containers of soup remain, but their number is dwindling. Shelves that held neatly stacked jars of tomatoes, beans, and pickles now show gaps. This is the quiet end of the storage season.

For those who preserve food, April is not a time of abundance. It is a time of assessment, creativity, and careful use—a moment to take stock of what remains and use it well, while maintaining food safety and quality.

Taking Inventory: What Do You Have Left?

Before planning meals or preservation projects, it is worth taking a deliberate inventory of stored foods:

- Root vegetables (potatoes, carrots, beets, onions, winter squash)
- Frozen produce (berries, vegetables, prepared meals, stocks)
- Home-canned goods (vegetables, fruits, sauces, soups, pickles) [Also store-bought canned foods -- check dates and make sure cans aren't bulging or rusted]

As you assess, check for quality and safety:

- Discard root vegetables that are soft, moldy, or show signs of rot
- Remove sprouts and green portions from potatoes before use
- Examine home-canned jars for seal integrity and discard any with signs of spoilage (bulging lids, leakage, or off-odors)
- Use frozen foods that have been well-wrapped and free of freezer burn first

This process not only ensures safety but helps guide how to use remaining foods efficiently."
