2020 is a special year for China as it marks the deadline to achieve goals of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, implementing the 13th five-year plan, and winning the decisive battle against poverty.
This launch event will discuss how China should continue to develop its agricultural industry in a global context to meet the goals above, and how China and the world should respond to challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic and support the poor and vulnerable groups.
The China Agricultural Sector Development Report 2020 (CASDR) analyzes the domestic and foreign macroeconomic and agricultural industry conditions. The report reviews the important events in 2019, including the persistence of trade frictions between China and the United States, the spread of African swine fever, etc. Besides, the report assesses the competitiveness of China’s agricultural industry from the perspectives of total factor productivity, international trade and production cost. The report provides studies on the impact of COVID-19 on China’s agriculture and farmers’ income; research on the recovering of pig production capacity and its key influencing factors; and simulations of the impact of fall armyworm on China’s corn industry in 2020. Moreover, it summarizes the characteristics of 18 important agricultural product industries development in 2019 and prospecting trends in the next two years.
The IFPRI 2020 Global Food Policy Report (GFPR) highlights the central role that inclusive food systems play in meeting global goals to end poverty, hunger, and malnutrition, and offers recommendations for making food systems more inclusive for four marginalized groups – smallholders, women, youth, and conflict-affected people. The report also provides analysis on transforming national food system in several countries like Bangladesh and Ethiopia, and advice on development of food system in different regions worldwide. As for China, smallholders and other marginalized groups are affected by African swine fever, trade disputes between China and the United States, COVID-19 and other uncertainties. Their livelihoods, food security, and nutritional status require particular attention. GFPR calls for supporting the poor and the most vulnerable to build inclusive food systems
During the event, an overview of the GFPR's and CASDR's findings will be presented.

Like a cancer the hunger for rock is eating up tons of gravel. Most of what's mined here will be mixed with water and cement to make concrete.
A day this little village, one of the most beautiful in Avellino countryside, will be swallowed by the front end loaders.

"I do not know where it came from or what it is, I assume it was a creation of the makuta, but it is here now and persists despite all efforts I do not know how long we can escape it's hunger."
2015 Beyond Hunger: A Place at the Table

Trying to capture the experience of the extraordinary 'Hunger', in particular the monologue at the center of the film.
If you haven't seen it, it's an astonishing film following the film six weeks of Bobby Sands life, as played by Michael Fassbender and directed by Steve McQueen. Written by Edna Walsh and Steve McQueen.
The theme this week was hunger.
I researched hunger to get some ideas and noticed that the main type of image was starvation in 3rd world countries, although i think this is very important i wanted to show something that is perhaps more of an issue in the 'world' i live. Hunger means something different to everyone and i wanted to get across another perspective from which hunger can be an awful and painful thing, this doesnt show the pysical hunger of a 3rd world country but the mental side of it. I have used Photoshop to change the image to B&W and also show the food in colour to make it more obvious, i have played around with this, with and without the colour i felt it blended in too much without it.
The main thing for me at the moment is to learn how to use Photoshop so i learnt a new skill all by myself in showing both the colour and black and white:-)

Cracked
we were on our way to catch the sunset and the moon tonight, and all the deer were out trying to find some food... poor criters, its been a long wnter for them too.
Imagine no need of opulence…
For the riches those we are…
It’s not hard to do…
No need for more, to make one poorer,
A feeling of a man for a man…
Imagine none of us…
Burning in the pain of hunger!!!
You, you may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one!!!
Imagine…

The Original Song:
To raise awareness and support for the Horn of Africa, Rebecca Drouin decided to shave her head. Through media awareness she asked people to donate to the Horn of Africa and committed to shaving her head if she reached her goal. Rebecca met her goal and has raised $1,380 for CARE Canada, 200,000 grains of rice through FreeRice and educated people about hunger abroad. Rebecca was inspired by the Masai tribe from the Masai Mara in Kenya who use head shaving as a symbol of change and new beginnings. Photo credit: Jesse James Photography
