Oil prices stabilised in early Asian trade on Wednesday after sharp moves earlier in the week, as markets weighed concerns about the US economy and potential supply disruptions from ongoing tensions in the Red Sea. Brent crude slipped $0,01, or 0.01%, to $75.88 a barrel by 0300 GMT, while US West Texas Intermediate crude futures rose $0,04, or 0.06%, to $70.42 a barrel. Oil prices had climbed about $2 earlier in the week after attacks on vessels in the Red Sea by Houthi rebels over the weekend and the reported arrival of an Iranian warship on Monday. A wider conflict could close crucial waterways for oil transportation and disrupt trade flows.
Ontbossing beïnvloed klimaatsverandering, aardverwarming en kweekhuisgasvrystellings negatief. Terselfdertyd lei oorstromings tot die vernietiging van natuurlewe, laer menslike lewensgehalte, versuring van die oseane en geleidelike verlies aan biodiversiteit. Bome speel 'n belangrike rol in die beheersing van aardverwarming. Bome gebruik kweekhuisgasse om die balans in die atmosfeer te herstel. Met voortgesette ontbossing het die aandeel kweekhuisgasse in die atmosfeer toegeneem, wat ons aardverwarmingsprobleme vererger. Bome is ook van kardinale belang vir ons plaaslike watersiklusse, aangesien dit voortgaan om waterdamp in die atmosfeer te laat terugkeer. Die grond bly vogtig namate die reënwater deur die grond spoel.
Suid-Afrika se verval kan eenvoudig nie langer geduld of bekostig word nie. Dit is waarom Landbouweekblad en Senwes op 20 en 21 Februarie die konferensie met die tema ‘Oplossings vir Suid-Afrika se platteland’ op Nampo-park, Bothaville, aanbied. Sonder boere kan daar nie ’n Suid-Afrika wees nie, maar sonder ’n gemeenskap kan daar ook geen boere wees nie. Die geleidelike agteruitgang van landelike Suid-Afrika getuig van die breër maatskaplike probleme in Suid-Afrika. Van onderwys tot gesondheid; paaie tot watervoorsiening; maatskaplike samehorigheid tot indiensneming – as dit ’n Suid-Afrikaanse probleem is, is dit waarskynlik erger in die landelike gebiede van ons uitgestrekte platteland.

After what was probably the hottest July in 120,000 years, Hansen, whose testimony to the US Senate in 1988 is widely seen as the first high-profile revelation of global heating, warned that the world was moving towards a “new climate frontier” with temperatures higher than at any point over the past million years.

When fraud occurs in raw materials or inputs to the supply chain, huge quantities of food are affected, such as a massive fraud that occurred in organic grains used for animal feed. Tree nuts are popular targets for theft, because they keep for a long time and are difficult to trace when sold in bulk by thieves. A single trailer load of pistachios can be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, netting any thief a tidy profit when he sells them on to legitimate food traders. Food and beverage thefts are now the top cargo crime in the US, with strategic, organized thefts of food shipments increasing by 600 percent between 2022 and 2023. READ MORE

Time seems compressed in the Makgadikgadi, and it feels like one can almost touch the ghosts of humanity’s ancestors. Sometimes, I watch visitors sit on that lakebed; I see them take in the enormity of that connection. I see them reach out and touch a rock last held by a man or woman who walked here 70,000 years ago. I see them trying to picture a 66,000km² lake, already disturbed by the vastness of billions of stars above their heads, already in awe of the giant Baobabs that have witnessed so many of us come and go over thousands of years.
