Food forward: How governments can be more intentional about food security

Food security is a critical and increasingly complex policy priority for governments worldwide, involving deep-rooted, systemic challenges across global and national food systems. Population growth, geopolitical risks, trade fragility, technology, and climate change are intensifying these challenges. But food security is a multifaceted topic. Targeted initiatives, if not fully thought out, can have unexpected consequences—improving performance in one aspect of the food system while unintentionally worsening performance in others.  Governments need a comprehensive approach that addresses the four pillars of food security: availability, affordability, safety and quality, and sustainability. Policymakers have a variety of tools they can use, including regulatory policies, funding, education, and technology. By starting with a clear understanding of their current situation and greatest needs, governments can choose the right set of tools for their unique context, ensuring that they can meet the food needs of their citizens and the rest of the world. Although the current situation remains fluid and the effects are still unfolding, recent events reinforce a broader lesson: Food security resilience increasingly depends not only on domestic production, but also on diversified sourcing, flexible logistics, and shock-ready policy design. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to accomplishing the food security balance across the globe’s

Aaron Rai has always been the nice guy in two gloves. Now he’s the nice guy in … – ABC17NEWS

By Dana O’Neil, CNN Newtown Square, Pennsylvania (CNN) — After he signed his card, the one that made official his in-the-clubhouse best 9-under for the PGA Championship, Aaron Rai grabbed the hand of his wife, Gaurika Bishnoi. The two ambled around the metal gates that keep out the people who don’t belong in the official areas, circled around the paved walkway and made their way toward the Aronimink clubhouse. As they walked, his right hand in her left, their arms swung back and forth casually as if they were out for an ordinary Sunday evening stroll – happily oblivious to the two cameramen walking backward in front of them, the phalanx of photographers trailing them, the guy dangling a boom mic and the Goodyear blimp hovering nearby. As if any of this was normal. In the course of one afternoon, Rai eagled nine, sunk an absurd 50-odd foot putt at 17, mastered a course that seemed unconquerable, kept at bay a pack of baying wolves that included Jon Rahm, Justin Thomas,  » Read More

TNT Sports plans YouTube simulcasts, more social for second French Open

TNT Sports is gearing up for the second year of its decade long deal for the U.S. television rights to the French Open. Getty Images TNT Sports’ first year as the French Open’s U.S. rightsholders drew praise for inventive elements like its Red Zone-style whiparound show (“Rally at Roland Garros”), the candid conversations its talent curated with athletes at the studio desk, and strong, tournament-long ratings. In year two of its decade-long deal -- which begins with qualifying rounds this week, with the main draw running from May 24-June 7 -- TNT Sports EVP & Chief Content Officer Craig Barry’s focus is now on incremental improvement. “I don’t want to overstate it. I don’t think it was groundbreaking, as much as it was refreshing progression,” Barry told SBJ of TNT’s 2025 French Open coverage. “When you feel like you’ve done a number of things right, you want to be incrementally better. It’s hard enough to be good the first time. It’s even harder to be just as good or better the second time. So, you’ll see a lot of the same.” MORE OF THE SAME: In that vein, TNT Sports will return much of its analyst and commentator rotation from

Meta layoffs 2026: Employees stock up on snacks, chargers as Facebook parent prepares to …

As Meta prepares for a fresh round of layoffs on May 20, anxiety is spreading across the company, with employees reportedly bracing for what some have described as a “doomsday” moment inside the tech giant. The Facebook and Instagram parent company is expected to cut nearly 8,000 jobs in the first phase of layoffs this year, amounting to around 10% of its global workforce. Additional cuts are expected later in 2026, according to Reuters. Former Meta employee Adel Wu described the tense atmosphere ahead of the layoffs in a viral post on X, recalling how workers reacted during previous rounds of job cuts at the company. “During my last year at Meta there were probably 4-5 layoffs, but this one on 5/20 is huuuge,” Wu wrote. She added that employees were either hoping to be laid off or were deeply anxious because “the job is their lifeline.” Wu also recalled employees stuffing bags with free snacks, drinks and chargers before earlier layoffs. “Very weird time to be in big tech,” she wrote.  » Read More
