Food Systems Are the Missing Link in Social Development By George Conway and Stefanos Fotiou Copyright © 2025 IPS-Inter Press Service.

MOGADISHU / ROME, Oct 31 2025 (IPS) - Food has always been political.

Food is also a basic human right – one recognized in international law but too often unrealized in practice. Guaranteeing that right requires viewing food not as a form of emergency relief, but as the cornerstone of sustainable social development. https://www.ipsnews.net/2025/10/food-systems-are-the-missing-link-in-social-development/?utm_source=email_marketing&utm_admin=146128&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=The_Biggest_Single_Contributor_to_the_UN_Budget_is_also_the_Biggest_Single_Defaulter_As_Civil_Societ Copyright © 2025 IPS-Inter Press Service.

Israeli War Propaganda on Social Media by Thierry Meyssan

Israeli War Propaganda on Social Media by Thierry Meyssan Benyamin Netanyahu’s coalition government has taken control of TikTok and plans to also control the social network X.

A small group decides its messages alone, without considering what would be useful to Israelis—such as fighting anti-Semitism. State resources have been seized solely by "revisionist Zionists," even though they are an ultra-minority.

International Day for the Eradication of Poverty Copyright © 2025 IPS-Inter Press Service.

https://www.ipsnews.net/2025/10/international-day-for-the-eradication-of-poverty/ Oct 15 2025 - Poverty is not just scarcity. It is exclusion, stigma, and invisibility. Poverty is not a personal failure. It is a systemic failure. A denial of dignity and human rights. Families in poverty often endure intrusive surveillance, burdensome eligibility checks and systems that judge, not support. Single mothers, Indigenous households, marginalized groups face increased scrutiny, suspicion and separation. Over 690 million people live in extreme poverty. Nearly half the world lives on less than USD$6.85 per day. Around 1.1 billion people suffer multidimensional poverty. Copyright © 2025 IPS-Inter Press Service.

But talk is not enough. We must shift systems, not just carbon. Copyright © 2025 IPS-Inter Press Service.
