Reporters on the Frontline of Environment

Inter Press Service ( IPS) and the International Federation of Environmental Journalists (IFEJ) have partnered to commission environmental journalists to contribute in-depth, independent reporting on sustainable development. The IFEJ network of individuals and national associations of specialised environmental journalists is working with the IPS network of writers and editors.

Articles contributed by local journalists writing from all regions about key sustainable development issues will be distributed through the IPS global wire service and other partner networks.

This partnership was created within, and is supported by, the Alliance of Communicators for Sustainable Development, COM+. IPS and IFEJ are both founder members of COM+.

FAO Chief appeals to US President-Elect to help end world hunger
More than 800 million people suffer hunger today. A crucial part of this complex problem is food production and distribution. Is it possible to increase food production in an environmentally and socially sustainable way? Can modernisation, research and investment enhance food security? Is there anything to learn from traditional knowledge? How do trade and energy policies affect the equation? And gender? Where and when is food aid really needed? Can the upswing of commodity prices be positive for some countries? How are farmers coping with climate change? IPS finds the stories behind the current food crisis to understand local and global causes of shortages and rising prices, and their long term effects.
