The global food system is in urgent need of a radical shake-up to meet growing demand for food and nutrition security.  The 2025 Kunming Manifesto, launched at the 2025 Africa Food Systems Forum, presents agrobiodiversity as a solution to improve nutrition, strengthen ecosystems, and empower local communities, when integrated into policy and practice.  Actionable recommendations and case studies show that a coordinated multistakeholder approach in resilient agrifood systems can deliver rapid health, economic, and environmental benefits.

The natural phenomenon of upwelling, which occurs annually in the Gulf of Panama, failed for the first time on record in 2025. A study led by scientists from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) indicates that the weakening of the trade winds was the cause of this event. This finding highlights the climate’s impact on fundamental oceanic processes and the coastal communities that depend on them

Researchers identified three carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales isolates: Klebsiella pasteurii M2/A/C/34, Klebsiella pneumoniae subsp. pneumoniae M3/A/M/3, and Citrobacter freundii sensu stricto M4/A/C/32, using a strategy that integrated environmental sampling, microbiological isolation, phenotypic characterization of resistance, and complete genomic analysis of the isolates.
