Kinshasa, Dr Congo (IRIN) – Urban farming in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is providing a livelihood for thousands of city dwellers, with vegetables bringing in good money for small growers and helping to alleviate high levels of malnutrition nationally, agricultural officials say. The demand for vegetables and the high prices they command in DRC cities – up to US $4 per kilo – has pushed many jobless residents into becoming small-scale growers. Most of the green spaces along the roadsides of the capital, Kinshasa, have been transformed into small farms. City farmers now grow 122 percent more produce than they did five years ago, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). The [...] Continue Reading…

London, England, United Kingdom (AHN) – The Archbishop of Canterbury criticized the year old British coalition government on Wednesday in an editorial. Dr. Rowan Williams, the guest editor of the New Statesman magazine, wrote that Britons are afraid of the reforms in education, health and benefit systems initiated by Prime Minister David Cameron and Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg.

Williams belittled Cameron’s Big Society idea as a stale slogan, claiming the concept is not an excuse for the coalition to blame [...] Continue Reading…
