AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Drought Relief for Farmers: UK PM Andy Burnham unveiled a £65m package to help drought-hit food producers get water to crops, keep livestock fed, and keep environmental payments on track, including faster access to water storage and flexibility under nature schemes. Weather Safety for Farms & Fishers: Dominica’s agriculture ministry urged farmers and fishers to secure tools, seedlings, and structures ahead of an incoming weather system bringing strong winds and heavy rain. Pest Control Update: Texas A&M AgriLife Extension updated its pasture mealybug guidance, with EPA emergency approval for Centric 40WG after field trials showed consistent control. Farmworker Protection: North Carolina advocates pushed for stronger protections as heat waves force farmworkers to work in extreme conditions without required cooling in housing. Soil Health as a Strategy: Mississippi farmers are leaning into soil restoration to build resilience against drought, flooding, and parasites—starting with “healing the soil” to cut input costs and improve profitability. Food Security Funding: Ghana’s Feed Ghana Programme is credited with slashing food inflation from 28.3% (Jan 2025) to 2.2% (Apr 2026) through higher domestic production. Food Safety Scrutiny: FDA inspectors traveled to Taylor Farms’ Mexico operations tied to the cyclospora outbreak to review processing and growing conditions. Conservation with Economics: Nebraska’s Precision Conservation Management is expanding to help farmers weigh conservation choices by field-level impacts on both environment and farm finances. Climate-Smart Agriculture Push: Borongan City (Philippines) is seeking UN technical support for climate-smart farming across Eastern Samar municipalities.
