"Desert Ranges" (1940) is a powerful, late-period landscape by Maynard Dixon, showcasing his unparalleled ability to capture the stark, architectural beauty of the Western wilderness. The painting portrays a vast, silent desert expanse dominated by a colossal mountain range that stretches across the horizon under a soft blue sky streaked with wispy clouds. https://stellar-art.pixels.com/featured/desert-ranges-1940-maynard-dixon-1875-1946.html #art #ArtHistory #Western #landscape

Italian News by RSS @ItalianNews@mastodon.ozioso.online · Jul 23, 2026
Il Fatto Quotidiano: “Per fermare la fame nel mondo basta meno di un decimo della spesa in armi. E anche in Italia una persona su dieci soffre di insicurezza alimentare” “Per risolvere la fame nel mondo la prima grande azione da mettere in campo sarebbe soprattutto una: cessare le guerre, perché le guerre sono una delle cause strutturali di fame. Inoltre, gli investimenti in armi tolgono risorse alla lotta alla malnutrizione: oggi i paesi con crisi alimentari gravi sono quelli in situazioni di guerra”. Simone Garroni, Direttore Generale di “Azione Contro la Fame”, commenta così il nuovo Rapporto SOFI (Stato della Sicurezza Alimentare e della Nutrizione nel Mondo), pubblicato da cinque agenzie specializzate delle Nazioni Unite. Nel 2025 sono ancora 645 milioni le persone che soffrono la fame, pari al 7,8% della popolazione mondiale e 2,1 miliardi sono in condizione di insicurezza alimentare da moderata a grave. “E pensare”, continua Garroni, “che basterebbe meno di un decimo di quanto viene spese in armi a livello globale per fermare la fame”. Quanto incidono i tagli agli aiuti umanitari sulla fame nel mondo? Il governo Trump ha quasi interamente tagliato i fondi USAID e molti governi occidentali stanno tagliando i fondi per la cooperazione umanitaria e lo sviluppo. Secondo The Lancet, se questi tagli dovessero continuare sono previsti 14 milioni in più di morti per fame e malnutrizione al 2030. Purtroppo, tutto ciò lo tocchiamo con mano, abbiamo dovuto ridurre i nostri interventi in una serie di paesi, in particolare nella Repubblica del Congo e in Somalia. Questi tagli hanno un effetto immediato sulla sopravvivenza dei bambini malnutriti, piuttosto che sulla capacità di generare resilienza agli choc a cui sono esposte queste popolazioni. E il dispiegamento dei tagli sarà ancora maggiore nel 2026 e 2027. L'articolo “Per fermare la fame nel mondo basta meno di un decimo della spesa in armi. E anche in Italia una persona su dieci soffre di insicurezza alimentare” proviene da Il Fatto Quotidiano. To end world hunger it would take less than one tenth of the amount spent on weapons. And even in Italy, one in ten people suffers from food insecurity. To solve world hunger, the first major action to implement would be primarily one: cease wars, because wars are a structural cause of hunger. Furthermore, investments in weapons deprive resources from the fight against malnutrition: today the countries with severe food crises are those in war situations. Simone Garroni, General Director of “Action Against Hunger,” comments thus on the new SOFI Report (State of Food Insecurity and Nutrition in the World), published by five specialized United Nations agencies. In 2025, 645 million people still suffer from hunger, representing 7.8% of the world’s population, and 2.1 billion are in a state of moderate to severe food insecurity. “And think,” Garroni continues, “that it would be enough less than one tenth of what is spent on weapons globally to end hunger.” How do cuts to humanitarian aid affect hunger worldwide? The Trump administration almost completely cut USAID funding and many Western governments are cutting funds for humanitarian cooperation and development. According to The Lancet, if these cuts were to continue, 14 million more deaths from hunger and malnutrition would be expected by 2030. Unfortunately, we feel the effects firsthand; we have had to reduce our interventions in a number of countries, particularly in the Republic of Congo and Somalia. These cuts have an immediate effect on the survival of malnourished children, rather than on the ability to generate resilience to shocks that these populations are exposed to. And the deployment of these cuts will be even greater in 2026 and 2027. The article “To stop world hunger it takes less than one tenth of weapon spending. And also in Italy one in ten suffers from food insecurity” comes from Il Fatto Quotidiano. #Italy #first #SimoneGarroni #ActionAgainstHunger #UnitedNations #Garroni #USAID #Western #Lancet #theRepublicofCongo #Somalia #IlFattoQuotidiano https://www.ilfattoquotidiano.it/2026/07/23/fame-mondo-spese-armi-insicurezza-alimentare-notizie/8455793/

In meinem privaten Blog schrieb ich eine sehr positive Rezension über einen neuen Western-Comic, der allerdings recht heftig ausfällt – aber er ist stark gezeichnet und spannend erzählt.
