"South Asia’s Groundwater Management Must Put Farmers First"
By: Dialogue Earth – November 21, 2025
"South Asia accounts for 50% of the groundwater pumped for irrigation globally. The practice has been critical to ensuring food security in the region, enabling farmers – predominantly smallholders – to increase food production.

“U.S. Farmers Warn of Labor Shortages as Immigration Actions Rise”
By: Fresh Plaza – November 18, 2025
“The supply of new farm workers is shrinking. Federal data shows that between 2020 and 2022, about 70 percent of farm workers were foreign-born, and more than 40 percent were not authorized to work. Growers have voiced concerns about immigration raids, including large-scale actions in Ventura County, and how enforcement may affect labor availability. The Trump administration has moved to change wage requirements in the H-2A visa program, which allows employers to bring in seasonal workers. Some growers are calling for broader reforms.”

“India’s Anaemia Crisis Demands Policy Convergence, Not Parallel Efforts”
By: Basis Pint Insight – November 25, 2025
“Childhood anemia still sits at the centre of India’s public health anxieties. It dulls cognitive development, drags down educational performance, and quietly chips away at productivity years before a child enters the workforce. Given the scale and persistence of the problem, the question confronting policymakers is not new but remains urgent: are we approaching anaemia with too narrow a lens?”

“The 2025 Holiday Season Through A Food Lens”
By: Forbes – November 23, 2025
“Thanksgiving kicks off a diverse season of holiday celebrations and traditions in the US, and with its focus on food-based gatherings of families and friends, catalyzes a dynamic food buying environment. Although many market analysts have predicted total holiday spending will be down this season, food spending may buck this trend as US households turn to experiences and gatherings as a key part of their celebration.”

"Cows are mammals like us, and they experience heat stress just like we do. When cows are exposed to extreme heat, they can have a range of negative physical effects. There is an increased risk of infection, restlessness, and decreased appetite, which leads to a decline in milk yield. For dairy producers, the heat impact is a direct hit on their revenue.”

By: Morning Sun – November 28, 2025
“So in 2021 and 2022, we saw massive run-ups in fertilizer prices and other agricultural inputs, and agricultural land prices have become quite expensive. Cash rental rates for farmers now are now a substantial share of the cost of production.”

“Arkansas Farm Income Expected to Drop 8% Next Year”
By: Talk Business – December 1, 2025
“We have some moderate cases coming in this year which may indicate another hard HPAI year, but these are still early signs and we don’t know the full effects. Egg prices are following very consistent seasonal patterns, where winter affects egg production coupled with seasonal holiday demand. Layer HPAI on top of this and if case counts rise dramatically, we may see egg prices climb. If HPAI moderates, or has fewer cases, then we will not see the historic prices of last year.”
“There will likely be reductions in rice and cotton acreage, with acreage shifting more into corn and soybeans on more favorable margins. All crop margins are still negative for 2026, according to our crop enterprise budgets, but soybeans and corn appear to show the lowest likely loss.”
“Cash receipt estimates from eggs are lower in 2026 with declining egg prices, but that estimate should be interpreted with caution because there is still a lot of uncertainty from year to year on losses due to HPAI.”
