The 2023 European cereal harvest is set to be its lowest since 2007 – at 256 million tonnes, some 9.5% lower than the five-year average of 283 million tonnes, European farming organization Copa Cogeca said this week.

Harvests in Portugal, Spain and Italy, where temperatures have regularly topped 40°C in July, are expected to be hardest hit by the heatwave.

Why China and many others are opposed to the release of nuclear contaminated water in Fukushima

japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/07/

Japan's plan is facing a strong backlash from China, South Korea and other locations in the Pacific. But where are the concerns coming from?

“If some people think that the nuclear-contaminated water from Fukushima is safe to drink or swim in, we suggest that Japan save the nuclear-contaminated water for these people to drink or swim in, instead of releasing it into the sea and causing widespread concerns internationally,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said.

“As an environmental biologist, I strongly adhere to what’s called the precautionary principle,” Robert Richmond, director of the Kewalo Marine Laboratory at the University of Hawaii, said when asked about China’s ban on importing Japanese seafood. “In the absence of data showing something is safe, you don't assume that it's safe. You rather put in those protective measures to be very conservative.”
