A new book provides a roadmap for food systems transformation in Kenya

The past few years have seen Kenya, along with many other countries, confronted with multifaceted and compounding challenges. The disruptions caused by COVID-19, high levels of food price inflation, and environmental crises, such as locust infestations and droughts, have severely tested the resilience of Kenya’s food systems and the affordability of food for its citizens. […]

What’s driving the farmer protests sweeping Europe? (CNN)

Senior research fellow Danielle Resnick was interviewed by CNN on the reasons behind farmers’ protests throughout Europe. Resnick says, “These protests reflect some complex political economy dynamics, especially as European governments are trying to navigate the fiscal and climate crisis. Farmers have a lot of grievances, but one that they noted was their own returns on investment has really shifted over […]

The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) is marking 40 years of rail service to O’Hare International Airport by inviting customers to take a ride back in time.

New Work Activity - Extended Partial Alley Closure at t he Alley east of 4801 thru 4838 N. Broadway.

In alignment with its ongoing commitment to bringing equity and inclusion to all aspects of its decision-making, the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) announced today it will be seeking new applicants to join the agency’s Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Advisory Committee.

New Work Activity- Extended West Bound Lane Closure at W. Bryn Mawr Avenue between N. Broadway and N. Winthrop Avenue for Street, Sewer Reconstruction & Station Utility Connection

There will be intermittent street closures on W Ardmore at the CTA tracks to allow crews to hoist construction materials to track level.

As part of its commitment to riders to improve service frequency, the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) today announced details of the fall rail service schedule, which will result in added services along all eight rail lines, across all days of the week – the equivalent of a 20 percent increase in scheduled weekly roundtrips.

CTA makes getting to school, work, appointments and other destinations across town easier than ever. With the new fall rail schedule now in effect, CTA is back to providing pre-pandemic levels of rail service. When bundled with the purchase of an unlimited rides pass, either the 1-Day ($5) – far more economical and convenient than the price of gas and parking - or the 3-Day ($15) pass – a real budget-saving move – its only makes “cents” to take public transit.
