The recent court ruling on the death of 19-year-old Carl Angelo Arnaiz and 14-year-old Reynaldo 'Kulot' de Guzman shows that the call for justice for victims of the so-called 'war on drugs' is far from over. This is only the second conviction in the illegal drugs campaign of the Duterte administration, where more than 100 children and more than 12,000 have been reportedly killed. The first case was the killing of 17-year-old Kian delos Santos that led to the conviction of three police officers in 2018.

Food system shocks - like natural disasters, political conflicts, or pandemics - raise the prices of staple foods, reduce access to good-quality diets and increase hunger. In low- and middle-income countries, the impacts of such shocks can be harder to measure, and respond to, because these countries rely more on informal food vendors, small, mobile retailers who are often unlicensed but provide a critical link in urban food environments. A new project from Cornell's Food Systems & Global Change , in collaboration with Purdue University and Kula Vyema Centre of Food Economics, seeks to develop a surveillance system to measure food environments in two mid-sized cities in south-central Kenya, and to develop a methodology for monitoring similar food environments around the world, with the goal of improving food security and health.
