As part of his participation in the Young Reporters for the Environment (YRE) competition, Julian Agius Scicluna explores the global challenge of food scarcity and food security, highlighting that hunger is not caused by a lack of food but by unequal distribution and limited access. Despite the world producing enough food, around 673 million people still face hunger, showing the importance of better global cooperation and fair allocation of resources. The article also discusses how globalisation, conflicts such as the war in Ukraine, and instability in regions like the Middle East have disrupted food supply chains and made achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals, especially Zero Hunger, more difficult. Julian explains that food insecurity also affects local communities that depend heavily on agriculture and are vulnerable to climate change and unpredictable weather. He further highlights the issue of food waste in Europe, showing the imbalance between abundance and need.

Through creativity and teamwork, recycled materials are transformed into innovative sets and costumes—turning ideas into meaningful action. This is more than a performance; it is quality education in action. Students learn by doing, building responsibility, creativity, and real-world skills beyond the classroom. By reimagining waste, the project promotes responsible consumption, supports sustainable communities, and encourages innovation, while fostering respect for life on land. At its heart are partnerships—showing how working together can create lasting impact.

Image Caption: Malta’s fragile ecosystems under threat by modern progress Summary of the description being used for the image: This image highlights the environmental crisis in Malta, where rapid, unsustainable development is threatening fragile ecosystems, farmland, and vital green spaces. Across The Maltese Islands, urban sprawl is expanding too quickly for nature to recover, raising concerns about food security and biodiversity loss. Indigenous species face increasing risk of extinction, while the loss of the islands’ “green lung” reduces natural protection against climate change. As green areas disappear, air quality declines and temperatures rise, leaving Malta more vulnerable and questioning how long its environment can withstand such pressure.

The podcast is about Water Scarcity and Food Security. Eko skola committee researched the topic and a member from the Manikata Agricultural Cooperative was invited to give a talk to the committee about the topic. The students asked questions during the talk on the research that was previously done. This was followed by a podcast recorded in a studio where two members of the Eko skola committee discussed the topic with Dr. Mario Cardona. It was a good experience for these two Year 6 students to do a recording of Podcast at a studio. https://ln5.sync.com/dl/290eb9210#j8nxedgq-u8ytbtnf-pi6m5633-yxr45bw8

Latex balloons are often mistaken for food (like jellyfish) by sea turtles, causing intestinal blockages, while ribbons and strings cause entanglement. Less sea turtles = more jellyfish.
