ROME - The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and Sudan signed a financing agreement worth dlrs 47.5 million that aims to improve the country’s resilience to climate change and raise household incomes.

 Sudan’s economy remains heavily reliant on agriculture, with nearly half the population depending upon the sector and related industries for their livelihood, according to IFAD.

 Indeed, in recent times the capital has been rocked by so-called “bread protests,” triggered by the Sudanese government’s latest austerity measures.

ROME - The news is important for the entire beer world. The characteristics of an Italian Style, absolutely typical of the beers brewed along the peninsula, are now also permanently recognized by the “Beer Judge Certification Program” (BJCP), the international non-profit association whose members are tasters and judges of competitions dedicated worldwide to this beverage. This result has been achieved by “grape ales,” i.e. those with a direct connection with grapes, whether white or red, with the must, which investigate the frontiers between hops, malts and grapes.

ROME - Meridiana has announced its new modern business plan, which aims to place it as “a leader in the global industry,” promising “high quality and an affordable schedule of services.” The company’s name will also officially change to Air Italy.

 Particular attention will be paid to providing an impressive passenger experience and the expansion of flight options, including the introduction of new destinations, and expanding its domestic and intercontinental services.
