Jordan Morsels June 2016 Jordan
THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Voluntary - Public Date: 6/8/2016 GAIN Report Number: JO16004 Jordan Post: Amman Jordan Morsels June 2016 Report Categories: Agriculture in the News Approved By: Orestes Vasquez Prepared By: Mohamed Khraishy Report Highlights: News bits covering Jordan’s key agricultural developments in the month of June. General Information: 75,000 Visitors Attend Jordan Food Exhibition 2016 Jordan Food Exhibition 2016, which concluded on Sunday June, 5, received over 75,000 visitors. The five-day exhibition, which featured products by 150 factories, wholesalers and retailers, received positive feedback from visitors due to its organization and the caliber of the participating companies. The exhibition was held in Amman at Hussein Youth City, with over 4,000 square meters showcasing what the local food market has to offer. American products dominated many of the exhibits, showcasing a range of products that included rice, poultry cuts, nuts, cheese, and snacks. It was noticeable the strong presence of leading U.S. brands vying for market share in Jordan’s highly competitive environment, especially those of processed foods, cheese, and rice. Fruit and Vegetable Farmers’ Plight Continues Despite a pick-up in demand of fruit and vegetables (F&V) due to high demand during the holy month of Ramadan, prices continue to remain low as farmers are unable to shrug off excess supply due to the border closings in the neighboring countries, as war continues to wreak havoc. The Chairman of Jordan Valley Farmers Association has called for farmers to abstain producing F&V after an annus horribilis that left them with nothing but debts, and minimal government support.

Thematic Assessment Report Livelihoods,Employment
LIVELIHOODS, EMPLOYMENT AND TENSIONS IN JORDANIAN COMMUNITIES HOSTING SYRIAN REFUGEES THEMATIC ASSESSMENT REPORT JUNE 2014 Livelihoods, Employment and Tensions in Jordanian Communities Hosting Syrian Refugees - June 2014 SUMMARY With the protracted Syrian crisis extending into its fourth year, the conflict continues to force millions of Syrians to seek refuge in the neighbouring countries of Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon and Turkey. These host countries are bearing the brunt of the crisis, which represents the largest refugee exodus in recent history with a total of 2,863,595 registered refugees now living outside of Syria.1 Since 2011, approximately 600,000 Syrians have crossed the border into Jordan, putting immense strain on already scarce resources, and intensifying competition for basic services. The vast majority of these refugees do not reside in camps, but are hosted by Jordanian communities,2 where limited opportunities, a lack of resources and inadequate living space present a challenge to social cohesion and community resilience. In Jordan, few comprehensive studies have been conducted to provide an in-depth understanding of the key drivers of host community tensions. To address this information gap, this multi-sectoral REACH assessment aimed at identifying where tensions have emerged across northern Jordan as a result of the Syrian refugee crisis, and how they could be mitigated through social cohesion and resilience programming. In the shift from humanitarian relief to long-term development, the assessment aims to promote and inform the mainstreaming of a ‘Do No Harm’ approach in the response provided to conflict-affected populations residing in Jordanian host communities. Sectors assessed included: education, external support, healthcare, livelihoods, municipal services, shelter and water.

Green Corridor Development As an Approach for Environmental Sustainability in Jordan
European Journal of Sustainable Development (2019), 8, 3, 418-438 ISSN: 2239-5938 Doi: 10.14207/ejsd.2019.v8n3p418 Green Corridor Development as an Approach for Environmental Sustainability in Jordan Abdelfattah Al Masri1, Özge Özden2, Can Kara1 ABSTRACT The expansion of urban areas leads the loss of green spaces causing many environmental and economic problems. The infrastructure has been carried to the rural areas to deal with the needs of populations, reducing the green vegetation. This isolates one habitat area from other habitats and increases the fragmentation. A green corridor can connect fragmented habitats. Thus, this research aims to analyze and provide a green corridor in four different cities of Jordan. Through study some case studies, review of articles, researches, data collection, GIS, observations and maps derived from Jordanian ministries were used for the analysis of a green corridor in four cities in the northwest of Jordan. This research provides a comprehensive planning of the biogeographically areas, ecotourism sites and variety of vegetation in the protected areas of namely, Ajloun Forest Reserve and Dibben Forest Reserve, to link them in the biodiversity and conservation regions of the Al-Salt and north Amman, after identifying these diverse areas of vegetation cover and wildlife in each governorate. In addition, the research discusses ecological, environmental and economic effects of applying a green corridor as a sustainable city approach in Jordan. In other words, the purpose of this study is to suggest a sustainable proposal by analyzing green area zones and green corridor axes to improve the nature and the environment in Jordan. This proposal adapts urban areas with the establishment of green corridor connecting conservation areas in Jerash and Ajloun to Al-Salt and north of Amman.

My Trip to Jordan
My Trip to Jordan Whenever family and friends comment on my wanderlust, I’m compelled to remind them I’ve only been to 22 countries in my lifetime, and while that might seem like a high number to some it only constitutes about eleven percent of the world’s total. I think what impresses people most is the frequency of my travels, having been to 18 countries in just the last seven years. My seniority at the United States Postal Service allows me five weeks of vacation leave annually, and I try to utilize as much of this time for world travel as I can. What I seldom explain to people is why I’ve chosen the countries I have visited. For the most part I’ve been narrowing my selection process to include one of two basic criteria. Global warming aside, the world is changing rapidly. There have been fundamental societal shifts in the past three decades, facilitated in no small part by new technologies that have connected the people of this planet like never before, modernizing and shrinking the world all at the same time. For this reason I’ve focused much of my recent travels on those emerging countries that are quickly transforming themselves via technology and modern industry. In other words, I want to experience these cultures before even the most rural of villages acquires WiFi. I must admit, though, it is becoming harder and harder to find such places. The other basic consideration affecting my travel plans is a bit more drastic, based on dire geopolitical developments over the past fifteen years.
