FOOD INSECURITY IN THE CONTEXT OF THE RUSSIA – UKRAINE CONFLICT
Abstract
The Russia-Ukraine war has several detrimental socioeconomic effects that are currently being felt internationally and could get worse, especially for global food security. The war is a confrontation between two significant agricultural powers. The food situation will get worse if the war continues, which will be difficult for many nations, especially those that depend on food imports, such as those in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. As a result of supply chain disruptions brought on by the COVID-19 epidemic, high global demand, and subpar harvests in some nations, food prices were already high when the war broke out.This study looks into the direct and collateral effects of the Russia-Ukraine conflict on world food security. The study emphasises how the war had immediate and extensive cascading effects on global food security.
