The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization has said that the Russo-Ukrainian war has caused a massive decline in global food security. Many countries, especially those that are less developed, rely on grain and cooking oil sourced from Ukraine and Russia for a large portion of their food supply. With the ongoing war continuing for the foreseeable future predictions say that food prices could rise between 8 and 22 percent in 2022-2023. Reports also predict that the number of people who are undernourished could rise by between 8 and 13 million people. Estimates range from low to high depending on how long the conflict will last and the time it takes to resume food exports. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is an important development because it illustrates how the Russo-Ukrainian war has affected the world outside of Russia and Ukraine and gives a different perspective of the effects on the world from this conflict. Global food security is not the only way that the rest of the world has been affected by the war. With sanctions on Russian industries other sectors like Aluminum and steel have been affected as well as the other major sector being energy. With sanctions on energy, countries are being forced to look to alternatives to Russian coal and oil for energy production. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This article relates to this class because it perfectly highlights how when one or two countries are removed from the global economy, it creates massive shortages for the entire world. This is shown best by the challenges faced by many Middle Eastern and African countries who are facing food security issues due to no longer being able to get grain and cooking oil from Ukraine and Russia. Another example of this is countries, especially in Europe, having to seek alternative energy sources after Russian energy companies were sanctioned, turning to places like South Africa to supply coal. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
