Global food insecurity was already an issue. Years of heightened climate change cut global production by about 20%. Then, a war happened. Russia and Ukraine together normally account for almost a third of the global production of wheat and are the main providers of barley, sunflowers, and maize. Human Rights Watch has warned that many countries have seen disruptions in their imports of wheat, but also fertilizer, vegetable oils, and other key commodities. Let’s add to that the rising cost of fuel to transport the food. According to the World Food Program, as a result of the expounding crises, global hunger may increase to up to 20%.

Altamar hosts Peter Schechter and Muni Jensen are joined Jack Nicas, the Brazil bureau chief for The New York Times. Altamar’s ‘Téa’s Take’ by Téa Ivanovic delves into Russia’s invasion of Ukraine exacerbating food shortages.
