Recommendation
The pandemic, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and climate change have conspired to create a far-reaching, long-lasting global food crisis, according to a team of Business Insider reporters who investigated conditions in 13 locations worldwide for this daunting, admirable series of reports. In short, they explain the factors that disrupted supply chains and caused shortages in fertilizer, as well as grains and other staples. Climate change also has increased food-system vulnerability, reducing crop yields and affecting livestock and fisheries. Although the global food crisis especially affects developing nations and low-income people everywhere, everyone should be concerned because it could ravage regional economies and cause social unrest.
