The Spiraling Global Food Crisis and Russia's War
Description
With richly fertile soil and easy access to international markets, Ukraine has been called the breadbasket of Europe. Following Russia's invasion, the country's grain exports have plummeted, leading to worldwide food price increases of 23 percent and hundreds of thousands facing starvation in the Middle East and Africa. As a global hunger crisis soars, food security experts Ertharin Cousin and Teresa Welsh join Deep Dish to dissect the root causes of modern food insecurity and analyze actions we must take to protect the world's most vulnerable populations.
