Impacts of the Russia-Ukraine War on Global Food Security: Towards More Sustainable and Resilient Food Systems?
Abstract
:1. Introduction
2. Overview of the War’s Immediate and Long-Term Impacts
2.1. Immediate Impacts of the War on Food Security
2.2. Indirect Impacts of the War on Food Security
3. The Impact of the Ukraine Crisis on the Global Agri-Food Markets
3.1. Impact of the War on the Global Cereals Market
3.2. Impacts of the War on the Global Vegetable Oil Market
3.3. Impact of the War on the Global Fertilizer Market
4. Conclusion: Towards More Sustainable and Resilient Food Systems
- Invest in real-time analyses: real-time monitoring of food and input price volatility, together with country-specific evaluations of food security threats from price shocks and trade restrictions, provides insights into effective global and national policy responses;
- Scrutinize market interventions: for instance, farmers might get subsidies or lower taxes on goods such as fertilizer and energy;
- Do not worsen the situation: learning from the 2007–2008 food price crisis, governments should refrain from restricting exports, imposing sanctions that impede food and fertilizer commerce, stockpiling, or panic purchasing, and scrapping environmental initiatives;
- Target short-term actions: short-term solutions that have proved effective in prior crises and seem relevant now include eliminating biofuel subsidies and mandates, extending social safety nets to the most disadvantaged, and fixing inefficiencies in current subsidies (such as bread subsidies in Egypt and Tunisia);
- Make long-term investments in climate-friendly agriculture research: knowledge and innovation in agriculture not only contribute significantly to food security and sustainability, but they are also critical to attaining the several SDG 2 goals of eliminating hunger, achieving food security and improving nutrition, and promoting sustainable agriculture [94];
- Capitalize on promising innovations and scale them up: satellite and remote sensing photos and data may help farmers optimize their use of inputs such as fertilizer, and scientists monitor the spread of pests and diseases; and
- Invest in policy research: countries, multilateral organizations, and donors must dedicate resources not just to agricultural science but also to research on the optimal policies, programs, and interventions that might increase resilience.
