Russia-Ukraine War: Impacts on World Food Security

Abstract

This study focuses on Russia-Ukraine war, and its potential effects at global food supply. The exports from Russia-Ukraine region account for major food imports by poor nations of the world in the regions like Africa and Middle East. Climate change and Covid-19 effects already made these regions food deficient which triggered food inflation. This war has further eroded their ability to afford food because of erosion of global supply due to this conflict and increase in demand by the developed world. This is a qualitative study which relies on reports and articles in the researched area. This study concludes that conflict environment have the potential of luring people to unlawful activities and civil wars. A stable global order requires rule-based uninterrupted supply of food to the food deficient regions.
