Food Shortages 2024 Ukraine

Food Shortages 2024 Ukraine. Russia’s war in ukraine is preventing grain from leaving the “breadbasket of the world” and making food more expensive across the globe, threatening to worsen shortages,. While still very high, the number of food insecure people declined during 2023 by 1.6 million (down from an estimated 8.9 million in 2022), according to the 2024 humanitarian.

With far less ukrainian and russian grain and fertilizer entering global markets, experts fear that a bleak period of scarcer, pricier food will arrive this year. Russia’s invasion is having global consequences beyond destroying ukraine.
