The Economic Impact of Wars and International Conflicts on Global Food Supplies - The Case of the Russo-Ukrainian War

Abstract

This paper examines the Economic impact of Wars and International Conflicts on global food supplies. The case of the Russo-Ukrainian war serves as a prime example, as wars negatively affect global food supplies by disrupting agricultural production, increasing food prices, and heightening the risks of food insecurity. The Russian-Ukrainian war exemplifies these detrimental effects. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the war's impact on global food supplies by examining the contributing factors and evaluating the consequences.
Furthermore, it is crucial to shed light on one of the most significant challenges currently facing global food security: the impact of the Russian-Ukrainian war. This conflict disrupts food and grain exports from Ukraine and Russia, two of the world's largest food suppliers.
The study employs a descriptive analytical method, utilizing relevant literature and statistical data analysis. The study concludes that the Russo-Ukrainian war has exacerbated the global food security crisis by causing food shortages, high food prices, and increasing the risks of food insecurity in many countries. Therefore, urgent measures are necessary to address this global crisis. These measures could involve increasing agricultural production and supporting the countries most affected by the crisis.
