Factcheck: Can a world at conflict still feed itself?
Scientists say yes. But the food system has to change. Geopolitical conflicts are disrupting lives, economies, and access to food. Most recently, supply chain interruptions threaten to cut off millions of farmers’ access fertilizers, and consumers’ immediate and long-term access to food. In fragile contexts, these disruptions compound with climate risks to exacerbate root causes of tensions and conflict.
