Russia/Ukraine conflict further threatens precarious global food security – World Bank

What had already been a tenuous global food security circumstance prior to the onset of the Russia/Ukraine conflict is likely to grow worse and poor countries in the western hemisphere that had been facing food shortages long prior to the outbreak of the hostilities are now likely to be thrown into “the eye of the storm” according to a recent World Bank Assessment.
 In its February 28 update of an earlier global food security assessment, the World Bank noted that the Russia/Ukraine conflict had been ignited even as many countries were already “facing growing levels of food insecurity, reversing years of development gains, and threatening the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.”
