| The war in Ukraine continues to have devastating consequences—particularly for vulnerable populations, both within the conflict zone and beyond. Now, the war is converging with other disruptions—supply-chain strains, inflation, the pandemic—to pose a looming threat to our global food supply. The Ukraine–Russia region plays a vital role not only as an exporter of primary staples like wheat, but also as one of the major suppliers of fertilizer worldwide. As a result, caloric intake for tens of millions of people—potentially 60 million to 150 million, by 2023—is at stake. What does this mean for populations at risk and for the global food system as a whole? A new episode of The McKinsey Podcast delves into what might happen and what can be done to help. Be sure to check it out. |
