Abstract

As this is written in mid-September 2022, the world is facing a potential food crisis worse than any since World War II. With a devastating war in Ukraine launched by Russia in late February 2022, a historic drought and heat wave in China, and an uneven monsoon in South Asia, food supplies from several of the world’s largest granaries are highly uncertain at best, and genuinely scary at worst. What should we do?
