🛒🌾 Climate change has become one of the most pressing challenges in the world.
The IPCC-6 report released in August 2021 indicated that a minimum of 2 degrees of warming is inevitable. As a result, the COP-26 conference in Glasgow in November 2021 generated immense public interest.
In the face of climate change and land and water scarcity, world food security now features prominently on the agenda and global agriculture no longer appears sustainable.
The most acute challenges include decertify cation and massive droughts impacting large areas in the Sahel and Asia, including Afghanistan. They shrink range and arable land, fuel conflicts and can cause widespread famine and food shortages in entire countries. This will increase migration flows and cause humanitarian disasters.

🌾🌐 Unfortunately, the global goal of ending hunger by 2030 is unprecedentedly elusive.
The global food crisis grew during the last decade as a result of climate change and global population growth.
The Covid-19 crisis deepened it. The pandemic had already caused mass layoffs and closures, as well as prompted massive dislocation among small businesses.
The “US+” economic procedures against Russia exacerbated it and overthrew all hopes of containing it. Russia is a pivotal country in the supply chains of grain, raw materials and energy sources.
The whole world is suffering because of the “US+” economic procedures against Russia, writes Valdai Club expert Nourhan ElSheikh.
