According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Ukraine produces about 10% of global wheat exports and 14% of corn exports, in addition to about half of all sunflower oil and a substantial amount of barley and fertilizers. Due to the Russian invasion, much of these supplies are now trapped in both countries, driving up food prices and upending our global food system.

This episode, originally aired live in March 2022, brought in leading food expert and GAIN executive director Lawrence Haddad to share his expectations and predictions for how the unfolding war will affect global food supplies, nutrition and security in the short and long term.
