Global Food Security In The Context Of International Crises The Russian-Ukrainian War As a Case Study

Abstract

This study examines the impact of the Russian–Ukrainian war on global food security, highlighting its effects on food supply chains, prices, and agricultural production. As major exporters of grains, vegetable oils, and fertilizers, disruptions in Russia and Ukraine led to reduced food availability, rising global prices, and increased food insecurity, particularly in food-importing and developing countries. Using data from international organizations, the research shows that the crisis exposed the fragility of global food systems and the risks of dependence on limited suppliers. The study concludes that strengthening food security requires diversified supply sources, strategic food reserves, resilient logistics, and enhanced international cooperation to better withstand future global crises.
