1. What can be said about the impact of Russia and Ukraine's war on the global food system?
Directions (1-9): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below them.
There is widespread international concern that Russia's war will provoke a global food crisis similar to, or
worse than, that faced in 2007 and 2008. The war comes at a time when the global food system was already
struggling to feed its growing population in a sustainable way, under the pressure caused by climate change
and the Covid-19 pandemic. Russia and Ukraine are key agricultural players, together exporting nearly 12
% of food calories traded globally. They are major providers of basic agro-commodities, including wheat,
maize and sunflower oil, and Russia is the world's top exporter of fertilisers. The global supply chain will
get impacted until Russia and Ukraine retreat and will end the war.
The war's impact on global food supply centred on three factors. First is a significant reduction in exports
and production of essential commodities from both countries, caused by the war and not the economic
sanctions imposed on Russia, which, intentionally, did not target the agricultural sector. Overall, the
European Commission estimates that 'up to 25 million tonnes of wheat would need to be substituted to
meet worldwide food needs in the current and the next season. Second factor is a global spike in prices of
food supplies and inputs needed for agri-food production, which were already at record levels before the
war. The war has further pushed the prices up. Third factor is the international response to the above,
which could either amplify the effects of the crisis (mainly by uncoordinated export bans) or mitigate them
(applying lessons learnt from the 2007-2008 food crisis). A number of countries, other than Russia and
Ukraine, have already imposed or announced their intention to impose some control over exports of
essential agricultural commodities, including Egypt, Argentina, Indonesia, Serbia, Turkey and, in the EU,
Hungary. We should keep this in our mind that the long duration of war will make the global situation
irrecoverable
