War

As globalization comes to an end there is a danger that certain countries will suffer food shortages. These are countries like China that rely heavily on food imports. It will be especially critical to poor African countries many that are already in trouble. Aggravating the situation is the war in Ukraine. This has slowed the exports of agricultural products and important fertilizers like potash, phosphate and nitrogen. The sooner this war ends the quicker these important products can be back on the market. If changes are not made then it will not only be the Ukrainians who are dying but many others in Africa who will not have enough food to survive. North America is self sufficient in food and energy with little need for imports so there will be no direct harm to people in the US
