News18 Hindi · india

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has warned of a potential global food crisis in the coming months. He cited three major shocks: the ongoing Ukraine conflict, rising tensions in West Asia, and the strong impact of El Niño. These factors have disrupted global food and fertilizer supply chains, disproportionately affecting developing nations. Additionally, a fourth silent crisis involves investors withdrawing funds from the Global South. El Niño's intensifying effects are predicted to cause severe weather events, impacting crop cycles in Asia and Southern Africa.
