The world has about 10 weeks of wheat supplies stored as Russia's invasion of Ukraine enters its fourth month, a food insecurity expert told the UN.

Sara Menker, the CEO of agriculture analytics firm Gro Intelligence, told the UN Security Council that the Russia-Ukraine war was not the cause of a food security crisis but "simply added fuel to a fire that was long burning."

Ukraine is considered the world's "breadbasket" and Russia and Ukraine combined account for almost a third of the world's wheat exports.

It’s part of their anti suicide focus.

Is that a BS degree or PhD like dr. jill?

Whether undergraduate or postgraduate, believe me, it'd be a BS degree :-)

Preferred winter wheat harvest in the US is mostly JUN-JUL-AUG.

Clear he knows nothing about farming

[Hammerhead]

Please with this nonsense

Like no other country on the planet grows wheat? What about other greens? What about other carbohydrates?

So I guess people that are wheat intolerant always starve to death?

All so utterly ludicrous.

[Hammerhead]

Lol

Thank you. So Ukraine only produces eight. 5% of the grain on the planet and the rest of the planet is going to starve to death?! LOL

[Leep]

Guess we better go to war with Russia..although,gobal warming.

That’s exports not total production. But there are countries that are almost entirely dependent on imports.

So between Russia and Ukraine, that’s over 20% of the world’s exports. Add to that the fertilizer shortage and droughts that will be affecting harvests in other countries, and yes, there probably is going to be some starving in the poorer countries.

Maybe bacon will get cheaper as they can’t afford to feed the pigs and take them to market.

But But But Soylent Green will be plentiful.

[rellic]

got lots of wild pigs where I live.
Getting the bacon smoked is the chore.

Cheerios is made of oats.

Where are you shopping? Here in Richmond Virginia, we don’t have prices that high.

Seriously, how do Liberals have the ability to keep making this Sh!t up?
