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.

This can't be true. John McCain taught me that Russia is just a gas station with nukes.

ROFL what a load of obama! Wheat and grain is coming primarily from the S America or Asia. These WEF globalist muppets couldnt even lie with a straight face.

[Seruzawa]

Wait. The Ukraine is the only country in the world that grows wheat?

That's an old term. I think I first heard "food insecurity" at least 20 years ago.

Of the top eleven wheat producing nations China is the only Asian country making the list, at number two behind Canada. The USA is number ten. No South American country is up there.

Of the top eight grain producers, China is at the top with India right behind. The United States is number three. Again no Latin American countries make the list.

Ukraine and Russia are on both lists, but not at the top.

Likely a term developed by the aristocratic community that cares for us chattel-humans.

Southern Hemisphere is approach harvest... northern hemisphere is a few months away... hmm, this must be the annual low point.

I think it is a healthcare thing.

Food insecurity. Housing insecurity.

The VA doc ask if you have any concerns about food over the next 12 months. Or fear you won’t have a roof over your head. The box they check is labeled food insecurity or housing insecurity.

It’s part of their anti suicide focus. Very common among veterans.

THey said that 3 weeks ago, which means there should only be 7 weeks left.

“One large box of Cheerios $8.00”

Cheerios are made of oats, not wheat.
