The February 2022 invasion of Ukraine triggered trade disruptions and significant increases in international energy, agricultural commodities, and fertilizer prices, which were already elevated due to the impacts of COVID-19 and the value chain disruptions caused by the pandemic. Although global food and fertilizer prices have receded from their peak levels, they remain high compared to pre-Covid levels, contributing to high domestic food price inflation in many low- and middle-income countries. This special blog series, edited by IFPRI Director General and Managing Director of CGIAR’s Systems Transformation Science Group, Johan Swinnen, and IFPRI Senior Research Fellow Joseph Glauber aims to shed light on the continuing repercussions of the Ukrainian war and other factors exacerbating food price inflation and food insecurity, and to provide in-depth analysis and propose policy responses that can enhance the resilience of national and global food systems.
