Hunger, protests, conflict: global effects of Ukraine – Mauricio Meschoulam / El Universal (El Diaro) 

El Diaro (Spain) published an article stating that Ukraine and Russia produce 12 percent of the calories consumed in the world (IFPRI, 2022). Several countries depend on wheat, corn, barley, or other vital inputs such as fertilizers that they import from that region. The war in Ukraine is causing shortages and price increases in these items, which are added to the inflation that was already coming from before, in addition to the rise in energy prices.
