What is food security? (State Department) 

July 18, 2022


State Department’s (Stories) published a blog post on what food security is. Having enough safe and nutritious food to eat. According to IFPRI, almost a third of the world’s wheat exports and 60 percent of the world’s sunflower oil exports come from Russia and Ukraine. For every 100 calories’ worth of food traded around the world, 12 come from Russia and Ukraine. The article concluded by writing, The Kremlin continues to wage a war of disinformation, spreading non-stop lies about the true cause of global food insecurity. Instead of serving up more lies, the Russian government should stop weaponizing food and allow Ukraine to once again feed millions of hungry people around the world.
