Crushed by war and world conflicts
Click here, or on the graphic, for full resolution. Crushed by war and world conflicts. Conflicts increase the risk of food supply instability tremendously
(Figure 31). Countries in conflict and post-conflict
situations tend to be food insecure, with more than
20% of the population, and in many cases far more, lacking
access to adequate food (IFPRI, 2006). The group of
countries that are experiencing civil conflicts cannot meet
their basic needs and are large importers of food. In addition,
the transport of commodities is hazardous and the
situation is not secure enough for farmers to make investment
decisions.
