- Iran war and Ukraine-Russia conflict are creating a “multidirectional squeeze on world agriculture” that a new report says could spiral into a crisis.
- Extreme weather is colliding with wars to threaten global food supplies and drive up prices, especially in vulnerable economies.
Why it matters: For vulnerable economies, the material issue is the combined exposure: the report identifies two conflict theaters—Iran and Ukraine-Russia—alongside extreme weather, explicitly tying all three pressures to threatened global food supplies and higher prices across world agriculture, rather than separate shocks.
