The recent wheat price crisis is an extreme case of recent record high agricultural commodity & food prices. What's the role of commodity futures exchanges in #foodsecurity?

First, you normalize the idea of a crisis. Then, you push for false solutions.

What we see in food systems is outcome of decades of political choices. What will happen is consequence of political choices. Food is politics and must be discussed as such.

National Gene Bank of Plants of Ukraine destroyed by the Russian army 🧬🌱

It kept more than 160 thousand varieties of plant seeds, and hybrids of agricultural crops, including some of those that no longer exist in Europe, and in the entire world. https://odessa-journal.com/the-invaders-destroyed-the-national-gene-bank-of-plants-of-ukraine/

At the center of this #foodcrisis is the precarious fact that the production of the world’s 3 staple crops is concentrated in a small number of countries, shipped around the world by a handful of trading firms, grown from a narrow range of seed varieties

Will #NewGMOs reduce pesticide use? ... NO!

The evidence is clear. Some new GM crops are even designed to increase the use of pesticides.

Usare le foreste per produrre energia non è sostenibile neanche se l'area di tagliata torna ad essere un bosco.

It's not the trade ban that makes the world population food insecure. It's the use of 40% of world grains as feed, burning billions of bushels as biofuels, wasting 30%, allowing speculation on food, having pushed dependency on intl value chains rather than regional food systems.

RT @IATPEurope
Though it's world’s 2nd largest producer of wheat, India consumes most of it. It had set a goal of exporting 10m tonnes of it in 2022-23, looking to capitalise on disruption to wheat supplies from the war and find new markets in Europe, Africa and Asia... https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/may/14/india-bans-all-wheat-exports-food-security-risk?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other
