Covid, climate, conflict and costs - four challenges give rise to a number of important questions, which this webinar will address. Welcome to an international webinar on the 4th of May, coordinated by professor Kostas Karantininis at the departement of people and society!
The COVID-19 crisis came on top of the food security challenges that were created by conflicts and climate; these three factors- known as the 3cs: covid, climate and conflict were significant enough to reverse the long-term downward trend in the number of undernourished people.
The already complex situation is aggravated by a fourth challenge - a fourth c: rising costs for food production. Higher prices for fuel and fertilizer are boosting food production costs, lifting food prices to new all-time highs.
