The UN has issued a warning that millions could face hunger in the coming months due to rising energy prices and fertilizer costs, exacerbated by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has significantly impacted these prices, similar to the effects seen after Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022. To mitigate future food insecurity, experts propose several strategies. Firstly, transitioning to green ammonia, produced using renewable energy, could lessen reliance on fossil fuels for fertilizer. Secondly, governments should rethink food stockpiling methods, moving towards a longer-term approach that includes essential supplies like fertilizers and pesticides. Thirdly, shifting dietary habits towards more plant-based foods can enhance food security and reduce carbon emissions. Finally, accelerating the electrification of transport could free up land currently used for biofuel crops, allowing for increased food production. While these changes require significant political and commercial commitment, they present an opportunity to create a more resilient food system capable of withstanding future disruptions.
