The global consequences of the war in Ukraine are becoming increasingly clear and show  how closely interlinked and interdependent global supply chains are. Putin is deliberately using the prevention of grain deliveries from Ukraine, Europe's breadbasket, as a means of exerting pressure - with fatal consequences for countries in the global South.

How will prices develop in the long term? What does this mean for dealing with hunger? What long-term strategies can help to ensure food security?
