Abstract

The global war has disrupted trade, production, and consumption, leading to increased commodity prices and a threat to global food security. The article examines the long-term consequences of the war on global food and environmental security, focusing on disruptions in food markets and infrastructure destruction. The study utilizes the FAOSTAT database and food security indicators to assess the state of food security in Russia and Ukraine from 2010 to 2021. The results reveal numerous negative direct and indirect effects on food and environmental security, with the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) being among the most affected regions. Prior to the Russian invasion in February 2022, Ukraine was a major grain exporter to the MENA region. However, the war caused extreme volatility in food insecurity. Among the key consequences of the war, it should be mentioned about the decrease in the volume of production of agricultural products in Ukraine due to the reduction of cultivated areas as a result of blockades and destruction, which led to export restrictions, and loss of producers’ income. The countries of the Global South are most vulnerable to the food crisis (Turkey, Egypt, Georgia, Tunisia, Morocco, Libya), given the significant import dependence on Ukraine and the significant increase in product prices. The war has also resulted in pollution of water and land resources, air contamination, supply and sewage problems, and deteriorating sanitary conditions.

俄乌战争对全球粮食和环境安全的影响
全球战争扰乱了贸易、生产和消费,导致商品价格上涨,对全球粮食安全构成威胁。本文考察了这场战争对全球粮食和环境安全的长期影响,重点关注粮食市场的中断和基础设施的破坏。该研究利用粮农组织统计数据库和粮食安全指标评估了2010年至2021年俄罗斯和乌克兰的粮食安全状况。研究结果显示,粮食和环境安全受到许多直接和间接的负面影响,中东和北非是受影响最严重的地区之一。在2022年2月俄罗斯入侵之前,乌克兰是中东和北非地区的主要粮食出口国。然而,战争造成粮食不安全的极端动荡。在战争的主要后果中,应该提到的是,由于封锁和破坏导致出口限制和生产者收入损失,耕地面积减少,乌克兰农产品产量减少。全球南方国家最容易受到粮食危机的影响(土耳其、埃及、格鲁吉亚、突尼斯、摩洛哥、利比亚),因为这些国家严重依赖乌克兰的进口,而且产品价格大幅上涨。战争还造成了水和土地资源的污染、空气污染、供应和污水问题以及卫生条件的恶化。
