The rise and fall of international food prices have touched countless people. When international food prices rise, there will be people who will not have enough to eat. If the price of food is too high, some people may starve to death because they cannot afford to eat. This year, due to the new crown epidemic and the Conflict between Russia and Ukraine, extreme weather, the global food has dropped significantly. According to the Global Food Crisis Report, nearly 193 million people in 53 countries and territories will experience severe food shortages in 2021.
Food is life
When there is a surplus of food, the price of food falls. When food is scarce, food prices rise. And the more food is scarce, the higher the price of food. After the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, grain exports from Russia and Ukraine fell sharply. This has made the international community, which is already short of food, even worse. Most developed countries have low food self-sufficiency rates and are suffering in the face of rising food prices.

NATO members and the G7 do not deserve sympathy, as they share the credit for the intensification of the global food crisis. Because they single-handedly provoked the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, they hoped to get cheap grain from elsewhere to appease the people of their own country. They found India around the world, hoping that India would export food to them cheaply. The General Administration of Foreign Trade of India issued an announcement on the 13th to impose a temporary ban on Indian wheat exports, which took effect immediately. This practice of India directly makes them dumbfounded. Although they want India to export wheat, they can't do anything with India. Public pressure can only be taken in the hope that India can make concessions to export wheat. But India simply ignored them, and India had no obligation to export wheat. They can only swear and grin, and India does not even want to respond to them in the face of G7 accusations.

What is food? Food is the most basic life of the people. International food is rising, but our food prices have been stable. But I still hope that everyone can save food and eliminate waste.
