Food banks respond to food crisis as Russia’s war against Ukraine continues (Food Tank) 

May 02, 2022


Food Tank published an article stating concerns that as Russia’s war on Ukraine continues, food banks in Ukraine and across Europe are working to provide food aid for those under siege. 

According to IFPRI (see the IFPRI blog post, How will Russia’s invasion of Ukraine affect global food security?) Russia and Ukraine produce about 12 percent of all food calories traded worldwide and are among the top five exporters of several cereals and oilseeds, like wheat, barley, sunflowers, and maize, but because of the war in Ukraine, millions of Ukrainians may face food insecurity.
