A look at food insecurity and agricultural trade around the world

Caitlin Welsh, director of the Global Food and Water Security Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), reviews global food insecurity, noting that malnourishment extends beyond just hotspot countries, potentially affecting over 40% of people worldwide. She discusses shocks that have affected food security and agricultural trade, such as Russia's invasion of Ukraine, COVID-19, and India's restriction on exports of rice in 2022, and also comments on foreign entities' purchases of agricultural land around the world.
