Fearonomics: can we fix the looming food crisis?

In its first episode Fearonomics: can we fix the looming food crisis? Jonathan Charles, EBRD’s Managing Director, Communications, will be discussing the most pressing issues with Sergei Guriev, EBRD former Chief Economist and professor of economics at Science Po and Beata Javorcik, EBRD’s Chief Economist (current) and also professor of Economics at Oxford University. They will explore a wide range of economic fears from global famine to energy security and the death of globalisation. In its first episode Fearonomics will be exploring whether the looming food crises is avoidable. Even before the war on Ukraine and the pandemic according to the United Nation’s Food and Agriculture Organisation, 690 million people or 9% of the world’s population, were already facing food insecurity and hunger. Now with Food Price Index reaching highest levels of all time, the consequences could be stark: from price hikes to social riots. Is there any way to avoid the catastrophe?
