Experts warn that Strait of Hormuz fertilizer and fuel blockage could lead to a global food crisis

Enviado por Ronnie Hall el

One third of synthetic fertilizers and one quarter of the world’s seaborne oil trade pass through the Strait of Hormuz every day - two essential inputs for the industrial food chain.
The escalating conflict in the Middle East is setting alarm bells ringing once again, and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz is already shaking global trade. Food production and prices could be next.

 

According to experts from ETC Group (Action Group on Erosion, Technology and Concentration), the commercial food model is so vulnerable that this blockage could drive up food prices, leading to a global food crisis. Researchers are therefore issuing an urgent call to strengthen local food systems based on food sovereignty and agroecology.

Impresiones del Grupo ETC en Kandy

El proceso Nyéléni, nacido hace casi dos décadas
como una confluencia de movimientos campesinos,
indígenas, feministas y urbanos, ha vuelto a encontrarse,
esta vez en Kandy, Sri Lanka, para dar un paso más:
acordar una Agenda Política Común que articule luchas
diversas frente a las múltiples crisis del capitalismo global.
Esa agenda, lejos de ser un listado de demandas, se
constituye en un mapa político que expresa la madurez
de un movimiento internacional que no se limita a resistir,
sino que imagina y construye alternativas sistémicas.
