Introduction

Russia's invasion of Ukraine is having big, and potentially long-lasting impacts on the global supplies of food and energy. Saad Rahim, Chief Economist at Trafigura, talks about the oil and gas markets, and David Laborde Debucquet of the International Food Policy Research Institute assesses the impact on food supplies and prices, and what policymakers need to do. We also hear from David Beasley, head of the United Nations World Food Programme, on how the crisis has immediate repercussions for hungry people all over the world.
