May 18, 2022


Devex Dish published an op-ed describing a comment made by the WFP’s Executive Director who sai, distilling the urgency of the global food crisis into a simple message like only David Beasley can: “Right now the house is burning down. We’ve got to make certain we put the fire out before the entire world is on fire.” The 2022 Global Food Policy Report on how food systems are “inseparably linked” to the climate change crisis. Channing Arndt, a lead editor of the Report said, “The world wheat market really doesn’t care why exactly Ukrainian wheat is not being exported from Odesa. It could be because of a terrible drought or … a terrible war.”
