Many countries in the world are facing a food crisis. What is the reason?

1, the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic?

The impact of the COVID-19 epidemic not only caused the global economy to shrink, but also led to a sharp decrease in food production and food exports, because before that, the COVID-19 epidemic blocked the borders of all countries, making it impossible for food to be exported and only circulated in the country.

At the same time, due to the impact of the epidemic, many farmers no longer go to the fields to farm. Secondly, during the epidemic, European countries didn't think of hoarding rice and grain at home, but bought paper towels, which shows that they didn't care too much about grain. ?

2. What's the impact of the locust plague? .

The impact of this locust plague is very serious, and many areas in the Middle East have been affected, resulting in food shortages. Because locusts multiply in these areas and then destroy the crops there, even though the government has tried many ways to eliminate the locust plague, it still doesn't work.

Because these locusts reproduce more happily than usual in summer, although their life span is short, their reproductive ability is too strong, which makes the locust population grow bigger and bigger and gradually spread to other areas. Wherever they went, the local food was completely destroyed.

3. Extreme climate impact?

The extreme weather this summer is really much more than in previous years. Due to global warming, extreme weather appears more frequently. Recently, there have been many extreme climates around the world, such as floods caused by heavy rains, and geological disasters such as landslides or mudslides have also been caused by floods.

Sometimes the weather temperature is too high, which leads to forest fires. Because there are many lightning strikes in summer, many people in India die from lightning strikes. These extreme climates will affect crops. For example, floods will flood crops in nearby villages, resulting in crop failures of hundreds or millions of hectares.
