Thought I'd finished posting here today, when I go onto another forum and see Russia, ... after the grain ships were being used as means to launch attacks on Crimea, and how the grain was mainly going to rich countries like the EU, and not the poor as the deal was supposed to, decided to cut the grain deal and then ... target the economic infrastructure of Ukraine. So 60,000 tonnes of grain has just gone up in smoke. Which, because much of that grain was going to the EU, means the price of everything made from wheat is going up.
As my previous post pointed out, there have been other moves by the EU and others to limit global food production. The only good thing, is that rising CO2 has globally increased yields. The other is that we in the UK are generally rich enough to afford food even if prices rise substantially ... but there are many for whom that is a life-denying change.
