Global environmental impacts of food system from regional shock: | ResearchBunny

Index

Abstract

This paper examines the global food shortages caused by the Russia-Ukraine conflict and quantifies the embodied environmental impacts of disrupted and alternative food supply chains. A novel framework simulates the global social-ecological system, revealing a short-term decrease in cropland use and greenhouse gas emissions followed by a postwar increase. Optimized food supply networks, prioritizing agricultural expansion in high-efficiency countries, can mitigate these environmental impacts.
