Crushed by war and world conflicts.
Conflicts increase the risk of food supply instability tremendously (Figure
31). Countries in conflict and post-conflict situations tend to be food
insecure, with more than 20% of the population, and in many cases far more,
lacking access to adequate food (IFPRI, 2006). The group of countries that
are experiencing civil conflicts cannot meet their basic needs and are
large importers of food. In addition, the transport of commodities is hazardous
and the situation is not secure enough for farmers to make investment decisions.
