Global food insecurity has been thrust into the news yet again with Russia’s war in Ukraine. Ukraine and Russia are large global producers of wheat, maize (corn), and barley. The conflict not only threatens the lives of those in Ukraine and Ukrainian refugees, but also threatens the global food supply and risks compounding hunger crises. We speak to William Lambers, author, journalist, and advocate, about the interconnectedness of domestic and global hunger and how we all can be better advocates for eradicating hunger both at home and abroad.
