Conflict is a major cause of acute food insecurity, with hunger often resulting from a combination of actions and inactions over time. This can lead to various issues, including farmers being unable to reach their fields and markets being disrupted. Fuel shortages can affect irrigation and transport, while water and electricity systems may deteriorate, impacting production and storage.

Disruptions to digital connectivity can also exacerbate food insecurity by affecting supply chains and payment systems. Further details on the impact of conflict on food insecurity are available from the source, including a statement delivered by Elyse Mosquini on the topic.
