German economist: World hunger may affect up to 100 million people in 2023

The disruption of supply chains due to the situation in Ukraine may result in a shortage of fertilizers and farmers may have problems with growing enough crops.

“We will face one of the biggest food crises in the history of mankind in 2023,” Senior Vice President for Public Affairs, Science and Sustainability at Bayer AG Matthias Berninger was quoted as saying by RIA Novosti. 

German economist Matin Qaim has the same opinion. He thinks that world hunger will affect up to 100 million people next year. 

Executive Director for the UN World Food Program David Beasley said that large-scale migration flows will start due to food shortages.
