Researchers hasten to forecast the continuing food shortages that many countries are currently experiencing. Several causes have contributed to the global shortage primarily caused by the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. 

Ukraine was the top exporter of grain and fertilizer in the world. Therefore, the war has disrupted global agriculture, as soaring fertilizer prices decrease trade and also grain production. It is predicted that Cereal, milk, corn, and butter are expected to become scarce on shelves. 

Food insecurities are the primary contributors to the decline of communities worldwide. The flourishing characteristics of a district can abruptly transform when a food shortage occurs. Nonetheless, there are many ways to restore the prosperity of a community.
