Scorched Earth: Drought, Fertilizer Prices & the Global Food CrisisExtreme heat and drought are pushing farmers across Europe and the UK to the brink, damaging crops, destroying pastures, and forcing livestock producers to use winter feed months ahead of schedule. But climate stress is only half the problem.A potential conflict involving Iran and the United States could threaten the Strait of Hormuz—a critical global chokepoint for energy and fertilizer supply. Disruptions could send urea and phosphate prices soaring, creating an affordability crisis for farmers and driving down crop yields.With India particularly exposed to imported agricultural nutrients, the combination of drought, geopolitical instability, fragile supply chains, and rising input costs could trigger a new wave of global food inflation.How vulnerable is the global food system—and how close are we to a breaking point?#FoodCrisis #Agriculture #Drought #ClimateChange #FoodSecurity #FertilizerPrices #FoodInflation #Farmers #AgricultureCrisis #Geopolitics #Iran #StraitOfHormuz #GlobalFoodSecurity #ClimateCrisis #Farming
