The global food and economic crisis heightened inequalities and vulnerabilities in a world still confronting the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the effect of the ongoing climate change. The ramifications of the conflict between the Russian Federation and Ukraine has had major implications for food security and diets across the world, given both countries’ key roles in global food markets and the Russian Federation’s prominence in global energy trade. In this context, food system resilience is crucial to maintain or adapt its functions in the face of shocks, and ultimately for system sustainability. Through a series of key indicators, this brief describes how the food system has been affected by this ongoing crisis, provides an overview of its resilience and potential opportunities for building resilience further.
