the Russia-Ukraine conflict is driving up global wheat prices. In turn, this could lead to millions going hungry.

Scaremongering really as the countries who buy Russian wheat (Egypt, Turkey and Bangladesh) aren't the ones taking part in the sanctions. Besides, countries like India and China can buy it and sell it on as well.

Brilliant show today. Interesting story about Fritz Haber. Tragic family problems didn't end with his wife's suicide. He also committed suicide, and then his daughter, who dedicated herself to developing an antidote to the chlorine gas her father created, also killed herself.

Had no idea Russia was the world’s largest exporter of wheat.
I thought they consumed most of their own production. And countries like the US & Cada were larger exporters, tho not in total volume.
Guess I was wrong. That is very bad news.
