Based on a systematic literature review, this paper analyzes the food security challenges facing the world's three major staple crops and discusses the long-term impact of technological pathways such as agricultural innovation, international trade, and virtual water trade on the food supply chain.
In-depth analysis of the complexity of the global agricultural supply chain, exploring how enterprise-level resilience strategies (redundancy and flexibility) can cope with external shocks from climate change and geopolitics, and looking ahead at the role of AgriTech in building a sustainable food security system.
Systematic review of supply challenges for major global food crops (corn, rice, wheat), analyzing the role of agricultural innovation, international trade, and virtual water trade in maintaining global food security.
A latest analysis by Purdue University's Center for Commercial Agriculture points out that the energy supply shock triggered by the Iran conflict has a distinctly regressive character: transport costs, exchange rates, and export restrictions amplify it layer by layer, ultimately falling most heavily on the food systems of low-income countries.
A policy and practice review published in 2026 in Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems examined how climate shocks, armed conflict, and economic instability compound to weaken food systems in the Global South, and proposed five interrelated policy and practice pathways.
A Chatham House report shows that global food trade relies on a few key ports and shipping lanes, and extreme rainfall and rising sea levels are posing a serious threat.
Climate change has evolved from a distant threat into a present reality, reshaping agricultural production and disrupting global trade systems. This article, based on the views of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), analyzes the profound impacts of climate change on agriculture and global food supply chains, as well as the potential role of agricultural technology in adapting to this new normal.
Analyze the strategic role of food, water resources, and fertilizer supply in the Iran conflict from the perspective of agricultural science and technology, and explore how technology can enhance the resilience of food systems.
Purdue University analysis shows that the energy shock caused by the Iran conflict poses a disproportionate threat to food security in low-income countries. Factors such as transportation costs, food expenditure shares, and scarcity in global markets place the heaviest burden on the most vulnerable groups.
As climate change, conflict, economic recession, and recurring pandemics intertwine, the global food system is under unprecedented pressure. A policy review by a Malawi research team systematically analyzes the pathways through which multiple crises impact food sovereignty in the Global South and proposes a five-part action framework for building resilient food systems.
A new study quantifies the cascading impacts of the Russia-Ukraine war on global food and energy trade, finding that amplification effects in financial markets have heightened food security risks, offering new directions for the development of agricultural technology.
This article analyzes, based on NOAA predictions, how the El Niño phenomenon affects global agricultural output through complex mechanisms, thereby driving up food prices, and explores its potential impacts on food security, international trade, and the development of agricultural technology.
Global hunger is becoming increasingly severe, as climate change, conflict, and economic recession compound one another, eroding the resilience of food systems. The latest policy commentary proposes that building sustainable food systems requires a re-examination of food sovereignty and the adoption of cross-sectoral action.
The latest climate forecast indicates that a potentially record-breaking El Niño event is brewing, raising concerns about crop yields, food prices, and global trade flows.
Despite facing challenges such as El Niño, biosecurity, and infrastructure, South Africa's agriculture is still regarded as a core driver of economic growth and employment. The article analyzes how digitalization, precision agriculture, and other technologies can help enhance resilience from the perspective of agricultural technology.
The latest FAO report on the State of Agricultural Commodity Markets points out that increasingly frequent shocks pose challenges to global food trade, and strengthening trade networks, reducing export restrictions, and international cooperation are key to enhancing resilience.
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development jointly released the "Agricultural Outlook 2026-2035", pointing out that three major trends—growing demand from emerging economies, diversification of dietary structures, and China's role shift—will profoundly impact agricultural trade and agri-tech investment directions in the next decade.
Facing an 80% probability of El Niño occurrence, institutions from Mexico and multiple Central American countries gathered together to formulate response strategies, focusing on early warning, agricultural resilience, and food security.
A new report reveals the compounded impacts of climate change on agriculture in the northeastern United States, including crop losses, supply chain disruptions, and a mental health crisis among farmers, and calls for the establishment of a more comprehensive disaster response system.
A latest review examines the threats of climate conflict and trade disruptions to staple crops, and outlines a roadmap for enhancing food security through policy and technology.
Against the backdrop of global trade frictions, climate pressures, and food security concerns intertwining, local agriculture is being redefined. This article analyzes from the perspectives of agricultural technology and global supply chains how these external forces affect farm operations, technology adoption, and long-term industry structure.
