Another interesting fact: the grain deal between Ukraine and Russia that was supposed to alleviate hunger in the poorest of African countries led to the import of almost 800K ton of grains to the Netherlands. Some of it for further distribution within Europe, and most of it to feed livestock. And the African countries who suffer crop failures due to intense floods? They depend on the grains imports to even survive, but all combined they imported about half of what the Netherlands imported. Europe is so filthy rich we outbid those poor countries, just so we can feed our livestock to make hamburgers, and now the Europeans get 6 million tons of grain from the Ukraine deal. The poor African countries get a mere 400k tons. That is wild to me. A perfect illustration of how messed up our food system and trade is.
