Global hunger, carbon emissions could both spike if war limits grain exports

Amani Elobeid, teaching professor for the Department of Economics, and her colleagues use their global agricultural trade model to predict the impact on global grain markets. A recent article was published in Nature Food about the model and its predictions.

Elobeid and her colleagues, Jerome Dumortier of Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis and Miguel Carriquiry of the University of the Republic of Uruguay, ran their model after the start of the Ukrainian invasion to estimate the cost the war would have on the world.
