Food Security and Global Trade

With Russia’s invasion of Ukraine leading to export restrictions on both Ukrainian grain and Russian fertilizer, food prices - and subsequently inflation - rose significantly.
The IMF notes that food insecurity has been rising since 2018 as a result of increasing climate shocks, regional conflicts and the COVID-19 pandemic, which disrupted food production and distribution while driving up food prices. While particularly affecting developing economies - which are generally more dependent on food imports - there are also serious concerns in the developed world about food security, including the issues of climate impact and new trade measures.
What are the most important factors shaping the global trade in agricultural goods? How is this impacting on greater food security? And can the frictions, the restrictions and imbalances in the trade in agricultural goods be addressed multilaterally?
