One thing we will have learned because of the war being waged in eastern Europe is that Ukraine is one of the world’s major wheat producers. We are all affected by the horrors of what is happening to the people there and, apart from our energy and fuel predicament, the panic-buying of Ukraine’s cooking oil (sourced from a flower that is that country’s symbol) and rationed supplies of flour on depleted shelves in our local supermarkets indicate that absolutely no-one remains unaffected in this tragic situation.
May Peace and bread soon return to this troubled world!
We get spoiled here in the US because it’s only petrol that has really increased. So much of the world will see challenges with food, fertilizer, and fuel combined.
