According to the United Nations, there are more active armed conflicts today than at any time since the end of the Second World War, with ‘one quarter of the global population now living in conflictaffected countries’ (UN, 2022: 3). The human consequences of this scale and scope of armed conflict are enormous, in terms of both those directly facing violence and abuse and those that suffer the secondary impacts. The current conflict in Ukraine, for example, has forcibly displaced more than a third of the population, with over 7.4 million Ukrainian refugees now registered across Europe and 6.9 million displaced within their own country, and over 14,000 civilians have been killed or injured (UNHCR, 2022; OHCHR, 2022). Devastating as the situation in the country is, the conflict-induced restrictions on food exports from Ukraine has also compounded existing high levels of food insecurity around the world, ‘threatening to unleash an unprecedented wave of hunger and destitution’ according to the UN Secretary-General (UNSG) (UN Global Crisis Response Group, 2022). This will push the number of people in severe food insecurity up to 323 million globally (ibid).
