Chef José Andrés Warns War-Driven Inflation Could Exacerbate Global Hunger
Chef José Andrés warns that rising food costs driven by war-related inflation could lead to a more severe global hunger crisis by the end of 2026. He highlights surges in gas and fertilizer prices, which have increased by 40% and 30% respectively, as key factors. The ongoing US-Iran conflict and its impact on the Strait of Hormuz are cited as major contributors to these price increases.
