E. Gutierrez-Moya et al.

Summary: In this study, complex network analysis tools were used to study the international wheat trade network, revealing that the global network is slightly more resilient overall but some developing countries are in vulnerable situations. Shocks to wheat-producing countries have varying impacts on populations. Additionally, the effects of global shocks and the COVID-19 pandemic on the wheat market were analyzed.

Food and water insecurity as causes of social unrest: Evidence from geolocated Twitter data

Ore Koren et al.

Summary: Research often overlooks the specific pathways by which climatic factors can lead to social unrest, particularly in understanding the distinct effects of food insecurity and water insecurity at high-resolution spatio-temporal scales. Findings suggest that the impacts of food and water insecurities are mutually reinforcing, compelling citizens to take to the streets, rather than acting independently. Efforts to address climate change's impact on conflict should therefore consider both forms of insecurity and their interactive effects.
