# Event Details - **Event Name**: Conflict in the Middle East: Reverberations for Food Systems - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 14 Apr, 2026 at 09:00 am – Tue, 14 Apr, 2026 at 10:30 am (-04:00) - **Event Description**: Conflict in the Middle East: Reverberations for Food SystemsAbout this EventAttend in person at IFPRI HQ or watch online at IFPRI's event pageWhile the global food system has largely adjusted to the disruptions in agricultural commodities and fertilizers following the invasion of Ukraine, the new conflict in the Middle East introduces a new set of challenges at a time when markets and supply chains remain vulnerable to geopolitical shocks. Disruptions to shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, through which a significant share of the world’s oil, and natural gas, as well as fertilizers transit, and concerns about potential impacts on production sites in the region have added to the uncertainty.These developments have implications for countries heavily reliant on Gulf producers for oil, gas, and fertilizers, as well as for food-import dependent economies in the Gulf, should agricultural shipments to the region face prolonged delays.While the immediate effects on trade flows and prices are still unfolding, higher energy and fertilizer costs can influence agricultural production decisions and, over time, shape foods security outcomes. Understanding these dynamics early is important for anticipating where pressures may emerge and how they may interact with existing vulnerabilities.As global food systems become increasingly exposed to conflict related and geopolitical risks, timely analysis is essential for informing both rapid response and longer term resilience efforts. Clear insights into potential stress points and market adjustments can help governments, value chain actors, development partners, and humanitarian organizations prepare and respond effectively.The event will feature:Presentations from IFPRI experts, who will provide an up‑to‑date assessment of these developments and discuss their implications for vulnerable low‑ and middle‑income countries.A second panel of senior representatives from governments, international organizations, and the private sector, who will reflect on how they are addressing the immediate effects of the crisis and share perspectives on priorities for strengthening resilience and improving risk management strategies going forward.An opportunity for questions, comments, and discussion.__________________________________________________HOW TO REGISTER & WATCH THIS FREE EVENT (Online & In-person )1.
