It’s at the center of our dinner tables: an essential human experience where we connect with our friends and family. But it’s also at the center of a story that connects each of us to farmers, producers, suppliers, grocers, and other families around the world. Every meal is the result of a journey that recently became even more difficult. Distribution bottlenecks. Rising food prices. Grain shortages. Energy crises. Climate change. This is the reality of our global food system today. When talk at mealtime turns to the price of bread and higher grocery bills, we’re really joining a much larger conversation about where our food comes from, and how it arrives on our tables.

From Connection to Action The world is so interconnected that a crisis anywhere can be felt everywhere. In addition to the devastation the war in Ukraine has caused for millions on the ground, it has also set in motion events that have triggered critical disruptions in the supply chain, food production, fertilizer access, energy and more. The war has made a challenging situation worse, as due to the global pandemic food prices were already on the rise. The most effective way to help mitigate the disruptions caused by the war in Ukraine is to end the war and ensure food is not being used as a political tool. The clock is ticking. Every day the war continues, the global food crisis worsens. We believe both collaboration and swift action at scale are key to mitigating the food crisis and to preventing longer-term food shortages. Strengthening our global food system requires innovation, the dedicated support of smallholder farmers, and an active approach to fighting climate change. This is why we are taking immediate action to support Ukrainian growers. To that end, we have donated more than 40,000 bags of seed to support farmers who are still planting in Ukraine.
