In 2021-22 I tracked the food x fuel x finance crisis. In 2026 we’re heading there again. Every food crisis (2008 etc) we see similar patterns repeat. It’s a lot…the hungriest and most vulnerable are left hostage as profits & plunder continue for a few. newsletter.rajpatel.org/p/how-the-wa...

How the war makes food more expensive
The industrial food system depends on fossil fuels for fertilizer. Shutting down the Strait of Hormuz just before the spring planting will raise food prices.

Indian rupee hits record low as Mideast war rattles markets, stokes economic risks
The Indian rupee fell to a record low against the ​dollar on Wednesday as a sharp ‌rise in oil prices and a rush out of risk assets piled pressure on the ​emerging market currency that analysts ​say could continue until conflict in ⁠the Middle East ebbs.

Embedding care, wellbeing, & relationality works off the notion that systemic socio-ecological transformations require a diff organizing principle. The current one functions exactly as designed, perpetuating inequalities that limit a person’s (& a community’s) scope to thrive, not just survive.

With the rise in vulnerability and precarity for livelihoods and wellbeing, stronger social protection mechanisms that aren’t static just end-points, but a continuum—as this article posits—can be transformational. Our fieldwork signals the same. Agrarian economy/farmers are already overburdened.
