S&P Global (SPGI) published an analysis warning that energy disruption and El Niño could combine to threaten global food security. The company identifies higher fertilizer and diesel costs, sustained demand for crops used in biofuels and weather-related harvest risks as overlapping pressures.

S&P Global cautions that pressure on farm budgets may not reach food markets in force until 2027; a global food crisis remains conditional on continued disruption to energy and fertilizer movements and weather-related harvest losses.
