A global food-supply crisis is looming. Fertilizer and energy shortages, driven by war in Ukraine, conflict with Iran, and geopolitical disruption, are creating structural pressures that will drive food and energy costs higher. Frank Wright examines the reports, including a JPMorgan client analysis, and warns that the cycle of shortages, rising costs, migration, and political instability is becoming a “terminal doom loop.”
But the media is telling a different story. The narrative focuses on extreme heat and climate change, deflecting attention from the real causes: war, sanctions, and systemic failures in the global order. He argues this is part of an information war designed to shape public perception while the international system unravels.
Declining fertilizer availability will hit developing regions hardest, fueling mass migration and instability. The West, already fractured, faces a crisis it cannot manage. Wright urges Catholics not to succumb to fear but to remain grounded in their faith. The system is failing. The narratives are shifting. But the truth, and the Church, will endure. The question is whether the faithful will be prepared for what comes next.
