Crop disruption from war in Ukraine could increase global carbon emissions, food prices

Crop disruption from war in Ukraine could increase global carbon emissions, food prices

The disruption of crop production after the Russian invasion of Ukraine is expected to increase carbon emissions and food prices across the globe, without easing food insecurity.

New research published this week from Jerome Dumortier, associate professor in the O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs at IUPUI, and his co-authors, uses economic simulation models to predict the short-term and long-term effects of the war on climate change, crop prices and food shortages.

The study found that the war’s impact on crop production and exports in Ukraine and Russia will continue to increase the world’s food prices and food insecurity, but not as much as initially feared — largely because other countries have stepped up their production. Researchers estimate we may see corn and wheat prices increasing by up to 4.6% and 7.2%, respectively. They also considered the prices of crops like barley, rice, soybeans, sunflower and wheat, which are predicted to increase.

Nations already facing significant food insecurity will be impacted most, they predict.

“There was a lot of worry about food insecurity globally when the war first started in Ukraine,” Dumortier said. “Our research shows while this will continue to impact the global supply chain, the effects on food shortages won’t be as bad as we initially thought. Much of that is because other countries have started to produce those crops and exports to make up for what Ukraine has not been sending out.”

However, filling that production gap will take a toll on the global climate, Dumortier said. Other countries, such as Brazil, might clear land and vegetation to plant more crops to make up for slowed production and exports from the war.

The study found that Brazil is increasing its corn production to compensate for Ukraine’s drop in corn exports. Researchers found that the change in land use across the globe will have a significant environmental impact, as other countries increase carbon emissions from land-use change and contribute more to deforestation.

“The Russia-Ukraine grain agreement over the summer was a positive development, but the situation in Ukraine is uncertain,” Dumortier said. “We suggest governments consider policies that help vulnerable populations, like domestic food subsidies and the reduction or elimination of trade restrictions. The effect of future climate change could also be mitigated by unrestricted trade, which could allow a shift of comparative advantage across countries.”

Co-authors on the paper, published this week in Nature Food, are Miguel Carriquiry of Universidad de la República in Uruguay and Amani Elobeid of Iowa State University.

Technologies that close the loop

Thanks to technology, the new economy is leaving behind the production model of linear cutting.

The cloud, 'big data', 3D printing, robotics, augmented reality or the internet of things increase the flexibility of industrial processes and the efficiency in the use of resources such as energy or raw materials

Extract, produce and consume. This has been the basis of the linear economic model on which modern life has been forged, but which has proven to be unsustainable due to the overexploitation of natural resources, the pollution it generates and the waste it leaves behind. Today, however, in the midst of the technological revolution (with tools that make it possible to measure, quantify, evaluate, predict and obtain any type of information) the world is giving way to a different approach to doing things, in which resources and materials circulate constantly throughout the value chain. The concept revolves around reuse, recycle and reduce.

This new model is called circular economy. A trend that is on the lips of all companies worldwide and that has gained strength thanks to the development of new technologies that enable the creation of more sustainable business models. In Spain, 82% of the companies have some kind of commitment to this process, according to a survey conducted by Accenture[1] among 100 firms and associations from different fields. And on this path, research and innovation play a key role. “Technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain (chain of blocks), the Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing (cloud) facilitate the transition towards a more efficient use of resources” , explains Eva Barteková, an expert in circular economy at the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).

“Imagination is the accelerator of innovation”, abounds Emma Elobeid, of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation[2]. “It is essential if we want to solve big problems such as climate change, waste management and pollution”, highlights the expert from this organisation that promotes the new production model. And it is in the industry (from energy and the automobile sector to food and construction) where great changes are taking place in this regard. For example, the blockchain has become an ideal tool for identifying and monitoring materials and components throughout a supply chain so that they can be reused, remanufactured, recycled, or composted. Proof of this is Suez[3], the water and waste management company, that has developed a system based on the chain of blocks with which it records all the stages involved in the treatment of wastewater that is destined for agricultural soils.

The tool (Circular Chain)[4] enabes the different actors (producers, transporters, treatment centres and recyclers) to exchange information on the composition of waste and its treatment. In this way, everyone involved independently oversees the process from start to finish. This traceability of organic matter guarantees both producers of sludge (a mixture between liquid and solid, separated from wastewater) and farmers more control over what is dumped on agricultural fields. Technology does not stop there, but also reaches various sectors such as fashion. For example, Teemill[5], an e-commerce platform, uses blockchain in the creation of sustainable products.

Teemill allows users to set up their own online stores and customize products like t-shirts, hoodies, and bags using their own or predefined designs. Blockchain gives greater transparency to the entire supply chain. Each product created and sold on the platform has a QR code that allows consumers to know the origin of the materials and processes. Ready-made products are designed to be returned when worn or no longer wanted by the customer. In addition, natural materials and renewable energies are used in all processes.

AI in industry

Artificial intelligence is also entering the industry with force. In the market, various companies use this innovation to automatically classify and separate various types of materials, as does the Spanish company Picvisa.[6] This firm has developed a waste separation system based on artificial vision.[7] Its equipment has high-resolution cameras and machine learning algorithms that help distinguish and classify materials based on their physical characteristics. Thus, the waste from a factory is divided into categories: plastics, glass, metals and paper, which facilitates the recovery of resources. “The circular economy, in addition to greater security in the supply chain, presents numerous opportunities for companies, such as the emergence of new lines of business and services, as well as a reduction in inputs and raw materials, a reuse of the waste produced and lower management costs thereof”, reads the Spanish Circular Economy Strategy (España Circular 2030)[8], a roadmap drawn up by the central government, which marks the path towards a model that is kinder to the environment. The European Commission indicates that, by 2030, the circular economy can generate an additional increase in European GDP of 0.5% and add 700,000 new jobs to the labour market. “Technology plays a key role in two areas: reducing existing barriers and making new business models more attractive,” says Benigno Herrería, managing director at Accenture Strategy and head of Sustainability.

One of the sectors with great potential for progress in the adoption of disruptive technologies is construction and waste management. This sector is one of the priority areas at the European level, estimated to generate between 25% and 30% of the waste in the EU. One of the biggest problems is that valuable building materials are not always identified when there is a demolition or new construction[9]. In addition, they are not collected separately nor is it adequately taken into account if they can have a second life. "Proper waste management, which includes proper separation and handling, can bring great benefits in terms of sustainability," explains the Spanish Circular Economy Strategy.

"When talking about visible technological advances in construction, many imagine a completely digitized city, but for this there is a lot to innovate in previous phases," says Gonzalo Galindo, director of Cemex Ventures[10], corporate venture capital investment arm of the international cement company. “This does not mean that Europe is behind. In fact, some of the most ground-breaking technologies that are revolutionising the construction sector have their origin and implementation in the European market”, indicates this expert. Notable among them is Cobod[11], a Danish firm that 3D printed Europe's first building in 2017. The firm's printers have created Europe's first two- and three-story buildings in Belgium and Germany, a villa in Dubai, and some bases for wind turbines in Africa.[12]

3D printing contributes to the circular economy, since it reduces construction waste and uses less materials than with the traditional method. The reality is that there are already smart buildings that run entirely on renewable energy sources, as well as 3D-printed homes that help solve social problems such as the affordable housing crisis, says the cement expert. In terms of energy, for example, Waste to Energy stands out, a firm based in Barcelona[13], which converts biomass and non-recyclable waste into synthesis gas through the atmospheric gasification process. Cemex[14] intends to incorporate this clean energy source in its clinker and cement manufacturing process.

In search of the right model

In Spain there are already initiatives from which a circular economy model can be built coherently and systematically, highlights Raquel Traba, CEO and co-founder of TRIPLE, a coworking space and ecological event with zero CO₂ certification[15]. “For example, industrial symbiosis, which is the use by one company of the waste, fluids, or emissions generated by another, incorporating them into its production process,” she says. Another example of circularity in construction is Ecometro,[16] which has developed a technology that enables the measurement of the impact of renovation projects or new construction and minimizes the carbon footprint by calculating emissions and associated impacts. This life cycle analysis includes all phases of the chain: from the extraction of raw materials and manufacturing, to transport, construction and use of the building.

"Research and innovation are key to the implementation of new processes," says Traba. But if we talk about the production of circular energy sources, one of the most notable examples is embodied by Repsol [17]. The firm is building a synthetic fuel plant in Bilbao, the first in Spain, which will produce some 2,000 tons per year by 2026. These fuels (also called e-fuels, which can be used in any type of vehicle that is traveling by sky, sea or land) are produced from hydrogen and carbon dioxide (CO₂) captured from the atmosphere or from industrial processes. [18]

The motto of the four Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Recover) is helping to redefine the entire economy, but it is the automotive industry that is always one step ahead. Large companies in the sector use augmented reality (which helps to simplify the production process, improving efficiency and the use of materials) or the Internet of Things (through sensors in vehicles to collect data in real time and thus improve quality and reduce manufacturing errors). Rolls-Royce, for example, uses sensors on some of its vehicles to collect data on engine temperature or fuel flow. With the information collected, it identifies and anticipates maintenance problems.

Also in this sector, the constant reuse of used vehicle parts, component repair, remanufacturing, recycling and recovery of materials is gaining weight. “We have noticed that in the last two years user support for the circular economy has increased,” says Jan Amat, CEO and co-founder of Recomotor[19], a Spanish firm that specializes in breathing new life into vehicle parts.

A challenge still pending

The industrial sector in Spain represents a very important part of the economy. Its weight in the gross domestic product (GDP) is 15.31%, according to the Industrial Barometer prepared by the General Council of Industrial Technical Engineering of Spain. Despite its relevance, the market share of circular business models is still limited. Recycling, remanufacturing and repair, sharing spare capacity and providing services rather than products typically account for less than 15% of sector output, according to the OECD. One of the main obstacles is found in the inefficiencies of the market; it is to say, that there is incomplete information on the composition of the products and the conditions of maintenance and recycling. The private and public sectors know that time is running out and that the goals towards 2030 are a pending issue to be resolved. Among the objectives is to reduce the national consumption of materials in relation to GDP by 30%, taking 2010 as the reference year. In addition, it is intended to reduce the generation of waste by 15%, as well as improve efficiency by 10% in the use of water and reduce the emission of greenhouse gases below 10 million tons of CO2 equivalent in the economy, among other goals. Among the sectors where there is a great opportunity for advancement are construction, agri-food, fishing and forestry, industrial, consumer goods, tourism and textiles and clothing.

Using natural materials, renewable energy and designing every product to come back to be remade meant building new technology to make a circular economy model possible. This is the story of that journey.

"Sharhabeel Ahmed, born 1935, is one of the living legends in Sudan’s arts scene. He created the Sudanese Jazz, a local genre inspired by jazz and funk icons such as Louis Armstrong, Harry Belafonte and James Brown. Sharha- beel moved from his hometown Elobeid in South Kordofan to Khartoum to study at the College of Fine Arts at Sudan University. Being trained as a graphic designer, he became a prominent cartoon artist and worked as an illustrator for the Ministry of Education. Near his office was the Rumbek school which was relocated from South Sudan to Khar- toum after the civil war broke out. Every morning he passed by the compound encountering some of the students playing guitar outside the gates. Fascinated by the foreign instrument for a while, he approached them. He had bought a guitar from a garage sale of a foreigner who left Khartoum but didn‘t know how to tune it and therefore was unable to transfer his skills on the Oud and other local string instruments to playing the guitar. He offered the students to teach them how to play the mandolin in exchange of learning how to tune and play the acoustic guitar he owned. Trained by the church in different guitar techniques, the students agreed on the exchange and Sharhabeel finally was enabled to play the instrument that interested him for a long time. Influenced by the international jazz bands he saw in the bars and clubs in Jumhuriya street in Downtown Khartoum, he started fusing jazz with local elements of different genres, singing in English and Arabic. He gave his first concert at the opening of the Omdurman National Theater where he performed with his band under the name „Sharhabeel Ahmed and Band“. The band was joined by his wife Zakiyah who was the first woman on stage playing base and guitar. Revolutionising the Sudanese music scene for the coming decades, they toured in Africa and Europe, performing songs in Arabic, English and Kiswahili. Playing in Asmara for Independence Day, at the Beethoven- Halle in Bonn, the Roman Theater in Alexandria and the Institut du Monde Arab in Paris, Sharhabeel Ahmed and Band spread the Sudanese musical genre they created internationally until today. “El Bomba” and Sharhabeel’s forthcoming solo release on Habibi Funk was licensed from the artist himself."
