An article published by thedotcultura, authored by MedRESOURCE experts Anna Pireddu and Enrico Catassi (PWEG), examines how geopolitical instability can affect agricultural production and food security far beyond the regions directly involved in conflict.

Starting from the recent tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and their impact on global shipping routes, the article explores how disruptions in energy and logistics systems can rapidly translate into higher fertiliser costs, supply-chain vulnerabilities and increased pressure on agricultural systems worldwide.

Against this backdrop, the analysis highlights the growing importance of strengthening resource security and reducing dependence on external inputs. The ability to recover and reuse nutrients from locally available resources is increasingly viewed not only as an environmental objective but also as a strategic response to global uncertainty.

In this context, MedRESOURCE contributes to the broader debate by exploring practical solutions for nutrient recovery and circular resource management, helping Mediterranean territories become more resilient to environmental, economic and geopolitical shocks.
