Humanity, which has suffered greatly from the atomic bombs dropped in the past, naturally fears that nuclear warheads will come into play in the event of a possible war. In the event of a possible nuclear war There are new studies every day about what could be happening in the world. Although the results obtained are approximate due to the many factors involved, each draws attention to a new point.

As the latest investigation into the consequences of a possible nuclear war US National Center for Atmospheric Research It’s done by. But this time, the research focused on the indirect effects of nuclear war rather than its direct effects. Using data on available crop yields and fish stocks around the world, experts shared scenarios of what we might experience in the food supply in the event of nuclear war.

All-out war drives 5 billion people to starvation:

The shared results, of course, were not very encouraging. In addition to the losses from the attacks, the global disruption of food supplies put the lives of millions of people at risk. For example, the tension between two countries like India and Pakistan resulted in a relatively small nuclear bomb attack, Mixing 5 million tons of particles in the atmosphere will cause.

The result of this situation is that the world average 8% fewer calories will lead to. In the coming years, up to 225 million people will succumb to famine. In an all-out war involving giants like the US and Russia, 150 million tons of sand and dust will be released into the atmosphere. The world will be deprived of three quarters of its calories.

Mixing stocks of animal feed into emergency supplies and eating what we currently waste could get us to a point. But those who struggled to get enough food for the two years after the all-out war 5 billion people will slowly starve to death. In a scenario where 250 nuclear explosions add 27 million tons of material to the atmosphere, at high latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere, harvested calories would decrease by more than 50% and fish reserves by 20-30%. In countries close to the equator, calorie scarcity can decrease by up to 10%.

In some places the effects of war will not be felt on the same level:

As can be understood from the situation at the equator, the whole world will not be affected by this situation. So much so that in a situation where international trade falls into the water, population in Australiawill still be able to get at least half of its calories from spring wheat. Nuclear war would even result in a minimal reduction in the yield of this crop, perhaps even a small gain. Similarly, New Zealand’s food supply may have a much smaller impact than countries that rely on crops such as rice.

Experts argue that in the event of a possible war, there could be an intense migration to Australia and New Zealand for these reasons. of a socio-political turmoil It is, of course, impossible to predict how this will directly affect the food economy. While the results on paper show that Australia will not starve, of course it will still depend on the people.
