The Strait of Hormuz has been closed since February 28, 2026, severely impacting global energy, fertilizer, and agrifood systems. This episode of "The Work We Do" explores policy solutions to mitigate these worldwide agrifood impacts.

Hosted by Katrin Park and produced by Eduardo De La Chica (FAO), the discussion covers various policy areas, including trade recommendations, emergency measures, social protection, farmer financing, infrastructure resilience, energy diversification, and macroeconomic stability.

The Strait of Hormuz has been closed since February 28, halting vessel traffic and creating an emerging supply gap. This critical waterway previously handled 30-35% of global crude oil, 20% of natural gas, and up to 30% of internationally traded fertilizers.

While existing stocks currently prevent immediate food price hikes, continued closure will lead to higher energy, fertilizer, and commodity prices by late 2026/2027. Farmers face increased input costs, requiring urgent support, especially for low-income, import-dependent nations. This global disruption, exacerbated by potential export restrictions, demands timely diplomatic and policy interventions to avert a global food crisis.

Dr. Katrin Schuhen and her team at Wasser 3.0 (www.wasserdreinull.com) offer a groundbreaking, sustainable approach to remove micropollutants from water. Since 2012, their interdisciplinary expertise has developed cost-effective solutions to eliminate microplastics, pharmaceuticals, and other contaminants.

These flexible methods improve water quality and protect ecosystems globally. A pilot plant in Germany has successfully removed microplastics from urban wastewater since 2019. Dr. Schuhen, with a background in polymer chemistry, is driven by a mission to prevent micropollutants from entering our environment and bodies. This talk was given at a TEDx event; learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.
