A grain or food-system shock
Window: 13 Apr 2027 – 13 Apr 2028
LevelCritical
What this is
A grain-export disruption, fertilizer shock, climate-driven crop failure, or trade-sanction event produces sharp food-price spike + food-insecurity surge affecting multiple countries. F-CT-8 at the food-security grain. Downstream: urban unrest in importer countries; political-regime stress; export-restriction cascades.
