Blooming Mustard Field In Kashmir, India

Aaqib Ahmad, 23, a Kashmiri farmer, sprinkles fertilizer near a mustard field on the outskirts of Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on March 22, 2026. The ongoing Iran-Israel conflict has disrupted Middle East fertilizer supplies, with up to 30% of global urea shipments at risk due to closures and military operations around the Strait of Hormuz. This situation is increasing global prices, affecting crop yields in the Northern Hemisphere, and adding pressure on global food security. (Photo by Firdous Nazir/NurPhoto)
