Do locust plagues pose a threat to world food security?

Yes. First of all, the locusts themselves multiply rapidly, and hundreds of millions of locusts pass through the crops, and there is basically no grain left. In addition, many large grain countries are relatively backward and have no good means to deal with locusts, resulting in a shortage of food in the world.

No, the locust plague is only a region, and it cannot be a global locust plague, so it will not have a security impact on the whole world.

Locust plagues do not pose a threat to the whole world at the same time. Because there is a certain amount of food reserves all over the world, which can be distributed to all parts of the world at any time.

If the time is short, there are food reserves in various countries. However, over time, it will affect food production and cause food shortages.

No, locusts can also be roasted and eaten!

No, our country will have enough food to eat for three years.

The world's major locust plagues and their hazards:

Israel: On 21 November 2004, millions of locusts swarmed into the Israeli city of Eilat on the Red Sea coast, destroying a large number of crops and flowers in the southern Israeli city. Israel** used aircraft to spray insecticides to kill locusts.

Russia: In 2001, some 267,000 hectares of pasture and arable land were infested by locusts in the Staropol region of southern Russia, and during the same period, locust plagues were also infested in the Yellow River basin and the Bohai Sea coastal areas of China, as well as in northern Xinjiang, with locust densities reaching up to 10,000 locusts per square metre in some areas.

China: In 2001, the first locust plague was seen in China's Liaoning Province due to a drought for the first time in a century. According to a March 2008 report by the Ministry of Agriculture on locust infestations in China, more than 90 million acres of land were affected by locust infestations in China.

United States: In 2003, the western states of Nevada, Utah, and Idaho were all plagued by locust infestations, and Idaho was the worst since World War II.

Locusts reproduce very quickly, because the number of eggs laid by locusts is very large, which makes them reproduce very quickly. <>

If there is dry weather during the locust season, the number of eggs laid by the locusts will become very high. It is understood that it can produce 4,000 to 5,000 egg masses per square meter, pay attention to egg masses rather than individual egg masses, each egg mass also contains 50 of 80 eggs. This number is undoubtedly very staggering, and the arid environment will provide better spawning conditions for locusts, because the Zaoliang Zen stool dust locust is a species that likes drought, if the locust eats a plant with a very high water content, then its fertility will decrease, so generally the year with locust plague is a dry year.

When locusts lay eggs, they will choose the address of infection in a relatively loose place, and then bury their bodies in the sandy soil halfway, gently shake and give birth, and swing regularly with the oviduct ovulation, generally a locust ovulation will go away directly after ovulation after 40 minutes, which shows that locust egg laying is a very common thing in the locust species, so the locust species will become one of the natural disasters of human beings. <>

Because locusts are highly reproductive, and they are especially able to eat. One square kilometer of locusts can eat about 35,000 people's food a day, which is one of the reasons why locusts have such a strong reproductive ability. This vicious circle is undoubtedly a devastating disaster for humanity.

If the locust plague is accompanied by a locust mating period, then it is not so easy for even human experts to deal with it. <>

It can be seen from last year's locust plague in Africa that the locust plague has traveled all the way from Africa to India to Pakistan, and has been circulating on the Internet some time ago, and will soon come to China.
