Pestilence - Famine

New crop-destroying pest enters China amid devastating swine fever epidemic - UPI.com
 UPI reports: "A new pest that threatens key agricultural commodities is spreading through China as the nation is reeling from an African swine fever epidemic that may wipe out hundreds of millions of hogs. [...] The moth has arrived as China is losing a large percentage of its food supply to the rapid spread of African swine fever, which has spread to hogs throughout the country."

Comment: This could have serious implications for the global food supply.
