Natural gas price and shortage affects much more than just the energy sector. Gas is used for many other applications such as nitrogen fertilizer like in this article, making ammonia and in manufacturing lots of stuff.
Europe will be able to feed itself even with higher prices. What about other countries though, as they say a nation is 3 meals from conflict.
To read about it in more detail. And one reason that is not mentioned often and if I understood correctly, is biofuels and everything related to green energy from biomass. If I remember correctly, at least half of this was a renewable source, right?
