“Climate change and weather extremes will drive down global caloric yields by about 24% under high future emissions.

“This would result in higher food prices, which in rich countries would feel like inflation. In poor countries, this would exacerbate food security problems and could negatively affect political stability.”

How climate breakdown is putting the world’s food in peril – in maps and charts

From floods to droughts, erratic weather patterns are affecting food security, with crop yields projected to fall if changes are not made

#ClimateInflation in the price of food in North America:

"Projected warming by 2035 would drive food inflation up by 1.4 to 1.8 percentage-points per-year on average across North America (for low-end (SSP1-2.6) and high-end (SSP5-8.5) warming scenarios, respectively). By 2060, warming-driven food inflation across North America would reach 1.9 to 3.9 percentage-points per-year, respectively."

Extreme events fueled by climate change can damage crops, reduce yields, and disrupt supply chains — all of which can drive food prices higher.

Climate Change Linked To 40% Of UK Food Price Hikes

Staples like butter, beef, milk, coffee and chocolate account for nearly 40% of all food price inflation, despite comprising only 11% of an average shopping basket, according to the study.

This trend challenges arguments that minimum-wage hikes or other domestic factors are the main cause of inflation.

Climate impacts added an estimated £360 (€414) to the average UK household food bill in 2022-23."

Meanwhile, vegetable gardeners across the region are reporting wilting plants and dry soil.

For consumers, this means higher prices at the grocery store. "
