“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.”

#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."

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."

"Serbia has suffered from extreme drought in addition to frost in 2025, compounding the detrimental effects on crops.

The lack of rain has devastated corn crops, and the frost destroyed much of the fruit and vegetable yield, leading to extremely high grocery prices."

"Beyond potatoes, Maine's other top crops are suffering. Blueberry growers are warning of reduced harvests this year, and Canada's industry — which supplies much of the U.S. — could see losses of up to one-third. Meanwhile, vegetable gardeners across the region are reporting wilting plants and dry soil.

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

"Grocery prices last month rose at their fastest pace in three years, stoked by Trump’s tariffs, a crackdown on immigration, and extreme weather hurting food production. Prices jumped 0.6% in August from the month prior, according to the latest reading from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and they are up 2.7% from a year ago."

"The struggles [of farmers in the south of Europe] mean the price of wine, olives, citrus fruits and vegetables are expected to continue to rise, as droughts, flash floods and high temperatures affect traditional crops in the Mediterranean.

However, the more the climate crisis progresses the harder it becomes to adapt and the more costly it becomes."

"Climate change is contributing to a global shortage of the world’s most consumed fruit.

Bananas are the fourth most important food crop globally, with more than 400 million people relying on the fruit for 15% to 27% of their daily calories, and they’re not the only crop at risk.

Climate models show that mitigation efforts are the best ways we can reduce climate impacts on our food supply."
