"Climate change is pushing up the prices of the food that we buy and therefore changing what we eat. One-third of UK food price increases in 2023 resulted from climate change, according to research by agricultural economists. This extra cost contributed to food price inflation and the UK’s cost-of-living crisis.

By ratcheting up food prices and driving food insecurity, the climate crisis already affects the stability of societies around the world. Several studies have found that shocks to the food supply have been increasing and that climate-related losses of food in major breadbasket regions (the areas of the world that produce most food) are likely to increase.

These projections often omit difficult-to-model consequences like the spread of crop pests and damage to infrastructure. Real-world impacts could be worse than those that can be modelled.

Studies predict significant food price increases every year in the coming decade. Food industry professionals are raising the alarm to food vulnerabilities unprecedented in scale and variety. In the long term, climate change could make it impossible to grow food in one-third of current food production areas.

Sustainable food system researchers are now considering scenarios of significant food system stress and even collapse. One study found that 40% of UK food experts think that civil unrest from food supply issues is possible within the next decade. This increases to 80% of experts when asked if it was possible over a 50-year timeline"

🔔 "unprecedented" used (take a shot, eat some ice cream, whatever).

“This change is not related to tariffs or trade policies. It reflects the reality of rising ingredient costs including the unprecedented cost of cocoa,” Hershey said in a statement....Cocoa prices have more than doubled over the past two years due to poor weather and disease in West Africa, which supplies more than 70% of the world’s cocoa."

"Climate change has driven increases in food prices across the globe over the last three years, as droughts and other extreme weather events have become increasingly common.

A study published on July 21 by the Barcelona Supercomputer Center (BSC) pulled from 16 examples between 2022 and 2024 in 18 countries, where extreme heat, drought conditions or heavy rainfall — many of which exceeded historical precedents — drove short-term spikes in food prices. That included a 300% increase in global cocoa prices over just two months in April 2024, caused by a heatwave in Ghana and the Ivory Coast that scientists said was made 40 degrees hotter by climate change.

A separate 2024 heatwave in India — which led to an 80% jump in onion and potato prices — was described by scientists at the time as 'a largely unique event,' made at least 34 degrees hotter by climate change. In Ethiopia, food prices jumped by 40% in March 2023, following the worst drought the Horn of Africa had seen in 40 years.

'Until we get to net-zero emissions, extreme weather will only get worse, and it's already damaging crops and pushing up the price of food all over the world,' said Dr. Maximillian Kotz, the study's lead author and a researcher for Germany's Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research."

THIS is the most important point of the climate breakdown to look at.
The collapse of the global food market will break our neck the fastest.
