The Guardian | We’re letting big corporations gamble with our lives. Act now, or the food could run out | George Monbiot by George Monbiot

The fragility of the global food system fills me with dread – and the war with Iran has exposed just how close to collapse it is

The fate of environmentalists is to spend their lives trying not to be proved right. Vindication is what we dread. But there’s one threat that haunts me more than any other: the collapse of the global food system. We cannot predict what the immediate trigger might be. But the war with Iran is just the right kind of event.

Drawing on years of scientific data, I’ve been arguing for some time that this risk exists – and that governments are completely unprepared for it. In 2023, I made a submission to a parliamentary inquiry into environmental change and food security, with a vast list of references. Called as a witness, I spent much of the time explaining that the issue was much wider than the inquiry’s scope.

The biggest wildcard for #systemic risk in the #foodsystem is whether El Niño arrives soon, or holds until late 2027. The timing of that shift will determine the scale. The dominoes are lining up. We are looking at a cascade of systemic shocks, that could be amplified by non-linear climate impacts.

"La nación tiene una fuerte relación con los alimentos baratos", lamentó Klaas, sin embargo, en el afán de proporcionárselos a la gente, "como sociedad hemos llevado a los agricultores a una industria que ya no tiene derecho a existir a esa escala"

“The nation has a strong relationship with cheap food,” Klaas lamented, however in the quest to provide it to the people, “as a society we have led farmers into an industry which has no right to exist at that scale anymore”

36 years of shifting trade #networks have rewired the #foodsystem: a "perfect storm" of vulnerability for food-insecure regions, who are more exposed to #cascades from distant supply shocks than ever before. @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] arxiv.org/pdf/2603.01740
