Take a look at this chart.

This shows the cost of the food in U.S. steadily rising over past 5 years.

 

"the price increases have been mostly driven by supply related factors. It has been like a perfect storm."

 

"probably the number one reason has to do with climate change."

 

"Adverse weather in major production is that out in Argentina, Brazil, California, or excess rains in some parts of Europe and China. So Mother nature is not working in favor of food production."

 

"We got a huge transportation problem."

 

"Labor in general is becoming more expensive."

 

These rising prices can have serious consequences.

"Food insecurity, particularly, it's truly a wicked problem, a problem that has much nuance to it and is multifaceted."

 

"Disparities have always existed in terms of access to food. And so even before Covid, there were 35 million Americans who lived in households that were strrugling to put food on the table. So it's not new."
