Food Insecurity and Prices

The Year of Risk and Uncertainty
The past year has been a challenge for everyone. A collection of global events has changed
the way we interact as a society. This newsletter will explore the impact of Food insecurity
and prices into 2021-22.
The most destabilising force for an economy is food inflation. It cannot be hidden and it
directly affects lower income earners disproportionately. At a time when income inequality
is at its greatest and social discourse is at its widest, rising food prices and food shortages
have the potential to detonate what is already an explosive environment.
