RECORD CROPS from what we hear, partly due to increased plant food in the guise of CO2.
Other factors have more influence on prices, such as shipping costs due to attacks in the Gulf meaning ships take upto 4 weeks longer on their journey than they did before, so 4 weeks extra fuel, wages etc to cover.
I have to say this was really informative discussion and without big panic. Food security is something I think about a lot, even as someone having it ensured for now. Big danger now is sudden collapse in certain regions, which can cause huge people suffering, refugees and security breakdown. Even being cynical West can't ignore this, otherwise there will be incredible price to pay.
Climate change is effected by government criminality and lies more than anything else.
Stop having kids.
I almost didn't make it to work last Friday…because of climate change and the fact that I forgot to get gas Thursday afternoon.
This planet will become like Earth in Interstellar.
"My life's transformation still amazes me greatly of how I moved from an average lifestyle to earning over 78k monthly from investing in the financial market, I'm grateful for this incredible journey. My hard work, determination, and wise financial decisions made this possible. I'm living proof that dreams can become reality!"
There is no 10 years… cake is baked… we are waay too late… 2030 is optimistic… all the feedback loops are triggered… and what is happening is extremely non linear…sorry… enjoy the days you have…
There so many wild pigs, chickens
No mention of all the cloud-seeding going on in the world messing up weather patterns. STOP SPRAYING OUR SKIES!
Please see Kogi of Columbia Message From the Mother. Please!
Please promote Food Forest.
Food price inflation by 2023 was trending toward 1000% above 2020 levels by 2040. It's 1200% globally now.
If you're wondering, that's a $40 USD for a loaf of bread, if Americans can get bread.

When I seen the panel my eyes rolled so hard they nearly fell right out of my head.. not one farmer? And yet again we bring in George who’s research into this field has been brief and rushed, jumping to huge conclusions whilst missing several key points. We need to hear from farmers who are actively working on solving these global problems
Carbon taxes and government regulations are _____
The golden nuggett of this incoming sotrm is well described by the host at the end of the video, just when the interview is getting more interesting: "we run out of time"….yeap….we as a whole run out of time too
The last of the 3 people from Geneva reiterates my point ..she said the guy in Zimbabwe didn't have anything to do with the climate change…wrong…he has 6 children….that he can't feed…that he never truely even in the best of times could feed…and how many more thousand are doing the same…just in his country….
I cannot get the nutrients I need from "a plant-based diet."
Bet it's all about the Third World, so in the West we will all think it won't affect us, but it will, maybe even worse than the Third World!
My rice fields have not been able to be planted with PADI for two years from 2023 to 2024, even though there is rain, the water is not sufficient.
Really informative and clearly explained! I was aware of the need to produce food locally but not so aware of the need to increase global colaboration for food imports. Not sure about how that differs from capitalist globalisation.
And corruption too..in the case of Zimbabwe is driving the prices of agricultural inputs..inefficiencies which is a product of corruption as well..
We are doomed in Africa..period
Well, I don't think I'll eat in August, that helps…
Global tomato production has set a record each year for the past 10 years. Banana production has doubled in 20 years. All 10 of the largest sugar crops in global history occurred during the past 10 years. All 10 of the 10 largest rice crop years occurred during the past 10 years (UNFAO). 2023 was another record cereal crop.
Regenerative agriculture should be made mandatory.
Too many humans using too many natural resources (fertilizers, top soil) and producing too much pollution and heat. We now number 3,000 times as many as were our ancestral migratory Hunter-Gatherer clans/bands. What could go wrong? Everything?
"George, I think you wanted to come in there…", exactly, which is why I always use contraceptives.
thank you, we can prevent these phenomena like cyclone and flood by using this hot seasonal atmospheric condition, recent years in summer, geothermal energy happens in surface of coastline, there are many countries in coastline with seasonal hot weather and water condition by using this energy not only is economical but also reduce global warming like Japan, China, India, Mediterranean countries, Iran, Mexico, Us, Canada, (Africa and Arabian countries….) . I invented new method base on air pressure rules and quantum physics ionization sea water minerals in strong dynamic magnet and electrical field for producing electricity and fresh water and fertilizer that I mentioned in my profile.
Serious stuff!
Don't be indifferent – join a group of activists and demand urgent climate action now!
