Extreme weather events, geopolitical conflict, high input costs and increased demand all contributed to spikes in food prices around the world, experts told Carbon Brief in June.
The impact of these events varies depending on the type of food — olive oil, orange juice and other common supermarket items are now more expensive, for example, whereas grains have dropped in price compared to the start of this year.
