Pasta lovers must brace to pay even higher prices for their favorite dish, as drought in Canada and bad weather in Europe damages crops of durum wheat and reduces supplies available to flour millers and food companies.
Yeah even the article admits they’re not even trying to produce as much durum wheat as they have been in the past, yeah, there’s some drought and stuff but it’s not really to blame for this because our agriculture system knows the risks of drought and should be able to compensate. What’s happening is artificial scarcity. Our whole agricultural system is broken. Its priorities are fucked by quotas and subsidies and its in large companies interests to keep things fucked so they can profit. The days of the family farmer are gone, the whole food supply chain has just turned into yet another oligopoly that wants to bleed everyone of as much money as they possibly can.

The drought has screwed a lot of things. Expect meat prices to skyrocket next year. Hay crops have been really bad I have been hearing 50% and lower for hay yeilds. I imagine other crops are similar, I know the wheat was insanely short this year.

Food and water are the final profit frontier.

Too late
