Using land to tackle climate change could have ‘adverse impacts’ on global hunger
By: Carbon Brief - February 24, 2022
Addressing the impacts of mitigation approaches on food security is a “very unique” approach, says Dr Luis Peña-Lévano, an agricultural economist at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. Previous work in the field has looked at the impacts of mitigation on agricultural markets, but not necessarily taken the extra step to analyse how those changes will affect hunger, he says.

Paying extra for milk alternatives: unfair, illogical – and a little bit racist?
By: The Guardian - March 3, 2022
“In the long term, the prices for plant-based milk might go down as the size of the industry increases, allowing for more competition in the market,” said Binod Khanal, who researches agricultural economics and consumer behavior at the University of Connecticut. He said the preference for plant-based milk among consumers is largely due to concerns for climate change as well as lactose intolerance, predominantly among the non-white demographic. Roughly 61% of US households are primarily dairy milk drinkers, while close to 23% were primarily plant based drinkers – and were more likely to identify as liberal – according to a recent study.

Avocado supply faces 'big concern' as inflation, scarcity send prices on a tear
By: Yahoo Finance - February 27, 2022
Americans have a “hefty” appetite for avocados — one that's adding to widespread food price pressures and general scarcity, according to Zhengfei Guan, an associate professor of food and resource economics at the University of Florida.
In California, where over 90% of U.S. supply comes from, “production has been down because acres have been going down, and California has been experiencing severe droughts,” Trent Blare, an assistant professor in food and resource economics at the University of Florida, told Yahoo Finance in an interview.

US Agriculture outlook remains bright after years of economic decline, but challenges remain
By: Food Navigator - March 1, 2022
Over the past two years, US “agriculture has gone through a reset so that conditions are very different now than they would have been if I was a describing the same set of conditions two years ago, before the pandemic, as incomes are much higher, credit problems and financial stress is much different than it had been before the pandemic, levels of bankruptcy even are about half of what they would have been on a quarter-to-quarter basis before the pandemic,” Nathan Kauffman, vice president, economist and Omaha Branch executive at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas, told attendees last week at the virtual USDA Agricultural Outlook Forum.

Is inflation here to stay?
By: Morning Ag Clips - February 27, 2022
As pent-up demand slows and supply chains adapt, their impact on inflation may also subside. But, if the energy price spike in response to the invasion of Ukraine persists and if supply disruptions continue, it could lead consumers to demand higher wages to increase their purchasing power. “If companies raise prices in response to higher wage demands by workers, leading to further high expectations of inflation, further wage demands, and so on, then the United States could enter the wage-price spiral that is often at the heart of high and persistent inflation,” says UC Davis economist Jens Hilscher.

Indiana agriculture experts worried about Ukraine production, exports

Ukraine, Russia, and crop production
By: Ohio's Country Journal - March 1, 2022
Ukraine and Russia have become an important source for global supplies of major agricultural commodities in the past 25 years. These countries, often collectively referred to along with various other Eastern European and Central Asian nations as the Black Sea region, play an important role in the production and export of major grains (corn, wheat, and barley) and oilseeds (especially sunflower and sunflower oil. In addition to the direct toll it will take on the people of the region, the Russian invasion of Ukraine introduces many economic concerns including the impact of the conflict on global agricultural markets.
