Chris Barrett, Cornell University Food price increases show signs of moderating By: Marketplace - August 1, 2022 “All of those pigs need to eat,” said Chris Barrett, an economist at Cornell. “And that increased demand for corn and soy and other things.” So those became more expensive. Climate change is also playing a role, according to David Ortega, a food economist at Michigan State. “We’ve seen droughts in parts of the U.S., you know, the heat wave that set records in Europe, but also in other important agricultural-producing regions — South America and Canada,” he said. “And so that’s led to less product being available, which adds upward pressure on prices.” (Continued...) Ariel Ortiz-Bobea, Cornell University 'It's tragic': Extreme heat could erase progress on child malnutrition in West Africa, scientists warn By: Insider - August 4, 2022 Ortiz-Bobea was part of a team that analyzed health and weather data from Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, and Togo.
