By: Aljazeera – August 28, 2023
“Prices of food staples like wheat, maize, rice and oil seeds have risen since the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 disrupted global supply chains, after years of relatively stable costs. Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine made things worse, with global food prices at an all-time peak in March 2022. We had not seen such increases since 2007-08 and 2011.”

“What Is Cultivated Meat?”
By: The A1 – August 28, 2023
“Cultivated meat is green-lit in the U.S. That’s meat grown in a lab. Instead of sending animals to the slaughterhouse, meats are grown from animal stem cells. However, meat production without factory farming has some wondering about the possibilities it could have for future food production. How exactly is the meat grown? What would it take to increase production? How would it impact the food industry?”

“Western vs. Chinese Communist Party views of universal values: Do both make sense?”
By: Rochester Business Journal – September 1, 2023
“President Biden likes to say that in contemporary times, one of the central battles being fought in the world is between autocracies and democracies. Clearly, this is one plausible way of looking at the world in which we live. In furtherance of this dichotomous view of the world, it is interesting to study how the chief present-day autocracy, namely, the People’s Republic of China governed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), views the long cherished and seemingly Western concept of universal values.”

“Tracking Grocery Prices: What’s Up, What’s Down, And Where You Can Save Money”
By: Boston 25 News – August 30, 2023
“In the last six or seven months, we’ve seen a very nice reduction in the rate of inflation. Understanding “grocery store geography” can help shoppers find the best value. Prices for packaged, processed foods in the center of the store tend to be the most stubborn. Where prices have not come down so much is the middle of the store. That pricing power, that brand loyalty has allowed the middle-of-the-store prices to remain pretty sticky and high.”
