Unusual climatic events are directly linked to short-term spikes in cost of basic foodstuffs, study shows

From potatoes in Britain to onions in India, weather extremes driven by climate change are driving short-term food price surges globally, research has found.

A study led by the Barcelona Supercomputing Center directly links dozens of climate extremes to sharp food price spikes, highlighting the increasing vulnerability of food systems to environmental shocks.
