The recent wheat price crisis is an extreme case of recent record high agricultural commodity & food prices. What's the role of commodity futures exchanges in #foodsecurity?

First, you normalize the idea of a crisis. Then, you push for false solutions.
What we see in food systems is outcome of decades of political choices. What will happen is consequence of political choices. Food is politics and must be discussed as such.

In Italia il #PNRR prevede quasi 2 miliardi per il #biometano agricolo invece. Con il sospetto che come al solito saranno grandi impianti da alimentare in larga parte con colture dedicate. Sempre dalla parte sbagliata.

At the center of this #foodcrisis is the precarious fact that the production of the world’s 3 staple crops is concentrated in a small number of countries, shipped around the world by a handful of trading firms, grown from a narrow range of seed varieties

Though it's world’s 2nd largest producer of wheat, India consumes most of it. It had set a goal of exporting 10m tonnes of it in 2022-23, looking to capitalise on disruption to wheat supplies from the war and find new markets in Europe, Africa and Asia... https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/may/14/india-bans-all-wheat-exports-food-security-risk?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other
