Summary

Grocery prices are expected to rise globally as soil degradation, driven by overfarming, deforestation, and climate change, reduces farmland productivity.

The UN estimates 33% of the world’s soils are degraded, with 90% at risk by 2050. Poor soil forces farmers to use costly fertilizers or abandon fields, raising prices for staples like bread, vegetables, and meat.

Experts advocate for sustainable practices like regenerative agriculture, cover cropping, and reduced tillage to restore soil health.

Innovations and government subsidies could mitigate impacts, but immediate action is critical to ensure food security.

      Of course it’s bread. Just think about the energy required to bake them!

        I know a vegan with celiacs.

        She’s real inspirational whenever I see people say they can’t go vegan. If she can do it, then almost anyone can.

        It’s true, my great great grandfather ate bread.

        Is he alive? No. Coincidence? I think not.
