Another study on the costs of climate change from Kotz and co.: “Recent econometric analysis confirms that abnormally high temperatures directly cause higher food prices, as impacts on agricultural production [3] translate into supply shortages and food price inflation”
We as a society still waste obscene amounts of food. Composting is not a solution but raising prices on convenience manufactured foods and forcing grocers to pay farmers for less than perfect food sold separately from “perfect” produce would allow low-income buyers a choice.
And then there are the water shortages ushering in the privatization of water (water inflation)
Water during emergencies must be available, but it can be distributed as distilled water in large containers. Companies which extract groundwater to sell for pennies in plastic bottles must now have licenses retracted because communities need their spring water for citizens to get out of their taps.
