🌾 🌍 🚜 JPMorgan warns a massive global food supply crisis could begin next year as fertilizer shortages tighten agricultural supply. JPMorgan is the latest institutional research desk to warn that the next global food crisis may already be taking shape, driven by what its analysts describe as the "Five Ws": War, Weather, Warehousing, Water, and Waste. In a new report titled Food Security Is National Security: A Compounding Storm, a team led by London-based senior global economist Nora Szentivanyi warned that disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz and the emergence of a potentially historic El Niño could weaken crop yields, constrain agricultural production, and keep food inflation elevated through the first half of 2027. "Successive shocks since COVID have compounded, eroding food production capacity and keeping food price pressures elevated into 2027," Szentivanyi said, warning that "this is not a short-lived shock; it has reduced the likelihood of near-term disinflation, and the food inflation cycle is likely to exert pressure through 1H27." She expects global food inflation to accelerate from 2.8% in the first half of 2026 to 5% in the first half of next year. The warning comes despite a modest improvement in hunger statistics. About 645 million people faced hunger in 2025, down roughly 43 million from 2022. Yet 2.1 billion people, or 25.8% of the global population, still experienced moderate or severe food insecurity. Szentivanyi outlined the most immediate vulnerability: fertilizer. She noted, "Disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz and the coming super El Niño are adding to fertilizer and food price pressures." She said that "crop and price effects are still building and agricultural impacts lag the oceanic peak by 6 to 12 months." Szentivanyi warned that this year's energy shock could roughly double the inflationary impact of a super El Niño, lifting global food CPI by about 1.5 percentage points, compared with the historical .7-point increase. Food inflation is projected to reach a 5% annualized rate in the first half of 2027, adding .6 percentage points to headline inflation and slowing full-year disinflation by .3 points. "Exposure is concentrated in South and Southeast Asia, including rice, sugar, and coffee; West Africa, including cocoa; and parts of East and Southern Africa," the analyst said, adding, "EM bears the brunt of El Niño. The largest food inflation responses are concentrated in EM Asia and Latin America, where weather-sensitive agriculture plays a larger role in economic activity, and food carries a higher weight in consumption baskets. India, Colombia, Indonesia, Brazil, Taiwan, and Korea emerge as among the most sensitive economies"” Furthermore, China has been stockpiling food, fertilizer, energy, and industrial metals. While the West has strategic oil reserves (quickly draining to offset the loss of Gulf supplies), it lacks a meaningful fertilizer buffer. With the Hormuz chokepoint still disrupted, crop conditions deteriorating, and export controls spreading, Szentivanyi suggests that the next inflation shock may emerge not at the gas pump, as seen earlier this year, but potentially in the grocery aisle next year. This comes as the UN Food and Agriculture Organization's global food price index climbed to a three-year high in July. Bank of America analyst Robert Ohmes recently warned that another food price spike could arrive in supermarkets this fall. He said that grocery inflation "may be on the way," citing a blended index of wages, diesel, and commodity costs. https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/wont-be-short-lived-jpmorgan-warns-next-global-food-crisis-could-erupt-next-year

Did you know the Big 4 Ag Companies: * Syngenta, WEF Partner * BASF, WEF Partner * Bayer, WEF Parnter * Corteva, whose CEO was previously the Board Steward for WEF Food Systems Initiative ... control 56% of the WORLD SEED supply. They own the majority of key CRISPR/gene-editing patents in agriculture and are racing to deploy GENE-EDITED synthetic crops as rapidly as possible (as recommended by the UN & WEF in response to the "looming food crisis") ? They want all food to be their patented, synthetic life -- not natural food. This is the technocrats' hostile takeover of the food system.

🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️ RFRN Radio Comms Workshop in Tauranga Saturday 16 May Trish held an awesome workshop with the assistance of Linc. There was a very good PowerPoint presentation indoors, introducing people into the wonderful world of Radio Comms, and then outdoors in a nearby park there were some great hands-on, interactive practicals. There was excellent feedback from people about the workshop; they now feel inspired to invest in some radios and those who have radios now feel confident to use them. Great work team! Thank you to Trish, Linc, Jean & Maureen, Dee and Kevin, and Lisa for all helping to make this event successful. 🙏 👉 Join our database: https://www.cognitoforms.com/TJB2021LtdVFF/RebuildFreeRadioNetworkDatabase 👉 Follow the channel: https://t.me/RebuildFreeRadioNetwork
