Why the Global Food Crisis Is Getting Worse, and What We Can Do Episode 57

from The News Minute USA · host Daniel M. Johnson

The global food crisis is reshaping daily life — higher prices, missing staples, and supply-chain shocks are making it harder for families to afford or access the food they need. Climate extremes, rising energy and fertilizer costs, and conflicts are stacking up to reduce production and push prices higher. This episode explains how availability, access, and affordability interact, who’s most vulnerable, and practical responses — from emergency aid and strengthening local food systems to cutting waste and adapting agriculture — so listeners can understand what’s driving the crisis and what can be done now.
