Weather is an important reason for the rise in food prices. Why? According to the latest news report, our global food prices will usher in a large-scale growth. Many people were surprised when the news was sold. 202 1 is at the critical moment of the epidemic, the economic level is recovering, and people are just starting to work. The skyrocketing food prices will inevitably have a certain impact on people's lives and put a lot of pressure on a family. Many people are puzzled that the main culprit of the large-scale rise in food prices is the weather.

As we all know, the main food producing countries are some American countries, such as the United States, Canada, Brazil, Argentina and so on. What we are familiar with are the major grain-growing countries in the world. Some countries in Europe have large-scale grain cultivation and a large number of grain transactions every year. The main reason for this increase in food prices is the extensive bad weather in the United States.

It is understood that there has been a long-term drought in the Americas, especially in the north-central part of the United States. Due to the continuous deterioration of drought, the risks faced in the current planting season have increased, resulting in a large number of farm land being idle, and the number of agricultural products in the current market has decreased, so food prices have followed suit.

Although the soaring food price is due to the weather, the fundamental reason is that we humans have destroyed nature too seriously, because a large number of agricultural land has been occupied, which leads to that at present we can only make up for the vacancy on the land through the advantage of output. A large number of farmland has been transformed into commercial land and residential areas by human beings, and some forests, lakes and swamps have been used for commercial activities. Large-scale deforestation leads to empty planting areas, and natural disasters such as hurricanes occur every year. Without the blocking effect of forests and wetlands, the planted land is often faced with great risks, and it will become useless if it is not paid attention to for one year.

In addition, due to the waste and extensive use of water resources, the water resources currently used for agricultural irrigation is also a big problem. Because of the continuous drought in many places, planting must be irrigated artificially, but the current situation obviously does not apply to this practice.

Persistent drought, water shortage and other natural disasters such as storms that may strike at any time are all risks that may be encountered in the current planting areas. These bad weather conditions have also affected the rise of international food prices to a certain extent, so that we can often hear the news of rising food prices.
