This article and the associated study are about food costs in developing nations like Indonesia.
The article mentions that inflation in the United States is much more pedestrian:
> In the U.S., prices rose close to 3% in the year ending Jan. 2, according to NielsenIQ, roughly double the overall rate of inflation.
Buying and storing food is an inherently inefficient process relative to buying the same food as needed. You would end up spending more to build and maintain food reserves than you would save against inflation. Far more.
The article doesn’t suggest that we’re at risk of running out of food.
