I see a lot of people commenting about inflation and printing money but if you actually read the FAO's analysis, they say a lot of this is due to supply reduction. Maybe the cause is actually more related to climate than monetary policy?

And don't forget energy prices. Several fertilizer plants have temporarily close because with current energy prizes it's not good business. Energy is an input to everything, and directly to food through fertilizers and oil prizes (for agricultural machines and transport). Some people has been predicting inflation because "printing money" for more of 50 years. I predict that if current inflation disappear, nothing will be learn.
