Interesting comments below. Just some food for thought. Fertilized, less land is required to grow equivalent quantities of crops. Petroleum products, especially natural gas is a raw material as well as fuel for nitrogen fertilizer production. Higher petroleum prices mean higher fertilizer prices. Higher fertilizer prices mean higher food prices. Scarcity increases prices. Worldwide food production is down for many reasons: weather, war, disease, lack of workers, inflation, and cost to fertilize. Expect prices to rise, significantly more than they have.
