Global Crop Yields Have Plateaued
Today I spoke with economist and agriculture expert Dan Basse of AgResource. The discussion was more than I expected—the US and the world are facing serious food security issues. Dan goes into great detail during our discussion on:
- What “peak farmland” is and why it will be the defining issue for US agriculture and food production...
- How China’s global wheat reserves could create supply shortfalls in the rest of the world...
- Why food prices globally and domestically will continue to remain “sticky” over the next 5 to 10 years...
- Why the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict will cause massive food shortages in the Middle East and Africa and how Latin America could make up the shortfall...
- How climate change is affecting global crop yields and why we’re just one adverse event away from a food crisis...
