We Are 6 Months From Global Food Shortages Because Farmers Are Facing A Quadruple Whammy Crisis
Authored by Michael Snyder via TheMostImportantNews.com,
We have never faced anything quite like this. Diesel fuel and fertilizer have become far more expensive as a result of the conflict in the Middle East, and extreme weather is playing havoc with crops all over the planet. Here in the United States, we just experienced the driest first three months of a year in recorded history. No, that isn't an exaggeration. Now a “Super El Niño” is coming, and that means that drought conditions are going to get even worse in many areas of the world. The “Super El Niño” of 1877-1878 resulted in widespread droughts that killed more than 50 million people, and now we are being warned that the upcoming “Super El Niño” could be even worse. Our farmers have never faced a “perfect storm” of this magnitude, and global food production is going to be way down in the months ahead.

′Give every item a long life′: Vinted boss on how the site is moving beyond fashion (The Guardian)

Having shaken up UK clothes retail, the secondhand marketplace is pushing into phones and cameras – and even booksOnce the preserve of jumble sales and charity shops, “preloved” fashion and homewares are now leading style and shopping trends in the UK. After the rapid growth of online retail, Britain is now witnessing “the normalisation of secondhand”, according to Adam Jay, the chief executive of Vinted's main marketplace arm – a key driver of the trend in recent years.The UK is at the forefront of an international revolution, jostling for position with France to be Vinted's biggest market, and is also one of its fastest growing markets, as the online marketplace moves beyond just selling clothes and into everything from smartphones and books to rugs.

The Treasury′s supermarket food price cap wheeze was bananas | Nils Pratley (The Guardian)
|

Retailers such as M&S need not worry – the UK is not in a state of emergency and competition is clearly workingCall for food price caps 'preposterous', says M&S boss“Completely preposterous,” said Stuart Machin, chief executive of Marks & Spencer, about the Treasury's proposal for voluntary price caps on food staples. He was outdone in the outrage stakes by City analyst Clive Black at Shore Capital, who thought the government “appears to be losing its mind in an orgy of neo-Soviet policy ideas”.Both men can probably calm down. First, it's not the first time a panicky administration, feeling the heat from cost-of-living pressures caused by rising energy costs, has flirted with the notion of limited and voluntary price caps in supermarkets. The last time was 2023 under the Tory premiership of Rishi Sunak, who is few people's idea of a neo-Soviet apparatchik. Second, as with Sunak's dalliance, it's not going to happen. Treasury ministers on Wednesday barely bothered to defend the...

A "Rubbish, Knee-Jerk Reaction": UK Treasury Pushes Food Price Caps As Inflation Re-Accelerates
UK supermarkets are being urged by the government to limit food prices in return for easing regulations.
As first reported by The Financial Times, the price caps are 'voluntary' and would apply to key groceries – such as eggs, bread, and milk - according to retail industry sources with knowledge of the plans.
In return, the government has said it would offer “incentives” to the supermarkets, which the people said could include easing packaging policies and potentially delaying costly changes to rules around healthy food.
As one may well expect, supermarkets are understood to be strongly opposed to the plans.
The Treasury has declined to comment.
The proposals come as Sir Keir Starmer's government is battling to address public concern over the cost of living.
Scottish retailers recently condemned a similar policy by the Scottish National Party as a “1970s-style” gimmick.
