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… To learn more about Dan Basse click here: https://agresource.com/ Did you like this interview?
