That's agribusiness for you. Get used to it, climate change is moving the crop seasons and yields.. Luckily you will still be able to afford it.. But for the half billion who wont be able in 20 years its going to get tough..

@whowasthatmaskedman are you referring to global warming? The amount they predict will make the earth wetter not dryer! Lol Egypt will be lush again, like in JCs time!

No.. I was referring to the poor countries growing food for export while they don't have enough to eat.. But some low lying countries and island nations will lose a lot of agricultural land as the water table goes saline..@SW-User
