What is inflation and why has it happened?

It occurs worldwide! no matter where you live, the food prices increased! This is insane! If people stop using processesed food as ingredients but instead use chickens eggs, meat and veg grown from their own 'unlicensed' farms would the meal price remains or priced even cheaper? Still depends on the regulations, does your government mandates that every farm must be licenced so they can collect something called 'tithes' from the farmers? I don't know every country is different.

Most people don't want to and can't be farmers. Half the population doesn't even own any arable land.
Plus organic crops are harder to grow, harder to store and have a much shorter shelf life.
If everyone grew things organically half the world would starve to death.
Also we are coming out of a global pandemic, disrupted supply chains, economic crisis, a war from a global superpower, climate change, overpopulation and failing economic systems. So yeah things aren't going to be cheap on a finite bit of earth.
