June heatwave knocks €2 billion off European harvest prospects – new analysis
"New analysis [1] suggests that the June heatwave is likely to have cost European grain [2] farmers around €2 billion in lost revenue, destroying 10 million tonnes of forecast production. The extreme heat affected kernel filling for wheat and maize pollination [3]."https://eciu.net/media/press-releases/june-heatwave-knocks-2-billion-off-european-harvest-prospects-new-analysis

"Climate change is turning one-off weather shocks into more regular events that can decimate harvests and strain supply chains. As their effects compound, extreme heat and droughts threaten to make climate inflation an economic fixture.
The price effects of extreme weather can go well beyond food."

A summer without peach cobbler
"All across Utah this year, tree fruit growers are reporting near-total harvest losses. After one of the warmest, driest winters in state memory, a record-breaking spring heat wave pushed orchards into bloom three weeks early — then a series of April freezes followed, devastating much of the state’s crop."

"Two-thirds of U.S. voters agree that global warming is affecting the cost of living to some degree, according to new survey data from the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication, including most Democrats and moderate Republicans. Of those two-thirds, a majority of them said that climate change was driving up what they pay for groceries, utility bills, and home insurance."

"Heatwaves are becoming more extreme and frequent, making it harder to grow food crops.
While summer heatwaves are making headlines, Professor Atkin said they could and did occur at other times of the year when temperatures pushed above the normal during the day and night.
That includes during spring, a critical time for wheat flowering."

"Nebraska’s winter wheat farmers could be abandoning much of their crop this year due to one of the most devastating droughts on record.
The USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service predicted this month that 580,000 acres will be harvested. That’s about 225,000 acres lower than last year’s harvest. Eighty-five percent of wheat acres were harvested last year, but only 64% is expected to be harvested in 2026."

"Fruit tree production in the Intermountain West, which covers Colorado, Utah and Idaho, is threatened by diminishing water supplies, spring frosts, variable winter temperatures and soils that are above the ideal pH range for peach trees. Further exacerbating the environmental stresses are pest problems and the persistent cytospora canker disease."

"The breeding response to all of this is real but, by its own researchers’ assessment, increasingly insufficient. Wheat scientists have been developing varieties with better heat tolerance, faster maturation, and improved drought resistance for decades. However, it’s still racing against a trajectory that doesn’t appear to be slowing down at the rate required to keep the gap manageable."

"South Punjab’s world-famous mango industry is facing a serious setback this season, as climate change has impacted the production of Summer Bahisht Chaunsa, one of the most prized mango varieties in Pakistan.
According to local growers, the first week of March brought an unexpected rise in temperature, which disrupted the natural flowering and fruit-setting process."

“Climate change and weather extremes will drive down global caloric yields by about 24% under high future emissions.
“This would result in higher food prices, which in rich countries would feel like inflation. In poor countries, this would exacerbate food security problems and could negatively affect political stability.”

#ClimateInflation in the price of food in North America:
"Projected warming by 2035 would drive food inflation up by 1.4 to 1.8 percentage-points per-year on average across North America (for low-end (SSP1-2.6) and high-end (SSP5-8.5) warming scenarios, respectively). By 2060, warming-driven food inflation across North America would reach 1.9 to 3.9 percentage-points per-year, respectively."

Climate Change Linked To 40% Of UK Food Price Hikes
Staples like butter, beef, milk, coffee and chocolate account for nearly 40% of all food price inflation, despite comprising only 11% of an average shopping basket, according to the study.
This trend challenges arguments that minimum-wage hikes or other domestic factors are the main cause of inflation.
Climate impacts added an estimated £360 (€414) to the average UK household food bill in 2022-23."

"Serbia has suffered from extreme drought in addition to frost in 2025, compounding the detrimental effects on crops.
The lack of rain has devastated corn crops, and the frost destroyed much of the fruit and vegetable yield, leading to extremely high grocery prices."

"Beyond potatoes, Maine's other top crops are suffering. Blueberry growers are warning of reduced harvests this year, and Canada's industry — which supplies much of the U.S. — could see losses of up to one-third. Meanwhile, vegetable gardeners across the region are reporting wilting plants and dry soil.
For consumers, this means higher prices at the grocery store. "

Tariff inflation
Deportations inflation"Grocery prices last month rose at their fastest pace in three years, stoked by Trump’s tariffs, a crackdown on immigration, and extreme weather hurting food production. Prices jumped 0.6% in August from the month prior, according to the latest reading from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and they are up 2.7% from a year ago."

"Climate change is contributing to a global shortage of the world’s most consumed fruit.
Bananas are the fourth most important food crop globally, with more than 400 million people relying on the fruit for 15% to 27% of their daily calories, and they’re not the only crop at risk.
Climate models show that mitigation efforts are the best ways we can reduce climate impacts on our food supply."

"The cost of a wide range of goods – from vegetables in California to coffee in Brazil – saw dramatic spikes in recent years due to weather conditions that were “so extreme they exceeded all historical precedent prior to 2020,” according to [a new] study.
By driving up food prices extreme weather conditions can also worsen overall inflation, which can lead to political unrest and social upheaval, the researchers noted."
