There is a perfect storm brewing in the food industry. Investments in the spring when crops are planted were down. There is a solar minimum occurring which will effect the yield of food grown. There is a locust plague going on in some parts of the world. A large number of countries, because of the pandemic have halted exports of food. Another aspect of the pandemic is that food is exported to be processed, then re-imported to be consumed, and this has slowed or stopped. There are some models that suggest large populations on the planet to be starving by the end of the year.
