Maybe for you "adapt to higher prices" is fine but for much of the world this will mean famine and starvation (https://www.wfp.org/stories/hunger-famine-and-starvation-750...)

Also these aren't just minor increases, e.g. Allianz estimate a 31% increase in prices in 2021; for people who live hand to mouth in the developing world this is catastrophic.

Doesn’t even matter the cost, if there isn’t enough to go around people will starve whether they can afford it or not.
