Will extreme heat push grocery prices higher?

The video discusses the impact of extreme heat on agriculture, including faster fruit ripening, reduced foot traffic for picking, and stress on crops and labor. A study predicts a 10% drop in corn supply by 2050 due to heat and labor issues, leading to higher food prices. Production costs for corn, wheat, and soybeans have risen significantly since 2019. The U.S. is importing more fruits and vegetables, partly due to high labor costs. Extreme heat in other countries also affects global markets, challenging farmers' financial strategies.
