Cost of living: Farmers and food producers
As part of our cost of living mini series we take a look at how farmers and food producers around the world are coping with the rising costs of growing crops and rearing cows.
In this Business Daily mini series we're exploring how businesses we all use regularly are being affected by the cost of living crisis.
Leanna Byrne goes from farm to fork, first speaking to farmers in Malawi and Canada about the rising costs of growing crops and rearing dairy cows, then getting the macro picture from Food Drink Europe, which represents food and drink giants like Nestle, Unilever and Danone.
We also hear from Chris Hegadorn, Secretary of the UN’s Committee on World Food Security, who says that rising food prices in a developing country could be completely destablising.
