According to a study published by 'The Guardian', global warming is severely affecting food prices, with significant price hikes for products such as coffee, onions, lettuce and olive oil. The analysis, which covers the period 2022-2024, highlights the impact of heat waves and droughts on crops, with examples of dramatic price increases in different countries.
