Increased Food Cost

Agricultural failures lead to increased food costs. Everyday items like bread, milk, coffee, meats, and produce can all rise in costs when there is a problem with the farming industry. Climate change- related agricultural issues include:

• • Increased temperatures/heat waves

  • Opportunistic aggressive species/pests

  • Disease (mad cow/avian flu)

  • Transportation/energy problems

  • Lack of precipitation/drought

  • Strong winds/more powerful storms

  • Ornamental species or species from other locations that have no pests could be introduced
