When I bought a farmland last year, my colleagues were laughing at me but in fact I wanted food security for my family
Unless you have a huge family or private security you wont be able to keep your food to yourself if inflation goes wild
After collapse of Soviet Union there was a severe food shortage throughout the regional countries including mine, what actually saved us was our village house where we would grow fruits and vegetables and preserve them for winter and spring .
We did the same thing. A small holding with fertile soil and my knowledge of subsidiary farming has been the biggest saving grace to my family's total expenses...especially since my mom and dad lost their jobs during the Pandemic
No such thing as total food security. Even for us here in Borneo where households that rear their own chicken is very common.
You’re still at the mercy of fuel prices, feed and fertilizer cost. At most you can supplement. Just because you have a farm doesn’t mean you can stop going to groceries stores.
Farm and animals hwo has that as country they save their Future include own national companies
I really admire how Sandra Gathmann conduct this programme with style, professionalism and objectivity. Kudos to Al Jazeera for the contemporary content and eye-catching visual appeal. Kind request to do an episode on Sri Lanka's engagement with the UNHRC after the end of its Civil War in 2009 or an episode on the UNHRC in general taking selected countries as examples.
as a German Biologist and Pythagorean - the SADDEST part is - the FARMER gets nothing of this at all. If you want to live a good life - you certainly never become a Farmer and Food producer.Even the local Food Markets do not profit from it. The Price and Mass Production Pressure for Picture Book high quality products is ruinous. Plus international Competition. We get Products from all over the world. Last week Last week fresh Strawberries. In Mid Winter And the Farmers are in lethal pressure to comply. Become a Farmer and grow your own food
Not everyone can still do manual labor. Some people live in small rooms inside concrete jungles... and have you seen the price $$$$ of land?
@@MikeSmith-tm3zq some people live in tiny tents on streets .- some even have no tents . some even have nothing to eat. We all end up there...nice meeting you there
@raginald7 Mars you mentioned as as German Biologist and Pythagorean, what do you mean a Pythagorean ?
I want to invest in farming in Africa and export to out of the continent too, do you suggest I proceed with farming investment or not ? Or investment in export / import. You are not an investment expert I'm aware, just asking randomly.
Love this lady..She is trusting..she explain her subject with logic & reasons ... Thank you..

here in Kenya ,foodprices have gone up ..and famine is knocking at our doorstep ,however we can breath a sigh of relief as the rains have arrived much earlier
But we don't have supply chain problems from nyandarua to Nairobi or anywhere in Kenya we have a tax problem
@@janendegwa5462
Plus the Ukraine war.
THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS SECTION OF REPORTING 🧡💫⭐️🌷
Nothing but corporate greed , is the main problem. And then price gouging, using covid as a excuse !
LOGISTIC... Shipping owners made huge profits.. people are bidding and willing to pay CRAZY charter rate..
In the end these expenses are dumped on consumers..
let me guess...there will be no mention of corporate profitability, huge executive salaries and bonuses and of course dividends for shareholders...its all a smoke screen for multiple other agendas
There should be price control on food.
And things like 30-40% food waste in western countries...sick.
EBT foodstamps are killing food prices and cooperate greed.
I'm so glad I am now fasting for health. I gave up all snacks and will eat just one or two meals per day. It is healthier anyway. The grocery stores, food industry, restaurants and bars will suffer if every adopts this healthier way.
Yes me too!
Because of bad policies, inflation, very ill equipped people in positions of power in multiple governments.
Nah, its main cause is population. Thanos might be eventually right
It’s all about greed and eradicating middle class and poor people
This is the best topic that's really beneficial!
This my favorite show on this channel
Vegetable oil prices are up 90%
Sugar 45%
Rice 10%
I’m a food whole seller based in Dubai
Thats not too bad. Rice is up 20% here in US.
Vegetable oil and sugary are very unhealthy anyway. None of us should be eating those at all. Hope they go to $1000 dollars per ounce.
I spent the entire news coverage watching this beautiful journalist rather than getting time to hear world's problems. I would rather sit there and watch her all the day than any other world problems.

@@toddpacker7058 dammit beat me to it
I love this program you did great job 👏
So, I live in a rural part of Florida. The number 1 business in the county is still agriculture. I have a friend who has a cattle ranch; he tells me that they did not get as much per cow these last 2 years as before. I have another friend who has some citrus groves; he tells me the price he got for his citrus is also down. As luck would have it, I also know a dairyman who got less then before.. I have a fried who stops her office job to go pick fruit every year for the extra cash. They are not being paid any more then before either. So.. yes the are are higher prices in the grocery..to bad they are not being passed down to the people who produce.
Corporate consolidation
It's a sad part of the food industry. And if you want to become a farmer, it's expensive to get into. People in the industry don't get paid well and there's not many people able to get in.
great videos keep them coming!!!
The only thing that tops Sandra's analysis is her world-class voice. I can listen to her all day.
Your analysis is extremely awesome . 👌
I like her. Shes legit. Like the cool girl at the party that makes you stutter when you try to say hi to her.
She's young that's why lil man.
Food prices are rising because people don't know what it takes to produce the food. In a rual area honey is cheap, but in the city it's as expensive as gold.
Good quality honey isn't cheap, even in rural areas. To keep an apiary surrounded by organic produce & flowers so your bees aren't feeding on plants sprayed with pesticides or fed chemical fertilizers costs $$.
Do you know what place utility is?
@@entropicpedro It's making an item readily available to people in their location, yes?
@@freedomfighter4990 exactly. So honey will be cheaper in places producing honey and will be expensive in places that don't produce honey due to increased demand, logistics costs, etc...
Thanks a lot
Thanks 🙏!
Love Al Jazeera news from a different perspective
By far the best anchor woman and news presentation on TH-cam !
Food waste is still observable in dumping ground. That actually shows not only food source, the food distribution also problem
Thank you Sandra
Nice documentary. Thanks.
We have enough food, people just need to stop wasting food!.!.
Very interesting and synthetic , Good job
Amazingly explained..
My favorite start here in AJ
outstanding analysis,,,well done and appreciated Al jazeera english
Informative program 👍
Because the US printed too much dollars during pandemic which is triggering inflation up.
My advice is countries should figure out a way to increase food production within their borders and reduce food imports to as low as possible.. Produce more food within and reduce food imports..
nice info
What goes up must come down. Just like the natural waves of the ocean, Hyperinflation can only be followed by an eventual crash. The roaring 20s were followed by the great depression. Like the homeless crisis isn't big enough already.
So glad i have more years behind me than in front of me.
Dang, I saw some food prices rising in local fast food restaurants. That's so weird.
Please upload regular episode, it's best session on Aljeezra.
GREAT CHANNEL.
"Why are food prices rising?" - because the international organized crime syndicate of financial outlaws, also known as plutocrats, has just one thing on their agenda: to become wealthier.
nice episode
Intermittent fasting I only eat one to two meals a day instead of 3. Also I dont by packaged foods. I make everything from scratch.
That what happen when people thrown away alot of food is about time we can start saving food
Printing money out from thin air. Period
Interest rates need to raise.
Go study what Japan's economic policies were during the early to mid 2010's.
Do you know the difference between cost-push inflation and demand-pull inflation?
Fiat Currency
Exactly! The whole world is feeling the side effects of zero or low interest rates. You can't create something out of nothing. The fed just keep on lending and printing. When a lot of easy money is available the market keeps getting more valuable for no reason. Wall Street and other markets are doing huge profits by simply passing of the debt or investment without trying to balance of the inflation. People in this planets has been cheated by banks and government alliances. Natural resources must be valuated more so that the world gets more stable. These economic tricks can't go on for ever. It's hurting all middle and low income people of the world. We need more honest credit rating institutions that tell it as it is so the country that is playing accountant tricks and passing it of as real business can be more isolated so they don't pass it of.
Very informative and well presented, as are all your videos. I believe your lack of sensationalism and adherence to calmly presenting the facts makes your channel stand out in the media. The first step to a consensus style governance is an informed electorate. I am a new subscriber to your channel. Thank you.
I love the way she presents and the angles she choose to talk about in every video, plus the little background, it's just great 👍
thanks Sandra gathman aunty
Short answer, Price Gouging! There trying to make up for lost profits in 2020
This will carry on and stockouts, shortages will be rampant !
Stock essentials please as during Civil unrest, lockdowns it will difficult to go outdoors and buy if items are available. !
i loveee aljazeera the Most❤❤❤❤
All the sci-fi movies in which civilization is destroyed are becoming true.😢
Doesn't help that rent costs half a person's monthly pay for increasingly dismal property...
0:25 this is in Bogota, thanks AlJazeera for keep an eye on the forgotten
It's simple really.... You print money, prices rise, but income doesn't rise at the same rate.
why didnt that happen so easily in Japan during the 2010s?
You're amazing
I really like START HERE.
So the multi-national corporations are not making record profits?
Amazing video. Can you please make one on just how climate crisis alone is impacting inflation globally?
Simple. Greed is the first scene and last scene.
I thought Gordon Gecko said Greed is Good.
Really, not supply and demand 🤦🏾♂️
You have it backwards. Inflation is due to trying to eradicate greed. This is basic economics. If you embraced perfect greed then the system would be fair and inflation would be zero everywhere. People like you are the cause of inflation.
@@AbbeyRoad69147 I don't follow ...
@@12thninja The central banks around the world printed money to try create equality and mitigate a recession. This is the cause of inflation. If they let natural competition take its course, then we would have a recession and a recovery, and no inflation. Their intervention made it worse. They intervened to appease people LIKE YOU.
Ok, Olivia Duhnan, let’s talk about food, can I invite you for a diner ? That’s food!
Welcome 💝
Food prices are ridiculous
As a trucker I'll tell you the pay for the trucking industry is way way too low. We spend a lot of time away from home and that much time away from our families creates a horrible burden on our families. We desperately need more money to offset so much time away from home.
Remember, there are people involved in every step of inflation
Can you say who are they? And what are their intentions?
@@Fan-zx1lz -
CEOs of corporations.
Unchecked human greed.
@@kingmichaelthelastwarrior Yes. I am witnessing it in my country India.
ohh man--i'm in love with this woman
Human greed, take some responsibility for your actions and stop blaming everyone else.
Yep! They've got to get that Stimulus money back somehow.
Jesus is free to help those who ask. Those who seek their Creator can still do so for free. Some things are free still.
That's what caused the inflation in the first place. Giving away free money is inflationary.
It gets even deeper in that rabbit hole.
Did you listen to the reporting here before you all commented? I think not
@@crand20033 Oh but giving other countries millions of dollars every week isn't harmful?
It's the Government's controlling everything that's harming us. Helping their own isn't in their plans/agenda
Keep it up My love
Corporate greed. They need more in profit.
cool
The basket price of food ingredients increased at least 33% due to covid19
Start here can make a small topics on different countries issue with their neighbour countries.
hiw about effects of real estate on agricultural production
Kelloggs will be loving this
@Start here pls cover in ref to depleting foreign reserves in Nepal & Sri Lanka. Nepal in ref to MCC too.
People using EBT to buy 300 dollars in food at a time is killing prices.
This is by far the worst part of the pandemic
In Nigeria it's over 500% for some food, i don't think it's this one here affecting us but our own economy itself
It's the same.
Nigeria imports a lot. Boko haram issues have impacted food supply from some parts of the north.
Few people in urban and even some rural areas don't grow veggies, so any disruption in import or supply, prices keep rising
because the system is collapsing
Food and Groceries becomes the wants....and it takes people to provide the local and cultural tastes...
We go in circles
THE WAY YOU TALK I AM IN LOVE WITH YOU
GOD BLESS YOU
There is no Shipping Container shortage. They have not been returned to their port of origin.
I remember watching a inside story video early this year and a particular economist said that the best place to watch to predict inflation is not govt policies but the supply chain thing...
Tho many say it's temporary. But how long is temporary?
Maybe if the world's wealthy had less and the rest of us had more, things in general wouldn't be so bad.
I think just now with this comment you fell on the bad side of the capitalist.
It's the hoarding and bailouts that is the main issue. If they took real risks in a free market it would be survival of the fittest. But in reality special instrest groups and big corporate is basically turning the world in to metal gear solid.
There`s not so much a shortage of containers, rather, a shortage of shipping container companies willing to send ships around the world picking up the empty containers :)
Farming is the way to go not to get affected by the escalating cost of food.
Plz do an analysis on Iran Nuclear Deal.
And one of the main ongoing tussle between Russia and western countries will also contribute to rise oil prices further.
every thing went up at the world .food price is so expensive now adayes
Because the world printed to much money, not just complex, its government fault
❤️❤️
What she mentions is just part of a problem, let us not forget corporate greed, after all when you buy food from a re-seller, most of the time the re-seller (supermarket) makes about 70% of the profits as they bulk buy in huge amounts and then sell for a lot more than they bought it for
Pandemic and fuel prices are two main cause of inflation.
Actually, the main cause of inflation are Central Banks!
can you please update increase of food prices in relation with russia ukraine war?
