Is Climate Change a Driver of Food Price Inflation?

Matthew Gammans and K. Aleks Schaefer

We consider the role that recent climate change plays in rising food prices. We survey the academic literature to assess how climate change may affect costs throughout the food supply chain. Our back-of-the-envelope calculations imply that climate change has played little role in recent food price inflation.

Congress Passes Budget Reconciliation Package, Includes Some Farm Bill Programs

On July 1st, the Senate passed its version of the “One Big Beautiful Bill” budget reconciliation package. Vice President JD Vance was needed to break a 50-50 tie to ultimately secure passage. The House approved the Senate-passed version on July 3rd by a vote of 218-214 paving the way for President Trump’s signature on July 4th. Due to Senate parliamentary rules, several changes were required in the Senate to allow the bill to pass by a simple majority. The final package includes mandatory funding for a wide array of agriculture programs traditionally found in Farm Bill legislation ranging from commodity programs to conservation and nutrition. The legislation also includes funding for several agricultural research programs. Most notably it provides $125 million per year to fund the Research Facilities Act to help address research infrastructure needs. This program will be administered by the National Institute of Food and Agriculture and it is expected that there will be a competitive process announced in the coming months for the program.
