A Horrifying Drought Is Causing Widespread Crop Failures Throughout The United States And Europe<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/header>\n

\"\"<\/a>We really are reaching a major crisis point.\u00a0 Thanks to soaring fertilizer prices, insane weather patterns and the war in Ukraine, global food supplies have been getting\u00a0tighter and tighter<\/a>.\u00a0 So we really needed a banner year for agricultural production in both the United States and Europe in 2022, and that is not going to happen.\u00a0 In fact, unprecedented drought is absolutely devastating crops all over the northern hemisphere.\u00a0 A lot of people are complaining about how high food prices are\u00a0right now<\/a>, but just wait.\u00a0 If some sort of a miracle doesn\u2019t happen, agricultural production is going to be way below expectations in both the United States and Europe, and that is going to have very serious implications for 2023.<\/p>\n

Let me start by talking about the nightmare that is starting to unfold in Europe.<\/p>\n

According\u00a0to CNN<\/a>, it is now being projected that farmers in Italy have lost \u201cup to 80% of their harvest\u201d because the drought has become so severe\u2026<\/p>\n

In Italy, farmers in some parts of the country have lost up to 80% of their harvest this year due to severe weather anomalies, the Coldretti farming association said Thursday.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How are those farmers going to survive?<\/p>\n

Many farmers in France are facing similar losses because they have only been receiving\u00a0a fraction of the rainfall<\/a>\u00a0that they normally get\u2026<\/p>\n

In France, where an intense drought has hammered farmers and prompted widespread limits on freshwater use, there was just 9.7 millimetres (0.38 inches) of rain last month, Meteo France said.<\/p>\n

That was 84 percent down on the average levels seen for July between 1991 and 2022, making it the driest month since March 1961, the agency added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Crop failures in France would be a really, really big deal, because France is normally\u00a0\u201cthe fourth-largest exporter of wheat\u201d<\/a> in the entire world\u2026<\/p>\n
