The Great tomato shortage

March 03, 2023 • Philip Russell / Paul Russell • Season 3 • Episode 16

We are currently facing a tomato and Salad shortage. Now, this isn't something to really worry about because food shortages can occur for numerous reasons. Due to the Drought that happened last year in Europe causing poor harvests overseas, especially in Spain and north Africa, the UK has been particularly exposed to shortages because of supermarket contracts and high energy costs facing domestic suppliers.
Additionally, Europe is facing a vegetable shortage for all the same reasons

In summary, food shortages can result from a variety of factors, including weather and climate, pests and diseases, economic factors, political and social factors, infrastructure issues, population growth, and environmental degradation. Addressing these issues will require a combination of strategies, including improving agricultural practices, investing in infrastructure, addressing economic and social inequalities, and taking action to mitigate climate change.
