Episode Synopsis

Risk experts have been worried about the implications of climate change for food prices around the world for years.  This episode reports on one of the first studies to try and empirically link specific climate events with specific food price spikes.  No one study can be definitive, but it's an interesting exploration of not only the observed effect on food prices, but the impact of food prices on geopolitical stability.
