Food Survey Expecting Some Relief In Grocery Prices

A senior director of the AgriFood Analytics Laboratory at Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia calls the global food situation increasingly dire, but some relief is on the way. Sylvain Charlebois says you have to go back more than a decade to find the same level of food insecurity on a global basis, however, prices are expected to decrease. Commodity prices are falling, Charlebois says, meaning Newfoundlanders and Labradorians could see grocery prices peak between July and September. “The relief is visible,” says Charlebois, but “the problem is that we’re not out of the woods yet.”
