Research by the Food Foundation shows that, on average, healthy food is twice as expensive per calories as less healthy food. "People are noticing, with rising food prices number two on the list of climate impacts they see in their lives, second only to extreme heat itself. "Sadly, when the price of food shoots up, low-income families often have to resort to less nutritious, cheaper foods. The research comes ahead of the UN Food Systems Summit Stocktake on Sunday 27 July, where world leaders will meet to discuss threats to the global food system. The event is co-hosted by Ethiopia and Italy, both of whom have been hit by climate change-induced food price shocks and are featured in the study.
