US Drought Brings Mass Livestock Slaughter, Soaring Food Prices to World
Common Dreams — Soaring food prices and mass livestock slaughter are ramifications hitting the world now as a result of the U.S. drought, a report from investment bank Rabobank International says.
These impacts also highlight a global food system unprepared to deal with the impacts of climate change, tied to an industrial livestock raising system dependent upon monocrops produced in a centralized location, in the case of cattle, fed to animals whose physical systems are not set up to ingest them.
Euphemistically referring to the slaughter as “herd liquidation” Rabobank warns this will lead to 14% jump in food prices, theGuardian writes, adding that there has already been a 31% increase in the price of pork.
