What do I think will happen to food prices? what has already happened? Prices have gone up even though 2/3rds of farmland in America is in private non corp ownership. If you want to talk about food standards - steady on the US is the second biggest agr trader and the reason for this is, that it's food standards are horrible - low standards, means it can produce food cheap enough to dump on other markets. The largest food producer is the EU and has one of the highest food standards in the world - (for me Food production in the US is a shit coin on multiple levels because of lax standards).
Farming is inherently linked to the fiat system, they both go hand in in hand because they need each other. A lot of agriculture is broken in many parts of the world particularly because of government policy and the need to appease farmers as a political class. Governments need votes so they do things in favour of certain groups - whether that turning a blind eye to fertiliser run off, not enforcing stubble burning, allowing for the depletion of the water table for soy or cattle etc etc... Heck look into the Doha agreement, a round of trade talks that started in 2001 for just how cucked agriculture is.
Anyways, my point being is the system on the whole is broken and it's hard for anyone to do anything about it because at the end of the day you have to be able to eat. As I said farmers work hard, you can't take that away from them, some farmers even farm in sustainable ways which is great for the planet. However, many don't, many are just trying to make enough to get buy and that's enough for them.
Finally there's no such thing as a free market - 'regulatory capture' , as ultimately, regulators have the final say over anything. They pick both winners and losers, why because the can, they'e people at the end of the day who are governed by their own self interests
PS I listen to Safs podcast some of the stuff he writes and have read both the bitcoin and fiat standard but at the same time have my own take on things based upon my own experiences.
