UK food industry saying food prices expected to be up by at least another 9% by December

BBC news article saying prices will be up at least 9% and thats if the war in the middle east concludes swiftly. Otherwise the increases will be higher.

Worth planting as much as possible to try to cushion yourself a bit and picking up extras of things you buy frequently.

Would you mind linking to it please? I’d like to read the article and show it to a few friends. We haven’t fully started our garden for this year and will plan accordingly. We did plant potatoes a couple weeks ago though.

@cloudtree @WhitegreeNcandle thanks both of you. I’m reading the articles right now. I’m a bit worried because we’re going through a financial rough patch at essentially the worst time so I’m trying to keep calm around rebuilding our pantry.
