Chefs Val and Nando Chang hosted a gathering with the James Beard Foundation to discuss how climate change is disrupting both the restaurant and farming sectors in South Florida. The event highlighted rising food prices and ingredient shortages caused by extreme weather, emphasizing how these challenges ultimately affect consumers. Notably, Vice President Anne McBride pointed out that chefs do not benefit financially as food prices rise, stressing that the consequences of climate change reach far beyond just the environment, significantly impacting the culinary industry.
"Consumers need to understand our chefs are not making more money as food prices increase. Climate change has a direct impact on the supply chain that your favorite chefs depend on."
"Rising seas, more intense rainfall and increasing wildfires seem to make the headlines every week but extreme weather is already having broader less-noticed impacts on daily lives - take, for instance, the menu at your favorite South Florida restaurant."
