Global Food Prices Hit Three-Year High As War, Chokepoint Chaos And El Nino Spark Perfect Storm
August 7th, 2026Via: ZeroHedge:
The UN Food and Agriculture Organization’s Food Price Index climbed to a three-year high in July, extending its upward trajectory as conflicts across Eurasia (the Black Sea and the Hormuz chokepoint) disrupt critical trade routes and mounting El Niño risks threaten global harvests.
The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization’s FAO Food Price Index, which tracks monthly changes in the international prices of a basket of globally traded food commodities, averaged 131.09 last month, up .6% from the previous month, led by gains in grain, sugar, and vegetable oils.
Wheat surged 5.8% during the month to a two-year high, while corn climbed 3.6%. Vegetable oil prices reached their highest since June 2022, while meat and dairy prices declined, according to the FAO.
Fueling the price surge is the widening Russia-Ukraine war in the Black Sea, where attacks are increasing and threaten critical bulk-shipping corridors. Disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz are also pushing food prices higher by raising energy, fertilizer, and transportation costs. Layered on top of all this are deteriorating crop conditions in major growing regions across the world as El Niño risks mount, a threat that has been flagged for many months.

Civilian Plane Crash Possibly Related to Military GPS Jamming Test

At the White Sands Missile Range that night, US military personnel were conducting a GPS jamming exercise that left the King Air pilots—and anyone else within hundreds of miles—unable to use modern navigation systems. Forced to revert to older technology, ones that they rarely if ever use, the medevac pilots got disoriented and crashed into the side of a mountain. There were no survivors.

New Zealand: Biometric Payment Terminals
July 31st, 2026“like, wow”.
Via: Radio New Zealand:
Kiwis could soon be able to make purchases using their face or hand, without the need for a card.
EFTPOS New Zealand is rolling out new Verifone Victa biometric payment terminals that will allow people to pay with their faces or palms – without cards.
The new tech can also act as an age verification tool in stores that sell liquor and vapes, for example, or automatically load up people’s loyalty programmes.
Retail NZ chief executive Carolyn Young said when she first heard about the tech, she was “like, wow”.
…
Asked if there were valid privacy concerns around the tech, Young said there was “quite a lot of education and language that needs to be used so that everybody understands what it means”.
