The latest report on the state of food security from the UN, a growing trend in hunger is confirmed , especially in underdeveloped countries, as a consequence of natural disasters . Beer is not exempt from the consequences associated with climate change either .beverage in the world, but the heat and drought threaten barley crops, the main ingredient. In this way, there is a growing difficulty for the production of beer, which will inevitably cause its price to rise.
European countries, the most affected A study led by the University of Peking (China) and East Anglia (United Kingdom), published in the journal Nature Plants , has revealed that the harmful effects of climate change will reduce production yields by between 3% and 17%. barley worldwide . Droughts and high temperatures mobile number list are the main causes and will not only affect the exploitation of this ingredient. The economic models used in the study have also shown that beer prices , as a consequence of the foregoing, will increase in countries where its consumption is higher , as is the case in Spain.

If the supply falls and the demand continues to increase, there will not be enough to satisfy all consumers. Furthermore, “not all countries that grow barley produce beer. Only 17% of the barley grown is used to make beer. The rest is used mainly for the manufacture of animal feed," said Dabo Guan, co-author of the study. A double conflict in the face of the demand for barley that would present an opportunity cost. What do we prioritize.
