In a recent analysis, experts shed light on a concerning issue surrounding the exacerbation of the food crisis and the role played by various organizations. The focus is on the actions of hedge funds, powerful investment firms driven by profit, and their impact on global food prices. It is reported that ten of the largest hedge funds made a staggering $2 billion from the surge in food prices following Russia's military offensive in Ukraine.

The analysis highlights the findings of a report by Greenpeace's investigative journalism branch Unearthed and Lighthouse Reports, which emphasizes the alarming profits made by hedge funds. These funds were found to have intentionally inflated a price bubble, putting upward pressure on food prices. As a result, the world's poorest people, already vulnerable to hunger, have been further affected.

Additionally, the report discusses the substantial windfall profits made by the globe's 20 largest food companies during the past two years. These companies, capitalizing on rising food prices during the Covid-19 pandemic and the crisis in Ukraine, have contributed to an enormous transfer of wealth to a few wealthy families who control the global food system.

The repercussions of these actions are felt globally, as staple food prices, such as wheat and fertilizers, have sharply risen. The situation is exacerbated by deficiencies in the Ukraine grain deal and economic restrictions on Russia's agricultural exports, resulting in heightened food insecurity for many vulnerable countries.

The analysis concludes by emphasizing the urgent need for stricter regulations in the market, transparency in the food industry, and limitations on the positions investors can take. It calls for collective responsibility to ensure that the food market serves the needs of all and that no one profits from the desperation and vulnerability of others.

In summary, the analysis sheds light on the exploitation of the food market by hedge funds and food companies, leading to increased food prices and exacerbating global hunger.
