The global food system faces heightened vulnerability due to its reliance on a few staple crops grown in climate-sensitive regions. Extreme weather events could disrupt supply chains, leading to price volatility and food shortages. Cocoa, a key ingredient in confectionery, is particularly at risk, with potential impacts on farmers in West Africa who depend on it for their livelihoods. While alternative ingredients offer resilience and price stability, they may also pose ethical concerns, such as the displacement of smallholder farmers and energy-intensive production methods. Consumers may face higher costs for conventional foods, potentially making them luxury items.
