Australia's Supermarket Price Fix Sounds Good. It Probably Won't Work. Australia's July 1 price gouging ban only targets two retailers and ignores the real cost drivers of food inflation. Here's why regulation won't solve the problem.

End of an era for general store owned by family for 100 years The Tharwa General Store — which has been run by the same family since 1926 — has been many things: a post office, a mechanic's workshop, a fuel stop, a lolly shop, a watering hole, and above all, a place where a community comes together. #rural #remote #communities #supermarkets #history

If we want UK-centred food security we must guarantee farmers a decent living without them having to sign solar farm contracts. Solar brings in guaranteed £1000+ per acre pa over 30+ years. To compare with what wheat, barley, rape etc, bring in.

UK must stockpile food in readiness for climate shocks or war, expert warns Prof Tim Lang says country produces far less food than it needs to feed population and is particularly vulnerable

12,284 #supermarkets around the UK are “fed” by just 131 distribution centres.
These were a “sitting duck” for drone or cyber-attacks by malign states, he said: “9 big retailers account for 94.5% of all retail food…using just 131 distribution centres. In #DroneWar, that’s a sitting duck.” #r4today

European grocery chains promote plant-based choices via private-label products—with lower prices—and via expansion into more traditional products (like tofu, hummus). This could offer lessons for supermarkets elsewhere.

While voluntary measures by retailers can improve the food environment, mandatory structural changes are most effective for improving disparities in the access to healthy food.

Heavy rainfall in Spain and Morocco disrupts UK fruit and vegetable supplies UK supermarkets are experiencing sporadic shortages of certain fruits and vegetables due to severe weather conditions in Spain and Morocco, two key suppliers of fresh produce to the British market. Strawberries, raspberries, avocados and peppers have been identified as the most affected items, according to analysis of Assosia data reported by The Grocer. Parts of southern Spain and Morocco have endured weeks of torrential rain, which has significantly disrupted agricultural production. Spain’s meteorological agency, AEMET, recorded the highest rainfall levels for January since 2001. The persistent downpours have raised concerns about the viability of farms in affected regions, with some crops reportedly submerged by flooding. In Morocco, storm conditions in December also caused logistical disruptions, further complicating the supply chain. Industry experts indicate that the full extent of the damage is not yet known, but Spanish farmers have already reported losses amounting to millions of euros. The combination of crop damage and transportation challenges has led to intermittent gaps on supermarket shelves in the UK. Despite these pressures, retail representatives have sought to reassure consumers. The British Retail Consortium stated that retailers are experienced in handling supply disruptions and are working to minimize the impact by sourcing produce from alternative regions where possible. Supermarkets have been contacted for additional comment. The situation highlights the vulnerability of international food supply chains to extreme weather events, particularly when a significant share of imports depends on specific geographic regions.

Thousands of employers commit to paying the REAL living wage Here’s some genuinely good news - although a BBC report about Aldi giving its workers two pay rises during the current calendar year has missed the point.

Which supermarkets pay the Real Living Wage — and which don’t? Here’s the league table. If Aldi can do it, what’s stopping the rest?
