It's precisely the costs of moving those food supply chains that is at hand here. Our entire system of private landownership and water rights assigns value to a plot and enables investment. To minimize or dismiss these as irrelevant undermines the foundations those industries are built upon.

If anything, the last few years have shed light on is just how fragile global supply chains are. The war in Ukraine has impacted wheat prices globally.
