A looming question haunts nations worldwide: Is a global food crisis becoming the new normal? Alarming trends in agriculture, climate change, and supply chain disruptions have led experts to raise concerns.

Climate instability is wreaking havoc on crop yields. Extreme weather events, from droughts to floods, are disrupting planting and harvesting seasons. These adverse conditions are hitting vulnerable regions hardest, leading to food scarcity and price hikes.

Supply chains, essential for distributing food globally, have been severely disrupted by the ongoing pandemic. Transportation bottlenecks, labour shortages, and trade restrictions have all contributed to the strain on food distribution systems.

Additionally, the world’s growing population is placing increasing demands on food production. Meeting these demands sustainably is a growing challenge.

This crisis highlights the need for proactive solutions. Investment in resilient agricultural practices, innovative technologies, and climate adaptation is crucial. Collaborative efforts on a global scale are necessary to ensure food security for all. #featured

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
