Alimentos, Causas, CrisisResumen
A principios del siglo XXI el sector de agroalimentario ingresó en un ciclo de alza de precios con frecuentes crisis alimentarias. Abordamos críticamente las explicaciones sobre las crisis de 2008 y 2021/22 con el fin de exponer la dinámica entre tendencias de mediano y corto plazo que subyace a ellas. Ponderamos los principales factores que concurren a la explicación y exponemos el vínculo entre la baja de productividad del trabajo agrícola, el aumento de los costos asociados a los hidrocarburos y de la demanda de biocombustibles como la combinación que da cuenta centralmente del proceso subyacente a ambos episodios. En este marco, observamos que determinados factores disruptivos del comercio mundial como la pandemia COVID-19 o el conflicto ruso-ucraniano, así como las complicaciones climáticas, pueden inducir abruptos aumentos de precios al interactuar con los mencionados causales de mediano plazo.
