The video examines how higher oil and energy prices feed into rising food costs, as global food prices reach their highest level in more than three years. It argues that oil and gas influence food prices well beyond fuel for transport, making the food system vulnerable to wider energy-market changes.

Using meat, processed staples, and fruit and vegetables as examples, the report traces oil and gas inputs through production and supply chains. Transport and fertiliser are important factors, but the video says fossil fuels are also embedded in other stages of farming, processing, packaging and distribution, adding to consumer prices.
