□ Concept of climateflation and its impact on agroindustry

○ Unusual weather phenomena can lead to abnormal climate events, causing volatility in the demand and supply of agricultural products.

­ Anomalous climate events that affect agricultural production activities can result in unstable production patterns and subsequently higher consumer prices. 

­ The average maximum temperature increased to 34.0℃ from 31.1℃ between the summer of 2023 and that of 2024, and the fresh food price index rose by 3.5% during the same period.

□ Changes in food security and consumption patterns triggered by climate change 

○ Climate change-driven anxiety about food security, in turn, increases demand for sustainable and eco-friendly foods. 

­ Alternative foods and green food technologies are likely to serve as a viable means to respond to climate change. 

­ The ongoing efforts are geared toward improving how foods are produced and processed, creating an efficient manufacturing base, and operating eco-friendly systems, thus reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

□ Research and development of low-carbon foods facilitated by changes in food consumption patterns

○ Alternative protein sources are classified into plants, insects, algae, microorganisms, and cultivated meat. 

­ The alternative food industry aims to research and develop foods that provide protein through sources other than existing animal sources. 

­ Cutting-edge technologies, such as AI, ICT, and IoT, are leveraged to develop foods that mimic the consumption characteristics of animal-based foods. 

□ Jeonbuk’s agricultural product development strategies to effectively navigate climateflation

○ To cope with climateflation, Jeonbuk State must craft valid strategies to discover potential crop candidates, select regions, and develop new varieties.

­ Additionally, it is vital to secure a stable supply of raw materials for agricultural products by researching and developing crops suitable for cultivation and promoting contract farming.

­ Moreover, fostering public–private cooperation is required to modernize stockpile facilities and ultimately achieve sustainable agriculture.
