Have you heard the term Inflation before? It simple means more money has been printed every year while adds more in the circulating supply as a result of this the purchasing power of your money is going down every year.

I dont think so. Inflation occurs when there is too much money in supply than the goods. The reason for the current increase in food prices is not the government's printing of money. In my country, there is no money printing policy, but food prices have increased by a few percent, although not double. This is because the availability of foodstuffs cannot fulfill the needs of the entire society so that it increases.

This is not just a simple inflation, there are factors involved such as cost of production, cost of transport and the organic farming. Many farmers are slowly converting to a more organic ways of farming where the usage of less toxic yet more efficient pesticides are used that means the prices will go up. Same for meat, slowly converting to organic cattle farms makes a better harvest but the cost of production is increased and the land used to prevent overcrowding of farm animals contributes to the increase of prices. Transport cost varies depending on distance from source to market, so far, it is the easiest problem that can be solved in regards to increase in the price of produce and meat.
