Food inflation will change into a “normal state of affairs” for Brits resulting from the worsening climate shocks, experts have warned.

Rishi Sunak is under pressure to act over the sky-high grocery costs facing families when he hauls in supermarkets and farming chiefs to a No10 summit on Tuesday.

Food and drinks price inflation hit an eye-watering 19.2% within the yr to March, almost twice the general rate of 10.1%.

Speaking ahead of the summit, Food Foundation boss Anna Taylor warned that prime prices are here to remain without Government motion – and branded it “extraordinary” that ministers have ditched plans for a horticulture strategy.

She said: “Going forward, climate shocks are going to be worsening as we move into the long run shows so we needs to be expecting food price inflation to be a standard state of affairs.
