What happened
United Nations experts predict an exceptionally strong cycle of the El Nino climate phenomenon, which is causing global changes in winds and rainfall and erratic weather conditions. This climate event is forcing top chefs worldwide to rethink menus due to unpredictable ingredient availability, quality, and prices. Brazilian chef Alex Atala reported that he has been adjusting his menu almost weekly because certain products are unavailable.

Why it matters
The strong El Nino cycle is disrupting global food systems by causing droughts, floods, and heatwaves. These extreme weather events can massively disrupt transportation, such as through flooded roads or wildfires, delaying fresh products. This scarcity and disruption affect the ability of restaurants to maintain consistent supply chains.
