Claim: Adam van Koeverden says farmers know that climate change is to blame for food price inflation
100%This claim is accurate.
Reasoning:
- Adam van Koeverden, a Liberal MP representing Burlington North—Milton West, explicitly stated in the House of Commons on January 27, 2026: "Farmers know this. Farmers in my riding recognize that climate change is the leading impact on food cost inflation right now"1
- He also said: "Farmers know that the leading cause of crop yields being more challenging and less reliable, and food costs going up, is climate change"1
- In a later statement on February 26, 2026, he reiterated: "All the research indicates that 85% of food inflation is due to imported factors like war, tariffs and extreme weather due to climate change"2
Overall validity: 100%
