How do you see food inflation developing if farmers go on strike?

Many smaller farms could not afford to go on strike, so many have already been forced onto the breadline from driving down prices. The horizon looks bleaker than the recent weather, as farms will be forced to sell up, with the likely buyer being Blackrock. I’m thinking I’ll have to get some barbed wire around my allotment as prices will be set to rise making my leeks more valuable than the local farmer's Maserati.
