India's Onion, Potato Prices Soar After Heatwave

India's Onion, Potato Prices Soar After Heatwave

Imagine the price of your favorite veggies going way up!

That's what happened with onions and potatoes in India.

Because it got super hot, like the hottest it's ever been, the crops didn't grow as well.

The heatwave in May caused the price to go up.

The study suggests it was partially from climate change.

The jump meant that healthy food might become difficult to afford for some.

When food costs more, people might have to eat less nutritious food, which can make them sick.
