"speculation on food prices is a scandal which seriously compromises access to food"

That is patently false.

Stick with G-d, and leave economics to business people. We'll deliver the food because we're self interested in doing so. Alternate economics for delivering food have been much less successful. See China, 1950s, North Korea, recently, etc.

And how do we know that he gets God right?

See Venezuela!

“Hundreds of National Guardsmen in riot gear and armoured vehicles prevented an “empty pots march” from reaching Venezuela’s food ministry on Saturday to protest against chronic food shortages.”

It’s often not even availability of food. It’s corruption of the governments who control the food supply to control the people.

The church ought to work on dealing with the moral issues that breed corruption and the rest of the problems would largely solve themselves.
