Europe depends on food from Spain during the winter. With the climate turning hard very hard toward a potential new mini ice age, the freezing cold, wet weather in southern Spain has devastated supplies of vegetables for consumers across Europe. Stores have begun rationing.
The vegetables impacted are broccoli, artichokes, aubergines, iceberg lettuces, zucchini and eggplants.

The supply of these and other vegetables during the winter months are being wiped out. Social media is now using the hashtag #courgettecrisis for zucchini they call courgettes.
