Well that's another issue, it can happen. Overall, there are many in the food/agri industry who believe that the global food supply is fragile. Growing populations as well as due to the fact that Agriculture isn't what was it once was and no-one wants to go into farming will no doubt contribute.

I'm sure we're likely to see supply shocks in the next couple decades especially if war accelerates in key regions.... but absent of that, if governments continue their QE and expansionary strategies we probably will still see some kind of inflation in the future.

However, at the moment the western world in particular is leaning toward deflation....
