Ukraine war has stoked global food crisis that could last years, says UN

Shortages of grain and fertiliser could cause ‘mass hunger and famine, says chief, as World Bank pledges $12bn to ease shortfall

They are really putting this out that there is going to be a food shortage/famine coming.
I personally think that it could happen.
One of yhe best ways to control the masses is through their belly.

All of it is caused by world leadership thirst for power. Especially here in the United States. We should not be having any oil/fuel problems or food crisis.

I wonder if politicians, properly prepared, could make decent eating.

Definitely leave out the old recipe of tar and feathers.

Maybe if you boiled the bull**** out of them first.

Plenty of meat on the land. Garden in the ground and had three nice rains on it

If everyone starts having problems with meat because of shortage or price to high there will be a lot of poaching and about the only critters left to eat would be raccoon, opossum, and coyote. I believe deer, and turkey will be gone within a few months.

Gonna get interesting.

And your point is? Ever eaten Crow Pizza before

Point is you cannot depend on wildlife being available and make plans with that in mind.

Not a smart move for big media to be shooting off their mouths about this, the fear of food shortages was a root cause of the French revolution.

We'll see what dc leadership has to say, maybe they will come up with a plan while they eat at Morton's on the law/lobby dime.

I've thought about this, but figure I would only see locals in the woods hunting off season. I think most people will do what the government tells them and go to whatever the local equivalent of the Superdome is like the Katrina disaster.

NO!!! I was told on INGO that there was NO food shortage or crisis. Posting this will only get INGO the unwanted attention of the Ministry Of Truth…

No way you could prepare it that it wouldn't leave a bad taste in your mouth!

Thought this link would fit here for those who missed it. The discussion of what a family can do above is only supplemental, it takes a lot to be mostly self sufficient.

How Much Land Do You Need To Feed Your Family SHTF?

This was an interesting article I came across recently and wanted to share. I talk to folks that raise a garden and they think it will sustain them in bad times. It takes way more than most of us think it does. I get a chuckle out of the naiveté exhibited saying I'm going to hunt deer and my...

Biden seeks to boost US production to deal with food shortage

President Biden on Wednesday announced new actions to boost production on U.S. farms to help combat global food insecurity during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. “Folks, we can make sure that America…

Farmers around here are talking about fertilizer and diesel fuel prices. That is going to be major factors in food production. No grain, and livestock will start dying off which means no meat.

Edit:
Sounds like Biden wants to feed the world and let Americans starve.

A friend shared this the other day:

The banks collapsed in 2008 – and our food system is about to do the same | Food security | The Guardian

Massive food producers hold too much power – and the regulators scarcely understand what is happening. Sound familiar, asks Guardian columnist George Monbiot

amp.theguardian.com

"The food industry is becoming tightly coupled to the financial sector, increasing what scientists call the “network density” of the system, making it more susceptible to cascading failure. Around the world, trade barriers have come down and roads and ports upgraded, streamlining the global network. You might imagine that this smooth system would enhance food security. But it has allowed companies to shed the costs of warehousing and inventories, switching from stocks to flows. Mostly, this just-in-time strategy works. But if deliveries are interrupted or there’s a rapid surge in demand, shelves can suddenly empty."

I live in a rural community and small towns around.
That means anyone with a gun and a means to hunt will be in the woods regardless of no trespassing signs.

Although trading raccoon meat for needs sounds like a good deal.

Then they can just start growing it in a lab or printing some off .......which seems to be their plan .
How convenient for them .........

I am doing my best to let family and friends know to stock up on canned and dry goods just in case.
Don't forget a grain grinder for old hard beans. You can make refried beans, or soups with it. Even bean bread.

We have been trying also ....but pretty much given up . If they aren`t paying attention by now , not much else we can say or do for them .
