20 Facts About The Emerging Global Food Shortage That Should Chill You To The Core
A very alarming global food shortage has already begun, and
it is only going to get worse in the months ahead. I realize that this is
not good news, but I would encourage you to share the information in this
article with everyone that you can. People deserve to understand what is
happening, and they deserve an opportunity to get prepared. The pace at
which things are changing around the globe right now is absolutely
breathtaking, but most people assume that life will just continue to carry on
as it normally does. Unfortunately, the truth is that a very real
planetary emergency is developing right in front of our eyes. The
following are 20 facts about the emerging global food shortage that should
chill you to the core…
#1 One of France’s most important government officials is telling
us that we should brace ourselves for an “extremely
serious” global
food crisis…
France’s Foreign Affairs Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said the EU
must get to grips with the prospect that the war in Ukraine could prompt an
“extremely serious” global food crisis.
#2 Joe Biden recently admitted that food shortages are “going
to be real”, and his administration is now openly using the word “famine” to describe what is
coming…
The Biden administration is worried Russia’s invasion of Ukraine
will cause famine in parts of the world, White House Council of Economic
Advisers Chair Cecilia Rouse told CNBC on Friday.
#3 It is being reported that food prices at German supermarkets
will soon go up between
20 and 50 percent…
Just days after Germany reported the highest inflation in
generation (with February headline CPI soaring at a 7.6% annual pace and
blowing away all expectations), giving locals a distinctly unpleasant deja vu
feeling even before the Russian invasion of Ukraine broke what few supply
chains remained and sent prices even higher into the stratosphere…
… on Monday, Germany will take one step toward a return of the
dreaded Weimar hyperinflation, when according to the German Retail Association
(HDE), consumers should prepare for another wave of price hikes for everyday
goods and groceries with Reuters reporting that prices at German retail chains
will explode between 20 and 50%
#4 Rationing has already begun in Spain…
In Spain, the country started experiencing sporadic shortages of
different products like eggs, milk and other dairy products almost immediately
following the outbreak of the war in Ukraine. In early March, major
supermarkets like Mercadona and Makro began rationing sunflower oil.
#5 Rationing has also already started in Greece…
In Greece, at least four national supermarket chains have started
rationing food products like flour and sunflower oil due to critically low
supplies caused by the crippled supply chains coming out of Russia and Ukraine.
#6 The head of BlackRock is warning that this will be the very
first time this generation “is going
to go into a store and not be able to get what they want”…
On Tuesday, BlackRock Inc. President Rob Kapito told an audience
in Austin, Texas, hosted by the Texas Independent Producers and Royalty Owners
Association, that an entire younger generation is quickly finding out what
it means to suffer from shortages, according to Bloomberg.
“For the first time, this generation is going to go into a store
and not be able to get what they want,” Kapito said. “And we have a
very entitled generation that has never had to sacrifice.”
#7 Since this time last year, some fertilizer prices have gone
up by as much as 300
percent.
#8 Many farmers in Africa will not be able to afford fertilizer
at all this year, and it is being projected that this will reduce agricultural
production by an amount capable of feeding “100 million people”…
With prices tripling over the past 18 months, many farmers are
considering whether to forgo purchases of fertilizers this year. That leaves a
market long touted for its growth potential set to shrink by almost a third,
according to Sebastian Nduva, program manager at researcher group
AfricaFertilizer.Org.
That could potentially curb cereals output by 30 million tons,
enough to feed 100 million people, he said.
#9 Russia is normally one of the biggest global
exporters of fertilizer…
Russia is a key global player in natural gas, a major input to
fertilizer production. Higher gas prices, and supply cuts, will further drive
fertilizer prices higher. Russia is one of the biggest exporters of the three
major groups of fertilizers (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium). Physical
supply cuts could further inflate fertilizer prices.
#10 In a typical year, Russia and Ukraine collectively account
for approximately 30 percent of all global wheat exports.
#11 Half of Africa’s wheat imports usually come from either
Russia or Ukraine.
#12 Other nations rely on wheat exports from Russia and
Ukraine even more than Africa does…
Armenia, Mongolia, Kazakhstan and Eritrea have imported virtually
all of their wheat from Russia and Ukraine and must find new sources. But they
are competing against much larger buyers, including Turkey, Egypt, Bangladesh
and Iran, which have obtained more than 60 percent of their wheat from the two
warring countries.
#13 One Russian official is warning that his nation may soon
only export food to
“friendly nations”…
A Russian government official has threatened that Russia will
limit its vital food exports to only nations it considers “friendly”.
Dmitry Medvedev, a senior Russian security official who previously
served as the nation’s president, has threatened that Russia may soon cut off the
West from food exports.
#14 On Friday, it was announced that another 5
million egg-laying chickens in Iowa would have to be put down because of the bird flu.
#15 The death toll from the bird flu in Iowa alone will be
pushed beyond 13
million as
a result of this latest incident.
#16 Overall, this is what the total national death toll from the
bird flu currently
looks like:
“22 million egg-laying chickens, 1.8 million broiler chickens, 1.9 million
pullet and other commercial chickens, and 1.9 million turkeys”.
#17 China’s agricultural minister has announced that the winter
wheat harvest in China could be “the
worst in history”.
#18 We are being warned that the winter wheat harvest in the
United States will be “disastrous” due to severe
drought.
#19 During a recent interview, one prominent U.S. farmer stated
that most Americans won’t like it when “your
grocery bill is up $1,000.00 a month”.
#20 The head of the UN World Food program says that what the
planet is now facing is unlike anything that we have seen since World War II…
“Ukraine has only compounded a catastrophe on top of a
catastrophe,” said David M. Beasley, the executive director of the World Food
Program, the United Nations agency that feeds 125 million people a day. “There
is no precedent even close to this since World War II.”
We have been warned over and over again that this day was coming, and now it is here.
Like I said at the beginning of this article, I hope that you will
share this information with as many people as possible, because this crisis
really is going to affect every man, woman and child on the entire planet.
In my entire lifetime, I have never seen anything like this, and
conditions are getting worse with each passing day.
A truly nightmarish global food crisis really is upon us, and
hundreds of millions of innocent people are going to deeply suffer as a result.

Apocalypse” is now available in paperback and for the Kindle on Amazon.***

Why You Should
Plant a Victory Garden
Victory Gardens aren’t just an essential piece of American
history. They’re still important to everyday life in the modern world. If you
don’t have a garden, or even if you do, you should consider a victory garden to
get you started! Here’s why you should plant a victory garden.
This article will talk about why and when victory gardens got
their start. We’ll also talk about why these special gardens are important
today, what you should plant in them, and give you some tips to help you be
successful. But first, let’s look at what a victory garden is.
A victory garden is also known as a war garden or a food garden
for defense. These were gardens planted primarily during World War I and World
War II to supplement food rations and boost community morale...

How to Make the Perfect Compost Pile
It seemed like a strange thing to do. I watched my Grandma carry
a coffee can full of scraps from the kitchen and pour them out underneath her
maple tree. It was just a small container of coffee grounds, tea bags, and
vegetable ends that nobody wanted to eat.
I couldn't understand what she was doing. We had a garbage
disposal to take care of those things. But as it turns out, Grandma had the
right idea all along, because she knew the value of compost. So Grandma taught
me how to make the perfect compost pile.
This article will help you understand how you can make the
perfect compost pile. We'll talk about all of the ingredients that should and
shouldn't go in a compost bin, where to put it, how big it should be, and what
kind of containers you can use. We'll also talk about composting if you live in
an apartment. But first, let's take a quick look at what composting really
is...

Farm-ageddon: The world’s food supply is under threat as a storm of rare conditions brews
A new crisis is building... From fertilizing manure to tractor-fueling diesel, the inputs that power the world’s agriculture industry are in short supply. Why it matters: these shortages make it hard for farmers to feed the world and have caused global food prices to surge at their fastest pace ever: a record 13% jump last month.
