Food shortages are unavoidable now.

[Bill Ryan]

The latest from Christian Westbrook, the Ice Age Farmer — published 4 days ago (which feels like quite a long time right now).

Ukraine & Russia grains — 30% of world global exports — are no longer moving as three merchant ships have been hit by missiles in the Black Sea, including one chartered by Cargill to move grains. Brazil is frantic after fertilizer imports from Russia are threatened.
The global food trade is coming to a screeching halt and food prices are exploding even further as the conflict escalates.

Ukraine's wheat harvest (which needs to be planted soon; Russia and Ukraine combined produce 25% of the world's wheat) may well fail this year, for obvious reasons.

I can't see why, Russian farms will still be functioning & the Russian invasion of Ukraine is aimed at taking out the Nazis, (which maps of positions show to be true) so no reason the farms there need to be effected.

Plus if they grow "winter wheat" like we do in Europe it's already in the ground, and the conflict will most likely be over by harvest time.

Sure, but if major world groups have sanctions against Russia, then why would Russia supply them?

Russia's first concern is going to be feeding herself, and then her friends & then those who will pay, of which there are no doubt plenty of countries. Western countries have no problem either growing enough due to advanced agriculture, or can just buy it because they are "rich", like they do for things they don't grow or want out of season.

My main point was to counterbalance the fear factor, that said it's a good idea to stock what you can afford, and rotate the stock while it's available.

I also remember the last time, a few years ago, when the EU imposed sanctions on Russia. That bit the EU on the backside, a lot of fruit and veg that was destined for Russia just turned rotten and was useless as there was no market for it in the EU. Supermarket chains order their supplies a year or so in advance, so they already had their supplies covered and didn't need any more of the surplus. The farmers and exporters were as mad as hell as it hurt them a lot more than the sanctions hurt Russia.

Also, as you say, it is a huge country with a large agricultural base.

From Bill:
Thanks, and I've corrected the link in both posts. It's now a different URL, and for reasons unknown the video was reuploaded a few hours ago to replace the original.

Another update from Christian Westbrook, the Ice Age Farmer, published earlier today. It almost seems unnecessary to keep posting these videos, but it may be important for some to keep track of this problem — which I'm personally as sure as I can be is going to start getting a lot worse pretty quickly.

The show notes:

The food crisis is here. The EU's agricultural ministers held an emergency meeting, and are set to activate a "Food Crisis Contingency Mechanism" in anticipation of the shortages resulting from the blocked 40% of global wheat exports that are no longer flowing from Ukraine/Russia.

South Korea's animal feed producers are preparing to declare force majeure, unable to produce feed without the 300,000 metric tons they'd expected from Ukraine now stuck in the Black Sea. Nations are banning exports to cling to what food stocks they DO have. Things are escalating quickly in the food crisis. START GROWING FOOD NOW IF YOU CAN.

Today on Zero Hedge, more about fertilizer and wheat supplies, both of which are serious problems right now:

Russia Recommends Fertilizer Makers To Halt All Exports

This morning we listed some of the countries that are dangerously (and almost exclusively) reliant on Russia and Ukraine for their wheat imports, highlighting Turkey, Egypt, Tunisia and others...



... which are facing an "Arab Spring" style food crisis (and potential uprising) in the coming weeks unless the Ukraine conflict is resolved.

And unfortunately, we can now confidently predict that the coming food crisis will strike every country that is using food fertilizer - which is all - because moments ago, Russian Interfax reported that as part of Moscow's countersanctions, Russia has recommended fertilizer makers to halt exports, a move which will sent not only fertilizer prices orbitally higher, but all food prices will soon follow.

Worse still, natural gas is required in the manufacturing process for most nitrogen/fertilizer products and so the recent surge in European NatGas prices to record highs will only exacerbate the cost of fertilizer from any halt from Russia...



And with wheat prices already at all time highs...



... all hell is about to break loose not only among food producers, but soon, in your local grocery store once US consumers realize that food prices are about to double, triple and x-ple more.

Well, of course Russia would halt it's exports given so many sanctions being set onto them.

With all of the information gathered here at Avalon from sources around the globe, the manipulation of countries is evident.

It seems to me that the manipulators are highly dependent on the people to allow themselves to be continually controlled and manipulated.

IMHO, if people start (and quickly) and begin to be more self sufficient by supporting their local communities and create more small vegetable gardens it could really make a positive change.

Outside of many major cities there are areas where people can use farm land to grow food for themselves. Imagine e the impact that would have on people if every family participated in this as much as they were able to.

What a great way to spend time together with your family as you all learn how to do vegetable gardening.

Of course this isn't the answer to all of our problems, but I can imagine that this could really start a positive change for other things as well.

Humanity has to find a way to fight back against the tide of transhumanism and the NWO's agenda.

Small steps can really add up if you keep walking forward.

Even more. New from Zero Hedge:

Food Crisis Imminent: Hungary Bans All Grains Exports Effective Immediately

Those who have it, are no longer giving it away, and those that don't will soon find themselves in the middle of an epic food crisis.

Just hours after we reported that Russia effectively banned exports of fertilizers (see the Avalon post immediately above), moments ago Hungary - one of Europe's most grain rich nations - has circled the wagons and realizing which way the wind is blowing, just announced that it will ban all grain exports effective immediately, in a statement.

Expect wheat prices, already at record highs, to promptly double from here in the next few weeks as the world realizes the extent of the global food crisis that is coming.

Our suggestion: buy flour, rice, barley and any other grains you can now, rather than waiting one month to buy them because you have to.

‘Brace for Rationing’ – Food Crisis Escalates – EU Farmers Furious

The food crisis is escalating. More countries are halting exports, but even as the EU convenes a food crisis meeting, they refuse to relax restrictions on farmers. Similarly, the US is not waiving biofuel mandates even as grain prices explode. Christian explains that this crisis is needed to advance the agenda.

It’s clear that the Biden Regime is committed to sadistically collapsing the United States, with White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm all saying over the past week that the world war simmering in Ukraine will not derail the WEF’s genocidal Green New Deal.

They will continue to block US energy independence and not restart US energy production. Instead, buying oil from Iran is now “on the table.”
Complete Upside Down World.

Ice Age Farmer, Christian Westbrook is back with news about the inevitable front in this war: the engineered global food crisis.

He notes that Egypt is the largest buyer of wheat from the Black Sea region of Ukraine and Russia and they’ve been rushing to find alternative wheat suppliers and to stockpile as much wheat as possible as quickly as possible.

Recall that during the Arab Spring a decade ago, the price of bread was the initial trigger for the protests that led to the resignation of then-President Hosni Mubarak.

Christian says, “Egypt is desperately trying to bolster their food supply. Is the EU doing the same thing? Is the US trying to protect its citizens? No. Neither is.

“Yesterday, I mentioned that the EU on Wednesday convened a meeting of their agriculture ministers and is enacting a EU food crisis contingency plan, a crisis mechanism to monitor a food shortage.

“However yesterday, Thursday, the agriculture minister of Germany announced that despite calls to relax the restrictions on farmers – there’s the EU Common Agricultural policy. The cap under the Farm-to-Fork Program says that farmers can’t use all their land. They have to leave 4% of it or more fallow, in order to receive subsidies which make farming economically possible. The agriculture minister of Germany announced yesterday they would not be relaxing those restrictions.

“In other words, ‘We’re not even going to put our land to use. We’re not going to try and grow wheat, now that we’ve cut off the 40% of global exports from the Ukraine. Just forget it, we want this crisis,’ is what he is telegraphing and that’s why German farmers were furious.

“Here’s one video by a farmer named Christian. I’ll post a link to his YouTube channel below and you don’t have to understand his language to get the message here he is very clear in his words when he says, ‘Hunger is Murder’ by the agricultural minister. ‘What you’re doing is murder.’

“Some of his choice quotes: ‘In the midst of this catastrophe, this Green eco-fanaticism equates to putting ecological madness before human lives.’

“In other words, putting your land and not using it for growing crops, even as people are starving is murder, because that’s the whole thing. They’re saying it’s ‘Global Warming’ and, ‘We can’t grow as much food because of the carbon emissions and we’re not going to relax these restrictions,’ even though there’s a food crisis, even though, on Wednesday, they acknowledged it. But still yesterday, ‘No, we’re not gonna let you grow food.’

“It’s pure madness and that, right there tells you that they want this food crisis. They need it to push their agenda through. The same thing is the case in the US. The Biden administration inside sources have leaked that they are studying whether a biofuel waiver could ease food inflation.

“Quote: ‘US President Joe Biden’s administration is studying whether waiving biofuel blending mandates could help offset a surge in prices for key food ingredients like corn and soy oil following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine,’

“However, when Reuters contacted them, the administration said, quote: ‘There is no serious consideration of this by the White House right now,’ because ethanol is good for Global Warming and we’ve got to save the Earth. Never mind the people that don’t have food.

“They WANT this crisis and they will not take steps to feed their people; not in the EU, not in the US.

“In my video yesterday, I also asked the question, ‘What does it mean when you enact the EU’s food crisis contingency plan?’ because details are quite scarce and although I wrote them and asked for some details, somehow, I doubt that I’ll hear back and we’ll see but I did scour the web and found only one thing by Martin Armstrong, here that said in 2016, the Merkel administration had put into place a plan that allowed them to seize farms during a food crisis.

“Well, if you look around 2016 new German food policies, almost exclusively you will find headlines that talk about this new plan requiring Germans to have a 10-day food supply.

“Quote: ‘The population will be obliged to hold an individual supply of food for 10 days.’

“Sounds pretty reasonable, right? And that’s all you’ll find. Germany tells people to stockpile food but if you go dig up this plan called the ‘Civil Defense Concept’ and you pull up the plan, right here and you open it up and find the section about Emergency Food and you use Google Translate to figure out what the heck it says, you see that this is exactly the case.

“Quote: ‘When this basic food supply can no longer be achieved by the free market, then a supply of the population with essential food through sovereign management…’ In other words, ‘Through the government, we will take over the farms. We will take over the food and we will distribute it as we see fit.’

“So, this is why the EU said on Wednesday, ‘Yes, there’s a crisis,’ and on Thursday, ‘No, we’re not going to grow food to fix the crisis because this is the plan.’

“This was the plan in 2015, when they convened John Podesta’s Food Chain Reaction game [funded by George Soros] and said, ‘We need more global government. We need a global carbon tax because of these food shortages that are happening.'”

Christian has long been pointing out that we are sleepwalking into disaster and that, just as we went through the the pandemic script from Event 201 so too, now is the Food Chain Reaction game going live, destined to end in localized food shortages and the Carbon Tax and even a ban of meat.

EMERGENCY SURVIVAL GARDENS FOR YOUR FAMILY

He says, “Let’s move on to what do we do about it, right? We all see it. We all know what’s going on. We see that they’re not even trying to help us, so we have to help ourselves. If you are only now thinking about this problem…here’s what we now do:

“We need to stand up emergency survival gardens for our families and for our communities and the way you structure your thinking around that.

“Number one: calories. Try and produce enough calories to feed your family. If that means that you only grow potatoes, because that’s as much room as you have in your garden, just to try and move the needle, fine, that’s good. And I’ve done videos before about potato growing bags, where even just in a 4′ x 6′ little space, I had a three-story tower with grow bags full of potatoes and I yielded buckets of potatoes.

“Right, you can make a meaningful difference in a very small space that fits on top of an RV, right? There’s no excuse for you – or on an apartment balcony – do not tell me that you don’t have room to grow food everyone has to be doing this at this point so if that’s all you have room for, grow some potatoes.

“If you can get your calories met, then you can move on to the next step, nutrition. Then, you can mix in some beans and other things that will have good proteins to keep you well-fed and other vitamin producing things.

“You can add in some herbs for immune support like turmeric, garlic, oregano, ginger. It’s up to you how you structure this. Then, the third priority finally would be how those things taste.

“If you want to mix in some hot peppers or you know just other flavorful things to make your dishes interesting, then that’s fine. But you have to first take care of the needs: calories and nutrition before you have any fun.

“And of course, Step Zero is go obtain what you can now and put it away. Can it, store it, buy the grains, put them in buckets with oxygen absorbers, if you have them.

“Position yourself with a buffer to be able to weather this storm in front of us. We’ve we’ve known this was coming. We talked in 2019, about the UN discussing openly that we needed global food rationing to whip people into shape to accept the agendas and the Climate Change nonsense.

“And here it is, right from the Mainstream Media. It’s it’s almost surreal and it’s certainly unfortunate but let’s all get to growing food immediately. That’s that’s where we are now and please spread this message.

“If everyone were growing as much as they can, then we would literally remove from them their power over us they would no longer have leverage to control us we just walk away from these toxic practices of industrial agriculture. So help me get the message out, Folks.”

Here in Thailand not big changes in prices, where I live the electric company gave a large discount for those who asked, my landlord did and in return I was not paying my bill, it was until January, I got almost 6 months of free energy. Cooking gas still almost the same price, it is slightest high, gasoline I heard some folks talking it went up a bit (I am not driving anymore, I bought a mountain bike - best investment in years!!!), same for Diesel, Food price went up a little bit, but only the industrialized crap that I don't eat anyway. Pork meat went big time high, people were talking a lot about that, but chicken price and eggs went down in compensation, beef is not a thing here in this country, have many years without eating it, i almost forgot it exists.. Well that is how I am seeing things here, it didn't affected my life and friends yet..

I came across this data from the Thai News Bureau, it is regarding food prices:

~~~~~~
Ministry of Commerce Order to freeze the price of 18 categories of products. Prohibit it. Ready to take legal measures to take action. Concerned about the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, affecting exports and imports

Mr. Jurin Laksanawisit, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Commerce Addressing the tensions between Russia and Ukraine Ministry of Commerce closely monitored Accepting may affect the export-import that has to be slowed down a bit.

on the part of the government All ministries try to help each other. In order to have the least impact on the price of the product, it must depend on the facts. If costs are significantly higher, where is the equilibrium point to be considered? It is the administrative function of the government and the Ministry of Commerce. If there is a trade in excess of profits, legal action must be taken. The ministry continues to regulate the prices of domestic goods in 18 major categories, not allowing price increases.

18 product groups that are not allowed to raise prices include:

1. Instant noodles 2. Fresh food category 3. Canned food 4. Bag of rice 5. Seasoning sauce 6. Vegetable oil 7. Soft drink 8. Milk and dairy products 9. Electrical appliances 10. Washing products 11. Fertilizers 12. Pesticides 13. Animal feed 14. Iron 15. Cement 16. Paper 17. Medicines, medical supplies and medical services 18.Services through department stores, retail-wholesale

With gas and diesel hitting the 2€/L mark today in spain, the trucker COMPANIES have decided to put their activities on an indefinite halt starting next monday, unless tomorrow the president negotiates better conditions on an emergency meeting.

On a personal note I believe Negotiations probably won't go anywhere, if they happen at all.

I'd like to emphasise this is a sector halt, not a worker strike.

We already had purchase limits on some products and a rather low supply of another bunch. (Soy stuff, sunflower oil, and pasta in some places) If it goes on like this, which it probably will, there is gonna be hard shortages all around by the middle of next week.

Also to add this is all being blamed on war, and hyperinflation is nowhere to be seen.

I didn't have time to listen to him until now. Wow.

Combined with this article of news in one of the main spanish newspapers it just hits on the right spot.

I'll let you guys use the Google translate on it. The juice is in the article itself.

"Government will activate a "reserve of strategical goods" to secure the supply in Spain in front of the war in Ukraine"

Yes, the "reserve goods" will be private too in some cases. AkA Expropiation.

I won't copy and paste this thorough new Zero Hedge article, as most readers here will be all too aware that there are serious food supply problems on their way.

Here's the link, and anyone can easily read it if they want to browse through all the detail. (Re the headline, of course the entire planet will be affected, not just the US. But I think this is also obvious.)

interesting. So, the selfish guy in me would like to know what to invest in during a food and resource crisis, besides stockpiling food? What sectors would thrive during such a shortage?

In other words, as this problem reverberates thru the system, what anticipations could we make to bounce back in a good way?

Chris Martenson recommends: buy some gold and silver; start a vegie garden if you haven't already; and stockpile non-perishable food, all of which will be good for local trading as well as meeting your own needs. Catherine Austin-Fitts has a silver and gold calculator on her website Solari, to support community trading.
Buy land for obvious reasons, especially farmland, if you can afford it without going into debt, as good land is disappearing fast. There's a reason why Bill Gates is I think the biggest land-owner in the US now, and that pattern is being seen here in Australia too with mining tycoons buying up the farms and big outback stations etc.
I no longer invest in corporations/the share market- just too corrupt. I'm supporting my local farmers and other small businesses- if they go down we are all going to be much more powerless and unhealthy.

These dudes in power are a bunch of faggots, parasites..

Today went to the fresh market and for my surprise the prices were almost 10% higher than my last visit, eggs were more expensive, meats, and veggies.. two of my favorite sellers were not there, even the coconut guy were not there (he sells an amazing coconut milk and pressed oil), today is Friday they should be all there, but many places were empty. I will investigate further and check another fresh market to see if I can visualize patterns on this thing. For now I confirm prices are higher, but the goods still there.
The problem with fresh markets here, all the goods come from a hub, a large market in key areas of the country, farmers around these areas, sells their produces in there for very little money (huge scam in my opinion), then these hubs distributes to supermarkets, fresh markets and so on..
To buy direct from the producer you have to know where they are obviously and some of them won't sell, because their interest is in bulk sales only.

We have to grow our food and get together with people doing it, I don't see another option. Community lifestyle, the globalism won't work for most people.

Another video From the Ice Age Farmer, Christian Westbrook, that many may not need to watch because much of this is not new news. (I follow him closely, because he's so well-informed, knows exactly what's happening, and is a pleasure to listen to.)

Here he shows — correctly, in my strong opinion — that the governments of major nations are deliberately fostering the coming global food shortage (famine makes people much easier to control!), while at the same time he celebrates the upsurge of regular folks, now very alert to the problem, doing their own thing and successfully growing their own food.

Also why not consider a bale of kale in freezer, lasting through April, as a good nutritious staple. If the food shortages keeps getting worse...

For the temperate and cold, wet climates kale is a handy staple to grow. It has kept people well over the centuries. The frozen leafs will dehydrate and are then easy to granulate or blender-ize, for a creative staple, cooked or raw, and always easy for the lazy eater.

It is one of my best, all in one, daily nutrients even through winter, by freezing up a whole bale of red kale. One of the easiest vegetables to grow with least need of attention, besides wood chucks and deer, and yields plentiful amounts through the growing season.

If the common aphid outbreak happens, it is an easy job of pulling affected leaves off or just smearing them between thumb and fingers, (and keep their supportive ant colonies at a distance by watering them or removing their rock outposts).
