    I often wondered why are there no fruit and nut trees in any city? Why are the brick walls in every street not used for growing strawberrys tomatos beans and so on? Why are there only poisonous plants grown around schools?, the most delicious berrys could grow everywhere.

    If you only knew how easy it is to turn 1 current in thousands of current shrubs/ bushes: in mid winter you cut the branches that grew last year, they have a different colour then the rest of the branch, so its easy to see. Put these branches in the ground asap (if the ground is frozen, youll have to wait of course). 99 from 100 branches grow into new berrybushes in no time.
    The amount of apples that can grow on 1 tree...hundreds of kilos. If you take out 1 brick in a sunny sidewalk in the middle of London or NYC, you can grow 5 kilo food or more on that spot. In a fully grown foodforest you can harvest 20 kilo food per square metre! So a square garden from 7 metres will give you 1000 kilo fresh food annually. So thats all you need 7 by 7 metres for food and some extra for dancing...
    If you calculate how many ppl could live on our planet if we would have turned the whole planet in a foodforest...youd be flabbergasted.

    Its a topic on its own. But if you realise you can live rich from 100m2. And only 20 percent of our planet is suited for foodforest..
    It would still mean that 10 billion ppl could have 100.000 childeren instantly each!

    Here in the UK, just in the past couple of weeks I've seen a sudden and obvious shortage of certain fruit and veg. I was in a Tesco the other day and there was literally about half the selection of veg that's usually there. It was a similar but not quite as obvious situation in two different Co-operative shops.

    Manufactured or not, something seems to be going on here....

    I start work at 8pm, there's not much left in fresh (fruit and veg) when I go in. I wonder if deliveries have been altered nationwide? Our night crew always started at 10pm on fresh as it was already delivered, but now it comes in at 3am and it is a stretch for them to get it on the shelves - and they work at a phenomenal rate.

    One other factor is that a lot of supermarket chains saw their profits fall in the last financial year due to the millions they had to spend on all the screens, extra staff controlling numbers entering the store, PPE for staff etc. and I've heard of recent redundancies - could it be a lack of staffing? Also, many customers who would previously have shopped in a store have switched to having groceries delivered and those are picked early in the morning, so maybe that's stripping the shelves.

    Our night manager is a great guy and is very knowledgeable about the wider picture; if he's in tonight I'll make discreet enquiries.

    I know some farmers round here, I'll see if I can get some news off them.
    An update - I've just had a chat with the farmer's wife who lives a few doors down, she is very involved with the work on the farm.

    She said that she's heard nothing about farm-grown food being in short supply in Britain, and that transport could be the issue. She's always very forthcoming so if there were rumours about food going to landfill, I'm sure she would have mentioned it. The crops round here are doing very well with the recent warm weather and rain.

    Here's some insider info on the transport issue. I had a chat with a neighbour who is a commercial vehicles driving instructor and knows a heck of a lot about the haulage industry.

    He said that there are two strands to the problem. Firstly, the working conditions are terrible and not as well paid as it used to be. An influx of European drivers brought wages down and even though some of them have allegedly gone, the wages aren't rising. Many drivers are over 50 years of age, they often spend a whole week on the road and many truck stops, where they could get a reasonably priced bed for the night, have closed. So, they are having to sleep in the cab. As a result of the worsened conditions many of the older drivers are suffering from ill health and are either off sick or have left the industry.

    Secondly, under the pre-Brexit free movement of EU nationals, a lot of Europeans came to Britain and set up limited company haulage firms. He said that it was widely known that they paid low wages and cut a lot of corners which angered a lot of the long-standing haulage firms. They paid little tax and once lockdown started, they claimed a load of furlough money from the government seeing that most of the retail haulage business was shut down, pocketed the money and then shut up shop and departed to their home countries. The result of the closure of their businesses is a shortage of drivers, but this is not quite the 'workers going home to their countries' story that we read about in the MSM.

    Whether this is engineered, low wages, driver shortages, logistical issues due to politics, weather induced or back logs of goods from overseas being held in 'Covid quarantine' (I suspect all of these possibilities contribute to the present situations), I wonder if something is afoot.

    It may be nothing, and I hope I'm just jumping the gun here but in the city where I live in Ontario, I've noticed gaps and empty shelves in some stores - not just grocery stores but also in well known chain clothing stores etc and I live in a substantial sized region with a large distribution industry!

    Today, all I wanted was a decent pair of jeans and some decent black t-shirts - nothing out of the ordinary. I went from store-to-store in the Mall and I saw large gaps in the range of products. Some stores had less shelving, racks and displays than usual and there were rows of crap spread out to fill the gaps. Very limited range of stuff. No decent jeans and limited plain t-shirts. This surprised me. One department store hasn't had much in the way of deliveries for a couple of weeks. Perhaps this is nothing more than running a tighter inventory in light of lockdown and lack of sales, who knows?

    Yesterday, I noticed at the big grocery store near us substantial gaps on the shelves - some aisles had empty shelving whilst others were filled with identical rows of biscuits, confectionary etc to fill out the space which would normally stock beans, rice, grains, pasta, canned stuff etc. There didn't appear to be anyone 'panic buying' either and there was a ton of toilet roll!

    I'm sure its nothing, but I've not seen it like this before where I live. Perhaps it's a glitch in logistics and I'm truly grateful for the lovely farmer's market around the corner from me!

    I did hear from one of the supervisors at work on Wed evening that "people are starting to panic buy again". Luckily I've been maintaining a well-stocked store cupboard since last autumn when supplies were normal.

    I did manage to nab 3 bags of organic carrots before they were processed as waste (fresh waste gets processed into animal feed apparently, so it's not binned), reduced to 9p a bag - a saving of £3.48 - all now blanched and in the freezer!

    For anyone wanting bargains, they start reducing from 6pm onwards. It is luck of the draw though for what you might get.

    True, Earthgirl, but I see this as one aspect of a general worsening of economic conditions in Britain since the 1980s, and now it's really ramping up. Back then, anyone in manual work who could save up a deposit could buy a house, and more women who wished to give up work when having children could do so. I've heard so many women with young children say that they would love give up work in order to be with their young ones but they can't afford it.

    It's been a drip, drip, drip process over the decades.

    I live in Texas and the last time I went to the store I noticed the same thing. I seem to have a time finding sugar. I noticed on the paper goods isle, zip lock type bags. There were very few packages spread out in a single layer on the shelf. Same with cooking oil. It seems to be random things but I suspect this will happen more and more.

    It reminds me of when I lived in Trinidad. They would do the same thing, spread the products out to make the store look full when in reality there is just a shortage of food there. When I would fly there my friends would always beg me to bring them things....toilet paper, canned goods, other things that you just can't get.

    Today, all I wanted was a decent pair of jeans and some decent black t-shirts - nothing out of the ordinary. I went from store-to-store in the Mall and I saw large gaps in the range of products. Some stores had less shelving, racks and displays than usual and there were rows of crap spread out to fill the gaps. Very limited range of stuff. No decent jeans and limited plain t-shirts. This surprised me. One department store hasn't had much in the way of deliveries for a couple of weeks. Perhaps this is nothing more than running a tighter inventory in light of lockdown and lack of sales, who knows?

    Yesterday, I noticed at the big grocery store near us substantial gaps on the shelves - some aisles had empty shelving whilst others were filled with identical rows of biscuits, confectionary etc to fill out the space which would normally stock beans, rice, grains, pasta, canned stuff etc. There didn't appear to be anyone 'panic buying' either and there was a ton of toilet roll!

    I'm sure its nothing, but I've not seen it like this before where I live. Perhaps it's a glitch in logistics and I'm truly grateful for the lovely farmer's market around the corner from me!
    I live in Texas and the last time I went to the store I noticed the same thing. I seem to have a time finding sugar. I noticed on the paper goods isle, zip lock type bags. There were very few packages spread out in a single layer on the shelf. Same with cooking oil. It seems to be random things but I suspect this will happen more and more.

    It reminds me of when I lived in Trinidad. They would do the same thing, spread the products out to make the store look full when in reality there is just a shortage of food there. When I would fly there my friends would always beg me to bring them things....toilet paper, canned goods, other things that you just can't get.
    My brother is a shrewd businessman. He makes the impression of shortage so that people will hoard, other times even pay more. when in reality his store house is full of merchandise. Hard to tell whats going on?

    Quote Posted by Samson (here)
    I often wondered why are there no fruit and nut trees in any city? Why are the brick walls in every street not used for growing strawberrys tomatos beans and so on? Why are there only poisonous plants grown around schools?, the most delicious berrys could grow everywhere.

    If you only knew how easy it is to turn 1 current in thousands of current shrubs/ bushes: in mid winter you cut the branches that grew last year, they have a different colour then the rest of the branch, so its easy to see. Put these branches in the ground asap (if the ground is frozen, youll have to wait of course). 99 from 100 branches grow into new berrybushes in no time.
    The amount of apples that can grow on 1 tree...hundreds of kilos. If you take out 1 brick in a sunny sidewalk in the middle of London or NYC, you can grow 5 kilo food or more on that spot. In a fully grown foodforest you can harvest 20 kilo food per square metre! So a square garden from 7 metres will give you 1000 kilo fresh food annually. So thats all you need 7 by 7 metres for food and some extra for dancing...
    If you calculate how many ppl could live on our planet if we would have turned the whole planet in a foodforest...youd be flabbergasted.
    Wonderful post. Abundance is possible everywhere. The possibilities are endless. The programming doesn't allow most of us to see these possibilities. Could your vision be the outcome of a food shortage? It certainly is a possibility. I like the way you think, Samson.

    I don't know if this is quite the right thread for this comment, but I think it will do ...

    I know we all feel concerned about food shortages and prepping/planning.

    Well, for a few years now I've been concerned about books, particular kinds of books disappearing from the stores or one day being deviously deleted by Amazon and more importantly, if there is some kind of shut down/blackout. I worry about wisdom being lost.

    I know that here at Avalon, there is an amazing library.

    But for a few years now I've been building up a physical library of what I feel may become 'lost' books. Don't laugh, I've become quite addicted to it lol!

    Anyway, I started to notice certain kinds of books/subjects going out of circulation in the secondhand stores, and many books/texts not making it on Amazon or Kindle. For example, there's not a lot circulating in the stores at the moment to do with Taoism. There's a lot of PDF uploads on Scribd, but this is only as good if the internet is running or there isn't a power outage.
    Conversations I've had with shop staff confirm that they see fewer and fewer of books of certain subjects these days.

    I became obsessed about 'rescuing' what I feel are important books - any ancient wisdom stuff to do with healing and food, energy, Eastern philosophy, religion etc. Anything I feel we may need if things go wrong. Who knows, reading and discussing these books may become an invaluable source of 'entertainment' or help when there's not a lot else to do!

    Is anyone else doing this?

    I wanted to make sure I had some of the Nag Hammadi library physically with me, which I have in "The Super Gospel - A Harmony of Ancient Gospels" by Robert C. Ferrell. I only mention it because I remember the Nag Hammadi books were found hugged by a skeleton. I always wondered what that person felt, what their story was leading up to them protecting those books more than their life

    Apparently Britain's food supply, as well as other key industries, is being plagued by a 'pingdemic'.

    For anyone daft enough to sign up for it, you leave a trace on your smart phone of where you've been, and when people who test positive and use Track and Trace, they 'ping' anyone via text who has also left a trace on their phone that says that they have been in proximity to that person and tells them to self-isolate and/or get tested.

    I went into work yesterday evening, I work at a mid-sized supermarket, and it was mayhem. Seven shop floor staff had been pinged and the day staff looked as if you could scrape them off the floor.

    Conspiracy theory here - seeing as they know so much about people through their phones, are key workers being targeted with the 'ping'?

    From the Telegraph - it also states that a shortage of truck drivers is in part due to cancelled driving tests:

    Quote Pingdemic means supermarket supply chains ‘starting to fail’

    Supermarket supply chains are "starting to fail" because the "pingdemic" is sending thousands of workers into self-isolation, food industry leaders warned on Wednesday night.

    Shop shelves in some areas were empty of basic supplies, while petrol stations ran out of fuel as the NHS Test and Trace app threatened to bring parts of the economy to a standstill.

    MPs and industry leaders urged the Government to ease the growing crisis by including supermarket staff, lorry drivers and other frontline workers on a list of those exempted from automatic self-isolation when 'pinged' by the app as a contact of someone with Covid.

    The Government has yet to publish guidance on which industries would benefit from any exemption scheme. A list was expected on Wednesday but no announcement came.

    In the Commons, Boris Johnson apologised to affected businesses for the "inconvenience" but urged them to stick by the rules and support workers to stay at home.

    It came as the "pingdemic" wreaks growing havoc, with more than half a million people pinged by the app in a single week. 
    The police and crime commissioner for Cleveland warned the public to expect longer response times to calls, while Royal Mail announced delays to deliveries in 10 parts of England after an increase in absences caused by self-isolating staff.

    Supermarket leaders said an existing national shortage of lorry drivers had been brought to near-crisis point by the numbers sent into self-isolation by the app.

    Shelves were empty of supplies including bread, meat, fruit and vegetables in parts of Bristol, Cambridge and Southampton.

    Tesco said it had run out of bottled water in its warehouses as the country swelters in a heatwave, while the Co-op said supplies in "a large majority" of its stores had been disrupted "due to the impact of Covid/isolation of colleagues".

    A spokesman said: "This is a short-term but significant impact and has impacted our ability to supply stores. These issues are impacting a large majority of Co-op stores."

    Nick Allen, the chief executive of the Meat Processors Association, warned that the supply chain was at risk of collapse, saying some of his members had lost up to 10 per cent of their workforce to self-isolation.

    "There's an air of despondency creeping through the industry really," Mr Allen told the BBC. "Until now we've managed to 
    keep the food supply chain running, but there's a sense of we're starting to fail on that front."

    Asked whether production lines were stalling, he said: "They are. It's happening already. We're starting to see that at retail 
    level and in restaurants – everyone is struggling to get things out."

    MPs and industry leaders called on the Government to include supermarket workers and lorry drivers in an exemption scheme allowing "critical" workers who are pinged to return to work after a PCR test and do daily lateral flow tests rather than self-isolating for 10 days.

    Andrew Opie, the director of food and sustainability at industry lobby group the British Retail Consortium, said the Government needed to act swiftly to tackle the problem.

    "Retail workers and suppliers, who have played a vital role throughout this pandemic, should be allowed to work provided they are double vaccinated or can show a negative Covid test to ensure there is no disruption to the public's ability to get food and other goods," he said.

    Lorry drivers were already in short supply before the "pingdemic", with the Road Haulage Association estimating a shortfall of about 60,000, caused in part by cancelled driving tests. 

    Rod McKenzie, of the association, said the Government's plan was "confusing" and felt like "it's been rushed", adding: "Where do you draw the line on lorry drivers, essential workers, the people in the supply chains? Because most of the people I know in the supply chain would say 'hang on a sec, I'm an essential worker'."

    Earlier this week, the Government said there will be no list of critical workers exempt from isolating rules and exemptions will be "considered on a case-by-case basis".

    On Monday, Mr Johnson indicated those that would benefit included "our hospitals and care homes, the supplies of food, water, electricity and medicines, the running of our trains, the protection of our borders and the defence of our realm". This was on top of NHS staff.

    However, on Tuesday the Government published no guidance on exactly which industries would benefit from the exemption, how companies hoping to take part could apply or what criteria would be used to judge applications. Firms are told to contact the relevant government department.

    A list of which sectors would be allowed to take part in the scheme was expected to be published by the Government on Wednesday, but by early evening no announcements had been made.

    Sources in the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy said it had been inundated with requests about the exemption from companies amid confusion about the scheme and business frustration at the impact of the "pingdemic".

    Just a quick note on how unreliable this 'pingdemic' is.

    I've heard that a couple got pinged; it turned out that it was someone in the house next door. Their respective phones were just a few feet away, enough to trigger the ping, but with a brick wall between them.

    This is the pitfall of a heavy reliance on tech that is crippling key industries and causing supply shortages.

    I found this video today on a channel I follow;

    Here yesterday they’re announcing petrol shortages in the south.
    And all being blamed on the ‘pingdemic’ (who comes up with these terms, sounds like a bad C list movie ha)
    I don’t really believe a word the media says, but food shortages was predicted some months back and whether genuine or manufactured it does seem something maybe starting to occur.

    I’ve noticed the last 3 weeks things starting to become unavailable. But it seems to be more far flung items like Passion Fruit, Avocado, the type of fruit not native to the U.K. or anywhere nearby. Also seafood too, there’s a lack of salmon and prawns at bigger supermarkets.

    Deliveries for online purchases are definitely taking longer too.

    *edit -I only just noticed, at 28 seconds it says on the paperwork date January 2018...🤔

    Isn't prince Charles one of those who are in a major part of this "Great Reset" they're now trying to forcefully promote? So now we're going to hear that term over and over and over and over again in the MSM so that all of us shall remember it. Whoever came up with that must be really excited now!
