UN warns of looming worldwide food crisis in 2013 | |

Failing harvests in the US, Ukraine and other countries this year have eroded reserves to their lowest level since 1974. The US, which has experienced record heatwaves and droughts in 2012, now holds in reserve a historically low 6.5% of the maize that it expects to consume in the next year, says the UN. “We’ve not been producing as much as we are consuming. That is why stocks are being run down. Supplies are now very tight across the world and reserves are at a very low level, leaving no room for unexpected events next year,” said Abdolreza Abbassian, a senior economist with the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO). With food consumption exceeding the amount grown for six of the past 11 years, countries have run down reserves from an average of 107 days of consumption 10 years ago to under 74 days recently.

Thread: Koyle's Famine has begun -- 3 more bad summers before relief The messenger explained that there would be winters of heavy snow and big snow drifts after which there would be a mild open winter, but whether that winter was to follow immediately or whether some other winters would be in between, he never explained. Quoting: www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message1966484/pg1However, immediately following the mild open winter, there would be a hot, dry summer. The crops would come up in the spring, and there would be considerable moisture, and the crops would be glorious (that is the word Bishop used to use.) He saw the wheat would grow up and head out beautifully, and the irrigated wheat would mature, but the dry land wheat would not have enough moisture to fill out.

[link to www.pakalertpress.com] People who live in America rarely consider the need for building up a food supply to offset a national crisis, such as a devastating war or a natural disaster, simply because food in the United States is so readily available and easy to obtain. However, if something terrible did happen and supermarkets did not remain open, people who planned ahead – like you, for instance – would have the ability to survive and overcome the food shortage. This is not to suggest that Armageddon lies ahead, but it is always wise to prepare for the unexpected and the unforeseen. And now … you can do just that. A recent article appearing in a survivalist magazine provided the blueprint for building a substantial and nourishing food supply over a 52-week period . Importantly, the foods that can sustain you and your spouse can be bought once each week for about $5 (perhaps a bit more if prices in your area have risen). Do the math: the cost for building your emergency food supply is going to be very affordable – just $5 per week (approximately) for 52 weeks … a mere $260. That's not a lot of money, especially when you consider that you can spread the cost out over a full year. And, while the foods may not seem exotic or overly enticing to you (see the list below), they will sustain you and your spouse. And they are nutritious.

To state that you can avoid the food shortages by growing your own food shows your ignorance of the fact that global food production is tightly controlled by the use of bioweapons. Global carbon taxes are the new stock market. |

Quoting: Shazball This is just another step in the regulation of food. Both at the market and at your garden. I don't see any reduction in the production of bio-fuel. It consumes 40% of US corn, and 15% of global corn production. Please stop pointing out the blatantly obvious... The UN frowns on that shit... "Hold my cat while I bring in my tomato plant.
