"35 Things We Know About The Coming Food Shortages"
by Epic Economist
"We’re on the cusp of a catastrophic food crisis, and massive food shortages are emerging all over the world. Things are going to get far worse than what they’re telling us. Over the past few months, we have been reporting a series of facts and stats that show that global food production is set to collapse to perilously low levels this year. In other words, the food that isn’t being grown in 2022 won’t be available at the stores in 2023. Unfortunately, most people out there don’t seem to realize the real extent of the food shortages that we’re about to experience. And it’s not only in the US.
Earlier this year, UN Secretary-General António Guterres publicly stated that he believes that it is likely that there will be “multiple famines” in 2023. Similarly, UN General Assembly President Abdulla Shahid noted that the organization’s ability to respond to these issues has been compromised. “Frankly, we were already falling short of meeting our food-security targets, prior to 2020. However, the situation is now critical,” he said. “The shocks of multiple global crises have weakened our institutions, our economies, and challenged our ability to effectively respond.”
Unfortunately, as global food supplies continue to shrink, the risk of civil unrest keeps on rising. In many places, this is already happening. A new analysis released by Verisk Maplecroft, a UK-based risk consulting and intelligence firm highlighted that “the risk of civil unrest has surged this year in more than half of the world’s countries, signaling a coming period of heightened global instability fueled by inflation, geopolitical conflicts, and shortages of essentials”. Researchers noted that 101 of the 198 countries tracked on its Civil Unrest Index saw an increase in their risk of civil unrest between the second and third quarters of this year.
In recent weeks, we have seen major demonstrations erupting in cities all over the world. But conditions are not as extreme as they are going to get in the coming months. It’s safe to say that when it finally becomes undeniably clear that there simply will not be enough food for everyone in 2023, we’re going to see a lot more chaos emerging all across the planet.
Many populations will deeply suffer as we enter the later stages of 2022. In 2023, there will be famines and social uprisings all over the globe. This is not a drill. A critical global food crisis has already begun, and we would like to encourage you to get prepared for what is ahead while you still can. We’re on the verge of an absolutely unprecedented worldwide food crisis that could start as soon as next year. But still, the vast majority of the population doesn’t seem very alarmed about this. Perhaps they just don’t understand what’s truly going on, so we would like to encourage you to get this warning out by sharing this list with as many people as you possibly can. As you’re about to discover, we now have a large amount of data indicating that it is impossible to deny what is coming."
