"20 Foods To Stockpile For The Imminent Shortages"
"A devastating food crisis is rapidly spreading all around the globe, and it is only a matter of time until it hits the United States. Shortages are being aggravated by extreme weather, low fertilizer production, geopolitical conflicts, and supply chain disruptions. Our domestic food systems have never been so vulnerable to external events, and inflation is making the outlook even more worrying as basic grocery items continue to face huge price hikes. U.S. farmers have been reporting alarming crop losses, and it's clearly getting worse with each passing year. Now that we're seeing the economy and financial markets starting to break again, it's important to get ready for the chaos that is coming before things go south. Preparedness takes time and patience, and you'll realize that all the effort you put into this will pay off when the next black swan event hits and everyone starts panicking while you'll already have pretty much everything you need at home.
Today, we decided to compile several products that are key in any pantry, and survival scenario. From the simplest staples to the items people often forget about, this is the most complete list we've ever made on this subject. For instance, supplements are vital when food is scarce. They replace some of the nutrients you would have normally consumed in your regular diet and help to ward off disease. Every person's needs are different, so you may want to check with a doctor about which one is the best for you before you start stockpiling. Also, pay attention to the expiration date and don't ingest more than the recommended amount.
Moreover, those who take preparedness to the next level always highlight the importance of stocking up on a variety of garden seeds. In 2020, when shortages rumors started to spread, people rushed to buy seeds which then made some varieties very hard to find for a long time. Like with everything else, building a seed stockpile takes time, and most importantly, dedication because at the end of the day, you'll need to learn how to plant them and how to take care of your garden. Seeds are the No. 1 step for you to become self-sufficient. Even though we can on everything we can from a store, most of the items we need will eventually run out, especially during a period of prolonged food shortages. For that reason, we must have a seed supply somewhere in our pantries to be able to grow some of our own food and have a survival plan without relying on the stores that always provided us with the staples we wanted.
On top of that, many people often forget to add this essential product to their stockpiling list, but it is when you don't have it around, that you realize how important this leavening agent is for lots of recipes. From cakes to bread to muffins and more, baking powder can help you to transform humble ingredients in your pantry into delicious snacks, and dishes. It is very cheap and also easy to store, so don't forget to grab a few extra packs when you go shopping to stock it up for the longer term. At the end of the day, preparedness takes time and patience, and you'll realize that all the effort you put into this will pay off when the next black swan event hits and everyone starts panicking while you'll already have pretty much everything you need at home."
