Hunger

[Fake Messiah]

Oh no, hunger is coming because, apparently, all the food and fertilizer is made in Ukraine and Russia, or maybe not all but enough to create world famine.

So we have articles like this

Fears of a global food crisis are growing due to the shock of the war in Ukraine, climate change and rising inflation.
Last week, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres warned of "the specter of a global food shortage in the coming months" without urgent international action.

The U.N. estimates that in the past year, global food prices have risen by almost one third, fertilizer by more than half and oil prices by almost two thirds.

World has just ten weeks' worth of wheat left after Ukraine war

The world has just 10 weeks' worth of wheat stockpiled after Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine disrupted supplies from the "breadbasket of Europe".

Russia and Ukraine account for around a quarter of the world’s wheat exports and the West fears Mr Putin is trying to weaponise food supplies. Russia is on track for a strong wheat harvest this year, cementing Mr Putin’s control over the staple grain as bad weather spoils production in Europe and the US.

Gro Intelligence chief executive Sara Menker warned global food supplies are being hit by a number of “extraordinary” challenges, including fertiliser shortages, climate disruptions and record low inventories of cooking oils and grains.

She told the UN’s Security Council: “Without substantial immediate and aggressive coordinated global actions, we stand the risk of an extraordinary amount of both human suffering and economic damage.

“This isn’t cyclical, this is seismic. It’s a once-in-a-generation occurrence that can dramatically reshape the geopolitical era.”

Western officials also fear the Russian president is deliberately trying to damage global food supplies by destroying equipment and stealing grain in Ukraine.

Earlier this week, Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey warned of “apocalyptic” food price rises as Ukraine struggles to export products.

So please, if you have a garden or a lawn sow some grains now so that it matures till the harvest time and you avoid being hungry. You know, like wheat or beans or soybeans, etc. And lock your pets when the hunger comes.

Maybe we will have to eat the corn instead of wasting it making E15......

Facts:
Russia owns 20% of worldwide wheat exports.
Ukraine 10%

Rest is fear mongering....so far

More of a problem for those already in famine hoping for cheap grain to help with relief efforts.

[The Grand Nudger]

It's not just the war in ukraine. The global fertilizer shortage was caused by lean supply chain issues during the pandemic. I think I wrote about it and linked the articles back when it started It's still ongoing though they've largely resumed ops - there's a backlog and prices are up by increased demand. Then, ofc, people were already dealing with extreme hunger and starvation before that. A preexisting issue, exacerbated by the plague, further complicated by disruptions to two major grain exporters.

We won't feel that in the us..though, anymore than we felt it before. There are companies making a huge push to get out of the haber chain, though - not a bad investment at present - to say nothing of the future. We have no future so long as we eat oil that we purchase from despots plantations as they rattle a nuclear sabre and swallow their neighboring states.
