Famine is coming next ...

[pokeronlinestatus]

There are natural things that can lead to drought taking place, apart from that some people from the comment has listed civilization as one of the causes, which I am not really sure of, but I think that the best we can be doing to help ourselves is to make sure we are collecting and storing water properly as we should, because if we keep on wasting water, like in excessive irrigation and things like that, we are going to be ending up in situations like these where we will be in strong need of water.

Well, one thing for sure is that if one country is experiencing drought and they don’t have food, they can still be able to import from other countries.

There's a lot of people who don't believe in the said pandemic, that they quote "It is a way of the government to subjugate their freedom". This kind of people tend to do things in a lot in different ways other than what is needed to be done. therefore food waste will still exist even though we're in pandemic.

As for the scarcity of food supply, it MAY exist if the pandemic continues for a long period of time where the supplies will decline as the demand increases. People with below-average income may not be able to afford enough foods to feed their families thus results to hunger. This situation is if and only if the PANDEMIC CONTINUES FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME.

Yeah, but those people are - to put it mildly - wrong.  Nobody created the virus to subjugate people.  They don't need a virus to do that, it doesn't make any sense.  It's easier to subjugate people the normal way. 

Just because we're in a pandemic doesn't mean food demand increases.  Food demand stays stable relative to population.  So the threat of food shortages comes from the supply side.  It's a non-zero risk, sure, but not a serious risk by any means.  There is enough of a social safety net to prevent wide-scale hunger in the US.

I hope that these articles are dramatizing the situation. But now I'm even more convinced that more people will die form the economic impact of Covid than from the virus itself.

Famine will not be actual in first world countries, im sure. Anyway, it's nothing more than fud news right now. Don't see any signs or real famine right now

If every individual unites into a community working together for the common good, there will not be a cry of hunger. a centrally controlled system will have no effect if all the individuals working together will become strong communal.

That would be really beautiful.

But let's be honest, with what is happening right now, I don't think all of the people would be accepting that way. Usually, if a family could just live by themselves, they won't bother helping others because the most important for them is to save themselves. If other poeple are struggling to get some food, it is not their problem.

Famine can happen any where, from first world nation, to third world nation, although famine will be felt in many third world nation, some are facing severe famine already, agriculture is dropping in third world nation that should be harnessing it, they are interested in precious stones, diamond and petroleum, and if petroleum excesses/mis-handling can affect nature life, land and sea.

Many people do not care that they will be independent in their own way or with their own families, so individual communities rarely occur because division must have hunger for sure if they cannot unite, but still if they believe in a matter of conviction then maybe they can still survive and will continue to seek without affecting centrally with the community.

It might not be famine but they are also affected by this pandemic. It would be other things like unemployment, every country would be affected and doesn't mean you can't see it there doesn't mean it is not happening. Just imagine those people that doesn't have anything before the pandemic, what do you is happening at them right now.

everything is affected by this crisis because the world suffers the hardest days for more than 60 years .

This pandemic teach the whole world of what is investing is all about,that if we only foreseen this situation then maybe all of us had saved Money so there are no Hungry people that asking for help and assistance.

and expect this to come back in shape after the Vaccine injected to every single infected person.

Not everyone on first world countries are invulnerable from famine. Not everyone is rich. Well if you haven't seen any signs of famine right now, you probably is at place that has good economy.

This pandemic caused a lot of people to give up their jobs to stay on their homes. Also there arer families that doesn't have enough food supply. That's one of the signs  of famine.

In developed nations, most of the people do have considerable savings or pension deposits. This should enable them to survive for a few months (but not for an indefinite period). Things are not that great in developing nations such as India. Here, very few do have any savings and every now and then I am hearing tragic stories about starvation deaths. We are close to the breaking point.

I don't know if that is true but I've been seeing some posts about families in India committing suicide, some with their family because of starvation. It is just that bad this year, I hope you people would continue to hold hands and help each other during this pandemic. What we can do now is to keep ourselves steady and keep pushing forward. If we can we help other people stand up

Nah, I don't think so. Actually, I am living here in the province and not yet experiencing famine. However, our country's national debt continue to bloat. It doesn't mean you have a strong and sustainable economy just because you are not experiencing famine. We are. What I only think is happening is that people here only knows how to live even without any form of luxurious stuff. We can live even without going to malls and fancy restaurants,  not ordering expensive foods because fish and vegies were already enough. In short, we are able to survive because we are contented of having a simple life compared to urban areas .

Shimmiry, I supported what you said because people in the first world countries are always after modern business/work and if such countries hit by famine they will be unprotected because the rate of people into agribusiness is not enough to sustain the country.

NavI_027, the area where people take farming as a top priority can easily survive any famine conditions and I believe most people from your area are into farming but been content cant be enough to skip through the famine.

It would be awful that while we are still dealing into a serious threat concerning our health is that we are also experiencing the serious effect of climate change that may arise at this point of time because actually here in our country, the cycle of have already changed because supposedly at this period, we are already experiencing a cold weather but what we have is a very hot weather which is really very unusual thing. We all know that we are already facing the consequence of our human act for not taking good care of our nature but still let us just hope that famine won't come at this time for many people are already suffering on hunger due to loss of job because of the pandemic. May this world have a little mercy on us not to let that happen. Let us just hope for the best things and do not hope for worse things to come like famine because we are not yet through dealing with this pandemic.

[pokeronlinestatus]

There are things that happens in this world that are completely out of our control, but based on my observation, whatever it is that happens, humans are always able to get through it and keep living. There are lots of things that I have seen happen, and it always surprises me how when it happens people still survive it.

I don’t wish for a famine to happen, but if it does happen we are still going to get through it. But anyone who is aware of this, it will be good for them if they start looking for ways they can provide food for themselves and their families in such a situation.

If this covid-19 crisis will not be controlled, it will continue to destroy the humankind and the world's economy. I guess, this will really happen if we can't find the cure/the vaccine to end this battle. Poverty in different sides of the world, grows higher and its really sad to think that a lot of people are  starving. We just pray it will never go that far and this world's craziness will be over soonest.

Plenty of politicians undermining any effort to control the spread of the virus. They're almost always conservatives.  The anti-science politicians need to be voted out of office if the world has any chance of containing this thing. Suffering these fools helps nobody.

The more technology develops, the more productive we develop, the better varieties of wheat, corn, and rice we will have. In breeding, we have more breeds of pigs and cows for better productivity.
There is currently no data showing that we will have famine in the future. The COVID 19 epidemic did not affect much agriculture. Some people lose money in aquaculture but they will soon return to the crop because they know that human needs are always increasing.

[Ayiranorea]

Famine isn't gonna strike by now, but based on the difference on governance over every country there is possible chances of famine. During this lockdown there is change in climate, and this improves the development of agriculture. By now famine can happen only out of corruption.
