How we survive food shortages

[GideonGono]

How do we survive food shortages? Easy solution. Try tilling the ground to grow your own food and be self sufficient.
Food shortages is on the increase in an alarming rate and coupled with the recent events involving Ukraine and Russia as well as the steady warming of the earth, it’s only getting worse.
Ideally, the easiest way out of all this is to get a piece of land and cultivate your own foods. That way, you would be self sufficient as well as having some cash crops to put some money in your pockets along the way.

This is easier said than done especially when you are living in an area where there is no space to grow your own food.  This is applicable to people who are living with huge backyards but most who are in urban area has very limited space so you cannot apply this kind of solution in the said area.  Besides not many people can afford to get a piece of land.

If people really want to they could do it, they only need small space for small pots to plant vegetables.
I've seen an apartment before that have pots of eggplants and some veggies that hasn't grown yet so I am unsure what other veggies it might be infront of their apartment.
The only downside that I see on this is that it would take time but at least you know that what you would eat is freshly harvest by yourself.
But I agree with stocking some instant foods and rice.

When the world population started to increase,the food scarcity also increased.Now the population is also the major cause of the food scarcity.Due to some global warming and global climate changes,the food production was reduced huge.Because the food production is the cause of most of the time food scarcity.When the food production was maintained by the world market,then their will be less food scarcity.Even the monsoon also the reason for the food production and it further leads to the food scarcity.The government also plays huge reasons for food products reach the poor and needy.

Food shortages have being a big problems in the global world today where tremedious things are happening people finds it difficult to buy food especially,rice products,climate change has devastated  the whole global world where crops can no longer do well in the farming system,believe with this new information about the crypto space can  our climate change system be put together where there will be high rate of food shortages in the global world as a new beginner I want to know we can fix this things I mentioned.

You need to tell us what you have heard about cryptocurrency maybe they might have brainwashed you on how Bitcoin affect climate change. This is  a wrong perspective because Bitcoin has nothing to do with climate change. Bitcoin uses energy for mining and making transactions. The place the major problem of climate change originated is as a result of carbon monoxide that is generated from industrial activities and our vehicles.

These are the major causes of climate change nit Bitcoin at all. Food supply can reduce as a result of flood and other natural and artificial disasters. The ongoing war is Also affect food supply and I hope op knows that too.

to survive on this crisis, one should think of ways how to address this situation on a personal level. if you will think of how your government will act on this matter, i believe you're just waiting in vain for the help. just look around your house and see how you can address this situation. tend a small garden if you can. some vegies can grown in pots. you don't need to buy these in the market anymore. look for ways how to be self sufficient.

Food shortages can only be aided by importing marketable goods from other countries into ours. But since such reimforcements won't come in an instant, you have to make your own move in order to survive such as saving your consumable goods and hoarding of some things for a period of time.

I understand your anxiety about future hunger as a result of rising sea levels and other climate change impacts on farming. Cryptocurrency is not the answer to these problems, however. Bitcoin was not created to solve global warming or food insecurity, but there are some indirect ways in which blockchain technology might assist, such as by lowering methane flaring associated with Bitcoin mining. I think we can all make a difference in the world if we dedicate ourselves to the task of solving these global challenges.

Well, he did not mention of such thing. Also, this industry might fall down in that scenario because people would be minding survival than to be rich. Also, if it would be famine, no cash or payment system would matter in this case, just survival and this would be a lot harder to deal with.

Bitcoin mining affecting climate change is all propaganda by people who are against Bitcoin.  They wanted to hinder Bitcoin adoption by creating senseless accusations making uninformed people think that Bitcoin is the culprit of these greenhouse effects.  The green house effect or climate change has been an issue way back when I was a gradeschooler, and yet they bring it and blame the event to Bitcoin.  It is laughable to think how shallow these anti-Bitcoin people are.

With regard to food shortage, nothing beats planning ahead and stocking non-perishable goods.  Since we still have time for that event to happen, we can prepare ourselves by growing our own food. may it be vegetables, fruits, or meat.  There should be no excuses of having limited space.  If there is a will there is a way.  Besides, it is easy to grow vine vegetables and doesn't need a huge plot of land since they can be directed to grow upward and even use threads to direct it where we wanted it to spread out and grow.

I don't know either, food shortage is happening worldwide. Having crypto or fiat cannot solve this issue, it you are living in a space where you can plant on your own maybe that could be a good idea but only for you and your family, but I don't know how long it will sustain your needs. Next is hydroponics, it can be a good way to recycle things and make every resource useful.

[panganib999]

As a rule of thumb in our household, we tend to keep a good stock of non-perishable goods in the cupboard like cup ramen, canned goods, and things that don't get bad so easily, as well as buy rice in bulk, so we don't have to go to trips to the store as much as possible, and we always stock up especially when there's extra money. We have also started cultivating our own veggies which isn't that much but it has helped us a ton from taking trips to our local produce market, as well as deal with the apparent lack of fresh vegetables. Food shortages shouldn't even happen in theory but we gotta deal with it somehow. Ultimately, we really have to deal with all this bs, and the ones that suffer the most are the people who aren't that affluent to be able to handle things like these.

[summonerrk]

Such problems are well solved if the governments of the countries act as a whole. As it happens with the phenomenon of globalization. But since the world is a disparate collection of countries with different interests, the situation becomes more complicated. Some have a better developed agricultural sector, and some have practically none.  The solution is the following: you need to set up mutually beneficial ties, and invest in the agricultural sector.

I don't believe that there is an area with no ground. Even if not inside our compound, there must be one outside. Even if the space isn't that huge, that should do the job already. We won't be planting the whole vegetable in the alphabet but we should only plant the one that we need or the ones that it's easy to grow.

Eating canned goods is bad even if you say that those canned goods are vegetables because they already gone through preservations or there is already a chemical added to them so that the food will last for a long time. It's always good to eat fresh foods. Not only that but they also taste great especially if you know that you are the ones who plant them.

If we want to repair a broken system, it will depend on each country's government. If they really think about their people, they will work more seriously considering that food shortages have occurred in other countries and this requires more attention from the government to prepare enough food for its people. The government should be thinking about this to provide food for its people and not be busy with its affairs to get more money. Maybe the important people in the government need to go downstairs, especially to the grocery stores, to check how prepared they are for everything that is about to happen. This requires serious attention from the government and all its people so that every country can solve the problem of food shortages.

Don't just blame the government if the problem is the nature this is out of their hands but they can or you can do something about it. This is the hardest truth that we people should face because there are people who doesn't care at all about the nature as long as they make money. This should be the main focus of the government to stop what these people/company been doing specially to those huge industry that's making a lot of smoke pollution or those illegal loggers/miners who keep on destroying the forest and mountain/river.

If we want to survive on this food shortages in the future – we should at least learn how to grow crops on our own so we shouldn't be relying too much on the food we buy on the market.

Cryptocurrency or Bitcoin on the other hand isn't connected to this problem but there are indirect ways to make them useful in food shortages.

One way to improve the world's food situation is through smarter, more meaningful consumption. If you know, in developed countries, from 20 to 30% of purchased products go to the trash can. It's wasteful. I understand that people DO have the OPPORTUNITY to buy more than they can actually consume. but that doesn't mean you should do it. More reasonable consumption, one of the ways to solve the problem of food. Plus, there is the problem, for example, of some African countries that have been "sitting" for many years on international funds (on the basis of the UN, the Red Cross and the like), which simply consume, but do nothing to really change the situation. Perhaps it is necessary not only to bring food and distribute it, but to invest in the construction of agricultural production, train the local population and encourage them to WORK. Believe me, I know what I'm talking about. I was in one African country where there is no desert, there are many quite fertile lands, but the local population says "we do not want and will not work, just keep bringing us food, we are so comfortable" ...
In a word, you need
1. redistribution and quality consumption
2. to force the population, which sits on "subsidies" and does not want to work, to work, including in the role of farmers.

I’m curious on the African country you visited that despite having no desert lands, and according to you quite fertile lands but the local population literally says they do not want to work and the food should just be rolling in.
I would think that the UN or any NGO sending food and aid to that area would immediately stop sending aid there if the populace says there are not willing to work but are able to. Besides, these charitable organizations normally visit famine prone areas or disaster zones to spread relief and not somewhere that the land is fertile enough for crops to grow.

I quite agree with you on the need for more reasonable consumption as people with the financial muscle could purchase foodstuff that is more than they need and a large chunk of the groceries end up later on in the trash. I believe there are people who after having bought more than needed, would let foodstuffs go bad than donate to someone in need.

There are so many solutions to the issue of food shortages that the world may be experiencing. Some of these solutions have a pragmatic approach, and some do not. Food shortages can be addressed indirectly through cryptocurrency. How so?
Cryptocurrencies can help with the provision of farm credit to poor farmers and those located in hard-to-reach areas where financial services may be nonexistent. Doing so will give them the morale to get back to the field to cultivate their crops or rear their animals.

  you have really made my point clear that was what I really want to know and understand  about the impact crypto currency can make or help in compacting food shortages or climate change in the globe.

[tabas]

I don't understand what it does something to do with climate change and crypto. But let's tackle the food shortages, when the war with Ukraine and Russia has started, this is where it all started for the ingredients like wheat has come into shortage.
And it has impacted other food products that requires wheat and in result, the prices have increased a lot and then affected most food products that has it as a main ingredient for it to be made. But this problem is actually happening in some other nations already where people are starving to death and it's not just being spoken through the mainstream media because they're bias on it.

[dothebeats]

Start being self-sufficient and start growing greens in your backyard. If you have a small space that you can set up pots and soils on, you can probably start growing your own food and pick up things from there when you need it. In these dire scenarios, you wouldn't really expect anyone to help you as they're already busy helping themselves secure food. If the system already feeds a lot of mouths in a rather scarce resource, it helps that you alleviate that burden by having something growing on your own yard. May not be the best approach out there and obviously won't work to everyone, but if you have the means then just do it.

I think A global food shortage is an unlikely risk.  My country has not yet fallen into a food shortage but is only affected by rising inflation and price fluctuations due to increased fuel and production costs.  Do you think a bag of fertilizer can easily triple during covid19?  Lol, some greedy millet took advantage of the difficult situation to hoard and push up the price and sell them to get rich, supply - demand imbalance as well as import increase - export decrease.  I think each country has to base on the country's situation to make appropriate actions and plans.  For example, a country with advantages in agricultural production and export will continue to develop, build a transportation system that easily transports food goods, connect production and consumption areas, etc.  medium and long-term credit to stimulate investment expansion in agriculture/agriculture….  For countries that do not have an advantage in food production, etc., it is possible to reduce the urbanization rate of the plains

inflation is a problem. But this does not mean the food will be short
One need to work hard to earn to cope up with the inflation.

It's a thing that many people in richer countries have never had to experience so far and Covid showed that big unexpected shocks to the supply chain can cause many unexpected reactions. Panic buying was very prominent and might possibly be the most dangerous things early on a disaster. There are vast reserves hidden away in warehouses, but if the logistics break down or people buy too much it can turn into a vicious downwards spiral that is harder to exit. How to survive it yourself? Have plenty of tinned and non perishable goods stored up, along with a supply of vitamins and ideally try to grow some of your own vegetables in any garden space - if for no other reason than to learn a few techniques.
