Better to prepare ourselfs already and building up stockpiles. This will be so sad once people start selling a bag of apples for 100$. We should try to become self suficient again as a nation and not rely on imports all around the world.
I agree with this point. We will not be hungry and troubled if we become a self-sufficient nation and work together in mutual cooperation. Not being a crybaby nation that complains and preys on one another for the sake of selfishness.

But not all of us would be able to do that.

Without the help of other people, some of us can't stand with us. Some are not just crybabies that you would just call while you never know the reason for that cries. They are working hard, it is just that the system is not about pushing them up as they go, if they don't force their way in they will just be beaten up until they can't go.

Crazy world! First problems during the pandemic was when toilet paper was out and people started stock piling soap and toilet paper at home like crazy. It makes sense that food will be the main issue during the second and third wave of corona. Better to prepare ourselfs already and building up stockpiles. This will be so sad once people start selling a bag of apples for 100$. We should try to become self suficient again as a nation and not rely on imports all around the world.

The extended shortage of toilet paper was caused by a sudden shift in consumer demand. The country didn’t suddenly start using more, it’s just the place where demand originated changed. Production capacity is more than adequate, but it was split between industrial production and personal production (i.e., work and home). When offices and businesses suddenly didn’t need the industrial production anymore, producers had to shift production to meet the i teases home consumption. That takes time, the supply chains are large. But things have reached an equilibrium again.

As it goes for food production, we’re not really reliant on the rest of the world, so there’s no concern there. The US produces enough to feed itself and is a net exporter of foodstuffs.

I do agree with the 1st statement, people suddenly panicked to buy products that they thought they would need to survive the 1st part of the pandemic that results to overshopping of products they think that they need to stock as soon as the pandemic starts, needlessly thinking that most of the people in the country are in the same shoe. thus leading to shortage of products such as toilet papers, and soaps.

as for the 2nd part, I do not really agree for before, the US can produce enough to feed itself, but given that the world is in the state of pandemic, and US currently has 2.5 million active cases, the productivity of farms is affected by the virus, and the fear that the pandemic gives is really alarming. Though we can say that US will last for a period of time but will scarce if the pandemic continues.

Nature ask for justice for what people have done to it. This global warming was the effect from people's abused to the environment. With this pandemia happened this time, I have noticed the peaceful environment thus making the mother earth to recover from distruction. No pollution in the streets and no busy noise around. Maybe we need to take good care of our mother earth and we will be saved from this global warming.

Even before this pandemic happened, some countries are already experiencing acute hunger like Africa, Afghanistan, Sudan, Venezuela, and Yemen. And now that we’re in the middle of pandemic, most of these countries hunger issues have worsen and was predicted to  experience famine this year.

We’re aware that overpopulation is an issue that needs to be addressed as well. Some countries resources are very limited compared to others, hence limiting food distribution to most areas especially to the far away lands. The people from the province and isolated islands tend to be malnourished because of lack of food and clean water.

In addition, climate change is contributing a lot of problem to the agriculture industry. Because of climate change, the seasons of harvest changed for some crops and it even brought stronger typhoons that destroy the farmlands.

Maybe we aren’t experiencing famine at the moment, but it’s better to be prepared when the time comes. Whether you like to admit it or not, most places are already suffering from it. Now is the time to use sustainable methods and techniques. We must not rely to other countries commodities and instead cultivate, produce, and support our own.

In the face of an increasing population, we do not have enough land to live and cultivate. Nature is constantly changing, grasshoppers, pests develop, crops cannot yield as well as before.
To overcome famine, each country should change its diet to be more suitable. European countries have now reduced meat in their diets and added more grains. They don't use bread more often and instead use rice. I think that science and technology will change and there will be many new cultivars and new breeds of livestock with higher productivity and quality.

We must realize that natural laws occur almost every year like a disaster or anything that can harm humans, as happened in several countries that are experiencing this pandemic.
and many people are starving and losing their jobs or livelihoods due to this pandemic and this is a serious problem for the government which must be taken seriously, because many people have died of hunger or have other diseases and all are considered infected with the virus.
As in the country where I live, the number of deaths is increasing due to starvation due to lack of income or not being able to make ends meet due to government regulations that make it difficult for them.

Climate change is happening, the cause of climate change is largely caused by humans. Companies, multinational corporations, and the history of the industrial revolution have seriously devastated the environment. Hunger can be overcome by using crop technology to increase yields, but that only happens in developed countries. Poor countries will have to bear the consequences themselves because they do not have the technology or any methods to increase food productivity.
We are destroying the earth and the environment on our own. Climate change won't stop if we don't know how to protect the environment.

This is a serious matter, I had thought the change in climate was only in some parts of Africa, it has been a big time concern to farmers, crop yield is so poor, only farmers who can afford irrigation are striving and how many could afford it here, in this status quo that people are still struggling to survive, after escaping COVID 19, will cost of feeding still add to what people are going through? We really need divine intervention.

I fear that before famine comes, the lack of water will come. You may think that the world is mostly water but almost all of that is salt water that is not drinkable, I am telling you this as a person who had to drink sea water for 3 days because there was no other water around me and I can tell you that it really hurts after a while, the first day is usually okay but around noon of second day you start to feel that even your tongue gets bigger and can't fit in your mouth and on third day I didn't even want to drink anymore, I knew it was my last day so I wanted to just get thirsty and stay thirsty instead of drinking salt water.

When all the good clean drinkable waters stop, it is going to be a huge challenge to make sure all those oceans can be turned into drinkable water, possible with tech we have but it is also impossible to do it for everyone in the world with how much infrastructure needed.

Every year we are visited by famines it become a part of our seasons, typhoons are more stronger and dry season are longer than it were than 2 decades ago, our government is spending a lot of money from this natural calamities, this is the reason why our government cannot sustain our other program because huge funds are allocated for calamities and famines.
This is kind of situation is sad because the money that ought to be spend on something that will give citizens betterment are reserved for calamities and famines but i think the government need to empower alot of people that could assist them or help their community when famine happen.

This is one of the consequences of climate change. Sad

Yeah, but so many people are denying it or downplaying the consequences. I really hope humanity will get to the point realising climate change as a huge threat for humankind.
That could be without a doubt a factor but to me the most important factors are overpopulation and overexploitation, the world as big as it is is not infinite and yet we are using resources at an incredible rate for things that quite honestly are not bringing us too much of a benefit or none at all in the name of just getting a little bit of profits.

Basically we are using the resources of the planet only thinking in the short term benefit this will bring without thinking on the long term disaster this will cause for future generations, and if I am honest I do not see a way to change this as most people do not care about it and will only care once they have the problem face to face and at that time it will be too late to do anything.

I guess its payback time.. There were lot people who has a lot before the pandemic started but spends and spends their money without checking if its necessity or leisure... they have not prepare for saving up some for times like this... And know they realized their expenses before the pandemic happens..too bad its already late to realized this.. But what tgey can do is make things right... earn something to save up as long as youre doing good thing and never abuse anyone. Atleast God will pour some little help.
Rich people never spend money on something which is costly for them, if they do then they are just pretends to b rich. People own hard assets are rich by now but the one who owned stocks lost a lot but many used it as an opportunity to  make more profits by getting the shares for cheaper than ever.Never blame God, its their responsibility to hange their life if they want to come up or else they will become poor forever.

I spoke to a friend the other day and he reckons that we are seeing the "End of Times" as he describe it. He is also one of the people who repeats the same doomsday prophecy, every time when there are some kind of catastrophe.

Yes, in Biblical times.. prophecies was made that predicted many of the catastrophe scenarios that we are experiencing now, but nature has a way to heal it self and we see this "balancing" reaction, when there is some factors that are introduced to tip the balance. (Some animals adapted to the change and/or nature went into a cycle to repair the damage.

This virus pandemic, might just be nature's way to "balance" the burden that humans are placing on it's natural resources.  Wink (Just look what happened when restrictions were implemented... oceans was cleaner and some animals even walked around in cities)  Cheesy

This is the price of industrial revolution, we did not address this issue when our scientist started to warn us about this coming catastrophe and now it's almost late, so many iceberg are melting down soon there will be flash flood everywhere we have seen a lot of tsunamis and tidal waves
and this decade is very much different from all the previous that we have.

Modern life and its reality is what we are feeling today and that is driving towards causing more harm than it is doing good.

We can talk about famine when there are no planting or less of it.

As irrigation has taken over natural way of tilling the soil for produce but with its own effect.

Ozone depletion and global warming etc are all human cause to move away from nature in wanting to better their living.
Can we say these are even the major causes of numerous frequent death in this time in the societies compared to the bible days.

Humans are forced to move away from nature because their population is constantly increasing. As of now, the human population stands at 8 billion. Nature can't feed this many people. That's why we are forced to use chemical fertilizers and pesticides, in order to improve the productivity of the land. Now there is no going back, unless we are able to reduce our population.

Time to stock up on a few decades of MREs, not that anyone can afford that many.

If you'd shown someone even 50 years ago what the world population would be by now they would've automatically assumed we would all be starving to death yet we're muddling along. Let's hope we can improvise our way out of a tight spot if there is one.




well I agree, just as humans are trapped in a deep pit, are they going to stay there without doing anything?
Of course not, humans will live no matter how we have faced various kinds of crises and things that were impossible in the past but are materializing now.
there are countless examples, and what the OP said was only a fraction of the total.
