Since food is the most crucial and expensive good in my country right now, and since nothing has changed over the course of this year, it is only now that you will realise how vital agriculture is to humankind. Many people report seeing a variety of unexplainable things. Since the price of fuel has gone up, everything has gone up as well, but food is the worst because you can no longer afford even a tiny bit of food, which is affecting many consumers because some people don't have jobs and struggle every day to feed themselves; now that the price has gone up, how can they survive?

The only thing I can advise someone in a country where the economy is hard is to go and learn anything concerning agriculture to feed because these days it really is hard. Farmers are the people who enjoy food now because they always sell their agriculture products to improve their lives and keep some agriculture stuff in their home to eat on because they always know that the government is not to be trusted and that is why they don't rely on government.

Although I agree with some of your points, I wouldn't really go as far as saying that farmers are the ones having many benefits with the conditions of food supply and price hikes at all. At least in my country, farmers are having such a difficult time as they are having less and less financial resources to buy their tools and essentials to plant and farm more. Essentially, like us, they are also facing the hike of prices with their needs for their work and thus it affects the supply of the food they produce that causes a price hike on their goods which then results in less and less sales. Aside from having fewer sales they also have to think about the danger of their products rotting and spoiling which will be another loss for them.

There is no food crisis yet in the country I live in or in my country. Of course, what I'm talking about here is being able to find the food products in markets because food prices have increased significantly in both countries. Although it isn't difficult to access many foods and meals unfortunately the prices have increased significantly. Especially since the currency used by my country has lost serious value it has been much more serious price increases compared to global prices.

In the country I currently live in it is very easy to access food just like in my country but unfortunately even though it is a European country the prices have increased considerably here as well. Although the prices of some food and food products are at an acceptable level today unfortunately this is difficult to say for some. In other words, these consumer products which are quite easy to access are unfortunately no longer easily accessible to individuals from all walks of life.

In summary, it would not be correct to say that there is a food crisis in terms of stock for both my country and the country I live in but if we have to comment on the prices of these products it is also true that we are faced with a price crisis.

It is difficult to know how everyone can survive with food conditions and food prices that have soared, because everyone has to think about themselves to continue to earn as much money as possible so as not to experience difficulties in their lives. The first trigger is indeed the increase in fuel which can cause other goods to also increase and because of this, everyone is starting to experience difficulties in meeting their current life needs. And I even hope that conditions like this can end soon even though it seems like it will be difficult to end.

Things like that also often happen in my place, because in my place there are still many farmers who struggle to improve their own standard of living by still selling their harvest and leaving some for daily consumption. This was done because the farmers in my place have no income in other fields apart from their own agricultural sector, so they will continue to live like that for a long time. Because when harvest time arrives, the price of their harvest never becomes expensive and sometimes can even decrease from last year's price.

Basically there are no shortages really but the prices for food is insane pretty much. I would say food costs 50-100% more than it did back in 2019.

Sure at first it was because of Covid and then the supply constraints however lately there shouldn’t be any supply constraints and prices should of either leveled or declined a little. However you can clearly see that’s not the case when going shopping for groceries.

Price continue to rise here and I believe this is due to the fact that most citizens are running away from agriculture leaving food supply for just few percentage of people. The government also add to the issue by not supporting interested farmers.

Living in a primary agricultural country you'll think the price of agricultural food will be lower, but no. Food crisis in relation to how expensive food is getting, is basically getting worse. Back then you can still get a month worth of food supply with minimum work salary, but no you can barely survive two weeks with it. Most of the locally made/harvested goods are twice as expensive that people who were able to buy them back then now has to think twice about purchasing them.

This is really true. Rice has been getting more expensive despite the fact that rice is one of the major agricultural crops in our country. So how much more from those foods that are being imported from other countries. Obviously, the food price inflation is getting more worse. If before it’s easier for regular earners to eat 3 to 5x a day, now even 3x a day is getting a lot of budget from our own funds.

Things are becoming more and more expensive here in the Philippines. Perishable foods like veggies and meat more so. It doesn't help that the agricultural sector's not getting enough assistance from the government and we're getting hit by the strongest droughts and typhoons here lately that farmers are left with soil barren from nutrients. Farmers, fishermen, and other related form of workers are getting dogshit salaries too so their qualities of life are on the gutter. So basically no matter how the Philippines look from the outside world it's on the shitbox when it comes to economy and earning good wages here is a pipe dream especially if you're working for a local employer.

This is a global problem and should not be taken lightly. Like BTC Price, It can be dumped at any time. Yes, this problem can also occur anytime and anywhere. I have noticed that from the various types of potential that you mentioned above, it seems that the food crisis is becoming a major issue due to drastic climate change, crop failure which will dominate in the future because the water supply in the soil is decreasing.

OP already stated it that it is a global issue, check again on the thread.
Anyway, food crisis is happening, you must understand that it already started since the pandemic happened a few years ago. This problem is complicated since there are many factors that also contribute to lead on the food crisis. Not only about the impact of pandemic or natural disasters, the political issues among the countries also worsen the food crisis. When there is a bad relationship among the countries in the world, it will be difficult to import some foods. Not every country can fulfill certain foods themselves, they sometime depend on other countries to fulfill it. I assume the food crisis can be easier to handle if all the countries in the world can cooperate together.

Well, that could be possible as well but I believe this food crisis will only be stopped once this food price inflation will be gone. That way, prices will no longer rise even more but will stay affordable so that all social status of people will easily provide food on their table. However, the key to lessen the food crisis is to have a garden of fruits and vegetables of your own. Aside from not spending on high amount for food because you already have on your backyard, that’s also one way of helping less fortunate people and give them for free so that the rates of hunger and malnutrition will not rise anymore.

According to reports from the government stated that inflation in my country continues to increase, in my country, of course, also feels inflation that is difficult to control, but the thing that makes me happy is that inflation can be a good opportunity to increase income, financial services are increasingly easily found even with official identity then we easy to get a loan

Inflation is I think a global issue and even in many countries, they also feel an increase but maybe the rates on fewer countries are twice or thrice higher than them. It must be Venezuela if I'm not mistaken who badly got hit by the inflation and the value of their money declined too much.

For us normal individuals, we can't do much about the inflation but I think the government's actions can affect it. Can't understand why you are happy about the high inflation when the majority likes it to be lowered. You might earn more money but that is because the value of your money is now lower than usual but you can choose to keep this money and hope that the inflation will go down someday.

To be honest I don't understand how convenience can be when inflation is getting higher in your country. Because when inflation is high here it is difficult to get loans. People started to care more about themselves. Even loans from banks are also quite difficult. But the only convenience that occurs when inflation is high is assistance from the government to help the people. But in my country inflation is not as high as in other countries. so yeah, I can't understand the conditions in a country that has an inflation rate that keeps rising.
Eh, wait, I just realized this, but I remember that lately applications that offer loans are increasingly circulating. In fact, it is quite easy for someone to get a loan with only the requirement to show a photo identity.

Well, being in an agrarian country does not guarantee that the price of staple foods will be cheap. Or it does not guarantee that someone can avoid a food crisis. unless we are a farmer who has a large area of land which of course we will always have food stocks for ourselves from the remaining sales. What causes food prices to remain high even in an agrarian country is because these countries usually import fuel from abroad. so that the country will be affected when global fuel oil prices rise. It's the same here as a result of rising fuel prices, all sectors are rising. because even the cost of cultivating agricultural land will have an increase in costs and make the crops also have to be sold at high prices as well to compensate. even the wages of agricultural laborers are also increasingly expensive at this time. because it is increasingly difficult for human resources to become agricultural laborers.

There is available of food here in my countryside but the issue we are facing here is the skyrocketing price of food products in the market and in the grocery stores due to iinflation plus the increasing price of fast food itself as a result of the recent hike in fuel pump prices from #600-#750 per liter from before #250-#350 per liter, insane.

Although I live in a country characterized by abundant agricultural production, I cannot deny the existence of a food crisis since a few years ago.
The crisis began after the rise of some raw materials for food industries in the global market. The rise in fuel prices also had an impact on these industries, since my country does not produce enough oil and gas to operate these industries, so it is forced to import despite its impotent trade balance. The Ukrainian war came to make matters worse, mainly because the import of grain stopped and the state was unable to buy at high prices in addition to the additional cost of transportation.
Despite the government's efforts to contain the crisis, it is almost unable to support many food industries in the absence of alternatives.

The food crisis is based on the economic conditions of that country.If the country is developed economy,then the production of food grains will be surplus and no need to worry for the food scarcity.But when the economy is in a underdeveloping,then they need to focus on the food grains and food production to avoid of the food crisis.The developing countries will partially spend some money for the food production and they on the safer side of food production.

In my country it could be said that the situation in terms of food improved a little there was a time when the crisis affected the entire national territory that it was impossible to get it and it was so much that even the rich felt such a drastic change, young people they saw themselves in the obligation of having to find a way out traveling to other countries whose economy did not yet present such impressive inflation, but now it could be said that despite the fact that the prices are exorbitant and people only work to be able to have what they need, it is possible to have access to food and basic necessities, however it continues to be a difficult position for those who do not have a good income... I hope that the situation improves much more with the passage of time although looking at the panorama of the country's situation and what is happening globally that affects us either directly or indirectly, living not in peace could continue even longer...

I view it from two angles, if there is no plenty of food to go round due to natural or self-caused situations and also a situation where there is plenty of good but citizens could only afford so little due to persistent rise in price, then as a matter of fact are the situations of a food crisis. These, I'm afraid are the order of the day in many countries.

The federal government in my country just yesterday declared a state of emergency on food. Although I see no food scarcity for now, they read beyond what we see, so the crisis is already here.

Two things that are the core of any nation would be energy and food. Because those are things we are going to use one way or another, I would say water too but water could be considered in the food one if you want to. If you can be self-sufficient in these two things then you are going to be a rich nation.

Any country that wants to be self sufficient must first be able to provide for the energy needs of its citizens as well as enough locally grown and produced foods in order to feed adequately its populace. I don’t think you would be necessarily considered a rich nation if you’re self sufficient in just these areas cause they’re other factors to consider as well.
A nation that is self reliant and doesn’t rely on the resources of other countries to survive is on the path to prosperity. Although we all need each other in some capacity, a country would fare much better if they could internally source and provide sufficiently, the energy and food needs of its citizens.

Those are very essential, a country that lacks food or energy consistently will suffer her citizens and lots of people will migrate to other countries. There are other things like security and infrastructures but its quite secondary compared to food, because the security men and builders also need food to execute properly their daily duties or tasks. On the other flip to fit your response, without security, for example, the food can be hijacked by bandits or other criminals, which will cause a hike in price of food supply in the country. However where food is lacking leaves room for increase in crime and so much suffering.
