Topic: How we survive food shortages (Read 1693 times)

It's true, right? I've seen that wealthy people avoid shortages. They handle challenges better. However, what about societal effects? Shouldn't we consider communal responsibility? These catastrophes are life-changing for the poor. I believe financial understanding and resiliency are essential. Adapting, managing resources, and possibly contributing to a more equal system are important

You've reached a critical stage regarding the government's crisis export management. Yes, cutting exports to control shortages is simple. Is it really that simple? Such decisions can affect international relations and home markets because the global economy is interconnected. It's a balance, right? Balance present needs with long-term economic stability. I think these seemingly simple options are complicated and require considerable analysis

   We know that whenever we have a problem that we face in life, there is definitely a solution. So far, in the country I'm in, I don't see any food shortages. And in the reality of today's life that is happening, it is still good that we save food stock.

   And as I read somewhere, we should also plant foods that sprout easily, which can also help us in the coming days when it comes to ingredients that we can use in the food that we cook, especially vegetables and fruits.

True, it is really that indeed situational on which conditions would really be reflecting basing up on where they do live and mostly their financial capacities. If we do speak about shortages then you wont really be putting up yourself on such trouble or hassles if you do have the money that you can make use on. Whenever you do have the funds or finances then i dont see any problems, things turns out to be messy if you are a certain individual on who doesnt really have that kind of capacity on which it would really be making you worry on these type of conditions or situations. This is why it would really be that important that as much as you could then it would be always best that you should really know on how to make yourself better on this regard. You cant really be just that too careless on possible situations such as this.

When it comes to global crisis and other economic related stuffs then this isnt really that much of our concern yet important and exporting is something that would really be that on governments management.
If they do saw that there's lacking of a particular good or supply then cutting exportation would be the key but if not then it should be continued, as simply as that.

I think this is highly dependent on where you are located and what sort of resources you have available. Many people in the West might find this an alien concept if they're working every day and bringing in a salary, that can at a minimum avoid them basic food and the occasional luxury. A lot of people can also be quite wasteful in their lifestyles, whether that is becoming addicted to cigarettes, or over indulging in alcohol or even picking up a more expensive hobby like collecting sneakers. If you asked them to lay out a budget that might allow them to save more and make their money stretch further, they can often protect these things even though they might be one of the biggest money sinks in their lives.

I am a bit confused with some phrases you've made OP but yeah let me just share my thoughts based on my understanding. No doubt about the effects of climate change, war, terrorism, politics, pandemic, crisis and less  production there will surely be food shortages that happen here in this situation.

New generation kids don't care about this shortages and they mostly don't prioritize or even practice handling or maintaining production sufficiency because they were swallowed by the social media system. Old farmers sooner or later will stop producing good harvest but the problem here is that young generations don't usually follow their legacy and prefer the other way.

Another way to address food shortage is to improve and increase education and knowledge sharing about food insecurity.
   By better informing people about the challenges at hand, solutions are easier to create. And this must include young people. As the future leaders and stakeholders of our food system, young people are central to the development and scaling of new food insecurity solutions. I believe everyone should have access to education for a lasting change in one was or the other.

If you can do that and you have that opportunity better to make it as a habit and take that also as extra curricular, I mean planting can help you to be more active and with the plants both vegetables and fruits that you will harvesting can help you surviving this difficulty that most of us are experiencing, aside from extra job or things that grows your money, better also to invest with physical health that will let you acquire your attentiveness, planting also can bring enlightenment in life, with the way you grow your plants you will see the value of each food that you are harvesting from your own yard.

We must use gardens to grow vegetables and fruit that are useful in conditions of food crisis and avoid high price increases for main commodities, food prices are very high due to the impact of the dry season and several farmers failed to harvest this year.

So even though we don't have a large yard and we can use hydroponics to grow vegetables, prepare yourself for the habit of planting vegetables rather than buying them at the market because the vegetables we grow are more natural for consumption.
​

During food shortages, we should have reserve funds for emergency situations like this. As much as possible, we should have a stock of food in cans in our homes, or if we have yards in our house, we should also plant vegetables that grow quickly and can be harvested quickly.

At least it will somehow help us buy the prime commodities we need. I've tried this even though my yard is small, and at least I can pick some of the vegetables and fruits I've planted somehow.

Hardly any significant growth can come out of a comfort situation. When your just okay about the income your getting or the situation you find yourself in at any particular time, you would find yourself developing a routine that would end up producing the same result or results that would be within a range.
But, when you find yourself not contented with your achievements, you definitely would seek means for exploit and make more out of the preceding situation using the same available situations.

Speaking of birth control, it’s by far one means to reduce over populated as, you can’t actually decide on who lives or dies but, you could decide on the rate at which people give brith.

This is mainly achieved through proper sensitization on family planning. When a people are fully aware of the economic situation of a country and the means in which, having more kids can affect them, they would take measures to reduce the rate at which a family gives birth to more kids.
This in turn increases the standard of living for the family and nation state.

"Crypto can solve everything" or 'Crypto is the cause for everything"

When people are going to stop these stupid statements, we are responsible for changes in the climate but we are not the sole reason if you don't know the earth is always changing and that's how even humans came into existence so at one point we will cease to exist as well that's the fact. However, if someone says bitcoin mining is the reason for global warming or they are going to create a project that is going to save then all I want to do is just give them a hard slap.

I was having similar discussion with an economist, few days back. The high rate of building in the society is becoming much and these buildings don't yield any income to the owners. Nobody wants or purchase a land for the purpose of farming, anymore. Which is affecting households financially. To battle food shortage, every household should at least have a garden where they plant some specific food crops. So, they won't have to purchase every single food they want in the market. If they produce their own food or oven rare livestock, it'll help reduce their expenses on food. Additionally, like you said, the government play vital role regarding income and export. But, citizens should also contribute in the growth of the country. Especially for the good of their family. Government can mandate households to have a farmland like in the past. I mean in food producing countries. Most people already abandoned their farms for cooperate business. Don't know who told them they can't joggle both businesses together. Now the money made via the cooperate business is used to purchase food. Citizens instead of contributing in producing food, purchase food to eat, hence affecting the availability of food produce meant for export purposes. Which then affects the country solely dependent on imported food.

Actually in this case being in crypto in my opinion is not to make as if we are comfortable and always awake to continue to survive because what I feel as long as I am in bitcoin in the investment that I do is only as another support for the future to be better.
But to face the problem of economic crisis and sruvive in the life that is done we still have to continue to survive the situation that occurs and my investment is one of the supports but it is not the main thing because in the end to survive we have to do anything including work to support our daily needs.
Don't just because we are in bitcoin we can get through it easily because the concept is not like that.

While I agree that man-made climate change is one of the main causes, I think that food shortage is the result of another modern man-made problem. There should be absolutely no reason why, with our knowledge and technology, there should be any food shortages at all. The world has more than enough food and should share with those places in which mother nature has decided to play a bad prank. But even the food we grow can be genetically modified to grow under any conditions, even in drought. So why do these shortage exist? Greed in disguise. As long as politicians never go hungry, they do not care much about what happens to people elsewhere. Hell, farmers don't even own the seeds they buy.

Really that too far off actually in speaking about connecting crypto on trying out to get involved in speaking with some global or common economic problems on which its true that its usage and its relevance doesnt really connect out with these type of problems on which it is really just that Bitcoin or crypto is really just that having its utility on payment purposes and when it comes to investment then we do know that it does give out that kind of opportunity that someone could be able to earn. The only thing that i do see for it to be relevant is on the time that it do give out that kind of chance on making income,if we are speaking about
food shortages because of that non sufficient supply then i don really see the connections about on how Bitcoin would be resolving out such problem.

If we do speak about shortage in terms of having no money to sustain then it is really that somewhat having that connection but of course it isnt something that could really be
easily achieved in speaking about having more income source specially on trying out to deal with crypto space.

Crypto certainly cannot solve all the problems we face every day, especially regarding surviving food shortages, because for me this has nothing to do with it at all. Crypto is for investment so it has nothing to do with or be a solution to food shortages.

Of course, regarding pagan deficiencies, the government in each country must help correct them. for example, the government must support farmers, especially fertilizer. Fertilizer subsidies do not have to be evenly distributed. If farmers are prosperous, they will be able to support national food security. So the country no longer needs to import food so the country has its own food sovereignty. Then the shortage of infidels in every country will be resolved. In essence, apart from what you mentioned there must be a research team, there is also the government's duty to provide modern agricultural technology to the community, such as fertilizer etc.

For sure, its a survival thing that human will always find ways, though its  a tough situation but human intellectual will guide them to look for fit or close solution just to survive, we can't remove the fact that it will happen and there's a chance that it will continue to bring difficulty in life and like what you saidregarding to birth and death rate, the solution might be is controlling that situation by finding also the right and fit solution to avoid bringing more shortage in the near future.

I think we will find a solution, it is precisely the problems that make humans develop, because humans will actually find a way to solve these problems.
but in the case of birth and death rates, I think the only way is to reduce the birth rate or reduce the population.

Would really be totally depending too on how their government would really be handling it out on which we know that they are the ones who do play a vital role when it comes to those kind of situations specially
in importation and exportation on which it would be understandable that if they do saw that there's an abundant supply of a specific product then they could decide on making some export for in exchange for other
possible things which could benefit them but if it turns out that it do becomes scarce then it would be normal that they would be cutting the supply on which it is a normal approach.
It would be always basing up with the law of supply and demand, price would go high basing up on that certain condition. We know that lands now are gradually been destroyed to make up new buildings
on which those are really just good for some planting or whatsoever so im not shocked that one day if there would be no enough farm fields because of this continuous development.

Every country has different form of raw materials, which they can sell to different countries around the globe to make profits. A food producing country, definitely, won't sell out all their food to other countries. Because they also need to regulate the circulation of food in the country not to run out of food. While other nations with other raw materials, which is not edible can purchase food with the money generated through exported goods. For a food producing country to manage their nation against food shortage, also has to do with demand and supply. Unless the land is polluted and few regions are now fertile. Then, they can reduce the rate of food export to other countries and focus on feeding their country. Especially, in the current world situation, where food is getting scarce with widespread of diseases, affecting the growth of crops. Farmers face difficulties like flood destroying their farm produce. In such a bad season, countries rarely export goods outside the country, because they didn't produce enough food. Hence, countries depending on imported food, would face serious food shortage. Thereby, skyrocketing the price of food in the region. Since, they can't import food like before, when the food producing nation had enough to export.
