There are many things we can do to improve financial conditions, especially for food, we can use empty space to grow vegetables or fruit so that we can reduce expenses, as long as we can be active and always think creatively, we will easily solve all difficulties.
Farming is prominent field, if farmers didn't face problems in farming then there is less chance to have food shortage. one of the biggest issue farmers face,
that is lack of infrastructure. Apart from this there is many others problems like rising sea levels, climate change etc.
SOLUTION: We have to turn ourselves to be self reliant is best way to overcome from this problem. If you have enough backyard then you can grow so many things which really help you to survive in food shortage. But many people can't afford to get piece of land, this time people must have to start doing kitchen gardening.

While the use of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology in agriculture and food supply chain can potentially improve transparency, traceability, and efficiency in the food industry, it is important to note that these technologies are not a solution to the underlying problem of climate change and its impact on food security.
As human beings we must be sure that all fortune is guaranteed, if we pay attention to birds that never go to school but no birds die of hunger, as long as there is effort then we will not die due to lack of food, there are many things we can do and only lazy people who only always blame it on conditions.
You move to countryside. Countryside is much more resilient to food shortages and other types of crisis. Also, you would be surprised how fast people can accommodate to disparity.
If a person who is used to living in urban areas and then moves to rural areas, he will definitely have to make adjustments to an environment that he is not used to seeing before, although he can definitely do it. But you also have to know that rural areas also have drawbacks when a person is used to using services such as banks, mini markets and others which are not available in villages. So, in whatever environment we live, there is always a shortage, even though the category is different, because in a village there is always more food if there is no disaster coming to that village.
So, if I make 5k a month in New York, and spend 2k on rent, then if I move to rural area and make 3k then I spend 800 on rent, not much really changes, I do not become rich suddenly, or my costs may go down, but my income doesn't stay the same. That's why it is not really a situation we should be accepting as alternative to living in a metropolitan area, there are advantages here too.

Everything still falls back to man with regards to how they pollute the environment with heavy chemicals exposed to the earth crust. Each passing year the level of food scarcity keeps increasing as result of human inquisitiveness, discoveries and use of harmful raw materials to get an expected finished product which affect the global environment, from farm products to sea foods including domestic and wild animals. Food scarcity or shortages caused by human activities has no remedy using the crypto inventions. Except a high profiled blockchain technology can be incorporated to monitor and guide human activities such that it doesn't affect our environment. It will only take humans ensuring other humans dispose harmful chemicals and pollutants properly such that it doesn't affect our environment which is where blockchain might come in since its data can be transparent and has high integrity. A very dark topic, but this is indeed the reality that is happening in underdeveloped countries and if you have read articles or seen on YouTube, one of them is Burundi. Small country with a high poverty rate.
When we talk about climate change and extreme weather, we cannot avoid it. But for some developed countries there must be a solution for that, for example gardening with the help of technology that can manipulate the weather.
But the problem is, how can these poor countries find solutions for themselves? I think the most appropriate step is for developed countries or rich countries to provide assistance to poor countries. Because poor countries have almost no way to solve their hunger problem because the economic circulation there is very limited, the exchange rate is low, and the wages of workers are also low.

The only solution for climate change is when we work together. Your solution for rich countries to counter it is only working for them but it is only small changes for climate change. No matter how rich or poor the country if we work together like dont burn plastic or dont use it, proper wage disposal and mostly reduce gas emmision then we could definitely solve the problem but now it is close to impossible that is why those NGO and other volunteers are trying to plant trees on daily basis just to help the mother earth
The price of food is increasingly expensive and continues to increase, agricultural countries that were once considered poor are now more prosperous and even have strong political power, until whenever humans need food so that the state must immediately take concrete actions to be able to produce food, unfortunately many developing countries turn into industry And when industrial competition is very tight, they are sorry for losing agricultural land.

That would be beneficial for short term but it will never work anymore in long term. I think the best approach to that is to encourage the poor people to work even if its based on their capabilities so they can provide food for their family. As long as they have their main source of living, even if inflation and climate change continue to appear, that won't affect their health as they can still provide the needs of their family.

You might want to rephrase the cryptocurrency part because I couldn’t understand it one bit.
But to answer your question — chances are, food wouldn’t be literally inaccessible. It’s just that food will end up being really really expensive in a food shortage, so if you can’t afford the surplus, you’re screwed.
So the solutions are obviously:
- Work hard and smart so you can continue affording food even if food becomes expensive.
- Try growing your own food.
If you chose to stay and live in the city, you will always struggle buying all the expensive foods you want. That is why some have chose to go back to their provinces and live there if they find it hard growing their own food here. But if you can’t grow your food, then focus on improving your source of income or do some side hustles so you can have additional profits that will help you to buy those foods you really want to eat. People should never see this food shortages as a big problem, the biggest problem they have to face is when they don’t have any penny to buy their foods and end up starving to death. But to answer your question — chances are, food wouldn’t be literally inaccessible. It’s just that food will end up being really really expensive in a food shortage, so if you can’t afford the surplus, you’re screwed.

With just a backyard to grow food, we'll have trouble getting to be self-sufficient. We are yet not in a situation where we really need to plant just about anything in our backyard though.
When we are in that situation, however, an individual like ourselves who grows any veggies in our yard will be ransacked by those guys who are not gardening. Those guys pack together to raid just as we see in post-apocalyptic movies.

Increase your income and increase your food resources, that way you will no longer feel food shortages as you have enough money to buy for them or you grow your own food that’s why foods are now very accessible at your own yard. But never expect that foods will be back to cheaper prices same before. There is endless inflation so expect that prices will grow every now and then.But to answer your question — chances are, food wouldn’t be literally inaccessible.

Having more money works as long as food grows on the fields. If the amount of available food goes down, the prices go up. What happens if nobody grows any food? What happens if there isn't any food available for purchase? Then no matter how much money you got, you will get no food because there won't be any food for sale...
What then?
That's the problem with the current modern monetary system. Every time we encounter a problem, the solution is printing more money. Printing money requires no work unlike printing food. What happens if nobody wants to print food?
We die.

I have a bit of land so I can grow my own food mostly during summer. Basically, I do not have to buy vegies unless I want something very specific or I feel too lazy to plant my own. Meat and eggs I can get them from my neighbour if I want to, albeit a bit expensive I rekon. Otherwise, food shortages require a good store in the good years, there is no other way round. Buy stuff when cheap and find a way to store it.
My personal reasons why I chose to grow my own vegetable is not due to the rise of prices, but because I can assure the quality of the plant that isn't sprayed, coz there was a time in my area where there're lots of people who're poisoned on eating crops they bought from the market. I know it sounds funny coz I could have advised them to wash their crops multiple times if possible before cooking or eating, but regardless it doesn't changed the fact that they were poisoned and even those who did the proper hygiene and clean them thoroughly suffers the same fate. We also didn't know the cause, while some are speculating it could be hugely related to how they store the harvests, that pushed me to plant my very own crops without usinh artificial fertilizers.

Yeah, countryside has its drawbacks, but if we're talking strictly about food sources, then nothing can beat countryside. You have game to hunt, you have forests and fields to forage, you have land to grow crops on. All of which requires skills and knowledge, of course.

If you've got free space in your house like on the balcony, rooftop, or even by the front door where sunlight can reach. You can start planting crops and veggies there. You don't have to have that farming system and it's just like having a mini garden in your backyard or elsewhere you can do it. Planting those fruit-bearing plants would be good as a start. I've done this but not yet with the veggies, so, with my test, the plants that I've planted grew properly and I'll do it now with the help of my mom as she's the one who really started it out.
It may not seem that much but it's a good practice.

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.
Food shortage is not a today's problem, it had been there for long nand we had been living with that ensuring we provide more food as population keeps increasing. The government are working to do reduce food shortage but inflation is affecting farmers finding it difficult to procure farm tools and equipments that will yield more food results. Fertilizer is becoming expensive everyday making price of food to be expensive, difficult for a some people to buy.
