Topic: What can an average JOE do to face the global food crisis? - page 5. (Read 486 times)
Tend your own garden if you have space, even set-up a hydroponics outside your terrace. Some people can optimize their space and plant whatever they need. Start evaluating your lifestyle. As hyudien said, reduce excessive lifestyle. Some people are just wasting food inside their fridge. Better buy some long-lasting stocks like fluor, corn starch, dried beans, rice, canned goods and others. If you feel some of your foods are just going to the trash bin, better change your menu and look for more long term food stocks.
The food crisis is happening because of Russia's war against Ukraine, and currently the most pressing matter is that a lot of grain is blocked in Ukrainians ports in the Black Sea by Russia, so it just can't reach its destination, reach those who most need it. So if there's anything an average Joe can do to stop the war, they should (protests against the war, against the Black Sea blockade, against trading with Russia). Also, if we're talking about middle-class people, they aren't the ones who'll be hit by the crisis the most. But still, if it's possible to afford it, I'd stock up on flour, dry pasta, yeast (to bake the bread if there's none), non-perishable goods. Not much, no need to go crazy, but just some of it in case there's a severe food shortage and you need to survive.
Reduce excessive lifestyle and still use finances in moderation. Stock up on investing in Bitcoin and real estate for the long term. In this case, Bitcoin will be quite important as a support for anticipating a definite financial crisis when a food source crisis will have an impact on inflation which will experience a sharp decline. Avoid mass chaos as much as possible and do not get involved in certain political interests.
When a country like America experiences a crisis, of course we will surely see the impact of the invasion of other countries. Absorb the natural resource needs of developing countries down and beat them to maintain America's economic stability. Although to be honest this sentence is more appropriate for China, which is often at the forefront of invasions of natural resources than the US.
Turning to a Middle Eastern country with limited oil supplies, raising the price per barrel is one of the surefire strategies that has allowed it to survive the global crisis.
The question is: will it really happen and hit the average economy of every country?

We started reading more reports that talk about the possibility of a global food crisis, especially in poor countries.
Supply chain problems, war, inflation, fertilizers will set fire to the already high food prices.
What can the average middle-class person do to protect themselves from food problems?
Will buying more food and storing it solve the problem, or trying to start farming or investing and trying to increase his money to buy food at any price? Or what?
