Topic: What crisis what food crisis ? - page 3. (Read 625 times)
Food crisis is real and my counrty have been suffering from it for a couple of year now many people can afford to eat twice a day not to think of having three meal per day and the economic crisis is getting worse day by day people are suffering from hunger.Hope there will be a good policy implemented to fight the crisis going on.
Many factors have indeed affected the food crisis in the global world today, the current geopolitical conflict between Russia and Ukraine is one of the causes of rising world food prices, besides the drought that hit food-producing countries certainly triggers the current shortage of global food, but fortunately my country which is an agrarian country has sparked the idea for a long time not to depend on food from other countries so that it does not have too much effect on food supplies in the country, food self-sufficiency implemented by the government can be a solution to avoid a food crisis happening in my country.
Maybe in some other countries there are food crisis due to different factors that causes them to have insufficient food for every household. But I don't feel like there are food crisis in my country since it seems like inflation is their very problem here plus the price of oil/petroleum spiking after hearing the News about the Russia and Ukraine war.
And not to mention the salaries isn't increasing yet the price of basic needs rising to sometimes 2x to 3x of its common price. But, as time goes by people still buy them although it's not the same as how much they could take home and it just means that their casual grocery items was cut half.

Global food supply chains are stressed and have been negatively affected by weather events, droughts, extreme heat, floods, tornadoes and hurricanes, pandemics, Russian invasion of Ukraine, costs of energy, fertilizers and pesticides. which is part of the trigger for the global food crisis.
These problems make it very difficult for producers to grow the crops, and animals that produce the products to ensure a stable global food supply.
In the end, the price of food commodities became very high and at this time the impact was felt in several countries such as Africa and Asia. the food crisis does not mean that the supply of all kinds of basic foodstuffs will be non-existent, the current food crisis is just the beginning, you may not feel the impact right now, but if this continues, it seems that many countries will feel the big impact.

Here in our country the supermarkets are full of food too, no problems on this matter, but what is the point since people can't afford the foods' prices?
Of course for few individuals it's not an issue anyway, as they can pay for any costs that are imposed to them, although it's a minority.
It reminds me a statement I heard on the local television from a citizen who was asked if he was concerned about the increasement in fuel prices and he replied he didn't have any reason to worry, that prices weren't expensive for him and that only people who don't have money to afford those prices should be concerned.
This is a mediocre approach, because it ignores the possibility the next one to suffer the consequences can be himself, in other words, the person in a currently confortable position.

News and every where about crisis and food crisis
The crisis are not nowhere id like to see some real crisis but there is nothing everything is just fine

Looking at current developments It seems that the new crisis is only reflected in a few countries. When this happens, there may be a shortage of necessities such as food, water, and other materials. But you don't need to listen to the stories that are already circulating on many media channels. Therefore, you have to think wisely about keeping your money, because we do not know whether there will be a repeat of the major economic crises that have occurred from time to time.
You are naive if you think a food crisis or any other major crisis for that matter is going to happen overnight. Take the fuel crisis in Europe. It didn't happen over night, they had a lot of problems and were already struggling then Russia reduced the supply and everything got worse. It still isn't at scarcity level where Europeans don't have any energy to keep the lights or the heat on but the first step is rising prices then slowly it could end up turning into a worse situation.
Same with food crisis, at the first stage it won't be like you would one day wake up and see there is no food left in the world and you have to starve!!! It happens with stages, first stage is increasing prices due to less supply and increasing demand. Then some items won't be found (like bread for example) that you could live without but slowly other items could not be found anymore or be sold at extremely high prices.
Of course the governments aren't just sitting around waiting for it to happen, they are trying to prevent it as much as they can which is why the crisis is happening slowly and may not reach that worse case scenario even if it is heading that way now.

Of course, whoever has money will not feel the existence of a food crisis or any crisis!! When the money is available you can have everything even if it is at a higher price than the normal, the real crisis is the inflation crisis where the purchasing value of fiat is reduced and it has become difficult to get it, you need a lot of work and a lot of time to get some fiat to buy your daily needs If you don't have many fiats, then you will feel a food crisis.
For people who have good financial conditions, of course they will not experience a food crisis and assume everything is fine. Even though the price of
food goes up, people who have money will certainly not be so affected and can still meet their daily needs. But not everyone has the money and the job,
in the area where I live many people find it difficult to buy food. Because there are still many people in my country who earn under $2 per day,
so we can imagine how they were greatly affected by the increase in food prices. That's why we have to keep working hard to make money and prepare
our future well, so that we can still meet our daily needs even though there is an increase in food or or increase in other basic needs.
For people living in 1st world countries the shortage of food is only manifested in higher
prices because these countries are able to pay the higher prices for grains etc. which in turn
leaves a shortage for those who cannot pay the premium even if there is surplus left.
Correct, the problem is only going to get worse. This year we have seen crop failures in Italy
and Portugal fail due to the high temperatures and low water supply.

There are different indicators which suggest we need to brace for future, frequent crop failures there is monkeypox scare and there is economic slow down. I see that economy is loosing steam and crisis is around the corner we all need to be prudent before we invest in our money anywhere...global a
Warming is also becoming more prominent.. so yes crisis is around the corner

No plans to visit those places anyways
Lol, the fact that you aren't ever going to visit those places or that you aren't affected by the problem doesn't mean that it does not exist, and that is what you claimed in your OP, that everything is fine. Mind you that when they say there is a food or hunger crisis, it does not mean that everyone in the world is suddenly hungry, it simply means that the number of hungry people prolly increased or the cost of buying food became higher and many people can't afford a sufficient quantity for themselves. Remember that due to the pandemic there was an increase in unemployment, coupled with increase in prices of commodities, now imagine people who were poor prior to the pandemic, surely things have grown worse for them.

Dude, wdym
Everything is up by at least 10%. Which is huge!! Even wheat's price is soaring which is very rare. Prices will continue to rise till 2023, there seems to be no end to it. And yet you are posing stupid questions
You are right about one thing tho, where's the bear market
But guess what, this is a sure sign of how bad things are going to be. Speculative investors keep on pumping the market and are generating this huge bubble. The current p/e ration doesn't justify the price of so many stocks but people continues to buy in hopes of making lost money back. We still got debts, inflation will keep on rising and soon it will all break. I truly hope it doesn't but all the indicators point southwards.

If prices are high just make more MONEY but good life is standard money is just numbers add more numbers on ur bank account then
Few bucks left or right dont change quality of ur life anyways
You presented a very simple fix in a few words "make more money if you need food and money doesn't matter". Nobel prize in economics on its way to acknowledge your intelligence.
John Maynard Keynes will roll in his grave when he gets to know about your neoliberal axiom. You sir, are genius.
Normally crisis means the economy crisis,when the food plays a separate role,it leads to the food crisis.Economic crisis can be acceptable and it recovered in a short period of time,but food crisis leads to world war.The same food crisis is the reason for the Russian revolution and encourage the Russia to get into world was during 1917.Now the market was not a sustainable one and it may leads to food crisis in long run.

News and every where about crisis and food crisis
T b honest i go to shop and all full of food never had problems with food.
I must get 3 meals per day i couldnt function any less then that if i eat less its a suffering for many people.
People not into suffering struggle games, sure the goverments will get a lot pressure from their own people if they start to play with food.
Also im waiting economic bears but everything going up everybody spend money eating out and i dont see crisis.
Wherr is the crisis and where is the food shortages??
Im full of food i dont see any food shortages also i dont see any supply chain distruptions...i go to all shops and i get everything fine.
The crisis are not nowhere id like to see some real crisis but there is nothing everything is just fine
If you're in a geographical location where probably you are comfortable due to you having uninterrupted access to food availability and stability in price then you should just be grateful and silently enjoy the privilege. For not many in the world currently enjoy such quintessential basic need to human life.T b honest i go to shop and all full of food never had problems with food.

On the other hand, am still wondering what place of residence you occuppy in this current global surge of economic and foods crisis that your own part of the world is not affected. Maybe you can give us update of your location , as many like me will love to pay a visit.
At this point, I think 325btc is living on his own parallel dimension where these real-world problems don't exist. Food crisis doesn't necessarily mean that we are no longer producing food; it's just that the cost of producing food products are heightened leading to high prices on these products. Inflation is spread everywhere around the world, and if you don't feel these effects, it's either you're out of touch with reality because you're extremely rich, or you choose to be ignorant on these pressing matters that a lot of people face.
I don't understand what is the point of your post if everything is fine with you. It seems that this is what you are unhappy with. The current food crisis has not affected all countries. This affected the underdeveloped countries more, and those who are largely dependent on imported products. Be glad you're all right. And if you want to know how it is to live with a food crisis, give up food at least for a while. What problems?
