Topic: Wheat War I is going to be World War III - page 12. (Read 6278 times)

I believe Ukraine is already in so much trouble and doing so - they will end up in more crisis.
There is no alternative of oil and gas and that in so short time period - EU has also created so much trouble for themselves and for the other world by jumping in this whirlpool of trouble.

In Ukraine, about 90 percent of agricultural land has been sown this year compared to the previous year. The weather this year is normal, there will be a harvest in Ukraine. In the seaports of Ukraine, the Black Sea Fleet of Russia is now blocked about 22 million tons of grain, which Ukraine cannot supply to the world market. In addition, 39 ships belonging to 14 different states are also blocked by Russia in the ports of Ukraine. They cannot go to sea, because Russia has already fired on 9 ships of various states, one of them sank. Thus, Russia is now behaving in the Black Sea like a pirate who hunts robbery. At the same time, it is creating tensions with food and even the threat of starvation in some countries, trying to get some sanctions lifted from itself. This will not work in Russia.

Ukraine is now striving to completely break any ties with Russia, including trade ones. From July 1, Ukraine plans to introduce a visa regime with Russia. Now Ukraine, on the contrary, would be very happy to close the gas pipelines that transport gas from Russia to Europe so that Europe does not finance Russian aggression. This may very well be the case in the near future.

Therefore, our choice is a couple of trays on the roof, with onions, spinach, lettuce and dill Minimum investment, extremely simple, and fresh herbs are always at hand.

And agriculture has always been very difficult. Small farm - everyone is busy from early morning until night. A large agricultural complex - huge investments are needed - machinery, seed, fertilizers, personnel ....

In a word - agriculture or farming becomes a savior only if there are no other options, you are ready with the whole family from dawn until late at night to work, work and work again ...

I think food will be an issue for Europe only in case their enemies turn their lands infertile through bombing or chemical attacks and by invading allied countries which are weak militarily, but strong basic goods producers and exporters. Otherwise, automated machines and equipments, plus modern farming techniques can help the continent to be sustainable and independent.

About wheat in my country, specifically, it corresponds to one of the most imported goods, which costs about 2$ billion dollars for the country annually, representing about 44% of the total wheat supply. The other 56% are produced in the local territory. Indeed, it means a lot of dependency on imported wheat and a major crisis would be terrifying for the common citizens acquire this good, which I consider essential and indispensable in our daily meals.

Funny situation is obtained in European countries with the provision of assistance to Ukraine. Europe helps Ukraine get rid of wheat. And what will the Ukrainians themselves eat if most of their fields are not sown this year and there is no harvest? This situation will create hunger, which can cause them serious problems. Ukraine has income from pumping Russian gas through its territory. And it still brings her income. Perhaps this country will have some money to buy food for its people thanks to Russia.

Farm life is restless and too tiring. You won't have enough rest unless you get sick due to overfatigue. You have to handle the plants and take care of the farm animals which will take you long hours of work. Some people might say that it's an easy job but it's actually one of the hardest jobs I know yet they receive low payments for their labor. They still can't live the life they want because the government isn't fair when it comes to paying them.

Sanctions have no purpose - to give a positive effect to the country that introduces them. Sanctions are a deterrent to the other side. And very often - sanctions are a "double-edged sword", the second end of sanctions always hits the participants in the implementation of sanctions. But it is necessary to stop the new brown plague, in the form of rashism! Even such a not very safe mechanism as sanctions. Otherwise, we will get the second year of 1939, and already hundreds of millions have been killed, and even more have lost everything, are starving, and no longer have any future. Look at this problem a little more globally ...

I can agree to this. Cows need to be milked quite early, like 5am or 5:30am. Unless the farm is quite large, that is stretching for thousands of hectares, there is no point in employing additional labor. All the labor requirements need to be met within the family of the farmer. And small scale farming can be one of the riskiest career options, because of the volatility in prices. For example, wheat is trading at $500 per tonne as of now. A few years ago, it was trading at $150 to $200 per tonne. The same can be said about several other agricultural commodities.

Small farm? My relatives are engaged in agriculture. Their land, their fields, their cows and other living creatures. I can tell you - I probably could not stand it! Getting up at 5 in the morning, going to bed at 12 at night, and working hard all day - few people agree to this. I think that you are talking about the inhabitants of cities. All that urban residents can afford is a small "garden" on the balcony or roof of the house, where in the summer they will grow the simplest and most unpretentious vegetables, and in absolutely small volumes. But you won't grow bread, you won't raise cows and you won't get milk to make cottage cheese, kefir, butter, you won't grow olives or sunflowers and you won't get their bottom butter for salad or cooking other dishes. This direction will not give "salvation". Well, or the residents of the city need to migrate to the villages, and there they are engaged in self-sufficiency by leading a farm

Not just easy, but still it is profitable for individual to buy food, then do farming. How long it takes to grow a tomato? Months. Add watering cost. In addition there are no guarantee that after months of routine watering you will have a tomato. And you can always (so far) go to a shop and buy a tomato. Instead of spending 10min 30 days in a row garden beds, you can spend those 5 hours doing freelance job and in the end go buy several kilograms of tomatoes and you will be left with some spare money.

Food security is a basic need that must be met to support human survival. So many countries are promoting food self-sufficiency to meet their own food needs. the development of agricultural technology is currently being developed to get more effective and efficient results, so as to get abundant results. especially in urban areas that lack land that can be used to produce agricultural products

Just as the most recent development I have seen in life is happening, which is where I see the cost of natural goods or foodstuffs increasing day by day, many people are still unable to generate an income to satisfy. current change. Some sources I find it amusing about what happened after the war between Russia and Ukraine. When the sanctions were in place, the countries that tried to isolate Russia were doing themselves more harm than good. while Russia, India, and China are the more unscrupulous beneficiaries. They embargo fuel and oil or gas from Russia but buy it through another form from India, and China is benefiting from the shipping deals, so the show from the top when deciding to determine whether economic sanctions bring good value or only cause inflation to increase and lead only to more suffering. If the bigotry situation from some parties is not resolved satisfactorily, food will be a major battleground.

Farming is a very effort intensive activity, and most of us don't have enough spare time for this. If you are working 6-7 hours per day, 5 days per week, then you may have some time to do terrace farming or organic farming. But in case you are in a job that requires working for 10-12 hours a day, 6 days per week, finding spare time for this activity is not very practical. I like the US model, where just around 1% to 2% of the total population is comprised of farmers. And the produce enough food materials not just for internal consumption, but for export to other countries as well. On a pro-rata basis, large-scale farming is much more productive when compared to small-scale.

I agree with you that you need to try to provide yourself with a minimum supply of food. Many do not have extra time for this activity, so it is easier for them to buy food. In the near future, many will reconsider their views on life in the direction of their small farm.

I already said - I love your humor ))) Although it smacks of propaganda, it's very funny, honestly! Keep going

From my small town in the Urals, a special forces platoon has already left two times on a combat mission to Ukraine and returned after a planned rotation, loss of personnel 0%. You better watch your losses, terrifying figures are leaking from various sources that the irretrievable losses of Ukraine in killed and missing already exceed 200,000 soldiers.

Zero. There are no NATO warships in the Black Sea, with the exception of Turkish ones. Turkey strictly observes the Montreux Convention. I see that you do not understand the subject at all, so I will not analyze your propaganda nonsense in detail, especially since the economy branch is not the right place for this.

From the aspect of
- War being atrocious
- Genocide
- An illegal invasion
- Innocent people dying
War in Ukraine is exactly the same as any other war that has happened or is happening elsewhere in the world like invasion of Iraq (which Ukraine also helped), Afghanistan (which Ukraine helped again!), Syria, Libya, Somalia, Yemen, Palestine, ...

From the aspect of Western media coverage you are right, it is a completely different war since the censored media is giving second by second coverage with each event put under a magnifying glass.

It is more like the farthest place in Eastern Europe not center!

A world war in the sense that the West is fighting Russia to the last Ukrainian is already going on but more than that is highly unlikely.

The war in Ukraine is very different from many wars that still periodically take place in different countries.
Firstly, this is the center of Europe, and the Russian attack was under a far-fetched pretext to seize the territory of a large neighboring state, genocide its population and forcibly annex its territory.
Secondly, the large scale of the war due to the large territory and large population of Ukraine, which is home to about 40 million people. Ukraine now has a front of 2,450 kilometers, of which 1,150 kilometers are active battles. Russia has already lost about 100,000 people killed and wounded, 1,434 tanks, 3,503 armored vehicles, 213 aircraft, 179 helicopters, 721 artillery systems, 229 multiple launch rocket systems, 97 air defense systems, 2,473 vehicles, 588 UAVs and other military equipment. Russia is very bogged down in this war and is already gathering people and obsolete military equipment from the most remote parts of its vast territory. But anyway, it continues to threaten all its new neighbors, namely Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, which are members of NATO. Therefore, the Third World War is quite possible.

1. Gauges are a problem, some of them still destroy the peaceful people of Ukraine, bringing death and devastation. But, and this is also Russia will answer
2. "If we omit about aircraft carriers, what will remain of the former military power of the United States? This is a very sensitive issue for the Pentagon generals." - you claimed that NATO is afraid to bring its ships closer to 1500 km I gave you an example of how many NATO ships are in the Black Sea, which are located a hundred miles from airfields with MIG-31 with Caliber. You AGAIN pretended not to understand the question? Don't do that - very conspicuous!
3. The "logical explanation" is simple, Russia is not at war with NATO now - that's the only reason. - YES And for some reason, the biomass of Russia is told that you are not killing civilians in Ukraine, but just ... you are at war with NATO You decide, or you will receive an article for "For insulting the feelings of those who believe in the nonsense of Putin and his company"
4. "Of course I can, Russia does not launch massive bombing strikes on Ukraine, so as not to damage civilian infrastructure. The only case so far when Russia used air bombs in Ukraine at all was the bombing of the Azovstal plant in Mariupol." - at the beginning of the war they flew and bombed. So far, thanks to our friends, portable air defense systems have not appeared. Plus, the Ukrainian Air Force was activated (according to your propaganda, completely destroyed 5 times already ). It's just that Russia, as always, got scared to fight against those who can resist, this is a historical fact. Or can you name at least 1 war where Russia fought against an enemy of comparable strength? Surprise with an example!

Future wars will be food wars and water wars this is just a start. There is a need to recognize and work on sustainable development and there is a need that we start growing our food on our terraces and indoors as well. To feed the increasing population of the world we need to innovate and make world a better place.
