While Mike Adams is often guilty of looking at things as a worst case scenario, there is no doubt that food is likely to be more of an issue going forward. Preparing for the worst, and hoping for the best is just the way I have always thought about life in general.
I’ve monitored reports for the last couple of years, and due to cooler weather than usual, there were shortages in Europe during the winters.
China in particular, has been hard hit by floods, locusts, and disease, and other places in the world, are already having problems. High demand and increasing prices are a reality for the USA.
In general, since 2008, every trip to the store, we buy one can to use and one for the storage. When meat is on sale, we buy 10-20 lbs, and can it. Also buy extra beans and rice every month. Hoping we have enough to take care of extended family, and maybe an elderly neighbor or two.
We also have food hiding in plain sight. All sorts of native plants that are nutritious and edible. Some people think of Dandelion for example as a weed-no the leaves, flowers, and roots are edible and quite nutritious, and it’s one of the first plants available in the spring. And we never have put any pesticides or herbicides on our lawn.

We leave the Dandelions alone, too. I should show you my house yard lawn - NOTHING but Dandelion fluff right now. It’s a real thrill to mow these days. (Gag! Choke!)
However, if they show up in a garden bed, they get yanked! :)
People will starve to death with food in front of their noses.
I’ve been watching frugal sites and one very popular site has a couple frying chicken and tossing the excess flour into the trash. People, do NOT throw out anything that can possibly be used, reused, recycled, re-whatever. That flour can go in the freezer for the next time you’re frying chicken. Or mix it with the egg batter and make savory pancakes or corn fritters.
