The world is facing a long list of troubles often isolated to specific regions. Still, one issue experts warn is just on the horizon is a global food shortage that is likely to threaten every country.

Farmers everywhere are already noting there is a shortage of fertilizers needed to keep crop yields at their highest levels to feed the nearly 8 billion people of the world.

Last year, for instance, U.S. Army Special Forces veteran and author Michael Yon told SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily that all of the 26 major plants in Europe that produce nitrogen-based fertilizers are either closed down or on the verge of closing.

I find it hard to believe this all is not fully intentional.

It has to be. WEF folks have admitted that if you make sure the peons are hungry you can control them a lot easier.

So half of the plants that make nitrogen-based fertilizers are closed and The Netherlands is taking farmers’ land because the cows produce too much nitrogen?

1. Intentional reduction of natural gas fracking and recovery (urea is made from ammonia made from natural gas)
2. Bird flu
3. Food processing plant fires and explosions
4. Animal and chicken feed causing problems
5. TPTB want the world eating insect protein

Way too many coincidences.

Urine is loaded with nitrogen. Is there a shortage of urine? During the Civil War Southern women saved their urine, and it was collected to make munitions.

Right.

I remember a Russian commenting to an American interviewer in the late 1990s about our supermarkets and food warehouses and trucking:
“In your country your government food distribution system is more efficient than ours.”

Before everyone freaks well into the weekend, it might be prudent to ask what is the fertilizer plant situation NOW, instead of last year. Europe looks like it will get through this winter without serious natural gas shortages, and, Euro gas prices have seen notable relief.

It appears to still be a problem that farmers are going to have to wrestle with as they make the decision whether to order fertilizer at the current high prices, and hope that their crops are sufficient to warrant the costs, or forego planting this season.

Natural gas is a key component in the production of nitrogen based fertilizer. Draw your own conclusions.
