Te world only has 10 weeks worth of grain left, the lowest levels ever seen, as Russia's invasion of Ukraine is creating a "seismic" threat to global food supplies, Gro Intelligence CEO Sara Menker told the United Nations Security Council.
"[T]he Russia-Ukraine war did not start the food security crisis. It simply added fuel to a fire that was long burning. A crisis we detected tremors from long before the COVID 19 pandemic exposed the fragility of our supply chains," Menker told the United Nations. Her software company, Gro Intelligence, uses human and artificial intelligence to predict food security and climate change.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky gave a similar warning on Saturday. His country accounts for nearly 10% of the world's corn supply and together, Russia and Ukraine provide up to 30% of the global grain supply.
"Russia has blocked almost all ports and all, so to speak, maritime opportunities to export food – our grain, barley, sunflower and more. A lot of things," Zelensky said, according to Fox News.
"Now it will create a food crisis if we do not unblock the routes for Ukraine, do not help the countries of Africa, Europe, Asia, which need these food products," he added.
Menker told the UN, "It is important to note that the lowest grain inventory levels the world has ever seen are now occurring while access to fertilizers is highly constrained, and drought in wheat growing regions around the world is the most extreme it’s been in over 20 years."
She predicted that if action is not taken to ensure global food security, the consequences can be dire for the hundreds of millions of people who live on less than $3.60 a day.

Actually, the shelves are going to be full soon here shortly.
All the goods that were waiting on ships earlier this year are finally hitting shelves in the next few weeks.
After that, ...? There is very little in the pipeline. This is going to hit very abruptly for many people.
Yesterday I went to order more cat food, dry cat food. It is out of stock. Went to order for a client who has fallen and broken her hip. Her cat’s food, dry cat food was out of stock. In fact, it is out of stock everywhere at this time.
I had to stop at a tractor supply store for a few other items. Simple hand-crank plumbing auger...out of stock and no timeline for arrival. Flipside, they had both dry cat foods.
Reports I have heard now, this is the third time I heard the 10-week timeline. Reality is it will start to become even more evident much sooner.
SHTF is coming.
Then it’s coming.
Count on it.
Their predictions are no based on fantastic prescience, but rather what they have in the works at the moment.
“...the consequences can be dire for the hundreds of millions of people who live on less than $3.60 a day.”
Democrats: Look at all the VOTERS we’re missing out on! Let ‘em in!
Us: Yep. Sure. Everything’s FREE! FREE! FREE!
*SPIT*
I’m sure Biden is on top of this!
And Democrats are always saying that Republicans want to go back to the past!
I’m just wondering when ‘Peace and Security’ restarts...
1 Thessalonians 5:3
Revised Standard Version
3 When people say, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them as travail comes upon a woman with child, and there will be no escape.

I always pay a lot attention to what the UN says.

Oh please. I specifically discounted the specific claims of the article. 10 weeks is about the time the transition from last years food supply to this years becomes prominent. That’s where that time-frame comes from.
If there is famine, most likely we will be outbidding the rest of the world for any excess. That said, there’s a lot less planting this year than last.
It's going to be a brutal winter this year with the increased cost of natural gas, gasoline/diesel, and electric utilities.
As I understand it, the fuels from the National Strategic Oil Reserve are being sent to Europe to help them cope from the Russian fuel termination;
not being used here in the USA, domestically.
Same with the infant formula supply that was hoarded up by the Fed.
Illegals have more privileges and rights than do the native citizenry.

It’s beyond infuriating.
It's planned governmental incompetence !
“If those Soviet ships are blockading grain export from Ukraine, time to nuke them”.
You’re brilliant.
If you’re growing heirloom/open-pollinated vegetables, you can produce your own seeds for next year.
If you’re not growing that type of veggies, go buy some now and stick them in your freezer for next year.
“ You’re brilliant”
Well thank you. But just so we are clear, the “nuke them” was hyperbole for sinking their ships.. as in “nuke their ships”. Not nuke their nation literally. We will save nuking their nation (literally) for when they nuke us (literally).
Fall-planted grain in the northern hemisphere will be harvested before those 10 weeks are up. That should extend the deadline, although it’s hard to tell by how much. A lot of things have been happening in grain-producing areas that will decrease the amount harvested.
The grain I planted last fall hasn’t started forming heads yet.
