U.S. Food Supply
Analysis of the State of Global and North American Food Production, Supply, Farming, and Trade
This Page is Very Rough and Still In Development
Significant increased food costs of well over 25% in the United States and an ever increasing world food supply crisis has pushed many Americans into 'survival mode' - making major sacrifices just to keep food on the table.
THREAT LEVEL:
MEDIUM
HIGHER COST DUE TO INFLATION, LOWER U.S. & WORLD-WIDE PRODUCTION
The international food supply has affected less wealthy and less food-independent countries much more that the United States - yet it has already impacted parts of Europe. The world food supply remains extremely stressed and on the edge of a serious global crisis due to issues like the war in Ukraine (a major food exporter), regional weather issues, and the shock the global food crisis causing some major food producing countries to ban exports in order to maintain domestic stability.
The U.S. is not expected to be hit as hard as other parts of the world, due to our wealth, blessed geography, variety of U.S. grown food, and historic trading status (most of the world trades with the U.S.).
Farms in in the United States remain at a critical stress levels due to significant jumps in production costs, not having enough fertilizer and diesel fuel to maintain past levels of production. Family farming has continued to become more extinct in favor of large corporate farms, reducing overall food quality.
IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to start a home garden to learn and practice self-sufficient methods of growing your own food. U.S. History from the Great Depression Era and World War 2, shows us the U.S. Government promoted this ideal to help families survive and that it was every home's patriotic duty - this included vegetable gardening and raising chickens. Fishing and hunting skills are also highly encouraged. Practice and learn now by doing and gaining personal experience will provide the best education, knowledge, and skills in an extremely stressed war-time crisis economy. Love yourself and love your family - be prepared.
