Ukraine war could lead to global food shortage, escalate prices

A prolonged war in Ukraine could impact the production of grains and reduce food supplies in Europe, Africa and Asia.
Russia has decalred that it would suspend grain exports to neighbouring ex-Soviet countries until the end of August to further strengthen its food security. Heatwave has already destroyed one-third of the country's wheat and other grains in the country.

Russian wheat exports have fallen by 45 percent since the start of the current July-June season due to smaller crop and grain export taxes and export quotas from 2021 to curb food inflation in Russia.
Russia and Ukraine combine for nearly a third of the world’s wheat and barley exports. Egypt and Turkey are heavily dependeent on wheat from Russia.

“Global food supply is decreasing”

Note that they have the audacity to blame Putin and climate change. ( No mention of #GrandSolarMinimum ;) )

How grows your garden?



The end of the shortages, price hikes, and low supply problems at grocery stores and supermarket chains may not be gone anytime soon, as the global food supply is still suffering. In fact, experts are saying that these issues may not go away… for years.

The world's food industry was seeing problems arise two years ago, even before the pandemic, thanks to climate issues. Fast-forward to now, and issues like inflation and politics are only wreaking more havoc on an already shaky operation.

Massive fire engulfs Walmart distribution center near Indianapolis

Yesterday it was a giant fire in the largest warehouse for the largest grocery store chain in Taiwan. The spontaneous combustion of our food supply / supply chain continues at breakneck speed.

CBS 4 in Indianapolis reported the smoke was so thick it was being picked up on weather radar.

There was no word on if there were any injuries or what may have caused the fire to start at the facility located at 9590 Allpoints Parkway.

Record Amounts Of Illegal Meat From China Seized At Los Angeles Ports

U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CPB) officials are seizing record amounts of illegal meat products from China at the Los Angeles and Long Beach ports.

According to the USDA, China is known to have cases of African Swine Fever, Classical Swine Fever, Foot and Mouth Disease, bird flu, and other virulent diseases.

When illegally shipped meat is intercepted, Customs and Border Patrol either destroys it or sends it back to China, according to the agency.

Agents at the ports found most of the illegal animal products stored with boxes of e-commerce shipments and household goods in what they say was a clear attempt to smuggle the meat.

FDA approves GMO cattle for food

The slippery slope is being explored, opening the gates to all sorts of unGodly adulteration of our food supply and, ultimately, bioengineered lab meat.

“The FDA has ruled that meat from CRISPR bioengineered cattle to have shorter hair — known as a slick coat - is “low risk” enough to feed Americans.

No Eggs in Germany by summer - “Sheer existential fear" among farmers

Soy shortages are bringing about the WEF’s “post-animal economy”


From summer 2022, the supply of eggs can no longer be guaranteed, writes the Central Association of the German Poultry Industry.

There is sometimes sheer existential fear among our farmers. The prices for animal feed have more than doubled in a very short time. GMO-free soy is hard to come by. As a result, many keepers are no longer able to re-stall,” Henner Schönecke, Chairman of the BVEi, describes the situation.

No more restocking means fewer laying hens are available to lay eggs. Schönecke expects that the security of supply with German eggs can no longer be guaranteed by August at the latest.

400,000 farmers and folks from the Spanish countryside have come to say ‘Enough of the government pimping us and putting the food and work of many people at risk,’”

https://www.rt.com/news/552373-protest-soaring-prices-spain/
Let’s be clear: the letter posted above from German poultry association states in no uncertain terms: our supply of animal feed has run out, so our egg supply runs out within 12-15 weeks.

But it’s not just poultry. It is not an isolated crisis, but an exemplar of the full collapse of modern agriculture, now in its final moments.

Greenhouses sit empty, unheated, because the price of natural gas is too high.

Fertilizer is not being produced.

Ranchers are not breeding animals — and are already culling — because there is no feed.

Countries have cut off the exports, and there is not enough wheat to go around for importers.

Grow/store everything you can.

And be ready with seeds and ANSWERS as people are going to be waking up in droves and looking for answers, “How could our gov lie to us?”

We all must do an honest assessment of how we became so dependent on such deeply toxic, self-destructive systems/practices/behaviors, and resolve to better discern and divorce ourselves from them for the rest of time… Or else we will simply fail forward into the clutches of the technocrats.

No Fear - it keeps us from imagining & creating the new, decentralized future. Let’s make it a better one. This is the make it or break it moment.

Agriculture Ministers of the European Union (EU) are discussing on Monday measures to address the consequences of the war in Ukraine on the agri-food sector and the “fears” that it could trigger a “global food crisis”.

“One of the strongest fears is that this tragedy on Ukrainian soil will be added to a global food crisis in countries that do not have the capacity to cope with the consequences of the war in Ukraine in terms of access to wheat, fertilizers or animal feed,” the French Minister of Agriculture and Food, Julien Denormandie

“The European Commission is expected to present on Monday some of the measures to support the EU primary sector that it has been preparing, in particular aid for the private storage of pork, the use of the crisis reserve or the possibility of growing crops on fallow land

WEF is warning about food shortages — front running the food crisis with propaganda, insisting more government and “sustainable diets” are the solution:

“calling for an immediate government intervention to the market is therefore the natural thing to do.”

Macron speaks to plans to massively expand “food stamps” — just as the Rockefeller “Reset the Table” plan described:

PARIS, March 22 (Reuters) - French President Emmanuel Macron, currently campaigning for re-election, on Tuesday said he was considering giving special cheques to poor households to compensate for increased food prices following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Anonymous “Cyberattacks” Nestlé, world’s biggest food company, leaking 10GB of internal data including emails, account passwords, and client data in “retaliation” for the Swiss company’s continuing limited operations in Russia.

Nevermind 'anonymous' this is a message from the WEF technocrats to big companies: “if you don't play by our rules, we will roast you.”

The hack comes a few days after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called out Nestle for its continued relationship with Russia.

"'Good food. Good life.' This is the slogan of Nestlé. Your company that refuses to leave Russia," Zelensky said Saturday. "Even now — when there are threats from Russia to other European countries. Not only to us. When there is even nuclear blackmail from Russia."

Nestle later defended its decision not to pull out of Russia, noting that it made sweeping changes since President Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine.

"We have significantly scaled back out activities in Russia: we have stopped all imports and exports from Russia, except for essential products," a spokesperson said in a statement to CNN.

In this special Ice Age Farmer broadcast, Christian is joined by Dr. Frédéric Leroy, a professor in the field of food science & biotechnology at Vrije Universiteit, to detail what can only be described as an attempted hostile takeover of all human food production. Dr. Leroy outlines with studied precision the UN Food Systems Summit: the agenda to end traditional farming and ranching, the players involved (and the revolving door between big multinational food companies, think tanks/foundations, and policymakers), the movement’s genesis in new age “Gaia” worship, and much, much more.

CHICKEN CRISIS: The cost of chicken could rise by up to 30 per cent. The UK environment secretary warned as he said that more expensive food was “inevitable” after the invasion of Ukraine.

George Eustice said that the government was considering delaying new regulation in areas such as obesity, climate change and environmental protection to minimise increases in shopping bills over the next months.

Wakey wakey — It’s not just coffee.

Mega Emergency" Unfolds For World's Top Coffee Growers As Fertilizer Costs Spike 

Coffee farmers worldwide are feeling the pressure of sanctions, as the Russian invasion of Ukraine sent fertilizer prices soaring, prompting concerns of declining harvests this year.

Coffee farmers in Brazil, Nicaragua, Guatemala, and Costa Rica, some of the largest coffee-producing countries in the world, are having trouble affording high fertilizer costs. Some farmers are substituting organic waste as a low-cost solution to nitrogen, phosphorous, and potash fertilizers. The move, however, will result in significantly reduced harvests of the bean.
