Merchant ships hit by missiles; Grain/fert exports STOP in Ukraine/Russia

Ukraine & Russia grains--30% of world global exports--are no longer moving as three merchant ships have been hit by missiles in the Black Sea, including one chartered by Cargill to move grains. Brazil is frantic after fertilizer imports from Russia are threatened. The global food trade is coming to a screeching halt and food prices are exploding even further as the conflict escalates. Christian breaks down the developments from just the last 48 hours in this Ice Age Farmer special report.

Moldova bans export of grains to ensure domestic supply.

The global food crisis is escalating quickly. This is the nation state equivalent of “grab what you can now” — of course China has been doing that for years now.

FOOD CRISIS: EU expects shortages, S. Korea feed producers to declare Force Majeur

The food crisis is here. The EU's agricultural ministers held an emergency meeting, and are set to activate a "EU Food Crisis Contingency Mechanism" in anticipation of the shortages resulting from the blocked 40% of global wheat exports that are no longer flowing from Ukraine/Russia. S. Korea's animal feed producers are preparing to declare force majeur, unable to produce feed wiithout the 300,000 metric tons they'd expected from Ukraine now stuck in the Black Sea. Nations are banning exports to cling to what food stocks they DO have. Things are escalating quickly in the food crisis. Stay tuned to the Ice Age Farmer channel and START GROWING FOOD NOW.

“Fertilizer is the most peaceful weapon in wars!”

As I’ve covered, The EU’s Farm-to-Fork program demands farmers not farm all their land in order to continue receiving subsidies (required to be economically viable). The more they don’t cultivate the more money they get.

Germany‘s agriculture minister Cem Özdemir has just confirmed that the EU‘s reforms are to remain in force despite the fact that Ukraine/Russia’s grains, seeds and fertilizer have been cut off.

German farmers are outraged. You do not have to speak his language to feel this man’s passion or understand the urgency and insanity of the situation.

Some of his words translated:
“In the midst of such a catastrophe, green eco-fanaticism … is putting ecological madness before human lives!”

"Hunger is murder, Herr Özdemir!”

Food Rationing: Aldi has begun limiting purchases of cooking oil in German stores.

This follows palm oil and other oilseeds hitting record highs, and now the cut off from Ukraine’s sunflower oil.

How long until we hear policymakers/media calling for digital IDs to enforce the rationing? Nevermind the vx passport, now a food passport. Digital rationing.

Translated from link below:
“Aldi Süd even limited the sale of its own brand to four bottles per customer in response to the cooking oil shortages .”

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

BIDEN: “Food shortages - it’s going to be real,” Biden said at a news conference in Brussels. “The price of the sanctions is not just imposed upon Russia. It’s imposed upon an awful lot of countries as well, including European countries and our country as well.”

Now it is announced by POTUS. Some number of people may rush to the store — how will that affect product availability? How will retailers react?

This can only lead to rationing.

The next leg of the agenda is moving forward.

Plant those victory gardens.

Bread & circuses keep the masses asleep...and they are taking away the bread!

As Biden announces food shortages are coming -- prompting many to go stock up, and likely necessitating food rationing -- two massive attacks are being perpetrated against our food supply:

- a "bird flu" epidemic is sweeping Europe and the US, again fueled by PCR tests, forcing mass depopulation of poultry & "backyard flocks."

- farms contaminated with PFAS are being shut down as it is finally revealed that the "Biosludge" applied to farms (including organic!) was the equivalent of salting the Earth to destroy food production.

In this Ice Age Farmer broadcast, Christian breaks it down and explores what is going to happen next: a great awakening.

Biden pays farms to STOP Farming - EU out of Feed - Meat taxes & Chicken permits - Up to you to GROW FOOD!

Even as Biden and Trudeau announce food shortages, farmers are being paid to STOP farming. Chickens are now "illegal animals" in more municipalities, requiring a permit, "due to bird flu." The EU is culling livestock as they run out of animal feed, and the Netherlands is seriously considering a meat tax. -- And yet, there is a resurgence of regenerative agriculture and community victory gardens, as people realize it is UP TO US to feed our families going forward!

Hard Red Winter wheat is nearly half of the overall US wheat production.

Food producers, up the supply chain, are unable to get ingredients, and forced to change formulations (recipes) frequently:

Cheerios, Betty Crocker, and Pillsbury's Parent Company Is Changing Its Ingredients

Materials including starch, packaging, fats, and oils were the most challenging for General Mills to find, affecting the multinational brand's pizza, hot snacks, cereal, and refrigerated baked goods. Part of the issue is a global supply shortage resulting from the war in Ukraine, which has put additional strain on oils and starch. Those two ingredients are usually made of wheat—which is heavily exported by Russia and Ukraine. Both countries are halting sending resources out right now.

BREAKING: India mulls export limits on wheat.

We went from “India will step in to cover the Ukraine wheat” to new export limits in about a month.

This is huge. With other major exporters already limiting, Black Sea not shipping, US having worst wheat since ‘89, China worst on record - this really signals the “protectionist” policies (ie keep our food domestic!) will now spread everywhere. And importers are in real trouble.

How quickly India changed their tune as the world figures out there isn’t enough good to go around!

From “we can feed the world!” to banning wheat exports in a matter of weeks.

I’d warned things would escalate quickly but it’s still wild to see - and this is straight from the script of Podesta’s Food Chain Reaction Game…

Soaring bread prices spark protests and shop fires in Iran

Soaring bread prices have triggered protests in Iran in which some shops were set on fire, prompting police to arrest scores of "provocateurs"

The protests were triggered by a cut in government subsidies for imported wheat that caused price hikes as high as 300 percent for a variety of flour-based staples.

Iran’s official inflation rate is around 40%, and some estimate it is over 50%. Almost half Iran’s 82 million population are now below the poverty line.

The government plans to offer digital coupons in the next couple of months for limited amounts of bread at subsidised prices. The rest will be offered at market rates. Other food items will be added later.

UN Food Official Warns Fertilizer Affordability Crisis Could Slash Global Grain Production By 40%

Global fertilizer shortages threaten to starve a planet as prices are too high for some farmers ahead of the next planting season. 

That's the view of Maximo Torero, chief economist from the Food & Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations (UN), who told Bloomberg TV that elevated fertilizer prices could decrease global grain production by upwards of 40% in the next planting season.
