The Worldwide Food Crisis
By Graeme Dinnen
The worldwide food situation is becoming so grim that the UN recently held an emergency meeting to address its concerns that food riots will most certainly occur overthrowing many central authorities . The worlds grain supply has fallen to 72 days consumption an ominous situation that brings us perilously near to the 64 day mark that incited the worldwide food riots during 2007-2008.
Of the top 10 grain food suppliers in the world the following countries have experienced cataclysmic mess ups last year: China (flooding), India (flooding), Canada (drought), Russia (drought), Ukraine (drought), Australia (drought and locust plague) and Pakistan (floods). In Pakistans case the loss of crops was almost total due to unheard-of flooding. As a consequence Russia banned all grain exports. Right now in August 2012, the corn belt in the USA is suffering from severe drought.
Julian Cribb prize-winning Australian science author recently wrote "millions of people will shortly begin mass migrations looking for food and water." Look what happened in Libya last year in August 2011: NATOs 'liberating' forces destroyed a water pipeline in Libya denying drinking water to 4.5 million people. Agricultural crops that feed millions cannot be irrigated. As repair work was beginning on the pipeline NATO targeted and destroyed the factory that was carrying out this work.
The same is happening at the moment in Syria and Iran is next on the US 'must invade' list. This is the crop equivalent of financial collapse Watch the price of cereals, bread and other grain based foods rise. Look how many countries are demonstrating against corrupt states around the world yet there's absolutely no media coverage of these events.
And then of course there's the imposition of Martial Law. Under Martial Law everybody loses their rights. This one we need to be prepared for. And its when not if.
Life begins at the end of your comfort zone
To better prepare yourself mentally look at the rest of the Survival Instincts that covers bushcraft, camping, first aid, food and water storage, power & fuel and most importantly personal protection and self defence
