When there’s a conflict happening, it’s not easy to just head down to your local farmer’s market or grocery store to get what you need. Often, those places are closed – or they’re empty because people have already panic-purchased for their own households.
We see it all the time throughout the globe.
Just look at what’s happening because of the conflict in Ukraine/Russia. In a comprehensive analysis of global food and fertilizer trade dependencies, it has been revealed that a significant number of countries are heavily reliant on imports from Russia and Ukraine, exposing them to potential supply disruptions amid geopolitical tensions. The study identified 156 countries and territories importing key food commodities from Ukraine and 123 from Russia, with Russia leading in export quantities except for maize and crude sunflower oil.
If war breaks out elsewhere in the world, we may not be able to obtain oil, industrial supplies to keep our farms going, and other necessities.
And if war hits the US itself, farms could be burned. Food manufacturing facilities could be destroyed. Countless crops could be tainted.
What happens then? How do you feed your family?
It’s why prepping makes sense, whether it’s with survival food kits , veggie farms in your backyard, or co-ops within your neighborhood.
