I know most of you think it cannot happen here but it is coming, here, to America. Even if you do not believe me, would it hurt to pick up a little, or a lot, of extra food?

Hurts nothing and saves the pocketbook in the long run as prices continue to rise.

There will be issues with grain since Russia invaded Ukraine.
Fertilizer costs are high due to Ruusia’s invasion of Ukraine.
There are still going to be supply chain issues.
Climate change is a factor.
I do think there will be some food shortages but what I was disagreeing with was the thread Norin posted that our government purposefully is causing them.
I also fear people can’t afford to buy extra food. So many people are struggling with inflation and high gas prices already.
Just praying right now the baby formula issue gets solved. This kind of thing happens when only a few companies control the product (like baby formula and meat).
We need more corporate competition and less price gouging.
And while I realize we have a global economy I do feel the United States relies too much on imports.

grandmother, if you're a gardener, save your good seeds. Large co.'s starting to use CRISPR to insert genes in all seeds. I don't know all the ins&outs yet, but not the same food. Monsanto is a biggie.

And organic, non GMO definitely the way to go if you can.
Sometimes hard to do if you don’t garden or don’t have enough money to purchase organic.
Manname and her husband grow so much of their own food—vegetables, fruits, and they have chickens, Guinea fowl, goats etc. She is a great resource for Lymenet members who are interested.
