World Food Program head warns of 'famines of biblical proportions' in 2021

According to a joint analysis by WFP and the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization in October, 20 countries “are likely to face potential spikes in high acute food insecurity” in the next three to six months, “and require urgent attention.”...

...“We’re very, very, very concerned” that with deferred debt payments for low- and middle-income countries resuming in January, new lockdowns, and the rippling economic impact, “2021’s going to be a very bad year.”

The WFP, recently awarded the Nobel Peace Peace Prize, says catastrophic famine was averted in 2020 thanks to timely intervention and money, but the outlook for 2021 is grimmer, with more people and nations on the brink. The WFP head identifies famine, starvation, destabilization, and migration as "icebergs" that threaten the global Titanic, so to speak.

With the world focused on COVID, the issue of starvation seems to be flying under the radar.

I've been saying this since the CV19 crap started.
Here in the UK, no one picking crops, Africa with locusts and all the Far East floods.
Atleast it taught a lot of people how to grow their own food whilst they had the time off.

We probably won't have these issues in the US. But I still think its a good year to plant a victory garden. You can use the seeds from some produce you buy at the market. But squash, melons and others cross pollinate. And some things are hybrid so you won't get a true product. It might be a good time to add seed packets to the stocking stuffer list for Christmas. Butternut squash keeps three months and is a great winter veg.

Around 7 billion people on planet earth... We exploit the land, the animals, we produce life prolonging medicine, health beneficial items.

Indeed. And the fat controllers are really scared the 7b and growing will leave no fat on the land and they will have to reduce their quaffing ways.

Word of advice, buy any and all seeds you can now, a lot of places are already selling out.
Also, people need to really learn where to get seeds from the first place, ie, organic non treated fruits & veggies! lol

Wait until biden/harris and aoc's green new deal gets passed. That'll kill off most of the farms here in the US.

I don't doubt we are generally short of food

on the other hand organizations like this warn of shortages every year. eventually it's hard to get people's attention.

worries me that one day we might really have issues and it will be too late to do anything.

that's why Yellowstone concerns me so much. that could singlehandedly bring about world famine.

gardens are a great idea, shortages or not.

Thousands Line Up For North Texas Food Bank's 'Largest Mobile Food Distribution Ever' Saturday

This is sad, but I am glad people are getting the food they need.
The US has plentiful food, no one here should EVER be hungry.

I've been growing heirlooms for awhile, I saved a lot of seeds this year, and stocked up on the cross pollinators. I had a hard time finding seeds. Farmers said to save seed this year. Huge shortage,

Bit hard to not take with a grain of salt, any claims or predictions made by anybody representing an organisation starting with 'world's these days..

That said, for the past 12 months I've had a burning desire to be as self sufficient as possible and get better at/ learn as many old skills as possible

lmfao.

those pesky 'internationalists' and their doom porn!

pay us pay us pay us!
we will save you all!

And people laughed at this man;

The virus well food will be ok except in country's were the Government only fight each other .

But all it would take is one volcano 1816 now .

Meanwhile, delivery services like UberEATs are raking in the profits.

The story goes both ways.

People, the US is the worlds bread basket.

Not only are we the largest donors of food aid, we produce tons of it.

So, when the UN says they will be shortages, it's really saying, the US needs to ramp up more food for our hungry bellies.

LOL sounds about right arnie .
yes The US throws enough food away every day to feed every last person again the one thing even this Government would have a hard time screwing up .

The realty is we don't even try hard .
the thing I love the most about being here .
Mien while many posters here say people should go hungry even when they work jobs .

shut everything down, brow beat people to stay inside try to close off transportation, what do they think will happen.

I expect some food issues, but doubt biblical proportions.

Even if this guy mean's well and he is talking about a looming crisis we know who is to blame, follow the money.

ANYTHING, I mean they will do ANYTHING to try to get us to kill off the world's population.

Who's world health authority is he working for the EARTH or an alien planet that want's us depopulated before they move in for the final kill having done most of there work for them.

Hydroponics, KILL Monsanto/Bayer and get rid of there nicotinoid crap that is killing pollinators etc, get back to heritage crops and ditch the chemical poison that is literally killing the ground AND the ecosystem making it so that only artificial fertilizer dependent genetically modified Frankenstein like crop's will then grow in it.

These people don't care about the human race, how long is it going to be before they realize humanity has wised up to them (sorry I don't mean this guy I am just blowing off steam as I have heard all this crap almost my entire life and I am 50 so?).


(and if Global warming continues there are a number of locations which with more healthy forms of fertilizer can become entire new breadbaskets each capable of feeding the world in it's entirety several times over, the Pampas of Argentina is a smaller one, southern Siberia is a much larger one and then of course if we just switch from cash crop's back to food crop's and add in modern farming techniques, polytunnel's and light's for all year round growth then we can feed the planet even with a population ten times what we have with just what we have now many times over, it is not about people it's about MONEY)
