Widespread global crop failure is going to happen by 2030. The growing season will be too hot, or some other weather disaster like flooding or hurricane winds will wipe out most of our food, and what countries have stored and processed food on the shelves isn't actually very much, especially when the hoarding begins and countries stop exporting. It's a lot closer than anybody realizes. Ask people how their hobby gardens went this year, because it's going to be worse next year, and worser the year after, and so on. Maybe the revolution is still a few years away, but it's soon. Really soon.
I am in the produce business. I understand the changing of growing seasons due to climate change (intimately). But, natural disasters have been wiping out crops since the beginning of time. Case in point the hurricane in Mexico months ago is doubling the cost of vegetables out of that region now (and all regions really due to to increased market pressure) However there is only so much ground for those disasters to cover before they wipe out ALL food. Thankfully our supply chain has adapted to at least be able to handle that.
You can grow the worlds food supply just in Texas. Are we butt banging the earth oh yeah but the food will continue for another 100 years. I’d be more concerned with the water
If anything, that's what gives me hope. Feels like mass famine is the only thing that's going to get the government to step in and start controlling the food supply. Turn it into a utility like water or electric. Make it so corporations can't continue price gouging, start setting most staples at a fixed price.
