Is a Food Crisis coming ? (Top up your emergency long term food storage in 2020)

One thing I notice as I do my shopping is the large amount of produce which is imported from other countries. This has become part of everyday life now, as we routinely import food from overseas, either because it can’t be produced in this country, or because the growing season in this country has passed.

If you have been keeping an eye on the news or if you have seen some of my previous videos, you will know that in 2019, we have seen some major weather disasters across the world, which have had a serious impact on the food producing regions of the world and we have also seen an increase in damage to the animal livestock food supply chain due to diseases.

While the global food supply chain is usually quite resilient, the combined events of this year do give cause for concern. If crop yields in countries which usually export large volumes of food are low, then the tendency in those countries will be to reduce exports to ensure their own domestic food security. Clearly, this has implications for countries who are new importers of food.

It would seem therefore that 2020 could see some significant problems globally for food pricing and food availability. It therefore makes more sense than ever to ensure that you have some form of long term food storage set aside so that you can be resilient if these problems do arise in 2020
