They won't be famines. They'll be opportunities to disrupt the stagnant agricultural industry with a new pricing model that respects the value of a calorie in a free market.
hard to say, my guess is we'll see at the very least a significant increase in the price of meat considering how badly iowa's corn got hammered. otherwise I'm concerned primarily with more processing/distribution problems due to another covid spike later in fall and winter; that could affect a lot of foods pretty badly. Add any more crises and the food problem will get worse: a few militia blockades etc would throw the whole thing into absolute chaos
any politically cool organic/small-scale farms near you that could use free labor? making yourself a familiar friendly face among food producers is always a good idea, plus you can learn about agriculture
Honestly I have no idea. I live in the city and while I know there are farms around here, I think they're mostly big money farms as land is extremely expensive in central maryland.
That's not a bad idea though, as you might remember from the discord, I love the idea of farming but I know literally nothing about it, even growing house plants lol.
We are going to have famines aren't we

more shortages this year for sure and then worse next year, when shortages become famines is your call
What shortages do you think we will have? I don't know anything about agriculture.
