I believe the Food Shortage has started along the entire chain from production, processing, and delivery to stores. Take a critical look at grocery store shelves. Do you notice "gaps" of open shelf space? Look behind the front row of products lining the shelves, are there more products behind that front row? By the end of a normal day, my local Walmart's freezer section is 1/3rd empty of products.
My mitigation efforts have been to:
Store more food of all kinds by always picking up 2 or 3 extra things when I go to the store.
I just cleared trees from my backyard, that would shade my planned garden area.
I keep vegetable seeds in the freezer until I need them. I add new seeds to the group each spring.
I am learning about and making plans now to build a chicken coop and a rabbit hutch in the backyard corners.
I will start planting 10-20 herbal plants in pots near the front and back doors. These will be herbs with food and medicinal uses.
I am now giving the trees in my front yard a critical look. I could have them removed and have more area for gardening. The front yard as a garden would incur some security risks although it might just end up as being the area reserved for helping my neighbors with their needs. This can of worms require a great deal of thought before implementing it!!
I am improving my bicycle stable carrying capacity so that it can be used more, if fuel supplies become tight in the future.
