Even if the fig tree doesn't bloom and the grapes bear no fruit, lets continue to be happy with the Lord and bless the name of our Lord!
I guess it comes down to what person you want to believe. GOV says no food shortages. Another says its overblown. Just type in a year.. 2012 "Food shortages could force world into vegetarianism, warn scientists " "The world is closer to a food crisis than most people realise ..." on and on.
Now keeping most in some lock down.... I think food won't be our only problem.

Perhaps a toilet paper shortage too. Of course, if no one is eating anymore it may not even be needed.
Matthew 24:7
“For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.”
We don't know when but Bible say it will be famines

This guy does not look like the Lord to me.
Such foolishness......some people drink the kool-aid by the bucket.

You notice in that address by the Democrat of Georgia Congressman David Scott was cut off?
Here in America...
We won't actually face food shortages. We might face more food related supply chain issues...but not true shortages.
Many of the poorer countries?
You betcha!
These places will definitely feel the effect of limited supplies. Especially those who have food budgets that consume a major portion of their income.
Here in the USA an average household food budget is around 10-15% of their income. Other places that percentage can run 30%-60% because wages are low and food is commodity based prices.
Most in the modernized world live off of $9-12,000(US equivalent) each year. As the cost of groceries increases...people will go hungry. Usually they purchase lower cost food to begin with. Beans and rice are staples for most of the world for a reason. Meat is a "once a week " treat in most households.
As the cost of commodities increase (because of shrunken supplies) that usually starves out the poor.

And what happens if the US is hit with an EMP that knocks out the electric grid as well as any electric device not protected so that water pumps and pumps at the gas station no longer work as well as 90-95% of all vehicles?
