Start Stocking Up

Food Crisis may lead to more insurrection[^] I have been say this for ages, and it could be soon that a few more countries have their citizens get 'uppity' about the price of food. As the article states, one bad harvest could be the trigger.

If you just make sure that you're embonpoint enough, then surely you don't need to stock up? ;)

"Countries that depend upon food imports and whose people spend one-third or more of their income on food are most vulnerable to increased global food prices, according to an analysis by Japanese investment firm Nomura. In its top 10 are Egypt, Algeria and Morocco, but also Hong Kong, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Tunisia, Romania and Ukraine are in the top 20. "High food prices… [are] a potential source of protests, riots and political tension," Nomura warns." Hong Kong? Ok, the analyst has no idea what he/she is talking about ... :)
Wouldn't worry too much about Romania or Ukraine, afaik (well, I know for sure about RO but not entirely certain about Ukraine) there are millions of acres of high quality land that grow weeds for now or need irrigation systems rebuilt - yes, they've bloody stolen all the pipes. If push comes to shove I'm quite certain it will become profitable to use all that land.

I've been saying this all along, we carry on polluting more, draining more resources, less water, less food = WWIII.

It's like a balloon it can only be stretched so far before it pops.

They're pretty close: "They say that every society is only three meals away from revolution. Deprive a culture of food for three meals, and you'll have an anarchy. And it's true, isn't it? You haven't eaten for a couple of days, and you've turned into a barbarian!" (Atcherley, I think it was Trotsky who said it originally, but he wasn't so much fun.)

The old analogy "Only the strong survive" comes to mind.

I was thinking the same. The both countries have too little population for their natural resources and in fact their major exports are food. So this analysis is not to be taken seriously.

The whole thing is a complete joke. Egypt is the main food producer in the Middle East, Romania and Ukraine are among the biggest food producers in Europe and Hong Kong is not a country.

The bad harvest in Russia was the cause of bread prices increasing so we are already probably looking at worst case scenario here so dont expect too much more.
