I doubt this will be a problem in the west. Whoever can pay the most will get the food. It will be poor nations that suffer.

I think the problem in the west would be if the middle class majority loose their incomes and have no backup plans, yeah they will get some income support from the goobernment but it wont be much. The poor will be poorer and the rich 🤑 not much change for them I don't reckon.

So looking at the original source document...
Looks to me that they were already having problems of conflict, economics and weather and the added pressure of CV9 is going to push them into crisis. Of that, whilst the first world gives those regions excellent models to follow to make their countries thrive, they choose to do their own crappy ways. I don't see an issue with world wide food supply at all from the original source. Other than the outpouring expectation of humanity relief that's coming with bloated/thin children in the near future for the problems that they brought upon themselves [weather obviously not], there's no real concern.

Food shortages don't seem to be holding back population growth in africa. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projections_of_population_growthDecades of food and financial aid sent to them and all it has achieved is an even larger disaster the next time there is a problem. The current forecast has Nigeria's population exceeding the PRC's. Unlike the PRC, Nigeria is not a large country. Most of the world's most corrupt nations are in Africa. A booming poor population with endemic corruption is a disaster in the waiting. As usual the useful idiots will try to drag us into it when it occurs.

The Global Social / Political / Economic fallout will screw us up long before the actual food shortage causes our guts to ache! It is a bit of both, the economy collapses supply chain break down. Most food is now processed in mega factories. Job loss people not able to pay for food during the 1929 depression the farmers pored out milk on the ground as no one had cash to pay for it. This time the many natural disasters and framers also going broke - with riots etc.. is - the preverbal prefect storm is upon us.

Bob Geldof has a lot to answer for. Yup. Guilt people into giving a means in which populations can be increased without the underlying needed technology, education and more importantly culture. There's also a very unpalatable problem of average IQ, though I will leave it up to the reader to do their own research at the nightmare that is.

China is rich and can pay (wine, beef, barley, iron ore, coal), but the average peasant is poor. North Koreans at the top will not starve, but the peasants will.

Food banks are charities. Execs get paid. Drum up a crisis, get more funding.

I put in a food order with a supplier that I haven’t used for a few months and all of the prices have increased more than I would expect.

The manager of my local Woolworths said rice will be an issue, expect price hikes.
