Food Shortages Coming Don't Despair.

We are told not to hoard. To save food and supplies for everyone and initially, that was the problem with shortages. However, that is no longer the case. Our supply chain is fragile resulting in a few desolate shelves in your local grocery store. This issue will only get worse. There are dairy farmers across the country having to dump an immense amount of milk. Vermont has gone as far as to restrict the sale of seeds at retailers like Wal-Mart. Maryland has done something very similar by not allowing the sale of gardening supplies. Don't think this cannot happen in your state. It is now happening in other NATIONS. Food prices are going to continue to rise and sooner than later seeds will become a rare commodity for "non-farmers." The UN also warns of food shortages around the world. Despite this grim outlook, do not despair. There is a way out.

My wife and I live in a condense neighborhood. A couple thousand square feet is the size of our yard. Due to its small size, one might conclude there isn't enough land to grow our own food; they would be mistaken. There are numerous fruits, vegetables, and herbs that can be grown inside. So, we have decided to utilize our home. For starters, we have planted Cilantro, Parsley, and Strawberries. The cilantro and Parsely have started to grow; we are still waiting on the strawberries:

Back right is Cilantro. The front right is parsley and the four left containers are strawberries
We have a few other fruits and veggies that will be planting shorty. Once the weather is nice enough, we'll begin to utilize our tiny yard as well. This is why I cannot stress it enough that we mustn't despair. God always provides us with a way out. Stop depending on governments and corporations that care very little, if at all, about you and your family. Start taking matters into your own hands.
