Still, most people would rather stand in line for their share of bug soup rather than start a garden.

They don't know what they're missing.

Forget about wheat unless you are addicted to bread and baked goods. Rice is very inexpensive and can be stored under beds, in closets in buckets or boxes. Dried beans and lentils added to the rice make a complete protein. Then get some dehydrated containers of vegetables. Then you will feel more in control of your future.

Africa relies on this wheat. They have little to no options sadly, and in no small part thanks to the likes of the IMF, UN, Gates, et al.

Africa has lots of land and people can grow food themselves.

Yes, our world is in dire straits. I doubt if any country will escape their mandates to control the necessities of life.

Just remember to stock up on LOTS of water, because all of the beans, rice, and survival food will need water to make it edible.

A year later someone just liked my comment.

Took me a while to recall the comment. Thought for a bit there that someone had stolen my identity.

LOL

Yeah, some of us REALLY don't have the option of "packing up and moving to the country" as much as we wish we could

do that, it is simply not possible.

Where I live was once extremely rural. There's been an influx of city dwellers over the last decade to the point my county is almost unrecognizable from what it was before. Those same city folks want shopping malls, restaurants, fast food, wider roads, and a host of other things that the original country folks were just fine without. So, if you ever get the option to move to the country, please make sure that you do not bring a city mindset with you. 5 acres should be the minimum required for a house in the areas that are still rural, to discourage housing with small yards and no way to be self sufficient.

Lucky you with a balcony.

Some might be mushrooms in the bathroom.

Humans shouldn't be eating seeds. We don't have a crop like birds...

What about cooked seeds Rick.

Lacto fermented seeds for three days lessons the lectin by 95%. this is the best food they can be, but still not good enough to live on.
