Will the Current Credit Crisis Affect Our Food Supply?
Most farmers (including many small farmers) depend on credit to purchase their seeds, fuel, fertilizer, pest control, and to pay their workers. With US food reserves at an all time low (1), and the credit situation uncertain (2), it just might be time to take your families food security into your own hands. Food Security and Sustainability for the Times Ahead will help you do just that. Author, Harvest McCampbell, helps individuals, families, and small communities plan safe food storage, learn about gardening and wild foods, and develop balanced and sustainable diets. Information on highly nutritious foods which can be easily grown, as well as natural sustainable immune system boosters and medicinal herbs are also covered. Don’t wait until it is too late. Food Security and Sustainability for the Times Ahead will help you prepare for financial down-turns, climate change, peak oil, and more. 144 pages, ISBN 978-0-9818975-0-9, Bio Diverse Press http://www.BioDiversePress.com biodiversepress@ymail.com
(1) “The U.S. Has No Remaining Grain Reserves”
“ . . . the U.S. has nothing else in our emergency food pantry. There is no cheese, no butter, no dry milk powder, no grains or anything else left in reserve. The only thing left in the entire CCC inventory will be 2.7 million bushels of wheat which is about enough wheat to make 1⁄2 of a loaf of bread for each of the 300 million people in America.” Larry Matlack
The CCC is a federal government-owned and operated entity that was created to stabilize, support, and protect farm income and prices. CCC is also supposed to maintain balanced and adequate supplies of agricultural commodities and aids in their orderly distribution.
