I've read a few articles explaining that a food crisis is coming, I want to tell you something about it. There will be no food crisis for me.
Price of pasta, price of cooking oil, rice or meat will increase 20%? 30%?
That's all right. I don't care much. I can handle it, just like most people in developed countries. We don't spend much on food, increasing that budget by a third is perfectly fine.
The problem will be with the poor countries, but I wonder: is it a problem, or a solution?
There were 100 millions people living in Africa in 1900. Now, there are over 1,500 millions people there. I know that some people live a in a fantasy world thinking that there will be food, jobs, modern housing and all creature comforts for every human, but that won't happen. We live in a finite world, and the population just cannot grow without limit. Number one rule of the world has always been the survival of the fittest...
Once you heard the term crisis, it always creates a negative perception. So how can you say that there's nothing wrong about it? In fact, these food prices that are always rising every month, bring so much fears and pressures on us especially if we are only minimum wage earners. There's no way we can save anymore because the funds intended to save have already been added on the expenses for food. Not only the low class people have been affected on this but eventually the whole class in the society. So tell me, how could it be more beneficial for us?
Nothing really good came when crisis occur because for sure all of us will suffer from heavy inflation that will happen and it will cost a lot of us since basic needs prices will shoot up more higher than we expect and actually this is happening right now. So to counteract against this maybe a country should be self sustaining in agricultural products so for seeing this nearly coming maybe the government should find a solution and give priority to their agricultural sector and enhance the capability of their farmers to produce more product to sustain the needs of their country.
