Are our farms and processing centers at full capacity?
I dont understand how we cant make sure we have more food in “the fall” if we know its coming.
Stop exports of food. Grow more shit.
Are we still paying farmers NOT to grow? If so, it should stop and we should tell them to grow more shit.
Doesnt this seem reasonable? Just pearl clutching is not going to get it done.

President
Biden warned Thursday that there could be global food shortages resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine and announced steps to prevent a potential crisis.
“We did talk about food shortages. And it’s going to be real. The price of these sanctions is not just imposed upon Russia, it’s imposed upon an awful lot of countries as well, including European countries and our country as well,”
Biden said at a press conference from Brussels, where he is meeting with NATO leaders.
Both Russia and Ukraine, for example, are providers of wheat,
Biden noted, though he pointed out that the U.S. and Canada are both major wheat producers, too.
The president announced his intention to redouble combined efforts with the European Union to increase global food security and provide direct food aid, where warranted, to prevent a crisis in a joint statement with European Union President Ursula von der Leyen on Thursday.
The president said NATO leaders talked about urging all the European countries and everyone else “to end trade restrictions on limitations on sending food abroad.”
The U.S. and its allies,
Biden said, are in the “process of working out” how to alleviate food shortage concerns amid rising inflation and lingering supply chain issues." - The Hill
