[QUOTE="JockCroft, post: 8149540, member: 166068"] Is there really going to be a shortage of food? In the UK at least when prices rise significantly, consumer will buy less quantity and waste less. May not have what they want, when they want it , but genuine hunger of the masses. Surely not. Unless our national distribution is seriously disrupted by shipping rail and road strikes. Now that could be the trigger point. Continental Europe , North America and probably over half the worlds population are in area's where there is food self sufficiency. The problems for what some would call less developed regions is how can they afford to pay for imports. If they don't have adequate food then it is likely that many will try to travel to areas where there is food. Hunger is a powerful driver. Masses could travel quickly across a country taking what they want. they could be much more difficult adversary's than Putins Army. Scarcity will be controlled by the Laws of supply and demand. I personally wont be increasing expensive inputs or production. It would be very easy to be like many industries at present and be selling produce at less than cost of production. Interesting couple of years to come. [/QUOTE]
