global fertilizer shortage - upcoming global hunger/starvation???!!!
what to do - join the PREPPERS?
From here: (h/t ZeroHedge)
“Nobody is going to be able to save the spring planting season in the northern hemisphere now, and that is really bad news because according to the UN the number of people in the world experiencing acute hunger was already at an all-time high even before the war began.
A historic global food crisis has been escalating for years, and now farmers all over the northern hemisphere either can’t get the nitrogen fertilizer that they desperately need or they are paying much more for it.
As a result, global food prices will start rising dramatically once harvest season rolls around, and in many impoverished nations there simply won’t be enough food for everyone.”
“Spring fertilizer application in the Northern Hemisphere runs through June. Parts of Africa are entering the primary planting season now — a critical window for the continent’s most food-insecure populations. A missed window doesn’t delay a harvest — it eliminates it. The shortfall will be invisible until it materializes in spiking prices and empty shelves next fall.”
I wonder if this vindicates all ‘preppers’ and self sufficiency proponents?

I've been an avid gardener for 40 yrs and have never used fertilizer. We don't need fertilizer, which was introduced in 1900s, it is made up of chemicals. Before then, for thousands of years, farmers used natural substances for their crops and it worked just fine. For more info see this article:
