Share what you have, and together we can endure. Help one another in need, have empathy and we all can survive a food shortage.

The idea that "you never know when you need help from someone" emphasises the unpredictability of life and the importance of mutual aid and kindness.

Today, global hunger and malnutrition are rising as a result of multiple overlapping crises—persistent conflicts, climate change, the COVID-19 pandemic, and surging food prices.

Surviving a food crisis demands proactive measures to secure access to food, implement responsible dietary changes, engage with community support networks, and maintain a positive mindset. By combining personal preparedness with collective action, individuals can significantly increase their resilie......View More

When there is a prolong shortage of food, people will be fighting for groceries (and toilet paper too). Those who are richer will leave the country. Those who can’t and couldn’t get sufficient food will be driven to desperation to steal, rob or even kill for food. The whole country will be in Chaos......View More
