Is famine really a thing of the past—or are we closer than we think? History shows a clear pattern: war, inflation, supply chain disruption, and government intervention are often followed by famine. And today, all those warning signs are flashing at once. In this episode of the Survival and Basic Badass Podcast, we break down the real-world possibility of a modern famine—not as a movie plot, but as a slow-moving systems failure already unfolding around us. We cover: How high inflation can cause starvation long before shelves go empty Why wars and trade disputes disrupt food, fuel, and fertilizer worldwide The hidden risks of GMOs, monocropping, and fertilizer dependency How weather extremes, insects, and crop disease can collapse fragile food systems Why government “solutions” often make food shortages worse, not better Most importantly, we talk about how to prepare without panic. You’ll learn: Practical food storage strategies anyone can start today How to build protein and calorie security, even in small spaces Why skills, seeds, and community matter more than gadgets The mistakes people always make when food gets scarce—and how to avoid them Famine doesn’t arrive overnight. It creeps in quietly through rising prices, empty wallets, and broken supply chains. By the time most people react, it’s already too late. Preparation isn’t fear—it’s responsibility.
