The Strait of Hormuz Crisis Just Triggered a GLOBAL Food Shock
With talks between the US and Iran falling apart, there will be renewed focus this week on the Strait of Hormuz, getting it open and restoring traffic. Nearly all the focus so far as been on the energy part of the trade equation, the amount crude oil being able to transit the bottleneck. But there is another key set of commodities that are likewise being held back, and most people don’t realize just how big this is. Energy shock, yes, there is also a growing food shock.

I feal like big agg has forgotten what poop plants and wood is or right natural fertilizers that need to slowly brake down over 1 year minimum 7 months and tada black soil gold. But no they just pound the earth for everything it has tell theres nothing left but chemicals poison and zero nutrients left.
💩 💩 💩
It’s all because Iran wants nuclear weapons and ICBM’s to destroy the U.S. If Iran was a normal country, like Norway, there would be no war.
to be honest not the worst news on an individual level if you have family that has experience in agriculture or are farmers its relatively fine and im talking about sustainable farms not where you import masses of fertilizer for commercial sale though risk is based on individual environment and access.
Talks? Funny way to say PERFIDITY
I have a 75 gallon fresh water aquarium. I use the water to fertilize my plants, garden etc. I also have a large compost bin in my backyard that has been established for around 20 yrs. One may not be able to do much about Mass famine or the shortage of fertilizer for commercial growth but you can utilize many common household items to at least keep your Gardens fertilized. God bless ✝️💌🇨🇦
UREA is urine … best fertilizer comes out of every human being ALL THE TIME => no shortage of urine!!!
Weird. It's almost like that isn't a good way to grow food.
Personal and community permaculture. This isn't going to hit me or my neighbors like it's going to hit most of the world. Good luck out there folks.
You have another problem water mid west and west has very low at the dam and no snow on the mountains
The first step in actual food shortages, is increased prices. We already have that.
Use more manure 🙂
The markets are up, again. This doom and gloomer is always wrong. Nothing gets accomplished on this channel.
Inflationary.
Dont give the grocer's another reason to bum prices up
You're right, it's too late. People can't possibly figure out how to grow organically! 😅😂. Idiots, everywhere!
tooth
Time to cultivate gout and sell the urea crystals for a fortune
Anyone else remember the plandemic and fertilizer shit
… my tax refund was smaller than last year. Where are you getting these numbers..? almost 6-figure income, US.
Why doesnt everyone convert to organix farming so no one is dependant on oil in the future ? I underatsnd ita much more expensive… but we can just move subsidies from confential to oranic. Add subsidies, expand farm space, no chemicals
This story brought to you by chicken little
geez. i wonder who fertilizes all the forests around the world to make them grow? all the shrubs, weeds and grass? man give then a raise.
You’ll all be fine! A nation producing nothing but bullshit can’t have a shortage of fertilizer.
Send your bills to US and Israel.
World seem more interested in Gold than Food. 😅
this is all so contrived. worst story ever told
