How Much Food Should You Store, Continued
The Agricultural Revolution was probably a continuation of beer ( thanks again, you sexy beast John Wilder ), necessitated by climate change. And it very quickly turned into a military technology. Suddenly it was all, go big or go home. Since that time demographics was destiny. The womb was militarized. You hump like rabbits to overwhelm your foes or they did it better, to you. There was no getting off that treadmill, if you were hooked into the global centralized agricultural empire model ( mountain folk exempted ).
*
The price you paid was environmental degradation. Again, this was guaranteed. And that is why empires kept moving around. The denuded areas needed to recover before they could return to rule, after being newly subjugated. IF they were lucky. If unlucky, you were Mussolini unable to recover the glory that was Rome, seventeen or so centuries later, unable to colonize Africa. How embarrassing. Or, you were Greece, even longer since empire, a sad meat sack violated by Goldman Saks economically, your lands only suitable for sunbathing fat northern Europeans. Colonization was nothing more than empire overseas rather than next door, largely the spoils of improved metal working to accompany gunpowder.
*
Empires turned to carbon fuels to expand their reach and control, the British getting a quarter of the globe and the US about half, because of coal and oil respectively, but in the end it is still about agriculture. The fuels merely replaced workers with machines, far more efficiently. Then they became artificial fertilizer. The surplus mostly went to luxury and decadence, and to allowing the entire globe-not just the victors-to overpopulate. What could go wrong?
*
The problem with agriculture today is NOT Gore Warming. It is population overwhelming the food supply. A few greedy humpers are enriching themselves by feeding the enemy breeding machines, as Roman elites imported barbarians for profit until realizing too late these bastards wanted what you had, and they could take it. The rich today think Christian abortions ( a sorrier site I've never seen than celebrating Grrl Power advocates after Ireland allowed abortions ) and subsidized Muzzy births won't bite them on the ass. What a bunch of humping idiots, studying economics and math to better work for Red Shield, rather than history.
*
And a HUGE profitable industry was dismantling the ten thousand year old Agricultural infrastructure. All that dirt cheap suburban farmland, driven down in price from the robots taking over the industry ( plus, from centralization, railroads, etc ), turned from farmland to factory workers homes ( then, the factories left after doing their damage. Our elites are as violent and deadly as kings of old, just once removed from the action ). This, and that model applied to Turd World countries ( no private land to farm, live in the cities as we mechanize commodities ), effectively ruined agriculture as we ever knew it.
*
Now, centralizing farming isn't TERRIBLE, in and of itself. Rome was dependent on Egyptian wheat, especially after drought conditions finished off marginal European farms ( denuded by population pressures ). The problem is when the transportation breaks down. And that was usually the case of JUST the empire at present. It didn't effect the entire globe, as they stuck with the suburban farms surrounding the urban area model.
*
( The Inca's had a large transportation network. They saw themselves through local declines with a diverse potato crop program, different varieties suitable to different elevations and locations. One weather event or blight in one area was supported by another. In their case, transportation was a force multiplier rather than a vulnerability. They had a peasant supported road network, more for food than war. They didn't run out of road maintenance workers when slaves numbers fell through lack of conquest. Pretty smart dudes, but smallpox doesn't much care about smart )
*
Over half the globe lives in cities. A LOT of rural folks are just machine supervisors on farms. The farms no longer there to supply cities are dependent on the cities themselves. The entire ten thousand years of centralized farming has no more infrastructure besides oil dependence. We dismantled the traditional arrangement for short term profit. When children became too expensive because 90% of the population could no longer feed their kids for free ( without money ), we became even MORE dependent on oil.
*
All those nasty twats campaigning in the early twentieth century to “liberate” women through the abolition of child birth did exactly one thing. They stuck a knife in the back of western civilization underpinned by Christianity ( the Papist whores aided and abided ). In essence they handed the mantle over to Muzzies and other groups unencumbered by progressiveness. As the oil goes, so goes most of the globes agriculture, hamstrung by the lack of transportation. Does it seem odd that most likely the Reverse Reconquest of Europe will be successful?
*
Do you think that perhaps some primitive tribal group won't start farming, on a low tech basis? If you think White Hippies will do it, perhaps you forget that most Muzzies are already experienced warriors. And far from pampered and spoiled. But be that as it may, the globe will die-off, for the most part, as oil supplies fall too far to sustain the infrastructure supporting the current food paradigm. Got wheat? I assure you, you will need a LOT more than one years worth.
*
You must get through multiple years of die-off, which comes AFTER economic collapse necessitating using some of those food stores, then many years of warfare setting in place new governments, not to mention normal weather related crop declines AND a learning curve being a full time food producer. If you cannot see the value of industrial agricultural mass oil age produced grains, stocked deep so as to offer a five to ten year stockpile, you are already on the Darwin Award list. You have already failed Malthusian Economics 101. You are a zombie, dead minion walking.
*
Start with a minimum of three years of food ( if it is JUST wheat for now, better than nothing, baseline of calories secured. Improve later. Calories FIRST ). Five years shortly after that. That should be your minimum, NOT just one year. You are welcome.

  1. Merry Christmas back at ya Jim. Hope all is hunky dory with you and yours.

    I would just like a few more reasons why someone would like to have that deep, deep larder.

    When a die off develops, people are going to scrounge for anything that resembles a grocery store item. Tomatoes and watermelons aren't going to stand a chance. Root crops like beets, carrots and potatoes might, if not grown in rows, but scattered in plots. Either way, tending crops will you a target, so skipping that year probably would be prudent. At best, you will just chop and drop whatever is growing there to give you better fire lanes and to improve fertility for the following year.

    Insect populations will explode after the common use of pesticides stop. This will also be a good reason to skip the first year and maybe the second, until that stabilizes.

    You mentioned the learning curve, but soil conditioning is a factor too. Even if you strictly permaculture, it takes time for the adjustments to work, figure 3 to 5 years.

    1. Thank you for expanding. I hadn't quite thought in those details. Good addition.

    2. Excellent reasoning Wrenchr2 - I'm trying to grow food. It's been, how shall we say? It's been a steep learning curve. So far it's been unproductive. I suspect my soil has a lot to do with it and it's an area I'm working on. Chop and drop is very sound strategy for the future.

      My soil fertility is coming on with compost, worm farm and bokashi. I get veggies for my compost from the fruit and veg shop. I could get a lot but I'm lazy (efficient? I don't go out of my way to source it)

    3. It's not lazy, but calorie conservation

  2. "They stuck a knife in the back of western civilization underpinned by Christianity ( the Papist whores aided and abided)." I am confused. I don't think that I am carrying water for the Catholic Church here, but the church's official position is against birth control--and it is widely ignored around the globe. If Catholics didn't engage in birth control, there would be a helluva lot more Christians around the globe. Would the Irish rule the world?

    1. Well, the churches official position is that their priests are not molesters. But I hear what you are saying. No, they aid and abet by pushing for cultural changes, in PC form. Working , independent women, muzzy immigration, unlimited Latino immigration, etc.

  3. I was reading the other day that Norway, the country that nearly starved to death under German occupation in the Second World War, built huge grain silo's to ensure they'd fare better if ever confronted with interruption to food supplies. Well the article said that they sold the grain and turned them into student accommodation.

    Maybe students are on the menu?

    1. And the students are probably dark meat. Just saying. Some relief agencies stopped stockpiling grain, and just put money aside as their "reserves". It will bite everyone on the ass, soon

  4. Opening three paragraphs should be required to be understood in every high school. Perfection.
