1. Catastrophic Fall in 2009 Global Food Production

( Great researched article. The Graphics load a bit slow but worth the wait )

http://www.marketskeptics.com/2009/02/2009-global-food-catastrophe.html

( These video links of drought from around the world will really give you a great world view. http://www.marketskeptics.com/2009/02/videos-of-droughts-around-world.html )

After reading about the droughts in two major agricultural countries, China and Argentina, I decided to research the extent other food producing nations were also experiencing droughts. This project ended up taking a lot longer than I thought. 2009 looks to be a humanitarian disaster around much of the world

To understand the depth of the food Catastrophe that faces the world this year, consider the graphic below depicting countries by USD value of their agricultural output, as of 2006.

Now, consider the same graphic with the countries experiencing droughts highlighted.

The countries that make up two thirds of the world’s agricultural output are experiencing drought conditions. Whether you watch a video of the drought in China, Australia, Africa, South America, or the US, the scene will be the same: misery, ruined crop, and dying cattle.

China

The drought in Northern China, the worst in 50 years, is worsening, and summer harvest is now threatened. The area of affected crops has expanded to 161 million mu (was 141 million last week), and 4.37 million people and 2.1 million livestock are facing drinking water shortage. The scarcity of rain in some parts of the north and central provinces is the worst in recorded history………..


"Ants prepare for the winter. Not out of fear, but because they know it's coming."


And,

"The more prepared for an emergency situation you are, the less fear (and pain) you will experience when it happens." - Paul G.

"I'd rather be ready one year too early, then be one day too late." - Howard Ruff

3. Best Investments?
Long Term Storage food. Why?

It keeps for years,

Will appreciate in value as prices go up and

If all else fails, you can eat it!

Can't eat Gold or Silver

And that's why we at The Survival Center have been stocking up on so many items to help you through the uncertain future ahead of us.

Just imagine - if instead of investing in muni bonds (as they're called) you had invested in something edible that could be stored for years - and then you could eat it.

You can't do that with muni bonds, stocks or your IRA, can you?

Some people recommend that you buy gold, because it's likely to double in price over the next year or so. It is also a better store of value. However, if push comes to shove, can you eat it. Or if you cannot buy something with it, then what is its value?

But you can't eat that either.

Therefore, unless you have heaps of spare cash, the most sensible course of action is to plan your future around those four basics - shelter, food, water and medical.


The first thing we recommend - as always - is our 'bible' on preparedness - the book and DVD set called "Basic Preoparedness."
