A food crisis can become a security crisis.In the second part of my conversation with climate analyst David Spratt, we look at what happens when climate disruption, extreme heat, food insecurity and geopolitical tensions begin to interact.The Indo-Pacific is particularly vulnerable. Australia and its neighbours face increasing heat and dryness while the region is already shaped by political and security tensions. David explores how a food and heat crisis could potentially destabilise the wider region — and why governments need to prepare for these risks before they become emergencies.We discuss the need for stronger climate-security intelligence, food stockpiles, resilience, adaptation and disaster preparedness. David also examines the relationship between climate disruption, displacement and political instability, drawing on examples including Syria and the Arab Spring.The conversation also turns to Australia's contradictory climate policy, the vulnerability of Indonesia and the question of whether governments are responding adequately as extreme climate events repeatedly exceed expectations.David's central message is that climate impacts cannot be treated simply as isolated environmental events. They can interact with existing vulnerabilities, creating cascading consequences across food systems, societies and national security.In this episode:• How a food and heat crisis could become a security crisis• Why the Indo-Pacific is particularly vulnerable• Australia, China and a contested Pacific• The need for climate-security intelligence• Why governments need to prepare before crises arrive• Food insecurity, migration and political instability• Lessons from Syria and the Arab Spring• Indonesia's vulnerability to climate disruption• Australia's contradictory climate and energy policy• Why extreme climate events are repeatedly exceeding expectations• Resilience, adaptation and disaster preparedness• An El Niño with no historical analogueDavid Spratt is a climate analyst and researcher with the Australian Security Leaders Climate Group.This conversation explores a plausible risk scenario, not a prediction.Part 1: War, Fertiliser & El Niño: A Recipe for Food Crisis?
What happens when war, fertiliser shortages, extreme heat and El Niño collide?In this episode of ClimateGen, Nick Breeze speaks with climate analyst David Spratt about a potentially dangerous food-security crisis unfolding across the Indo-Pacific.David is the co-author of Recipe for Food Insecurity: War, Fertiliser and the El Niño, which examines what could happen when several systemic shocks occur at the same time: reduced fertiliser availability, lower crop plantings, extreme heat, drought and a powerful El Niño affecting some of the world's most important agricultural regions.Rice is at the centre of the concern. Much of Asia depends heavily on rice, while the international rice market is relatively small. A significant production shock could therefore have rapid consequences for prices and food availability.David draws a comparison with the wheat crisis of 2009–10, when simultaneous crop failures contributed to a dramatic rise in wheat prices in the Middle East and helped create conditions that fed into the Arab Spring.He is careful to stress that this is not a prediction, but a plausible scenario that governments should be preparing for.The conversation explores how food insecurity can interact with extreme heat, existing conflicts and political instability — and how a food and climate crisis could ultimately become a security crisis.We discuss:• Why El Niño could create exceptionally hot and dry conditions across Asia and Australia• The fertiliser crisis and why its effects could persist for years• Why rice is particularly vulnerable• The relationship between food prices, insecurity and social unrest• Lessons from the 2009–10 wheat crisis and the Arab Spring• How climate disruption can contribute to regional instability• Why governments need better climate-security intelligence and preparedness• The importance of resilience, adaptation and planning before crises arriveDavid Spratt is a climate analyst and researcher with the Australian Security Leaders Climate Group.This episode explores a plausible risk scenario — not a forecast.
Caption 1920 RUSSIAN POSTER DENOUNCING UKRAINE Global Energy And Food CrisisMichael Bernstam outlines a compounding global energy and food crisis. Tensions between the US and Iran have halted critical oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, driving Brent crude prices up. Meanwhile, European winter natural gas prices have tripled due to storages being filled only to 62%. High gas prices also restrict fertilizer production, which, coupled with Black Sea port bombings by Russia and Ukraine, has caused a spike in global grain prices. Finally, despite US interest in Venezuelan heavy crude to produce diesel, decades of local mismanagement limit production. (4)

Across the United States, a quiet crisis is unfolding inside our food supply chain. Sweeping budget cuts, staff reductions, and systemic deregulation under the Trump administration and DOGE have severely weakened the key public health agencies tasked with keeping our food safe—the FDA, USDA, and CDC. With critical surveillance networks like FoodNet scaled back, staff numbers slashed across vital departments, and advisory panels disbanded, our early warning system for dangerous foodborne pathogens is being dismantled.

When the US and Israel started bombing Iran earlier this year, market watchers eyed the oil markets nervously. But as the price of crude oil climbed, so did the price of another key commodity produced in the Gulf: fertiliser. Five months later, the world's food system is looking better than feared, but as Adam Hanieh, director of the Middle East Institute at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London explains, the worst may yet be to come.

Four food-supply pressures are converging now. Build a personal buffer—stored staples, local sourcing, and a plan—before it hits. The post The Food Crisis Has Already Started—Are You Ready? appeared first on Mind4Survival.
Extinction Rebellion's co-founder Clare Farrell and conservation scientist Dr Charlie Gardner team up once more to discuss issues and stories they feel are not getting enough airtime. They want to make sure that the latest news in science and important reports that are relevant to the climate and ecological crisis are flagged and explained in ways that are easy to understand.EPISODE 35: A food crisis is coming this year and the government is unpreparedIn this episode Clare and Charlie discuss how a perfect storm is brewing that will result in a coming food crisis this year and what you can do to prepare. They cover how the closure of the Strait of Hormuz is affecting fertilizer supplies and increasing fuel prices, while a developing El Niño weather event is going to exacerbate already difficult growing conditions. All this against a background of a fragile food system and an unprepared government means we need to organise to keep ourselves safe.This isn't the final word in terms of things to think and do. It's really important to think about the near term impacts, but it's a huge topic and there is much more to cover in future episodes.REFERENCESBritain ‘sleepwalking into a food crisis' without urgent action, experts say - The Guardianhttps://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/may/28/britain-sleepwalking-into-a-food-crisis-without-urgent-action-experts-saySteve Keen – Things Fall Apart - Brave New Europehttps://braveneweurope.com/steve-keen-things-fall-apartIndustry body warns fuel crisis could leave crops rotting in UK fields - The Guardianhttps://www.farminguk.com/news/industry-body-warns-fuel-crisis-could-leave-crops-rotting-in-uk-fields_68483.html 'Unpredictable and extreme': Asia braces for El Niño - The Guardianhttps://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jun/05/el-nino-asia-unpredictable-extreme-weather-climate-change-crisisPro-Social Hoarding - George Monbiothttps://www.monbiot.com/2025/03/20/pro-social-hoarding/A food revolution: campaigners in Liège want all the region's produce to be grown locally.

The Strait of Hormuz crisis is disrupting global energy and fertilizer markets. For the hundreds of millions already living in extreme poverty, the effects could be severe. In this episode, Ben Davis, Director of FAO's Rural Transformation and Gender Equality Division, and Marco Knowles, Senior Policy Officer in the same division, make the case for social protection as a more effective response than the costly subsidies that governments are reaching for. They challenge the idea that cash transfers are handouts, drawing on rigorous evidence showing that rural households invest them productively in agricultural inputs, education, and local economies. And they explain why targeted social assistance outperforms subsidies in both efficiency and reach.

Food Travel USA with Elizabeth DoughertyAlbum: The TRUTH About Food and Travel 060826 Original Broadcast Date: 06/08/26 The food system has a fertilizer problem and almost nobody in mainstream media is talking about it seriously. The global supply of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, the three pillars of modern agricultural production, is increasingly concentrated in the hands of a small number of countries and an even smaller number of corporations. When that supply gets disrupted, the ripple moves fast: from the farm to the commodity market to the grocery shelf, often within a single growing season. And the disruptions are already happening. Sanctions, trade conflicts, energy costs, and weather events are simultaneously squeezing production and distribution at a scale that most American consumers have never had to consider. The farmers feel it first. They absorb the cost, scale back, or exit the business entirely. The consolidation that follows is exactly the kind that Food Travel USA has been documenting for years, with large operations absorbing the land and leverage of smaller ones who couldn't survive the input cost spike. Elizabeth breaks down what a fertilizer shortage actually means in practical terms, who controls the supply chain, how the current geopolitical environment is accelerating the crisis, and what the calamity ahead looks like if the structural problems don't get addressed. This is the kind of story that takes years to develop in the open and lands like a surprise when it finally hits. You were warned here first. FOOD TRAVEL USA FAST FACTS About the Show Using the chassis of a food and travel show, Elizabeth Dougherty has carved out her own lane in Talk Radio, covering the contamination of the food supply and the travel restrictions placed upon us by an overreaching government. The show also covers data protection, self-sufficiency, and homesteading-related topics to help protect us from this evil, corrupt system. With Elizabeth as the host, the show has a very different sound from the typical male-oriented talk radio. In combination with terrestrial stations that carry the show, we reach people who don't normally listen to politically-driven talk radio. In addition to the LIVE FEED of the show on Saturday afternoons from 5pm–7pm (Eastern) / 2pm–4pm (Pacific), we produce and distribute a dozen podcast segments each week.

With a staggering 70% of U.S. farmers unable to afford the necessary inputs for their crops, Michael underscores the dire implications this has for food supply in the coming months. He connects the dots between economic turmoil and political leadership, critiquing the current administration's lack of a coherent economic agenda. As the nation grapples with these challenges, Michael calls for a return to focus on the everyday struggles of Americans, rather than getting lost in political distractions. Tune in for a candid discussion on the realities facing farmers and the broader implications for our economy.Catch Michael Steele on The Weeknight Mondays - Fridays at 7pm EST on MSNBC: https://www.msnbc.com/weeknightFollow Michael on X: https://x.com/MichaelSteeleFollow Michael on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/michaelsteele.bsky.socialFollow Michael on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chairman_steele/Follow Michael on Threads: https://www.threads.net/@chairman_steeleListen to The Michael Steele Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-michael-steele-podcast/id1412905534Watch The Michael Steele Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJNKzTkCZE9uNqPiKYw5eU5YkS_mMsr6o
Alvaro Lario, President of the International Fund for Agricultural Development, on the threat of a food crisis due to the war in the Middle East.
with Brad Friedman & Desi Doyen
John Klar, small farm advocate, food freedom expert, and MAHA advisor, joins the program to discuss the sustained real-world pressures facing farmers today. From relentless competition with large corporations to burdensome legislation that can make it increasingly difficult to grow food, raise livestock, and remain economically viable, John explains why so many family farms are under growing strain.We also discuss how the current Iran war has intensified already fragile conditions, with potential supply chain disruptions in fertilizer, fuel, and other critical agricultural inputs. John shares why these mounting pressures could have serious consequences for food prices, food security, and the long-term resilience of local farming communities. In addition, we examine how moves toward greater centralization of the global food supply are creating regulatory burdens that may increase vulnerability rather than strengthen stability. This is an important conversation on the future of farming, food freedom, and why supporting local producers matters now more than ever.You can learn more about John Klar and purchase his book at https://SmallFarmRepublic.comSee Marjory Wildcraft's FREE Growing Food Webinar at sarahwestall.substack.com/p/free-prepare-webinar-how-to-grow

The HighWire with Del Bigtree delivers a powerful episode covering vaccine messaging, an impending global food crisis, autism communication rights, and cutting-edge stem cell science.First, One of the most powerful human events The HighWire has covered centers on the film Spellers, and the communication method that allows non-speaking individuals with autism to express themselves through spelling. Dawnmarie Gaivin, AT-ACP, founder of the Spellers Freedom Foundation, joins Del, along with Spellers cast member Elizabeth Bonker, for an inspiring conversation exposing the growing battle over the right to communicate.As Robert F. Kennedy Jr. works to reconstitute the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), we examine the new media narrative being deployed against so-called anti-vaxxers and what it signals about the next phase of the public health debate.Then, Jefferey Jaxen reports on the growing fertilizer supply crisis linked to instability around the Strait of Hormuz, a key global chokepoint through which roughly one-third of the world's fertilizer ingredients move. What could this mean for food supply, energy, fuel prices, and the risk of a broader international food crisis?Finally, Del sits down with Ed Clay, a former MMA fighter whose family health crisis led him deep into the world of stem cell therapies and cancer research. He now leads one of the biggest clinics in the world doing this work — in Mexico. It's a jaw-dropping conversation about why this science is happening outside the United States and what it could mean for the future of medicine.Guests: Dawnmarie Gaivin, AT-ACP, Elizabeth Bonker, Ginnie Breen, Ed ClayAirdate: April 2, 2026Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-highwire-with-del-bigtree--3620606/support.

While America's war in Iran slides into higher casualties and greater costs, most of the world remains distracted from America's illegal blockade of Cuba--an act of war. Why the oil crisis is going to fuel a food crisis, which is going to sow revolutionary conditions around the world. How imperialism does and doesn't help explain the US bombing a dairy farm in Ecuador. Pete Hegseth's pastor praying for the death of Texas senate candidate James Talarico signals a wave of far right violence that will confront the victories of left populist democrats in 2026 and 2028. Tracking the latest in the Iran war reveals just how much we're experiencing epistemic collapse--did Iran even fire missiles at Diego Garcia? And who pays for war?

Dr. John Coyne joins John Anderson to provide a sobering assessment of why Australia has fallen behind its international peers in maintaining essential fuel reserves. They trace the history of global energy shocks to explain how current complacency regarding diesel and urea threatens the heartbeat of the Australian agricultural sector.The conversation considers the 'cascading risks' of the modern strategic environment and the limitations of current solutions like electrification for heavy farming machinery. This is a call for leaders to prioritise sovereign security and frank policy advice over populist convenience.Dr. John Coyne is the inaugural Director of ASPI's National Security Program, overseeing ASPI's Counter-Terrorism Policy Centre; Statecraft and Intelligence Policy Centre; Climate and Security Policy Centre, and Strategic Policing and Law Enforcement Policy Centre. He is the author of The Role of Strategic Intelligence in Law Enforcement and has published widely on policing, national security, northern Australia and organised crime.
Are current American food policies truly protecting public health, or are they putting it at risk?In this week's episode ofThe Feds, Stephanie speaks with Zen Honeycutt, the founder of Moms Across America, a national movement dedicated to educating families about toxins in the food supply and advocating for healthier agricultural practices. After witnessing her own children's health improve dramatically when they switched to organic foods, Zen launched a nationwide effort to test everyday products and raise awareness about the presence of glyphosate, pesticides, and other chemical residues in food. Zen discusses the widespread use of glyphosate in American agriculture, shares testing results revealing concerning levels of these substances in popular items such as cereals, baby formula, Girl Scout cookies, and even military food, and examines the roles of the EPA and FDA in regulating food safety. The conversation also addresses concerns regarding the Farm Bill and the President's recent Executive Order, and the growing demand amongst many Americans for greater transparency about what is actually in their food. Zen offers practical steps that families can take to reduce their exposure to toxins and support healthier farming methods.

America's food independence is collapsing in real time — and almost nobody is talking about it. In this explosive episode of the Survival & Basic Badass Podcast, we rip the curtain off the terrifying truth: • The U.S. is now running a RECORD $49.5 BILLION food trade deficit in 2025 • We import more food than ever while domestic production craters • The average American farmer is almost 60 years old and retiring with no one to replace them • Insane labor laws, sky-high regulations, and emotion-driven bans are crushing U.S. growers… while imported food from Mexico and beyond skates by with almost zero oversight • If global shipping stops tomorrow (war, blockade, cyberattack), grocery shelves go EMPTY in days This isn't fear porn — this is math, USDA data, and cold hard reality. Whether you're a hardcore prepper, a homesteader, or just someone who likes eating, you NEED to hear this episode before it's too late. ⏰ Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro: The nightmare scenario nobody wants to face 03:12 – The $49.5 billion food trade deficit nobody's talking about 12:05 – Why the American farmer is going extinct (average age 58+) 25:30 – The regulatory double-standard destroying U.S. agriculture 40:15 – Labor laws & costs that make growing food here impossible 50:20 – What YOU must do RIGHT NOW to food-proof your family Stock up.

Our food system is reaching a breaking point—and the warning signs are already on our plates. From disappearing crops to rising health costs, it's clear that the way we grow and eat food can't continue as it has. Today on The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with Sam Kass, former White House chef and senior policy advisor, to explore his new book The Last Supper: The Politics of the End of Food. We talk about what's driving the crisis, what's already being done to repair it, and how each of us can help build a food system that supports both people and the planet. Join us for the full conversation on YouTube, or listen wherever you get your podcasts. We discuss: • What if the foods you eat every day are quietly shaping both your health and the planet's? • Learn how a healthier food system could mean cleaner air, better soil, and stronger communities. • See why so many farmers want to do better—and what keeps them stuck. • How everyday food choices shape the culture that businesses and policymakers follow. • Simple actions you can take now to help build a food system that serves all of us. If this really is our “last supper” with the food system as we know it, we have the power to decide what comes next. Let's make it a meal that feeds both people and the planet.

Caleb is joined by Sam Kass, former senior food policy advisor to President Obama and the chef who cooked dinner for the first family most nights. Now a partner at a venture capital firm investing in food and agriculture tech, Sam has a new book out, The Last Supper: How to Overcome the Coming Food Crisis. The situation, he says, is bleak. Almonds, artichokes, chocolate, coffee, oysters, rice, wine — all at risk due to climate change. And that's not even close to the full list. Our food system is both driving the climate crisis and being devastated by it. But Sam argues we can still avert the worst if we start with culture, fix our policies, and deploy the right technology. (4:00) Cooking for the Obamas (7:49) How vulnerable is our food supply? (12:45) Can fixing the food system bring us together?

Nearly half a million people in Gaza now face starvation, according to a new report from the IPC, the international panel of famine experts who advise the United Nations.For more than ten weeks, Israel has halted the flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza, to pressure Hamas to release Israeli hostages. Israel accuses Hamas of seizing aid, selling it on the black market and using aid distribution to reinforce its control of Gaza.The UN says hundreds of truckloads of lifesaving supplies are waiting at the border. Meanwhile, inside Gaza, food is scarce. Humanitarian groups like the UN World Food Programme (WFP) exhausted supplies of basic staples weeks ago, forcing them to shut down their kitchens and bakeries, and everyday Palestinians are grinding up pasta and lentils to make flour for bread. Antoine Renard of the WFP says when he was in Gaza last week, wheat flour was selling for $10 a pound. Juana Summers talks with Renard about what he's seen in Gaza, and what's next for the people there.For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org.
