INTRODUCTION Why I wrote this book. I have been growing my food for many years. As I write this book it is March 11, 2024. As I grow and purchase food for my family, I can see a food shortage in the U.S. in the coming years of 2024 / 2025. So this book is about food security and for those who never grew any of their food. No matter where you live, you can grow your food. If prices keep getting inflated to the point that you can no longer afford it, it won't matter if it is piled high. There are real food supply problems facing the global population. If you don't believe any of this, then ask yourself why have food prices risen so fast lately. One thing is certain, the US is much better off than the rest of the global community as North America grows much of its food. And yes, the US is part of North America. Where the real problems lie is in the rest of the world where there are real climate-induced shortages. The climate has NOTHING to do with CO2. 2024 / 2025 may see real starvation in some locations as globally there will not be enough food to go around.
