That’s true, that is the risk you get with having then in the first place.

But if you delve deeper in how these things come to be in the first place.

1. Not all citizens are ready to pay more for locally produce, which in my view becomes. Hey farmer! I know you work hard an stuff, but I prefer produce which are obtained using close to slave labor conditions. Because its cheap.

2. Hey farmer ! I see you are working very hard for organic produce and that you sacrificing yields in order to supply us with organic produce. But you know want, I like them cheaper, Happy rotting.

Or

3. Government set restrictions, rules, quotas and perhaps more oversight I missed, because math/simulations/feelings apparently.

Than you can make another similar sequence with farmers and its suppliers.

They brought it onto themselves. And also another one. I believe, that Africa should be more than capable of being self-sustainable. But western powers don’t want to allow that. I can go on and rant about which ways they might be doing that. Honestly,

Hey Kaz:
I understand to some degree where you’re coming from- but the reality is the global supply chain exists (though it shouldn’t) and choking it off will kill people.

Further to that: it’s time to grow some food of your own people! I’ve gardened for decades. Everyone can do a little bit. It’s time, actually it way past time to get going.

Yeah right….. I going to be very blunt about this. But its the ordinary people who allowed themselves to be taken hostage by this in the first place. Where the hell did they think all the cheap stuff from in the first place.
