Thank you for your comments on Nestle. Don't get me started...

Middle TN here! Very good video. I like how you explained the why's behind the shortages. Things are gonna change, and we're gonna have to adjust accordingly. I've been trying to focus on growing / raising what I eat instead of going to the store. I've also been trying to get back to the basics, meaning how did my granny do it? Great-granny? This year in the garden was a challenge. Extreme temperature swings and bugs! Right now we have a drought, so no fall garden to speak of. Focusing on building the garden up for spring.

Great video! Many of the items ticked on your list would be considered luxury items by a lot of folks 75 or more years ago. I'm 51 and I remember when grocery stores were not giant places filled with 14 varieties of pasta sauce and an entire giant aisle devoted only to candy. We ate seasonally, for the most part and what we didn't grow was mostly grown close-by. I think the more folks that can grow even a countertop garden of herbs and a patio of vegetables would be better off in the future than the folks who rely 100% on grocery stores. But also - things in the world are under a constant ebb and flow - the fact is we are made more aware of it now because of the prevalence of media and science expansion. Home gardeners should save their seeds for the next year because those seeds will have begun adapting to the growing conditions in that area. I have grown seeds that originated outside my growing zone and had to baby those plants to produce anything, but the same variety grown in a more similar area was much more hardy for us. The seeds we saved from both varieties did better than their parent plants in the following year. So. Sorry for the rambling - thanks for your video.

We are bee keepers. We’ve lost hives when the electric company sprays the ditches. Now we close up the hives for a day when they spray, which is tough when it is really hot out. Everything does better with our bees. The apples are bigger. Some country’s have had to hand pollinate where the bees were wiped out. My husband calls it a money pit, lol! Our soils are being depleted, it is important to compost and feed the soil and rotate crops. I will not eat bugs, except microscopic ones I don’t intentionally eat, lol! I save seeds. Thank you Leisa for this list and thoughts for us to take to heart!

I also turned a leg storage shed into a green house. Solar lights and piped dripping hose. Even have a heater in there running on solar when needed for the year round growing season. I have citric trees. It's growing really well this way. This is working for me and I can lock it up for safe keeping. No one knows it is there.

You're not really buying this bologna are you? We have less food because of several reasons. Mr gate is now the largest farmland owner in the country. Let's see if he grows anything other than gen modified foods. Let's see how much of that land is farmed at all. Apple orchards are letting their fruit rot on the ground right now rather than sell them at low prices. Farmers are routinely paid to not grow or kill their herd/flock. The farmers in some countries have to use different fertilizer or lose their land. It's the ridiculous efforts of these lettered organizations that is causing a decline in production. They're just grooming us for eating bugs with an article like this.

​@@jrae6608right now it's really not needed yet. The price these solar farms are paying farmers for there land is pretty high. But there is no work, or expenses, labor or losses required from the farmer. Also stats say the average age of most farmers are over 66 years old. He has farmed his whole life. He's tired or getting disabled due to the hard life he has lead. This gives him more money and he is free to relax and not worry about how he'll pay his taxes & insurance and not lose his farm. For once in his life he can enjoy a vacation, or sit on his porch when he doesn't feel like working. So, most farmers are happy to accept this "good amount of income" that's pretty much guaranteed for the next 20 years of their lives. Most have workingvso hard all their lives that they won't live past that age so they are enjoying there first ever leisure life.

Exactly. In the 70s they told us the world was freezing and we were doomed. In the 90s they started pushing the “global warming” nonsense. Now they’ve switched it to “climate change” because the lie can’t as easily be exposed. The WEF and it’s billionaire members are about nothing but control and greed. As you said, the climate has been changing for millions of years and will continue to change for millions to come.

Japan grows food in high rise bldg. We should use old empty buildings for indoor gardening with controlled water and light. It stops bug and pollution issues. It also stops food from traveling long distances. If all this commercial bldg are going unused was used for food in each city the problems can be controlled.

I have to wonder if this is being told to us, just so we go to bugs and wanna be meat.

One of the issues on a world wide basis is what's call "aridfication" which began long before the recent 20-60 years worth of recent awareness about weather and other environmental changes. Acidification is all about land and micro climates becoming more arid, or dry. The creeping Sahara Desert is the most media covered, studied poster child for this. At the same time, there are places along the Sahara which are poster children for reclamation of arid lands, China has made some significant inroads, and there are even some examples in Arizona, USA. On a small scale in a back yard and only slighter larger scale on a 1 to 40 acre space of ground, we can be a part of the solution. The over all theme is to use green vegetation to create a soil sheltering umbrella. The specifics vary by as many climates as microclimates in existence and if you garden to much capacity in our area, the yard of a 1/4 acre tract home can contain multiple microclimates varying in temperatures as much as 10 degrees some seasons/ weeks of the year and have a heap of humidity differences. I encourage folks to create green spaces in thier yards and to use the shade of one plant to protect the next be they decorative horticultural or food producing vegetable type plants. You may or may not heal the globe but when you're sweltering on your back porch in the summer or your teeth are chattering in the winter, these styles of green spaces make life more pleasant at home.

Sorry, but you’re not realizing or doing enough research to realize that honeybees pollinate 80% of our food supply. It’s a HUGE deal and yes, we need more bee keepers. It’s not just like “you go get a couple hives” 😂 it’s a LOT more work then that lol like, you need to research, learn, learn learn. It’s actually not easy. Not having honey is the LEAST of my worries, it’s the fact that if the honeybee population goes extinct, SO DO WE I’m a beekeeper, I have a large apiary and I sell honey and medicine from them for a living… 🐝

I wonder if some fruit; even trees and shrubs, and strawberries etc. could be grown in greenhouses, (temperature controlled) and many people are doing this already. We may have to rely on some artificial devices such as Grow lights, Led lights, heaters and artificial cooling in greenhouses. There are many ways to preserve seeds, trees, shrubs and other fruits and vegetable. We just have to be willing to make the effort.

Late to the party, AND, there was a "content notice" on the video!? Only my opinion: The biggest issue is that the human race has become greedy. We want whatever we want, whenever we want. So many have no clue what goes into food production. Don't know how to live with food in season. Fresh veg and fruit in summer. Oranges only when they were available. Complain about the over-crowded hog/chicken facilities, but throw hissies over lack of bacon and eggs. The bigger problem is that they don't seem to care or want to learn. Our earth cannot take the abuse that continues to be dealt. It needs to rest just like our bodies. Also IMOO: Climate change has been a hot topic for around 100 years.

Seasons come and seasons go. We need to take care of the planet responsibly since it our home. That may mean tearing down some of those solar farms to grow food but a lot of people have already jumped on a band wagon and will ride it to their demise. We need to grow responsibly. If more people just grew a little bit of their food, that would make a huge difference in the world overall. Less concrete, more gardens. Stop the hoa that says no chickens and get a few. Be a producer, not always a consumer.

Natural bees are more important than honeybees. There are many other wild pollinators that necessary for plant production. We need to rethink consumption lifestyles that enjoy food all year round instead of eating and growing seasonally.. plus these reports are from the WEF and the UN . Do these groups have our best interests in mind?

Spreading granulated Sulphur over your property is an excellent way to get rid of ticks & chiggers. I'm in South Central Missouri & usually have to spread it 2-3 times a year (depends on how much rain we get in spring- lots & we'll need that 3rd application) Get it at your local farm store, it's cheap & since it's all natural it won't harm people, pets, helpful bugs or fish! Also, get you some powdered Sulphur to dust on your body, like grandma's perfumed powder, when going out hiking or woods to keep the critters off you.

Lisa, been watching you for years but this video on "climate change" just made me go hmmm!

Have been trying to decide if I will add more strawberries this spring. Guess I got my answer.

Hopefully people are using heritage/ heirloom breeds of veggies & fruits & animals that they themselves can save their own seeds and get the young to keep producing what is needed to provide most of their food. We are leaving a sad world for our children. grandchildren and great grandchildren to live in. But if all homesteaders, whether you live in the city or on thousands of acres, start to produce & collect its young, whether crop or animal it should help the people we leave to carry on after we are gone. We know from our past that many things are extinct now that use to be here. And the same for our future generations. But we really need to make better choices and make a true effort to change our ways before we lose more than we really have to.

I rarely use pesticides to grow vegetables. Lizards, frogs, birds, harmless snakes, wasps, etc gobble them up. My biggest pest was a wild bunny I made friends with this year. I planted two rows of her favorite, bush green beans, but she`s not a very good gardener and decided to eat the entire plants. I`m growing indoors too and have about 10 types of micro dwarf tomatoes to try this winter inside plus a 22 variety lettuce & leafy greens seed package I got cheap. I`ve never seen over half of them. I bought choke berry seeds too and planted a fig tree at my new place this spring and have pruned some cuttings to make more. Strawberries can be grown indoors but it takes some effort I`m told.

I am investing in Solitary Bees as they pollinate more than honey bees. I’m also planting large pollinator gardens and encouraging my community to plant as well.

where did u find your no.10, horizontal can dispenser shelving units

One way that drove home how weather dependent certain fruits are for me: I have a pear tree in my backyard. A couple years ago, we had a freak late season snow storm just as the tree was flowering. I did not get any pears. Also, when it is too hot, they tend to not ripen well.

Laugh out loud! Have you seen Yellowstone lately! I totally agree with you on everything ! Thanks❤

And when something is in season, I try to get extra and can some to use during other seasons.

If coffee is gone what's to live for 😂

I am a dinosaur I will be gone in twenty-five years. I will do the best I can until the LORD takes me home. Thanks so much for the info. Have a Blessed Thanksgiving. Stay safe

My strawberries this year produced about 2 cups. Drought. Intense sun. And no bees for my whole garden. I had only 1 eggplant. I usually have sooo many. Worst year ever for my garden. I canned nothing from my own garden. I went to the farmer's market to buy everything I canned. I have never payed those prices before. But I had to to stock my pantry for winter.

​@@blackrock5749same here as well, no one I know where happy with their gardens this year. The smoke chocked everything out in BC.

AND I AGREE WITH YOU ABOUT NESTLE'S. THEY RUINED CANADIAN LAKES IN MECOSTA CO, IN MI...WE WERE, AND I DON'T LIVE THERE NOW.. BUT WE BOYCOTT AND MAKE SURE WE HAVE OTHER BRANDS BUT FILTER OUR OWN.

I know I will not be around in 25 years, but I still have a lot of concern for my children and my grandchildren and future generations. Too many people still have their heads in the sand though. God have mercy on us all.

Part of the problem is the perfectly manicured lawns that are required in certain areas. If, instead, we promoted natural vegetation and gardening instead of tearing it all up and having HOAs insist on grass with one or two trees, we’d be in a slightly better position.

I live in the desert and grass in our front yards are not allowed in any new housing. They need to take it a step further and limit the amount of grass in all yard. I have notice the golf courses are not watering as much any more. Also we have watering times for your yard because of the evaporation factor during the day. Having a garden in the desert is DEFINATELY a challenge when it comes to water. Having to decrease my tomato plants next year due to the amount of water I had to use just to keep them alive.

Over the last 3 years of gardening in Northern Michigan, I went from collecting rain water for gardening, to putting in a separate well for our garden and this past year struggling to keep things watered well enough, yet we saw a 50-70% reduction in harvest due to high temperatures in the early spring, and smoke reducing the sunlight, and we had an early frost in the NW side of the state. The cost of running grow lights and heat mats to start plants, and then running a well pump daily for hours, has me rethinking gardening at all. I added fruit trees, and berry bushes as well as perennial herbs over the past few years, to reduce our costs.

We saw some of this in NW Wisconsin. It was either very dry or hailing/dumping inches of rain for about 1/2 of summer. Over the last 4 years we've planted fruit trees. We're in zone 4 but the last 3 winters we've had several days with -35 degree weather. The trees that we've planted were compatible with zone 3 just as a precaution to protect us against loosing them in extreme cold weather. good luck next year!

It’s hard work. Having a “food forest” like the bushes you’re talking about it great! Look into foraging in your area was… so much native and edible stuff to eat that grows wild.

While a lot will have to walk due to gas prices and shortages here in the south we can saddle up our horse flies and ride. LOL great video thank you for all your help

If we adjust our cheap and easy lens to long term planning and exploring the new climate opportunities, nurture the land instead of the most wasteful cheap and easy methods. However, notice this is a very targeted propaganda list. The richest and established land owners are the ones going to suffer the most as the green regions move on from their stakes. Fish seems to be the only legit food item on this list. The value of these commodities and the established businesses tied to them are in danger of suffering though. Terracing and other less wasteful water management methods would cure alot of these complaints. But we are talking about industries that do not want to sink their profits back into the land and communities they are milking dry. We are also talking industries that are MONOPOLIES of old money. Who sponsored the studies? And my biggest beef of all. There is not being any regulation on house building vs arable land. Almost all of the arable land is targeted for house building, because again, cheap and easy. Water is easier and the land is easier to build on in farm country. Nobody is building where food can't be grown, because cheap and easy. If our values are cheap and easy and max profits at any cost, greatness is the cost.

I read a few years ago that bananas will eventually be extinct due to crop disease, and I have noticed some periodic shortages in my area.

Not only that, they taste "different". We are HUGE banana bread lovers. More so than any bread. There's only so much bananas you can mash up and freeze. Scurvy could make a huge comeback in the years to come with the way things are going. Oh my ....berries of all kinds. I love them. I read somewhere recently that there was a period of time where there were no bananans. Seven years and people forgot how to eat bananas. Seriously.

Anyone can grow strawberries in containers and extend growing with grow lights

Could you please tell me what is in the Arm and Hammer bags? Thank you and have a Blessed Christmas.

Coffee waste - plastic k-cups for keurig machines

I won’t drink my well water for various reasons, but I have purchased a distiller to clean my water reusable water containers. I used to buy bottles but I am now bottle free. I would also need to distiller if I was on city Water because I don’t trust it.

I'll be 88. With the way the world is going I'm praying I don't last that long. Babylon is here and Jesus would be a very welcome coming.

Wow

I'll be 90 and my baby be 70 will do the best we can do😊

Seed catalogs usually come after Christmas. We already had 2 catalogs arrive! Take the hint and buy early.

We need to back to seasonal and local eating … with some imports.

Thank you for the heads up. It was a good list, but so sad. There will always be soylant green.

Lets see...in the desert...cactus!

Also with more bugs also means more diseases. Malaria in Florida. Tropical diseases can more further north due to increasing temperatures. While the natural predators are suffering due to heat. I’ve never seen so many 114 days in a row. Heat is a killer. I worked outside this summer. Waiting for tiny human school bus. I had gum melt in my purse and be unusable. Not to mention power grids globally are not equipped to deal with the heat. So power failures can happen. Then you have heat and health impacts on pregnancy. Risking more complication. It’s a bad slope overall

Coffee waste: perhaps k cups?

Gee. How old will I be 20 - 25 year? Dead. In the summer of 2023, due to the extreme heat in Texas, my son-in-law was outside walking down the road and passed out. He died from heat stroke.
