Massive Food Shortage Coming!

NASA has been publicizing that the 1000 years drought has started and could have started as early as 1930 during the US Dust Bowl event that lasted 9 years. Much of the dust bowl event was caused by commercial agriculture of growing the same type of crop for five to seven seasons and were not rotating different crops to add needed nutrients to the soil. By planting the same crop for years and not rotating other crops in the same field, soil erosion, infestation of insects that turn the soil into dust, where nothing could ever grow.
Commercial agriculture continues to use the same planting practices as in the 1930’s Dust Bowl event, except, we are using more chemical fertilizer to treat crops against infestation of insects and using Genetically Modified Organic (GMO) seeds. Commercial agriculture is mostly owned by big corporations and not family own farms. GMO seeds produce a large yield of crops, but with reduced size and quality.
Permaculture, which is an intergraded farming of reducing waste and pollution and along with organic farming is growing because people want to eat healthier foods without the use of GMO’s or chemical fertilizer. Permaculture farming and organic farming are much smaller farms, but produce the best crops as far as size, healthy crops without GMO’s or chemicals.
Commercial agriculture will not be sustainable in producing all the foods we need in this world, without causing soil erosion and destroying the soil. The only way we can avert a food shortage is for everyone to start growing their own gardens using permaculture and organic farming methods, to grow healthy foods without GMO seeds or chemicals.
We as individuals and our communities need to invest in heirloom seeds that are genetically organic and have not been altered genetically or had chemicals or chemical fertilizer to help the plants grow. Many of these chemical fertilizers have been tied to chromic health issues. The European Union (EU) has studies on this food production method of using GMO’s and chemical fertilizer.
How are we going to solve the massive food shortage crises coming? We as people need to start growing our own plants and trees for food, without GMO’s seeds and without chemical fertilizers. The Noah’s Ark Seed Vault holds up to a million crop varieties in the remote Artic Island in the Norwegian archipelago. The ark has the capacity to hold up to 4.5 million seeds. Iceland has a similar seed ark vault and sometimes called the doomsday vault.
As citizens and our communities need to start planting organic heirloom seeds and the other half of these seeds should be used to store in a vault that will protect the seeds from damage, for future use. We need to start producing our food farms and food forest to help with the future coming food shortage crises. Think of these organic heirloom seeds as a future food bank protection.
The American Indians in Texas at the Spanish Colonial Missions (AITSCM) has already been working for the last several years with the City of San Antonio, Bexar County in building a food forest, under the direct of Jesse Reyes of AITSCM. Anthony J. Hernandez has come on board with AITSCM with experience in disaster and emergency management in sustainable living, to help develop a bio-food security plan. To develop a ark seed vault to help secure future food producing food sources for the Tap Pilam Coahuiltecan Nation and the San Antonio community.
As Native people we have been involved in agriculture, even before the Spaniards came to build the missions in Texas and Northen Mexico. As commercial agriculture is failing to produce healthy and edible foods without GMO’s and chemicals. It is our responsibility and mission to help educate, teach others on how to grow crops for food consumption and to help protect our environment, Mother Earth!
