They're Stealing Right out from Under our Noses

What happens here

The speaker asserts that 20% of the global fertilizer supply, in the form of liquefied natural gas (LNG), flows through the Strait of Hormuz. He claims that this supply is currently being disrupted, leading to a crisis for farmers. He argues that this will result in food supply issues and higher food prices by harvest time. He questions how to prepare for such a crisis, suggesting that even stocking up on fuel might not be worthwhile, as the core problem lies with the food supply.

Goal: Explain the link between global fertilizer supply and an impending food crisis.

What they say

same region. All right, guys. I'm going to jump in here because I'm going to tell you something that the news does not cover. And that's the fact that 20% of the global supply of fertilizer flows through the Strait of Hormuz in the form of LNG or liquefied natural gas, which is the first step in the process of creating ammonia or urea, which is what actually creates the fertilizer that farmers use. So, 20% of the world's supply of fertilizer is basically being disrupted. >> And so right now the farmers are facing [music] a crisis right now at this point. So, when they're trying to fertilize their crops, not only is the price of the fertilizer higher than it's been in a long time, but it's also the availability isn't there. So, we're going to have issues with our food supply, which is going to make that food price actually go higher than I think we've ever experienced. So, what happened in the Strait back then like a few weeks ago [music] is going to really be felt this fall during harvest time when we're going to see food prices start to go up. But most people aren't going to be able to real put that correlation together. Why are food prices rising? Well, everything that happened just within the last few weeks is going to make the food prices go up in in another three or four months. So, I don't know how to prepare for that. I don't know and I don't know if if getting a bunch of fuel on board is even [music] going to be worthwhile cuz what difference is it going to make? No. >> When you're when you're hungry and you can't afford a freaking loaf of bread. Oh, you can sell some of the fuel. >> [laughter] >> I just don't know. And I think this should be a question for the audience. Is unless you have your own self-sustaining farm and you're raising. So, I've even gone so far as to think, you know, you can raise chickens, you're only going to get eggs. Chickens don't breed meat chickens. >> No, not unless you do it, but you have to do it in bulk. >> and it's not feasible. So, you got rabbits. Meat rabbits are a great way to to source meat. You can also stock up on ammunition because hunting, that's how my dad got by. He hunted. That's it. He didn't They didn't have food. It was you ate meat. You ate you hunted, you pulled you harvested, and that's what you ate. >> but Well, let me ask you a question.
