The Russia-Ukraine war is making headlines everywhere. And while things are still quiet in America, shoppers will notice a steady increase in food prices.

Only hours after Russia announced a ban on fertilizer exports, the country of Hungary announced that it is halting all grain exports effective immediately. This is shocking news because as one of Europe’s most grain-rich countries, Hungary’s decision could send already record-high wheat prices even higher.
Egypt, Tunisia and Turkey are almost entirely reliant on Russia and Ukraine for their wheat imports. Russia and Ukraine, as expected, are also cutting off grain exports of the commodity for the time being.

While the ruling class and mainstream media are blaming the Russian “invasion” for these food shortages, the problem isn’t a new one. Preppers already noticed this issue last fall when some store items were unavailable.
However, this doesn’t mean things are fine, especially since the alleged Russian “invasion” and geopolitical decisions will only compound the food supply issue.
According to a report from the Illinois Newsroom, Ukraine and Russia supply almost 30 percent of the world’s wheat and at least 20 percent of its corn.
Megan Konar, a researcher of global supply chains at the University of Illinois, said millions have perished due to food shortages during World War II. An estimated 20 million people died in the conflict in World War II, but another 20 million people worldwide also died at the time from hunger, starvation and famine. This highlights the fact that war and food security are “very tightly related to one another,” explained Konar.
As spring nears, you should think about starting a home garden so you can grow food for your family. (Related: Food crisis incoming: War in Ukraine threatening global food supplies, half a billion people at risk of hunger.)
If you work on being more self-sufficient now, you will have a better chance of surviving what’s coming.
Here’s a list of food supplies you should stock up on for both short- and long-term survival scenarios. Note that the short-term survival scenarios include blizzards or short-term power outages, while long-term scenarios include an EMP attack, nuclear disaster or any event that would force you to bug in at home for at least one month.
Short-term food supplies:
Long-term food supplies:
Once you’ve stocked up on food, don’t forget to also stock up on water for the whole family. You will need a lot of water for drinking, cooking and cleaning, especially if you are prepping for a large family.
Even certain foods, such as dried beans, rice and oatmeal, are cooked in water. If you’re worried about not having access to clean water from the tap, stock up on bleach so you can purify water when SHTF.
Additionally, stock up on high-fat foods that don’t need to be cooked, such as peanut butter or other nut butters and coconut oil. These healthy fats will provide a lot of calories in one bite and can get you further than a cup of oatmeal.
Remain self-sufficient and prep before SHTF. Set some money aside for emergencies and stock up on food and water for your whole family before it’s too late.

How the Russia-Ukraine war is affecting global food supply

This is shocking news because as one of Europe’s most grain-rich countries, Hungary’s decision could send already record-high wheat prices even higher.
