The idea of a worldwide famine in these modern times may seem far-fetched, yet you don’t need to go further than the pages of recent history for proof that a debilitating food shortage is not only likely but may, in fact, be just around the corner.
Less than 200 years ago the devastation known as the “Great Famine” swept through Ireland when a calamity struck the nation’s potato crop. The food that was the basic staple of the Irish people turned into a black, stinking mess of rot as the potato blight — now known to be an airborne fungus — spread throughout the country and left death in its wake. Over one million people died from starvation and disease, while another two million were forced to emigrate from their homeland.
The devastation in 1845 was so complete because the majority of Ireland’s farmland was only used for growing potatoes… and only ONE TYPE of potato. Let’s think about that for a second: a nation growing the same food, essentially genetically identical, with the same susceptibilities, and disaster reared its ugly head. Nearly 35% of Ireland’s population was wiped out because the potatoes were almost completely from the same strain.
Now let’s fast forward to today…
Did you know that there are THOUSANDS of different plants and varieties available to feed the world’s hungry, but modern agriculture uses only a few? According to the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization, only 12 plant species provide 75% of our total food supply! And of those plants, just 4 species provide 75% of the total calories consumed by humans.
Are you scared yet?? (You should be.)
With such a limited variety in such a limited number of crops, we are ABSOLUTELY looking at the same circumstances that led to the Great Potato Famine in Ireland. But this time, it won’t be just one country. With almost no food alternatives, all it takes is for one little disease to wipe out the majority of the world’s food supply.
As the diversity of crops narrows further, it’s plain to see that the problem is spinning out of control. But you can take it back, right now. In this 6 minute and 37-second video you’ll see techniques used by the Ancient Babylonians to have 100% delicious and safe food brought straight to your table for pennies on the dollar — even in a tiny space.

The modern famine is closer than you think, so take the actions necessary to save yourself while you still have time.
