Episode#31: Food Shortages & Stockpiling

I’m joined by Chele from MomsLoveShopping.com to talk about a food emergency out in California, how it can effect us, and what we can do.

“Thanks to environmental regulations designed to protect the likes of the three-inch long delta smelt, one of America’s premier agricultural regions is suffering in a drought made worse by federal regulations.” Source

“The unemployment rate in agriculture communities ranges from 20 percent to 40 percent, while 250,000 acres of farmland are lying fallow or dying. The region’s agricultural output is expected to decline by between $1 billion and $3 billion this year over last, according to estimates by agricultural and business groups.” Source

If we think this is just effecting the folks in California – we are so wrong!
