5 Biggest Threats to America's Food Supply

AI Will Disrupt the Food Industry
Growing up, my mom always said, “Everything in moderation.” A little bit of something is okay, but an extreme amount is dangerous. Unfortunately, this mantra is no longer being applied to the food industry – especially when it comes to modern technology. Gone are the days when farmers relied on...

Protect Your Seeds. Lawmakers Are Coming for Them.
In 2020, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer essentially banned people from buying seeds.

What the Heck Is Happening in Holland?
Just a few years ago in 2017, National Geographic ran a feature entitled “This Tiny Country Feeds the World” with the tagline, “The Netherlands has become an agricultural giant by showing what the future of farming could look like.” Today, the European Union and the Dutch government have done a...
Stay Incognito: Top Tips to Evade Facial Recognition Technology

North American Plant and Factory Disasters in 2023
The large number of fires destroying food plants and factories in recent years is alarming. Fires that take place at processing facilities and food plants mean even more disruption to our already fragile supply chain…and even higher prices.

Unconventional Agriculture: Hydroponics, Aquaponics, and Vertical Farming
America has some serious food supply and agriculture issues. The ongoing supply chain issues, geopolitics, and inflation prices are enough to make anyone want to grow their own food. When you add in “random” factory fires and government legislation putting hard-working American farmers out of business, there is even more...
BRICS: Resetting the New World Order and the Global Financial System
Something big has happened in the past few weeks, but the American news media doesn’t seem too concerned. But they should be. We all should be. What I am talking about is not President Trump’s arraignment, but the news coming out of Saudi Arabia, Russia, and China and how there...
Lessons in Emergency Preparedness from Joseph
With Easter approaching, it feels like the right time to introduce (or re-introduce) you to the Bible hero Joseph. No, not Joseph as in Mary and Joseph. I’m talking about the Old Testament Joseph whose story is told in the Book of Genesis. Most often, our understanding of Joseph comes...
