Everyone has to be on board with this in order to succeed. Try convincing the millions of people who watch Fox this is a good idea. Noble cause but won’t even gain traction until people are freaking out because they don’t have food, at which point would be too late I’m afraid.

If we get to the point where lots of people don't have food then the problem solves itself. Sad but true.

I can't even convince people that trust me to not believe Fox News. It's very frustrating.

Americans are highly robust to famine. There's time.

Not as much as you think. There is an impending global shortage of fertilizer, a necessary ingredient to the globe's food industry. This was mostly caused by the War in Ukraine that destroyed several refineries that was pivotal to the international market.

Realistically, we will run out of fertilizer stock in about 3-5 years. After that, who's to say?
