A war between Russia and Ukraine, the world’s first and fifth largest wheat exporters, which could cut off over 30% of the world’s wheat supply.
“The worst drought in decades,” which experts say could substantially lower food production globally – by as much as 53% in some areas.
A shortage in fertilizer which has sent prices to never-before-seen levels. As a result, many farmers are opting not to plant this year because the costs are too high.
All of the above, and you have the climate change regime telling us we need to move from meat to bugs.
During the initial phase of the pandemic I was concentrated mostly on buying gold, silver, bitcoin and other non-traditional assets but now I think that stocking up on certain food items is probably the right play. Meat prices continue to soar and I expect them to keep going up through most of this year.
One of the best ways to “beat” inflation is to buy goods now as they will be more expensive in the future, especially if they are things you buy anyways. For us, meat is THE main staple of our families diet and what I recommend all my clients to eat a lot of.
The top solution for meat is to definitely buy locally. Support local whenever possible. When it’s not possible, I’ve found ButcherBox to be a legitimate solution. They’ve kept prices on 100% grassfed beef very reasonable (7.50/$). Our family typically gets the big box every month and when I can, I’ll add to it to stock up. We darn near have a freezer full of meat. It’s good for sleeping at night. Does anyone else use Butcher Box? Or have you found another good source?
I’m telling you, stock up now. The fall could get dicey for ahwhile…

We get a ButcherBox delivery each month since summer 2020 and are happy with the meat/price/convenience. We are also now trying White Oak Pastures. https://whiteoakpastures.com/
