How would you survive global crop failure? You can't shoot hunger.

a garden; 3 sisters method would work.

>You can't shoot hunger.
think about that line again

>>63947697 (OP)
No but I can shoot hungry people. Meat is meat

>>63947708
You can also shoot people with food and take theirs.

No, but you can shoot the hungry.

remind us, what deer eats?

>a garden
Will only work if:
>your garden has several acres of workable land per person you intend to feed
>you already got your practice in (and rookie mistakes out) before your life depended on not fucking it up
>you already have all the tools and seeds ready before the Happening™ kicks off and billions of people suddenly want to take up gardening (pro tip: seeds become less likely to germinate as time passes, so you can't just buy a shitload and squirrel them away for something that might not happen for decades)
Time of year is also important, because you're only going to be able to get your seeds growing at certain times of year, and it'll be several months after that until you get any food out of them. Ideally you'd want to find out about the disaster in just enough time to prepare the land before it's time to sow the seeds, else you're going to be eating through a lot of stockpiled food before you get another opportunity to sow.
>3 sisters method would work
It worked when done by semi-nomadic people who weren't growing the same crops in the same place every year; if you intend to stick around in the same place then you'd likely be better off with a conventional rotation.
Corn is also a grass, so assuming OP's pic is intended as the context of the crop failure they mentioned, it wouldn't be available either.

Forbs. Deer would probably do better in a world without grass, desu. Weeds and shrubs would take over grasslands.

Don't make much sense to me but ok

Hunt fat people, they make funny noises when harpooned.

>The Death of Grass (US title No Blade of Grass) is a 1956 post-apocalyptic science fiction novel written by the English author Sam Youd under the pen name John Christopher. The plot concerns a virus that kills off grass species, including rice and wheat.
doesn't seem all that contrived to me, plants can in fact get viruses

>>63948250
You know... there are different species of grass, that are all different enough that what is a blight to one is negligible to another. One virus that effects every species of grass is the moronic contrived fairy tale of the ignorant fool.

>>63948744
You can't even use the word effect correctly, you dumb pseudointellectual dweeb. Stick to your IT job.

>>63948170
everyone has "I'd just kill myself" as the easy answer to situations they've never run into before, but how many would actually do it rather than choosing to die a slow horrible death as their skin falls off a little bit at a time

>>63948755
Killing yourself is harder than you'd think

GUYS what if ELECTRICITY STOPPED WORKING like YOU CAN'T GET SPARK TO IGNITE GUNPOWDER or THERE'S NO POWER

fuck off with these stupid hypotheticals

>>63948744
You know... it's possible to have a well-adapted pathogen that can be extremely virulent across multiple species, genuses, families, or even classes.

Perhaps.
But I can shoot be hungry, brother.

Seaweed. Seriously, seaweed has been explored as a famine food in cases where there's a significant drop in sunlight, such as a volcanic winter or impact from space. So seaweed, root vegetables like potatoes, carrots and such, and Kratky hydroponics for things like lettuce and tomatoes.

Is this yet another book that starts off with a semi coherent apocalypse plot and then weaves more supernatural/alien bullshit in as the book progresses?

>>63947697 (OP)
My fatass is least 30 pounds overweight. I'll be fine.

>>63948170
I would choose to live as long as I can purely out of spite.

>>63949565
No. It's actually pretty /k/ in its sensibilities for a Brit novel made in the 50s.
Seeing as half of /k/ has the reading comprehension of a 5 year-old, the language might filter some anons tho.

Then entire Americas is a massive food exporter, from Canada to Argentina. We would just live out of our reserves. Let the Asians and the Africans worry about that.

>You can’t shoot hunger
No, but I can shoot my nogunz neighbors and their families and steal their shit. From that point, I can either ride out until new solutions are found or go after the rich types in my area if not.

>>63947697 (OP)
Trading for food with the immense salt reserves I bought before the fall next question.

>>63947697 (OP)
Realistically, world governments would try to secure food resources by force, kicking off WW3. Therefore I die face down in the mud after failing to guard a field in Argentina.

Copypasting plot from Wiki. Sounds sorta neat.
>A new virus strain has infected rice crops in East Asia causing massive famine; the virus is also revealed to be found in the UK but because of its selectivity does not affect the country's agriculture. After the introduction of a new pesticide, developed in preference to breeding resistant crops, a mutated virus appears and infects the staple crops of West Asia and Europe such as wheat and barley—all of the grasses (thus the novel's title). It threatens a famine engulfing the whole of the Old World, while Australasia and the Americas attempt to impose rigorous quarantine to keep the virus out.
>The novel follows the struggles of engineer John Custance and his friend, civil servant Roger Buckley, as, along with their families, they make their way across an England which is rapidly descending into anarchy, hoping to reach the safety of John's brother's potato farm in an isolated Westmorland valley. Buckley, having advance warning of the government's plot to hydrogen bomb major cities, alerts Custance to evacuate. Picking up a travelling companion, a gun shop owner named Pirrie, after an attempt to procure arms, they find that they must sacrifice many of the aspects of the morality they held before the famine in order to stay alive. At one point, when their food supply runs out, they kill a family to take their bread, John justifying it with the belief that "it was them or us."
>Before reaching the valley, John takes in a large group of peaceful survivors. The group later survives encounters with a violent biker gang and soldiers attacking a farmhouse. After arriving at the valley, they find that John's brother is unable to let them all in to the heavily defended valley. Pirrie prevents John from taking only his immediate family into the valley; instead, the group takes the valley by force. Pirrie and John's brother are killed; John takes possession of the valley.

Freeze-dried food is good for 30 years and has remained edible and nutritious for 42 and counting. I have enough stored to adapt to even cataclysmic disruption, along with arable land, resourceful neighbors of good character, and armaments anyone outside /k/ would consider excessive.

assuming its just grasses than Im fine. full on food crop/vegetable failure? I survive on wild forage and edibles. Assuming thas gone. I die.

None of you came up with the idea that you can eat roots, veggies and meat?
Damn, you Americans have vile diets.

40-45% of calories disappearing from market will have significant impact

>>63951514
True dat, but considering modern day food waste, we will just have to eat less tasty shit.

>>63949366
Right but the colloquial term "grasses" is an arbitrary category, why would a virus work specifically against a human-created concept that doesn't line up with the biological reality?

>>63947697 (OP)
you can't shoot hunger, but you can shoot the hungry.
they're nothing but flesh for the maggotfarms.
