is famine coming?

Much of Iowa's crops have been destroyed by the "derecho storm" a week ago, and Trump visited the disaster site.

"It's amazing, it's big," Trump told local and federal officials at a briefing about the damage, a day after approving disaster aid for the state.

yes, the "do nothing president" (if you read the MSM) was there and brought help.

here is the background of what this means:

The storm packed hurricane-force winds that crumpled steel storage bins, flattened corn fields, caused widespread damage in towns and left thousands of people without power. Crop losses come as China needs to import more corn to meet rising demand to feed livestock. 

so China has been buying a lot of food products from the USA. more HERE. an analysis of it here.
And that doesn't even mention the African swine flu killing their pigs, various parasitic diseases,

and of course, there have been floods in India, Southern Japan,, southern South Korea, eastern India and Bengladesh.

add to this the disruption of the supply chains by the virus, it means famine in the near future for many places in the world, but for some reason when I google about it, all the articles are dated last April. WTF? even the Wikipedia page references are from back then.

Africa has not only covid, but locusts who are behind their threatened famine... and the Asia times reports on possible Famine in Pakistan link and AlJ report on Latin America do report on the crisis

unrelated:

 on AlJ, I ran into this report about the missing children in Mexico.

An average of seven children go missing daily in Mexico: Report Most are believed to have been trafficked for sexual exploitation or sold into forced labour.
Houston newspaper has a report of this terrible problem that happens all over the world and says it is getting worse from the poverty due to the covid epidemic and made isolated children vulnerable to seduction via internet.

it's a major problem here in the Philippines, which is one of the world centers for cybersex with children.

given the high unemployment due to quarantine shutdowns, I suspect the problem is a lot worse now.

As for local famine: The harvest here so far is okay, but there is a question if the poor will able to afford to buy food since they are now unemployed.
