Ways To Contribute: Local Food Sources

The Local Food Sources Strategy

This is a continuing article in my Ways to Contribute article series: A series on ways for the average dissident to get involved in the movement.

If you are a dissident looking to get involved, I think one of the better options is this local food sources strategy. Especially given the world as it is evolving into disaster right now.

It’s also a safe strategy; you can stay completely under the radar while building outside of the system.

The strategy is simple. You are either securing, or building, local regenerative food sources. Think: sustainable food that could keep a community going for the years ahead if the system fails.

Given the days and the challenges we have coming ahead, I think gaining control of the food supply is one of the most critical necessities facing us.

Dissidents love to talk about politics and institutions, but we very often neglect the fundamentals.

One of the fundamentals that I believe is going to be at risk if any worst-case or even medium-case catastrophe unfolds is food availability.

We simply won’t have enough food for everyone.

Whether this happens because of a supply chain breakdown, a cyber attack that shuts down all logistics operations, hyperinflation, a major world war, or a billion other possibilities, is not exactly important. Underlying nearly every major cataclysm is always food scarcity. No matter what happens, food is going to be harder to get in the future.

How are you going to get food?

How is your community going to get it?

We do not have suitable answers for these questions. Especially if the cataclysm to the American Empire last months to years.

Let’s just use one disaster example. Consider if a cyber attack did happen (like the elites keep preaching about). Hell, a minor version of one may have just been tested last week with CrowdStrike.

If it were more widespread, like on the level Covid was, there would be no recurring deliveries for food. Food logistics rely completely on technology. If it goes down, so does the transport capabilities. The entire system of logistics would break down. Entire communities would suddenly find themselves on their own. But those same communities have very little local food options.

And that’s a good case scenario. If it was just a cyber attack that soon ended. But more than likely, we would face a cyber attack coupled with a World War™, severing certain supply chain lines permanently until the situation resolves (if it resolves).

That’s just one possibility. There are plenty of others I am sure you can imagine.

We saw how the supply chains even got hit with something like Covid. That was an easy one to rectify, because a major war hadn’t spiraled off severing food availability. But next time we may not be so lucky.

The point that I’m getting at is that a lot of us dissident are talking about what might be in store for us in the next few years. But we are not talking about how to address them.

Pretty much every one of these problems involves a problem with food. So let’s start there.

We should focus a lot more on that problem, compared to our time spent talking about some stupid elections coming up in November that will not matter or change anything.

And we should be worried about food availability outside of ourselves, as well.

It is not enough that we have our own food and we could outlast a neighbor. To get through this and to be successful with our goals and what we want, we need to have communities. These communities need food.

In fact, if any situation does occur where food is in short supply, the person who has the food is going to be the one leading the community.

Which means if you truly believe that rough times are coming ahead and that food will be scarce, then this strategy of securing local food is a clear-cut path to power and actual possibilities for systemic change. It’s a no-brainer.

Curious about how to go about this strategy? I cannot tell you how to go about doing this exactly. It depends far too much on your geography and region. Someone trying to secure food in Arizona is going to look a lot different from someone trying to do it in Appalachia. You’re going to need to war-game this out yourself given your area.

What I can share is what I have been doing. My family has gotten really integrated with local farmers and ranchers. We’ve done this through many methods, but the most helpful were going to farm and ranch events, joining co-ops, visiting farmers’ markets, and similar activities. The other biggest method, obviously, is buying direct from them. So you develop a relationship with them over time.

I had to take this route because I do not have the land or the money needed to build my own regenerative food spot. So I have to work with those who have it.

The idea is that, if things go bad here, I have a strong network of the people who can make food happen locally. We could bring these people together for it.

I doubt we’d be able to save the entire community, but we could get enough food to make a difference.

One thing I have found is that I am not the only one thinking about the calamities ahead. I’ve had many candid conversations with a lot of the ranchers and farmers, who are often conservative folk, who expect similar problems to come in the future. Many of us are already on the same page. They just don’t know what to do. But I do. It would not be hard to round up a few hardy young men to offer protection to them in exchange for keeping the food running when things pop off. And right there is a source of sustainable food sources, all local.

Additionally, as a unit, we would now hold one of the most important key resources for a local community to thrive. That is a powerful, and useful, position to be in for the dissident.

Like I mentioned, this strategy will have to be modified with your particular region and living conditions. But it is a very useful one.

Local food strategy is one that I feel will be incredibly important in the years to come. Especially considering the disasters that are heading our way.

Start taking steps to secure your community’s food if you feel called to this strategy. Just don’t waste time. We might not have much of it left.
