Michael Snyder<\/a> – November 16, 2020<\/p>\n The UN World Food Program was the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2020, and the head of that agency is warning of the potential for absolutely devastating famines around the globe in 2021.\u00a0 The COVID-19 lockdowns that were instituted all over the world this year created tremendous hardship in many wealthy countries, but in poorer nations the economic devastation has created alarming waves of hunger.\u00a0 There was hope that things would get better when lockdowns were being lifted, but now a new round of lockdowns is being imposed, and many experts are warning about what this could mean for those living in deep poverty.<\/p>\n David Beasley was absolutely thrilled when his agency was given the Nobel Peace Prize, because all of the attention has given him more opportunities to ask for money.\u00a0 Because without a massive influx of money, he says that we are going to see \u201cfamines of biblical proportions in 2021\u201d<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n The head of the World Food Program says the Nobel Peace Prize has given the U.N. agency a spotlight and megaphone to warn world leaders that next year is going to be worse than this year, and without billions of dollars \u201cwe are going to have famines of biblical proportions in 2021.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n As I have previously explained to my readers, widespread crop failures along with the economic shutdowns brought on by COVID-19 have put a tremendous amount of stress on global food distribution systems.\u00a0 Food prices are rapidly rising all over the planet, and this is hurting the people at the bottom of the economic food chain the most.<\/p>\n According to Beasley, many areas of the globe are potentially facing a major food crisis \u201cin the next three to six months\u201d<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n According to a joint analysis by WFP and the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization in October, 20 countries \u201care likely to face potential spikes in high acute food insecurity\u201d in the next three to six months, \u201cand require urgent attention.\u201d<\/em> Here in the United States, the good news is that nobody is facing starvation at this point.<\/p>\n http:\/\/theeconomiccollapseblog.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Michael Snyder – November 16, 2020 The UN World Food Program was the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2020, and the head of that agency is warning of the potential for absolutely devastating famines around the globe in 2021.\u00a0 The COVID-19 lockdowns that were instituted all over the world this year created tremendous … Continue reading UN World Food Program Warns Of \u201cFamines Of Biblical Proportions In 2021\u201d As Some Americans Wait 12 Hours For Food<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[17],"tags":[15399,15397,14905,36,6848,15398],"class_list":["post-19138","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-black-horse","tag-acute-food-insecurity","tag-covid-19-lockdowns","tag-david-beasley","tag-disaster","tag-famines","tag-un-world-food-program"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p8fAkI-4YG","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/setapartbytruth.org\/wordpress-watchman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19138","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/setapartbytruth.org\/wordpress-watchman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/setapartbytruth.org\/wordpress-watchman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setapartbytruth.org\/wordpress-watchman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setapartbytruth.org\/wordpress-watchman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19138"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/setapartbytruth.org\/wordpress-watchman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19138\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19140,"href":"https:\/\/setapartbytruth.org\/wordpress-watchman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19138\/revisions\/19140"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/setapartbytruth.org\/wordpress-watchman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19138"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setapartbytruth.org\/wordpress-watchman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19138"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setapartbytruth.org\/wordpress-watchman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19138"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
