A sustained disruption of traffic through Hormuz would not simply constitute an energy crisis. It would also represent a fertiliser shock (where prices go up dramatically and supply goes down) – and, by extension, a direct risk to global food security.
No till farming significantly reduces the need for fertilizer, while reducing costs for farmers and reducing water pollution.
It was a cause championed by honest work farmer guy meme too:
Do American farms not use compost and practice no-till farming?
We never need fertilizer, we just make compost.
Most Industrial farming doesn’t use no-till or much compost outside of raw manure.
If we stopped mandating ethanol, which uses fertilizer heavy corn, it might help ease the shock of fuel and fertilizer shortages.
The whole area has little food security and no water security. A few desalination plants have already been hit iirc. It’s going to be a huge crisis.
The rich Douchebags that control every country don’t give a shit if the plebs starve. They’ll never know hunger.
“Eat the rich”, as always.
