But even as food shortages intensify, governments including the Biden administration are cracking down harder on agricultural production.
“Experts and lawmakers who spoke to The Epoch Times warned that it was time to rein in government policies that are harming the poor the most. A Republican congressman said a GOP-led Congress would begin work immediately upon taking control.
“While the attacks on agriculture and related industries look different in different nations, many experts say it is a coordinated global policy being promoted by the United Nations (U.N.), the World Economic Forum (WEF), the European Union (EU), and other international forces determined to transform civilization.
“In July, The Epoch Times published an in-depth investigative piece citing multiple professionals in the field who said U.N.-backed policies on climate change and sustainable development, which they described as a “war on farmers,” were directly responsible for the escalating food crisis.
“The result of the policies targeting agricultural producers is starting to become clear, with food shortages becoming more acute around the world. Think Sri Lanka, but on a global scale—at least if current trends continue.
“U.N. leaders and Western officials are discussing it openly. President Joe Biden, for example, citing the conflict in Ukraine, warned earlier this year that “real” food shortages were coming soon.
“U.N. World Food Program Executive Director David Beasley, meanwhile, has been warning since the start of the COVID crisis of “devastating” global food shortages that could lead to famine of “biblical proportions” in dozens of nations.
“The world must open its eyes to this unprecedented global food crisis and act now to stop it spinning out of control,” he said just last month at a World Food Day event hosted by a U.N. agency led by a member of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
“In fact, with farmers and ranchers under growing regulatory pressure, numerous authoritative sources are warning that even wealthy countries like the United States could start seeing supply-chain issues in food and other critical sectors in the months ahead.
“Suffering in Europe
In Europe, the cracks in the system are starting to show. Already, more and more items are missing from supermarket shelves as prices skyrocket. In the United Kingdom and Germany, escalating shortages at stores have made headlines for weeks.
“Numerous nations around the world—especially in the Middle East and Africa—are already facing major food crises. And with U.N.-backed “sustainable” policies by government and the financial industry decimating energy systems and agricultural production, the pain is likely to increase, experts say.
It is especially hard on the poor, said Dr. E. Calvin Beisner, president of the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation, blasting anti-farming policies supposedly aimed at fighting climate change.
“Banning or reducing the use of nitrous fertilizers in the name of fighting global warming is nonsense,” he told The Epoch Times, pointing to policies pursued by governments around the world in response to U.N. advocacy.
“Nitrous oxides are a bit player in the overall greenhouse effect, overshadowed hundreds of times by carbon dioxide and thousands by water vapor,” Beisner continued.
“The infrared wavelengths at which nitrous oxides absorb are almost completely absorbed already. Hence, they can contribute only an insignificant amount to global warming.”
“But their contribution to human well-being is immense, as they multiply crop yields per acre, per hour of labor, and per input of capital, making food more abundant and less expensive for everyone,” added Beisner, a leading Christian authority on environmental issues. “The poor benefit more from them than anyone.”
“The war on farmers is a war on the poor,” he concluded.
“War on Farmers
“The war on farmers has been observed clearly in Holland, Sri Lanka, South Africa, Canada, and many other nations—even in the United States.
“In public, pretexts for the policies include saving the planet from alleged man-made climate change, dealing with various other environmental issues, improving economic efficiency, and even giving lands to “indigenous” people. But critics say the true motivation seems to be much darker.
“The ultimate goal of powerful international actors, according to the international organizations, such as WEF, behind many of the policies resulting in food insecurity, is to restructure every element of life on planet Earth.
“From rethinking private property rights to drawing up a “new social contract,” everything must be transformed, WEF founder Klaus Schwab and his organization have argued for years while promoting what they refer to as the “Great Reset.”
“But not everybody is on board.
“The Ranchers-Cattlemen Action Legal Fund, United Stockgrowers of America, known as R-CALF USA for short, represents cattlemen and ranchers across the nation. The group is sounding the alarm about the dangers of the U.N. and WEF agenda.
““What’s happening is the globalists have an agenda that can best be effected by targeting the low-hanging fruit,” R-CALF’ USA’s CEO Bill Bullard told The Epoch Times in an interview, saying the trend was obvious when the Dutch government declared war on that nation’s farmers.
“What they’re doing is targeting the segment of the agriculture industry least capable of absorbing these additional regulatory costs,” he said. “When governments impose these policies, those that can withstand these added costs are the large agri-businesses, not the little guys.”
“This is an attempt to eliminate independent farmers and ranchers around the world,” said Bullard, noting that governments and international organizations were working together on the effort.
“Cattle producers and farmers and ranchers are the front line; they are being targeted because they’re easy to remove.”
Pointing to numerous Biden administration policies targeting farmers, Bullard said if this is not stopped, “we will see farmers and ranchers dropping like flies.”
The end goal, Bullard continued, is to “further the consolidation and centralization of food production by transnational global elitists—international tribunals, the World Economic Forum, and all the rest of them.”
“All this originates with the U.N. sustainable agenda, Agenda 2030, Agenda 21, and multinational corporations all involved in influencing and working with U.N.,” he added.
The president of R-CALF USA, Brett Kenzie, also chimed in, saying “global elites” were pushing “sustainability,” which he described as “the latest denomination of false idol worship that should put the fear of God into us all.”
“All they want is everything, and your ability to generate a living with your private property will be their first victim,” Kenzie added.
UN-Backed Policies
“Indeed, as The Epoch Times reported in a recent article headlined “UN, World Economic Forum Behind Global ‘War on Farmers’: Experts,” a number of U.N. Agenda 2030 “Sustainable Development Goals” (SDGs) are directly linked to the global war on farmers.
“The goals, which were developed with help from the CCP and have been adopted by governments worldwide, call for drastic changes in agriculture, production, and even consumption. They have been regularly cited by governments in developing the very policies that many knowledgeable parties blame for the food crisis.
“WEF, meanwhile, signed an official “strategic partnership” with the U.N. designed to bring major businesses around the world into the movement to impose Agenda 2030 goals on the planet.
“The text of the deal promises to “deepen institutional engagement and jointly accelerate the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.”
“U.N.-backed government policies targeting the energy sector are also playing a major role in the developing food shortages, experts said.
“For instance, Europe’s efforts to phase out reliable power sources including hydrocarbon energy and nuclear power have produced devastating effects on European industry.
“Especially hard hit has been fertilizer production, a critical agricultural input. Due to soaring fertilizer prices, food production has been compromised as food prices surge higher worldwide.
“In the United States, the Biden administration, the bureaucracies, and Congress have also been targeting agriculture and energy.
“The Inflation Reduction Act, for instance, will see taxpayers pay farmers to not farm under the guise of implementing “climate-friendly” agricultural crop rotation.
“The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has also angered farmers nationwide with a proposed regulation that would force them to track emissions if they do business with a publicly traded company.
“It’s not just government. Major banks and investment managers around the world have also signed on to U.N. policies contributing to the food crisis.
“In fact, a coalition of 19 attorneys general from mostly Republican states is investigating possible collusion between America’s six largest banks and the U.N.’s “Net-Zero Banking Alliance.”
“As participants in the U.N. program, the banks agree to pursue “net-zero” emissions by 2050 by ending, or radically scaling back, investment and lending to traditional energy producers and agricultural interests.
“Multiple state AGs involved in the investigation told The Epoch Times that this “collusion” by U.S. banks with the U.N. was undermining American agriculture and industry while benefiting the Chinese Communist regime.
“Our own money is being weaponized against us,” West Virginia Treasurer Riley Moore told The Epoch Times in August as he moved against the mega-banks for targeting key industries.”
