I recently appeared on the Daily Pulse, where Maria Zeee and I discussed the unfolding polycrisis threatening global food security. We covered alarming new data from the American Farm Bureau showing that 70% of U.S. farmers can’t afford the fertilizer they need for 2026, alongside a disturbing wave of fires and attacks hitting fertilizer plants, energy facilities, and refineries worldwide, many of which are far from active war zones. This isn’t isolated. It’s compounding shortages in oil, natural gas, urea, phosphates, and other inputs at a time when governments are already prepping populations for rationing reminiscent of WWII, with little emphasis on practical solutions like victory gardens. We explored how this ties into broader energy constraints, data center demands sucking up resources, questionable targeting of production infrastructure, and the hard physics of supply chains that printing money or optimistic narratives can’t override.
Food is the underserved story here, and people must take it seriously now. The full interview is below!
