Hi Everyone! Kristina here, and today I am going to be sharing with you how I am personally preparing for a potential food shortage and also my best healthy tips for a sustainable plant-based lifestyle. There has been so much that has happened in the past few years, locally and globally, with lockdowns, climate crisis, and more. No one really knows what to expect or what will happen. It is best to be prepared no matter what.
I’ve had so many requests for this information, so I am hoping that you will find this article to be helpful in some way. My intention is to encourage you and inspire you to take charge of your health, to become more sustainable, and to think one step ahead. Even if you’re not worried about a food shortage, winter is coming up, and ALL of the tips, suggestions, and items on my list will be useful to you.
I want to take a moment to really focus on and discuss the importance of SUSTAINABILITY. I’m sure you’ve heard the word be thrown around a lot, but do you actually know what it means and why it’s important?
Sustainability is the ability to be maintained at a certain rate or level. It’s also the avoidance of the depletion of natural resources in order to maintain an ecological balance. I’ve spent the last year doing my best to become as sustainable as possible, not just by growing my own food, but living off of well-water, purchasing re-usable items, and even supporting more sustainable and organic clothing. Living on an island has forced me to learn how to become way more resourceful because I don’t have access to as many places or things as I would if I lived on the mainland. There’s no Amazon Prime over here.
I’ve discovered SO much, and I’ll tell you...THIS IS WHERE IT IS AT, even if it’s more challenging at first. There is a way for all of us to incorporate more sustainability into our lives so that if a shortage actually does happen, you’ll already be prepared and there will be much less inconvenience to your life. There is no need to fear - simply PREPARE!
I’ve spoken with a few people, and I’ve also watched and seen preparation lists from others out there, and the one thing I noticed that most don’t tend to focus on the consumption of FRESH FOODS. Just because something like this might happen doesn’t mean you can’t eat fresh foods or that you’ll be stuck consuming canned goods for a period of time. Something different I will be sharing with you in this article is my take on how you can still consume plenty of fresh and healthy foods, even during a food shortage.
I’ve seen the WORST ads out there selling ridiculous “astronaut foods” in air-suctioned bags that will last a million years, or even just cooked and frozen dried burgers and pizzas. As tempting as that might sound to some of you, those options aren’t good for your health long-term. These companies are trying to make money off of you instead of educating or empowering you to be healthy, more sustainable, and to even have a more positive impact on the planet.
I’ve put together a list of 11 important items or suggestions for you.
I leave it up to you to purchase enough for a 6-month to a year supply…or however much you or your family needs.
You do want to make sure you’re purchasing enough food to provide sufficient calories if an emergency or food shortage occurs.
So let’s jump in…
Fresh Foods
Dry Foods
Frozen Foods - Get a garage freezer and store with extra fruits
Supplements
Liquids
Dehydrated Foods
Fermented Foods (Canned Goods or Canning)
Pet Foods (Dog, Cat, Birds, etc.)
Energy & Basic Necessities (Generator / Sun Panels / Lights)
BONUS: Fitness Equipment!
I don’t know about you, but I am a better person when I am moving my body and physically active. I love doing yoga, I love doing HIIT workouts, and mentally it is just so much better for me to keep up with my fitness routine. I know this isn’t a necessity for a food shortage, but I wanted to include it here because it’s important, so get yourself a yoga mat, some weights, some fitness equipment - something to have around the house in case you are home for a while. You can create your own fitness routine and it is so good for your mental health as well.
I hope that you have liked this article on how I am preparing for a food shortage, and I hope this list is helpful for you, even if you are just pursuing a plant-based lifestyle or getting ready for winter.
