INTERNATIONAL FOOD SECURITY PROGRAMME

States should put in place adequate and functioning mechanisms of early warning to prevent or mitigate the effects of natural or human-made disasters. States should take appropriate emergency preparedness measures, such as keeping food stocks for the acquisition of food, and take steps to put in place adequate systems for distribution. — FAO. VOLUNTARY GUIDELINES

The threat of natural disasters, changing climatic conditions, pandemics, armed conflicts, and migration makes it necessary to immediately address the issues of establishing food reserve funds.

GREAT DEPRESSION. LESSONS LEARNED

The Great Depression of the 1930s was the most catastrophic economic crisis of modern times and affected some sixty million people.

In the 1930s, there were no food stocks in the United States. Private charitable organizations provided food for the population. However, from 5 to 10 million people (according to different sources) likely died of starvation during the Great Depression in the US.
