As discussed on the webinar, these reasons, both new and old, include:
- The electrical grid is getting old, and has a high potential for failure.
- Economic turmoil currently going on in the world, to include political crisis in Greece, Italy, and Spain.
- The real threat of natural disasters that go on in the United States right now.
- The rise of global economic terrorism has a very real threat.
- Ever increasing food and safety recalls which have had a dramatic affect on our food system
In addition, the sheer cost of food has gone up with the rising prices of a gallon of gas.
Traditional food storage alternatives include: freeze dried food, MREs or meals ready to eat, dehydrated food, canned foods, more traditional survival foods. All of these have their distinct advantages and disadvantages, the most striking of which is that they are in limited supply and will run out at some point if one ever is dependent upon them. This coupled with potentially low nutritional value make these options less than optimal.
Scott further mentioned that heirloom seeds and sprouting seeds are a fantastic alternative to the above mentioned alternative sources of food because of their practicality and potential for an ever replenishing food supply.
