According to the World Food Program, 150 million people faced food insecurity across 79 countries prior to the pandemic. When the year 2020 ended, that number had gone up to over 272 million. Hunger is not only more common around the world but may also be more visible around your own neighborhood corner. John Zarrella reports on food scarcity in the United States.    Watch CGTN LIVE on your computer, tablet or mobile http://america.cgtn.com/livenews Subscribe to CGTN America on YouTube Follow CGTN America: Twitter: @cgtnamerica Facebook: @cgtnamerica Instagram: @cgtnamerica TikTok: @cgtnamerica

To have a well rounded storage you need to include things you and your family eat regularly, special treats or comfort foods AND you really need to include healthy food. I am a huge proponent of NON-Gmo foods and since I like to buy in bulk, I have plenty. Here I will tell you how! Link to UNFI co-op to find a pickup point near you! www.unfi.com

Prepping can be a hobby, or a major part of who you are. No matter how involved in prepping you are, you need to be able to find balance and develope a healthy prepper mentality - leaving room to be able to enjoy life a little.

The packaging for most store bought foods is insufficient for long term storage...it is too porous which causes the food to go stale faster; it can even take on the taste of the packaging. This video describes some ways you can extend shelf life...some up to 30 years!

Prepping can be twice as difficult when you live paycheck to paycheck. Here are ways you can practice prepping when you are waiting on the funds to do so.

I follow the prepper rule of 3 for all areas of my storage, but oil lamps are my preferred source for lighting...and here's why!

This is a small sampling of my Medical Preps. As mentioned in the video, the website I order a lot of medical supplies from is: allegromedical.com. No, I do not work for them, nor do I get paid for advertising them, they are just a really great website.

Millions of Venezuelans have left the country in the last two years, fleeing the oil-rich nation’s economic collapse. Shortages of food and basic goods, years of recession, soaring inflation and regular power shortages have left the country almost on its knees. The government says those against the socialist President Nicolas Maduro are waging an "economic war" – but many within and outside the country blame his policies, combined with corruption and mismanagement. One of the most affected areas is the state of Zulia, long known as the centre of the country's oil industry. The BBC’s Vladimir Hernandez is one of the few international journalists who has been able to report from the state. Produced by Herminia Fernandez, filmed by Omar Garcia. Edited by Kelvin Brown.

America's power grid is not ready. ✉️ Sign up for our newsletter: http://www.vox.com/video-newsletter In February, extreme cold and an unusual winter storm left millions of Texans in the dark. Many went without power or water, in subzero temperatures, for nearly five days. It was a disaster; dozens died. But even though that storm hit much of the country, the power outages were mostly limited to Texas. That’s because Texas is on its own electrical grid, separate from the rest of the country, which means it can’t easily get power from other states in an emergency. But Texas's grid itself is not what failed. Power went out across Texas in the first place because energy sources across the state were unprepared for severe weather. And that didn’t have to happen; Texas had been warned about this exact scenario, and had actually experienced versions of it twice in the last 30 years. But they didn’t prepare. Now the rest of the US faces the same issue. Climate change is making severe weather disasters more and more frequent. And the American energy system is not ready for it.
