Chapter 24 What to Eat at the End of the World (Seeking Recommendations, Seeking Favorites)
In the decades, or even centuries, following the meteor impact, the surface of the Blue Star will witness no sunlight, and temperatures will drop to tens of degrees below zero. In such an environment, it is obvious that no flora or fauna can survive, and farming and food production will naturally be out of the question.
In the face of material scarcity, things like cold-weather clothing, food to fill the stomach, fuel for warmth, and shelters to live in will become highly sought-after items. Killing for a bit of food... that truly isn’t anything new.
Even before the meteor fell, millions of people on Blue Star died of hunger each year.
In those war-torn countries lacking food, people could become food just to fill their stomachs, let alone killing to rob grain.
If it wasn’t for Yuan the Great Druid inventing hybrid rice, ensuring food production and enabling the vast majority of the population to eat their fill, Flame Country would also be troubled by food issues just like other countries around the world.
The food problem is a global issue, and with the loss of sunlight and an impending global cooling, any hope for the original global food production has gone up in smoke.
After losing the original food output, the majority of countries around the world will fall into a food crisis and soon face starvation.
This is because a substantial number of countries around the world have yet to solve their food problem, traditionally relying on imports, which no one can provide for them now.
