Trudeau -- Canada's dictator is now demanding a 30% cut in fertilizer. This is a world wide disaster, combined with the lack of wheat coming out of the Ukraine right now. It's because nitrogen fertilizer is made using natural gas for the most part. Natural gas is found in good supply here in Western Canada particularly in Alberta. So of course it's evil according to Trudeau and his merry gang of leftist lunatics.
To put this in perspective I looked at Wheat exports per country which explains who feeds the globe, not just who produces a lot of wheat. Who makes enough to send it around the world? That is the statistic that matters. Otherwise China would lead the pack followed by India, but they eat it all up and import more. So who sells their surplus to feed the rest of the world.

Russia is first, closely followed by the USA and Canada, then France is next and Ukraine is 5th.
Of course fertilizer isn't just about wheat, it's also other grains like corn, rice, millet, oats, barley, and then it affects the meat substitutes made from soybeans and other legumes, but further up the food chain it also means reduced beef, pork and chicken production. Because grains, hay and even legumes feed cattle, hogs, sheep, and chickens who also lay eggs. So Dairy and Egg production will be hit too.
Holland -- one of the biggest meat producers in Europe has suddenly forced it's farmers to quit using fertilizer, and kill off their cattle to reduce the evil carbon or whatever it is that is driving the politicians of Europe insane with rage.
Trudeau's new idea will result in starving people in the third world if not a few at home too. But as this article points out, the left will "rescue" Canadian victims by raising taxes and giving bonuses so poor people can afford the rising prices. Yeah, that is their solution!
They won't even be able to buy a soy burger on a wheatless bun. Because the high taxes will kill off the small businesses that employed them. No govt subsidy will put out this dumpster fire in the making.

"..the government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is ploughing ahead with its plan to reduce emissions of nitrous oxide, a byproduct of nitrogen-based fertilizers, by 30 per cent over the next eight years. This became a flashpoint late last week following a meeting of federal and provincial agriculture ministers in Saskatoon, and anger has been growing since.
According to the Government of Saskatchewan, the provinces had to push to get the fertilizer issue onto the agenda, only to find out that the target had already been set.”The Trudeau government has apparently moved on from their attack on the oil and gas industry and set their sights on Saskatchewan farmers,” said Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister David Marit."
The article goes on
"As Gunter Jochum, president of Western Canadian Wheat Growers, pointed out, “Farmers don’t need the government to tell them how to properly use fertilizer.” Yet they are the ones who will be footing the bill: according to an independent study from MNP, the policy will cost Canadian farmers over $48 billion in lost revenue from Canola, corn and wheat sales over the next eight years.
Along with the development of high-yield crops and effective pesticides, the use of industrial fertilizers can be credited with the world’s ability to feed more people than ever. Over the past 70 years, the global population increased 204 per cent, yet modern farming techniques, including the use of fertilizers, has allowed the per capita calorie supply, the average daily quantity of food energy available to a population, to increase practically everywhere."
So something that has been a blessing for 70 years (a biblical number there!) is now a bad thing and must be stopped.
Which is further evidence of the globalist plans in motion to kill off most of humanity. What they can't abort, they will starve starting with baby formula, ending with breaking the food supply chain.
And that looks like Revelation 6: 5-6 --the Third Seal.
5 When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. 6 Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds of wheat for a day’s wages, and six pounds of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!”
More stage setting for the final 7 years of the Tribulation period.
