0:00.0	Joel Salton, thank you for being here. I appreciate you, man. Question to begin things.
0:07.9	A nice, light, easy way to start things. Are we on the brink of a global food crisis if things
0:14.8	continue going in the direction that they are? And if not, great. If so, what can we do to change things? So if we are on a food
0:25.7	crisis, it will be manmade. It will not be because we run out of water or labor or air or
0:35.9	sun. It will be it will be man-made.
0:40.3	And there will be pockets.
0:42.3	I don't think there will be universal food crises.

1:36.9	universal as much as it will be, um, um, vulnerable, vulnerable high-risk spots.
1:46.2	What makes those spots so vulnerable and high-risk
1:49.7	and how to we get ourselves into that position?
1:52.0	So obviously the number one would be urban areas.
1:56.0	You know, urban areas that don't grow the food for themselves.
1:59.4	The most resilient will be country areas.
2:02.5	Number two, the most resilient spots will be areas that don't depend on as much energy
