To strengthen food security, Monbiot proposes several measures, including revising strict milling standards to make more grain available for human consumption, reducing livestock production to free up land for plant-based food and rewilding, and accelerating alternative protein technologies like precision fermentation. He also calls for breaking up corporate monopolies, increasing soil science funding to reduce fertilizer dependency, and involving the public in food security planning, as seen in Taiwan. He criticizes the government’s failure to ensure food security for all, emphasizing that individual stockpiling is not a true solution, no one is safe unless the entire population is secure. While he and his neighbors have begun preparing, he finds little comfort in doing so, believing the government must take responsibility to prevent a future crisis.
