Olivia Troye - America First? Then Feed America First.
Only one country on Earth is fully food self-sufficient.
According to a recent study in Nature Food, Guyana is the only nation capable of meeting all seven essential food groups independently. Not the United States. Not China. Closely behind being able to meet six out of the seven groups are China and Vietnam. (Makes one think a bit more about those tariffs, doesn’t it?)
In a world battered by war, extreme heat, and supply chain collapse, that fact is an urgent policy reckoning. American farmers work hard to feed the country. But the support systems that helped them do that, from crop data to conservation grants to food access, are being quietly pulled away.
