The U.S. 'has become.'
By 2040, there will be 80.8 million people aged 65 and above, according to . But even though there U.S. caregivers who are considered Gen Z, the number of young people who are able to support this aging population may not be enough.
"De-coupling" is having real consequences for US food corporations and farmers.
China is US food corporations' biggest market and buys 1/5 of US agricultural products every year. If China attains their goal of agricultural self-sufficiency, it will cause irreparable harm to US agricultural industry.

Thats why European big farmers have to be canceled, European farmers aren't voters in the imperial core so no consequences. The Europeans are all indoctrinated with green movement so they are okey with less energy and less independent food production.
Edit:
The west has been using food as a weapon as a concept for a big part of the 20th century, western agri production is heavily subsidised so people in the global south can't really compete against western agri production. You don't comply good luck feeding your people we also own your information streams so it shouldn't be that hard for us to incite a rebellion.

What you now also have is Russia becoming a big players in the global food market. You also have China working on food independence/security. So you have a situation where you have less buyers and more sellers in the global food market.
I also expect agri bio technology to most likely proliferate in the global south. Like for example the Chinese alkaline rice for coastal regions adding immense amount of agri productive lands.
I expect that in this century famine will be a solved problem, because i expect a lot of experimentation with growing agri produce in extreme harsh environments like for example in moon soil. Given the push from Russia, China and the west with their lunar colonisation projects. Or how to convert desert sand into productive soil, which i believe china has already started researching.
I guess you've never heard of CAP.
Another EU slush fund?
It's a giant protectionism racket for EU farmers.
