Most people store processed, dead food as their sole food preparedness strategy. These manufactured foods have an important role, but they all suffer from the same problem: they’re FINITE.

They run out, in other words. And in a real food crisis, they’ll run out a lot faster than you had planned, as all your friends, relatives and neighbors suddenly remember you were the person talking about “emergency preparedness supplies.” So they’ll show up at your door begging for your food (or demanding it).

The smart food preparedness strategy involves preserved foods as one pillar, and heirloom garden seeds as another pillar, but the third pillar is something almost no one thinks of: powdered plant fertilizers.

Powdered fertilizers are made from ground-up rocks and nitrogen sources, and they have an unlimited shelf life. (Literally a million years or more…)

One pound of plant fertilizer can produce 100 pounds of food!

So storing plant fertilizers is by far the most high-density method for storing “food potential.”

Even better, plant nutrients are universal potentiators with the ability to promote the growth of ANY food plants: strawberries, tomatoes, lettuce, fruit trees, nut trees and so on. Quality fertilizers vastly improve food yields and food nutrition, allowing the same plant to produce as much as 400% more food than the same plant in a non-fertilized state. Without plant fertilizers, your garden seeds won’t produce as much food as you’re probably hoping.

Thus, plant food fertilizers are the single most important and overlooked piece of the food storage puzzle. My mini-documentary shown here explains this in great detail…
