The report looked at “major,” “severe,” and “extreme” scenarios. The authors found that the “major” case would cost the world $3 trillion over a five-year period, which they estimated has a 2.3% chance of happening per year. Over a 30-year period, those odds equate to about a 50% probability of occurrence — assuming the risks are not increasing each year, which they are.

    If you’re just starting out, you should consider a food forest. You plant an area with perennial plants at every layer (tree, bush, vine), and with the right setup there’s almost no labor involved. Add some chickens and all you need to do is harvest.

    It’s what I’d do if I had the land

      Thank you! I’ll look into this. We finally have a little land after years of working and saving, and I’m looking forward to cultivating it this spring.
