A quick glance at some headlines that reinforce the core IAF message: START GROWING YOUR FOOD TODAY. Crop losses continue, exponentially increasing extreme weather events, and volcanic/seismic activity: many indications that the effects of the Grand Solar Minimum continue to accelerate.

WEATHER
Plenty of media coverage of the heat wave:

But no coverage whatsoever of extreme cold events — IN NORTHERN HEMISPHERE:

A quick glance at headlines this morning from over the weekend, many indications that the effects of the Grand Solar Minimum continue to accelerate: increased volcanic and seismic activity (including quake swarms around the Yellowstone Supervolcano, eruptions at Sheveluch, ), record cold temperatures, crop losses.
Start taking daily steps NOW towards radical self-sufficiency so that you can thrive in the current Grand Solar Minimum / Little Ice Age.
There is so little conversation around the Grand Solar Minimum and the hard data surrounding it, particularly compared to fantastical topics like Planet X/Niburu
and Flat Earth, that we really need to up our game: creating videos, memes, real life windshield fliers — ANYTHING to push this idea into the public consciousness. It is incumbent upon us also to lay breadcrumbs so that those who pick up the idea as the weather insanity continues, can quickly find their way, and rapidly move towards radical self-sufficiency.
There needs to be much more discussion: https://twitter.com/search?q=%23grand…
SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT THE GRAND SOLAR MINIMUM, the Dalton and Maunder Minima; these consistent patterns in solar activity throughout history drive recorded history.
We are seeing massive crop losses across the world due to the Grand Solar Minimum — ideally, we have alternative systems in place to produce food for our families and communities BEFORE the system collapses completely. What is happening now is historically what happens before famine.
Are you taking responsibility for your family thriving in the times ahead?
Please share with your friends information on the Grand Solar Minimum and the resulting climate disturbances we are experiencing, as well as intensification of the crop losses that have already begun.
We need multiple, redundant sources of food to ensure our food security. Evidencing this, following the Oregon Organic Standoff last month, a city in Australia has taken the step of DESTROYING 11 city blocks of productive food forest — 7 years of effort invested — that was providing fresh fruit and greens to over 200 people. The state is NOT here to ensure our food; only we can step up and take responsibility for the food security of our families and communities.

START GROWING YOUR OWN FOOD TODAY TO ENSURE YOUR FOOD SECURITY!
IAF issues a sincere call to spread awareness of the Grand Solar Minimum we have entered and the importance of GROWING YOUR OWN FOOD, and, in sharing the message, building stronger, self-sufficient communities to thrive in the times ahead.
“Survival seed packs” do a disservice by implying a sense of food security, when in fact, it is the knowledge of how to grow food, save seeds for next year, and share this knowledge with a growing, self-sufficient community. IAF explores how to meet the most basic of human needs in a bottom-up (individual) model, without the state to provide for you.

I visit the Green String Farm, home of the Green String Institute, known for its sustainable farming practices. One of their mottos is “50% for people, 50% for nature.” At any one time, half of the farm is dedicated to restoring/improving/building its soil and productive processes, while the other half is actually producing for people. Clearly these aren’t entirely mutually exclusive, but it’s a guiding principal.
Ice Age Farmer discusses the application of this principle both to one’s own self-sufficiency in the coming Grand Solar Minimum, underscoring the need to constantly reinvest in ones own property and processes (and learning!), but also to the 50%/50% balance many of us must currently strike between maintaining a life in the current paradigm while preparing simultaneously to thrive in the changing times.

Today I introduced an army of ladybugs to help me in the grand battle against Aphids.
Also, the nature of exponential growth, recognizing this in the climatic events playing out around us, and the importance of spreading the word about the Grand Solar Minimum and the associated larger cycles of empires/civilizations on Earth.
The greatest shortcoming of the human race is our inability to understand the #exponential function.

a period during which solar activity diminishes, resulting in drastic climatic and geophysical changes to our planet. These include increased galactic cosmic rays (GCRs), seismic activity, and volcanism; the latter often results in a global reduction in temperatures (see “the year without a summer” — and much more on the IAF wiki).
