Food

During a vacation in Iceland a few years ago, my girlfriend and I were looking forward to enjoying some fresh fish, since fishing is the largest industry of that beautiful country. We were disappointed. We were barely able to eat any fish, even in fishing villages. They explained to us that fish caught in the Atlantic Ocean were prepared, frozen, and wrapped on board the trawler; as soon as it docked, the fish were loaded directly onto a plane and sent to be sorted in London, Paris, Milan, and Frankfurt. We ended up fasting, in order to avoid eating frozen hamburgers for the whole vacation.

This was a reminder that in the modern world, the essential part of our food is routed from its source of production to our plates by an extremely complex — and fragile — system of supply. We have seen what can happen to this system in the case of a serious crisis and panic.

For this and other reasons, food is the second fundamental principle of an SAB.

How do you feed yourself in a time of crisis? The ideal is to be able to produce your own food, which means having a garden, raising animals, and being able to conserve a surplus for unproductive seasons. But since you can’t do all this in a day, you must begin by stocking food right away to guarantee reserves in case of an immediate crisis. Even when, later on, your SAB is perfectly autonomous and capable of permanently supplying the needs of its inhabitants, you must have stocks in case of bad harvests or a lack of nutrients.

So, what should you stock up on and what should you grow? There are three rules to follow concerning food:

1 Stock up or grow what gives you good, balanced nutrition. You must eat healthily in order to have the energy necessary for long workdays. Nutritional balance also assures effective metabolism and a better immune system. Sick persons and children must have the best possible nutrition to guarantee, respectively, their best chance of recovery and proper growth.

2 Why abandon your gourmet habits, especially in difficult times when you’ll appreciate life’s little pleasures the most? Why sacrifice what you like and deprive yourself? Varied agriculture and a good complementary stock will give you high-quality, natural products with a taste and variety that will allow you to remain the gourmet or gourmand that (I hope) you are.

3 Store what you eat and eat what you store. This should encompass the previous two rules but also prevent waste.
