6. Farming in the post-2020 era
e twenty years to come will be dramatically different from the previous
twenty. Crises upon crises will inlict chaos upon our economy, agriculture, en-
ergy, environment, food and resources sectors. Wisdom is called for; more des-
perately than ever. Challenge always entails opportunity. It will be tough for
agriculture in the short-term but in the long-term many doors of opportunity
will open. But the door will open only to those who are ready. What should you
do to prepare for the post-2020 era? Below are some of my contemplations: 
Do not depend on cash; go back to simple life 
Global inancial crises, continued low economic growth for many countries,

that will continue; economies will no longer thrive. More currency will be is-
sued which leads to hyper-inlation, interest rates will rise and farms running on
debt will suffer severely. e inlux of foreign agricultural products coupled
with low growth will certainly deliver a heavy blow to farmers’ income. Just
making ends meet will be tough enough. ere is a desperate and urgent need
to lower the cost of living. Remember how our grandmothers and grandfathers
lived: they were the epitome of saving and frugality. Reduce your consumption
to a minimum and save cash to prepare for the unpredictability of the future. 
Imagine your cash low stops just for three months. Can you survive that?
Are you prepared? Phones, power, gas, fuel and all necessities of modern life will
be cut off. Take this matter of “cash low” seriously and start planning ahead.
Save cash so that you can be prepared. Our lifestyles as of now are much too
luxurious and wasteful. Crises that befall do not destroy everybody. Some com-
panies that are prepared and moneyed will weather the storm and change the
crisis into an opportunity. e same holds true for farmers – those who have
the cash will survive and then thrive.
