THE FOOD CRISIS NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT YET

Food Travel USA with Elizabeth DoughertyAlbum: The TRUTH About Food and Travel 060826 Original Broadcast Date: 06/08/26 The food system has a fertilizer problem and almost nobody in mainstream media is talking about it seriously. The global supply of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, the three pillars of modern agricultural production, is increasingly concentrated in the hands of a small number of countries and an even smaller number of corporations. When that supply gets disrupted, the ripple moves fast: from the farm to the commodity market to the grocery shelf, often within a single growing season. And the disruptions are already happening. Sanctions, trade conflicts, energy costs, and weather events are simultaneously squeezing production and distribution at a scale that most American consumers have never had to consider. The farmers feel it first. They absorb the cost, scale back, or exit the business entirely. The consolidation that follows is exactly the kind that Food Travel USA has been documenting for years, with large operations absorbing the land and leverage of smaller ones who couldn't survive the input cost spike. Elizabeth breaks down what a fertilizer shortage actually means in practical terms, who controls the supply chain, how the current geopolitical environment is accelerating the crisis, and what the calamity ahead looks like if the structural problems don't get addressed. This is the kind of story that takes years to develop in the open and lands like a surprise when it finally hits. You were warned here first. FOOD TRAVEL USA FAST FACTS About the Show Using the chassis of a food and travel show, Elizabeth Dougherty has carved out her own lane in Talk Radio, covering the contamination of the food supply and the travel restrictions placed upon us by an overreaching government. The show also covers data protection, self-sufficiency, and homesteading-related topics to help protect us from this evil, corrupt system. With Elizabeth as the host, the show has a very different sound from the typical male-oriented talk radio. In combination with terrestrial stations that carry the show, we reach people who don't normally listen to politically-driven talk radio. In addition to the LIVE FEED of the show on Saturday afternoons from 5pm–7pm (Eastern) / 2pm–4pm (Pacific), we produce and distribute a dozen podcast segments each week.
