Alliance to Feed the Earth in Disasters
Alliance to Feed the Earth in Disasters (shortly ALLFED) is a nonprofit organization in the USA. It focus on finding solutions how to give food to people in case of big agricultural failure.[1] Such a failure could happen in case of big volcanic eruption, blackout caused by geomagnetic storms, cyber war or nuclear war.[2][3] To solve this problem the researchers at ALLFED search for resilient foods, which could create enough food for everyone even after global catastrophes. Examples here are resilient plants (like fungi or potatoes) or alternative sources of food (like seaweed or single-cell proteins).[1][4]
