During my time as a coffee buyer in Central and Southern Shan States of Myanmar, the coffee farms we worked with were experiencing new planting losses of 12-14% per year due to cold and frost from 2012-Present. The owners commented how strange this was, and I thought the cold was unusual, as I had learned my entire life about CO2 and the affect it had warming our Earth.

In 2014, with top leaf damage through the farms from intense cold, I started to look for a cause. What I found was a cycle of Grand Solar Minimums which I had never heard of before. The most famous was the Maunder Minimum in the 1600’s, and with a bit of digging you will quickly see that these events occur on a regular 400 year pattern.

The effects during each of these GSM’s is always the same, crop losses due to cold damage and out of season rain or snows from shifting jet streams reducing grain yields, food price rises and economic twists as the most important commodity in our society becomes scarce. Having knowledge from past patterns shows which grain crops and which areas globally will go offline first. 

I was so moved by the information I had researched, that I started the ADAPT 2030 | Mini Ice Age 2015-2035 channel on YouTube 

As history repeats, we are all in this together. We will need to work together to develop new food growing strategies to cope with shifting agricultural zones and crop losses. With that said, this will be one of the biggest opportunities in human history for technological advances and investment. (Aeroponics, Hydroponics, Aquaculture, Shipping Container Grow Systems, LED Stacked Grow Systems and Microgreens) to name a few. 

I see the incredible urgency at which we need to put a mitigation plan in play for global food production and delivery systems as the Grand Solar Minimum intensifies.

Are you ready to THRIVE in the new Grand Solar Minimum?

Today’s world works on pooled talent so this site was designed by myself holding the vision of professionals, researchers and solution minded individuals discussing which plant species grow best with the highest overall benefit for a geographical area in terms of food and bio-fuel production, along with other byproduct income streams and exports from all agro-based and aquaculture industries.

I can be reached at media (at) oilseedcrops [dot] org and I want to know how I can help you better understand the intensification of the Eddy Grand Solar Minimum and where your opportunity is as global crop yields decrease and food prices rise. 

Contact me with a comment, question or suggestion on how we can work together and THRIVE during the new period of agricultural changes.
