RBS predict that people will continue to eat.

istockanalyst: We Still See Farmers As Sound Risk - RBS

McLean said RBS had actually increased its lending to agriculture during the past 12 months and farmers were still regarded as a sound risk. But he did concede that these were volatile times, even though farming and fishing were the only sectors of the economy that had not slipped into recession.

The analyst went on to predict that there would be a continued demand for fresh drinking water.

Good find.

Never mind house prices this is a much bigger issue.

Will people start growing their own food, start to fish and hunt even cut back or steal? Will food be affordable in times ahead?

I have no idea how this will play out, but people will do or agree to anything to feed their families.

Being prepared is the best course of action.

I am so relieved that RBS and presumably others will continue to support agriculture. Presumably if they do not, we will be able to munch away on a share certificate or banknote or nibble away on a bar of gold.
