Comment on All this produce is going to spoil at the food bank where I volunteer

  Overproduce to cover everybody’s needs, and if you want to use that overproduction to cover somebody else’s problems, make that the new target and produce over it to keep a safety margin. Otherwise you’re just going to hide the problem and run into trouble when production dips.

  Not saying this is the right approach, but this is the idea I’m getting from the thread. I feel like it might not work with the economics of supply and demand combined with capitalistic greed, but if a margin exists as safety, allocating it removes that safety.

    So different expectations at different periods, telling people there will be extra food and mentioning a rough duration solves it. No promises afterwards, enjoy while it lasts.
