How much of it though, and what is likely with shortages?
Not like we can store a year of food.

Just every time you shop buy a few shelf stable things extra until you’re out of space or have a few months reserve minimum

A few months of food is a huge amount to store. Looking at around 30kg of rice per month for 2 of us and that is already a bit low on kcal and would be pretty nutritionally deficient.
Had been hoping to grow some of my own veg but for the same reason as farmers, that hasn’t really worked out very well this year. So little water, many plants are struggling.

It’s not if you are just trying to survive on calories and not actually trying to store a well rounded series of necessary food groups. Rice and beans will go a long long way. You may end up deficient from some vitamins if shit goes south nationally or globally, but it will keep you alive long enough to start figuring out how to get yourself the nutrients you lack.
