“The food situation right now is already clearly an emergency, and the people are struggling with shortages. When the authorities tell them that they need to conserve and consume less food until 2025… they can do nothing but feel great despair,” an anonymous source said.

In June, Kim Jong Un announced that recent harvests failed and the government would be distributing grain to the population.

State-run media are even calling black swans a new and valuable food source during these desperate times.
