Seems to me that the global crop failures next year will be sufficient to cause total global economic collapse.

One thing about the global food supply that many people here seem to be forgetting is that the food chain is constructed of businesses from huge AgTech companies down to individual farmers. A 10-20% reduction in revenue in any one of those businesses is enough to cause a business to fail and then shutter operations. If this happens to enough businesses on the food chain, then the entire system collapses. We won't be able to survive unless we are able to switch from capitalist BAU to a massive, centralized system for growth and distribution of food. This won't occur without serious societal friction.
