Alliance to Feed the Earth in Disasters (shortly ALLFED) is a nonprofit organization in the USA. It focus on finding solutions how to give food to people in case of big agricultural failure.[1] Such a failure could happen in case of big volcanic eruption, blackout, cyber war or nuclear war.[2][3] To solve this problem it search for resilient plants (like fungi or potatoes) or alternative sources of food (like seaweed or single-cell proteins).[1][4]
David Denkenberger and Joshua Pearce wrote a book Feeding Everyone No Matter What in 2014. The book discusses different technologies to give food for the humans in case of failure of agriculture.[1] Some years after, he founded the organization Alliance to Feed the Earth in Disasters to evolve a research on this problem.[5]
