It doesn’t take an economic PHD to see what’s happening in the world.
A good listen here at this jordan Peterson podcast with Michael Yon is well worth your time?

Were you intending to use those words ... "prepared" and "embrace"?
Did you instead mean to write "is the world headed for a global famine"? That's a completely different question.
If the world is prepared for a global famine, then there is no famine, as famine is defined as "severe and prolonged hunger in a substantial proportion of the population of a region or country." Thus being prepared for it means, I would think, means engaging all means available to withstand such a scenario. The world is not prepared. Never has (as starvation happens in a number of parts of the world today), but much of the world is unprepared for "global famine".
And as far as embrace, ... the Oxford dictionary on that shows: "accept or support (a belief, theory, or change) willingly and enthusiastically." While the world may accept that a global famine is coming and that there are limits to what the responses will be, ... the world isn't supporting it "willingly and enthusiastically".
