This is one of those things that's hard to come by in open source.....which is mixing the fields of finance/economics with agriculture and defense/security analysis.
Surely if you put together a couple folks with a really good understanding of finance/economics, with a couple folks who have a strong strategic understanding of agriculture and water use around the world, and throw in a couple folks with hands on experience(like on this forum) in all the flavors of failed/failing/challenged nations(along with a good selection of beer and whiskey) surely they'd be able to draw a pretty accurate picture of the next likely Bangladesh, Biafra, Ethiopia, Somalia, North Korea when it comes to food/famine/instability.

Really what we need to do is put together a team that already understands the direction this country is headed, and what is needed to turn it around, and luckily for us there are plenty of them out there.
We haven't the time nor endurance to dick around with social experiments in drawing out what we will look like in making comparisons to other countries that are already down the shitter.
