Length of time : minimum 3 years. Probably going to be closer to 10 years. 3 years if the war ends tomorrow. Fields in Ukraine will yield near 0% this year and will be substantially hampered next year if everything went perfectly. Bombed out and destroyed food infrastructure doesn't just pop back up over night. 10 years will probably be the case as we're dragging out this war to fuck with russia. At some point they'll destroy Ukraine's ports. Fertilizer production will be hampered for a very long time, shortages in the storage capacity will keep demand high as everybody tries to restock when everything comes back online. Shit's going to get fucked.
Steps to mitigate personal damage. 1.) Growing potatoes, carrots, lettuce, onions, etc. (LED lighting is amazing for nursery) 2.) Learning Canning and stocking up on required supplies 3.) Grabbing a year supply of vitamins 4.) Grabbing 3 months worth of calories in cane sugar
These are actions I'm taking on top of my 2 month of supplies in the pantry. I'm actually hoping I'm going quite overboard and have just picked up some cool new hobbies, but shit costing too much and I can't afford everything I've worked towards is a situation I don't want to deal with.
FYI : the US is the most food secure right now, doesn't mean we're not selling to everybody else right now and that the government is going to give a shit and shut down the exports to keep people from starving.

Food shortage, yes.
