Even if brown rice prices were to double, making GABA rice gets the nutrition profile of proper vegetable from a staple.

I wouldn't store the brown rice meant for GABA longer than six months or replace more than half my vegetable intake with it (i.e. one probably shouldn't replace dark leafy greens and/or the broccoli family,) but that is still something like a compensation for 45% inflation in fresh vegetables.

If you live in a modern western country? Nothing.

The asparagus season might be a few weeks shorter, you may pay 3-5% more but ultimately no one is going to starve.

The best thing to do is prepare for slightly higher outgoings.

If you are in Sub-Saharan Africa continue doing what you're already doing, get on a dinghy and point it at Europe.

98% of the land that makes up the wheat crop in the US is currently in severe drought. I’ve seen farmers showing land that normally would have wheat 4’ high being 8” high. If wheat fails to this degree, we have a bigger issue on our hands than paying 3-5% more for asparagus.
