The word "counterblaste" needs to come back into use. It's so evocative.

I don't quite understand the restriction on alternate uses of grain (starch, beer) as a measure to improve food security. Wouldn't it be better for there to be such alternate uses to stimulate demand and therefore to maintain supply at higher levels than are needed for bare subsistence? Then in times of shortage, there's some buffer/excess capacity.
