What can be eaten after a nuclear war disaster?

Scientists from the Alliance to protect the Earth from natural disasters (ALLFED) say what humans can eat in the event of a nuclear war, BusinessInsider newspaper reported.

After a nuclear disaster, plants can only be grown in low-light environments.

Accordingly, for example, experts calculated the consequences of the possibility of conflict between India and Pakistan. According to them, hostile parties can activate 250 million tons of nuclear weapons, of which each bomb will have 6 times more destructive power bomb dropped on Hirosima. In this case the planet will be covered with dense layers of smoke, making the entire planet completely engulfed in darkness.

According to David Denkenberger, the head of ALLFED, it was only possible to plant viable plants in very weak sunlight . Here comes the species of mushrooms and algae . Note that mushrooms can eat the 'dead material ' of damaged timber. At the same time they grow fast without any advanced technology, which means that planting can be relatively easy to maintain.

Mr. Denkenberger made it clear that mankind can survive for about three years. And then only humans remain "dry food" from the algae . They are also quite stable and can actively breed for a period of time, because the ocean after the nuclear war cools more slowly than the land. At the same time, in algae, there are benefits that protect the body from radioactive effects.
