Feeding Everyone No Matter What: Managing Food Security After Global Catastrophe is a 2014 book by David Denkenberger and Joshua M. Pearce and published by Elsevier under their Academic Press.

The book analyzed five crop-destroying catastrophes (sudden climate change, super-weeds, super-bacteria, super-pests and super-pathogens) and three sunlight-extinguishing events (supervolcano eruption, asteroid or comet impact, and nuclear winter).[1]

The book proposes more than 10 solutions for providing the global food supply, according to Discovery News.[2]

The study that is the foundation of the book involves interdisciplinarity and gives instructions for the survivalism movement. Feeding Everyone No Matter What has been covered extensively by the international media.[1][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] Io9 writes that it takes into account potential realistic scenarios, such as crop blights and nuclear winter. Seeker covered some of the foods recommended for a catastrophe.[9] Michigan Tech News interviewed author Joshua Pearce on the solutions presented in the book.[12]

Feeding Everyone No Matter What is also known by organizations working on the prevention of Global Catastrophic Risks. Future of Life Institute published an article by author Dave Denkenberger[13] and the Centre for the Study of Existential Risk published his lecture on the book.[14] The book was used as a resource in the Global Challenges Foundation Annual Report on Global Risks.[15]

Feeding Everyone No Matter What proposes a fall-back plan for the worst catastrophes such as a supervolcano erupting.[16][17] It outlines the cost-effectiveness of alternative foods for disaster preparedness.[18] Science, goes over the book's plan for feeding everyone in the case of the sun being blocked.[16] Alternative foods can be developed to respond to agriculturally damaging catastrophes all over the world.[19] The Global Catastrophic Risk Institute sees this as one piece of the assessing and preparing for global catastrophic risks.[20]
