I think it's funny that you can't really prep for this. It's going to be a slow collapse, slowly churning and making it impossible for anyone to survive. As critical infrastructure fails, food, water sources dry up, and the only solution anyone is capable of giving: "Try biking to work". Realistically it should be "get ready for an apocalypse." No amount of prep will leave you untouched.

It's going to be a slow collapse

I am not so sure about that.

For the vast majority of humanities existence we have been one bad harvest away from famine.

Many countries rely on food imports to feed their people.

Failed harvests in two or three of the major food exporters at the same time grows more likely each year.

One very hungry year around the world will cause chaos we have not seen since WW2.

It's terrifying. I think one of the problems we face in getting people to demand change is that the collapse so terrifying and unthinkable that people don't allow their minds to dwell on it for long.
