If we are able to curb our wants and focus on our needs, society would be a lot better. 
We could easily prepare for the future and he chance that scarcity happens. 
Just imagine if it was a requirement to have a 1mx1m garden. lol

Is our culture setup to handle scarcity?

I doubt anyone can be completely prepared, especially socially and psychologically, for the effects of truly desperate times. The best one can do is tame themselves and approach life with stoic determination, I suppose.
