As far as I remember, the caldera erupting is not an extinction level event (for humans at least)... would be bad for sure, but southern hemisphere would manage

Depending on size, duration and prevailing winds, there's a pretty good chance the EU would be fine. Even parts of the USA could survive!

  I wouldn’t say “fine”. It would be a year without summer, and the loss of life due to starvation would be rather severe.

    Would starvation be a problem? Don't most countries have food reserves for these cases? At least enough food for one season?

        Having a supply of something that is suddenly supply constrained is pretty much a literal definition of how to make a profit. No need for a ??? step on that one. Of course you will take a storage cost loss for potentially thousands of years first.

      We didn't have toilet paper because some people freaked out, you think there's a maintained warehouse of perishable supplies? Or just a big vault of cans somewhere? No, nations do not have the means to feed their constituents in a nation ending disaster. It's easy to move food from Florida to California in a state sized crises, but the logistics of maintaining a just in case food supply for hundreds of millions distributed around the country? It's a safer bet to assume you'd die in the disaster than to convince people to plan for the future.

I find this result in researching many things. For instance in nuclear armageddon, the southern hemisphere is relatively ok, temperature and fallout wise. Wondering if I should move there. https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/1bvy6sz/by_popular_demand_here_is_the_map_showing_the/ https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/1bvy6sz/by_popular...
