This earth could produce far more food that it does if idiocy didn't rule. Just what we waste in biofuel would feed some of the small countries.
Someone mentioned water. That's a big one in the west where irrigation is necessary. Idaho alone has 10's of thousands of acres of what could be good farmland but we're short of water for what's already being used. Of course us outdoorsmen wouldn't want our BLM land turned into farms. That would really affect the elk hunting.
The earth is currently producing more food than needed.
The intertwined problems are distribution, waste, and timely consumption on perishables.
Here in the Arctic, in this borough, whatever isn't killed or picked, is imported, mostly by air. Probably 40% of the food served in the school cafeteria to these deprived natives (seconds to anyone who wants them)- all free except to the taxpayer- goes into the dumpsters after serving.. Meat and sweets for most of them. Michelle O be damned! You can serve them, but you can't make them eat it.....
I guess they just aren't hungry enough.
