In developed countries, and increasingly in developing countries, vast tracts of farmland are wasted on an extremely inefficient form of food production: passing the energy through an extra trophic level. Furthermore, in developing countries, a large fraction of arable land is used to grow exportable luxury products like tobacco, chocolate, and coffee.
But hunger, globally, is not caused by insufficient production. It is almost entirely a problem with distribution.
