"1.33 years of current food usage."
Imagine all the world's agriculturally produced land. Now imagine a third of the food produced in a warehouse. How big is this warehouse?
Another way of looking at it: "How much rice would it take to provide the caloric needs of a family of four for a month, if they only ate rice?"
A lot of rice! We don't realize how much volume and mass goes through our mouths because we buy food very often and never keep much of it at home.
- basch 7y agoI know this isnt how it works, but. 1/3rd of food is wasted. If we canned 1/3 of food production instead, it would take 2 years to create 1 year of reserve food.
