Sadly the idea that eating less of things like meat and other 'expensive' to produce foods will help feed the world is a bit short sighted. Not to mention that the majority of first world diets which are more heavily carb based is slowly killing us. There are many diseases that are caused by our diets and continuing to eat the way the government and many health officials recommend is detrimental to our health. Meat is an important facet of our diet, and it is a lot more healthy than the last 40 years of medical rhetoric has led us to believe. I think locally we can do better by focusing on local produce and other food products. Maybe to the point of having vertical farms inside cities which could feed the local populace and cut down on pollution from shipping the food around as well as give higher quality fresher food to the local community. As another poster mentioned, we shouldn't try and force our mechanized techniques to third world countries, they just don't work.
