Global imo not the USA. US is not a net importer of food, but an exporter. Most of the imported food can be grown in the states also three of the top four food imports to the US are used for/are beverages i.e. wine, coffee, and malt beverages. Also the reason why so much money went into ethanol research is because of the massive corn wastage that happens every year. Maybe the US should crank up food export, but demand is for wheat not corn.
- usrn 4y agoI wouldn't be surprised if some games were played so that we're exporting all the food while people here starve similar to the Holodomor in Ukraine.
- coryrc 4y agoAgreed, we won't face even scarcity, I expect. But it's a bad look (and just bad) to be pouring food into cars while people starve due to conflicts they have no influence over. Corn is what we got, so I wish we'd plan to help others eat with it.
