Counterpoint: efficiency and resiliency are usually tradeoffs. A perfectly efficient food supply system has no wastage, but also no buffers or contingency or reserves. By all means, end the most egregious food waste scenarios (buffet restaurants spring to mind), but given how critical food is to human survival, let’s not optimize ourselves into a corner.
