I think you're spot on. I have read many articles suggesting that the problem is not food production, it's the logistics around getting it from the people who are producing it to the people who need it. This is not free, and quite expensive. I recall the first time I became aware of this, they mentioned a BOAT LOAD of rice that had been donating but it was waiting on transportation funds to move to those in need.
It's my understanding that we can provide for everyone on earth so that their is no starvation. Unfortunately capitalism isn't quite up to the task.
- XorNot 12y agoCapitalism has very little to do with it. How do you stop a local warlord who uses starvation to control his people? How do you deal with all his cronies and standover men who are then out of business once you do? How do you then deal with the newly found dependence, and superstition about the colonists who came in and removed him? Coz they sure look like just another warlord and so on and so forth. If capitalism was the only problem with world hunger, then we'd have already solved it.
