The thing is, we grow far more food than is required to feed the world on aggregate today. Distribution is a huge problem though, and growing more food without improving distribution strategies really doesn't help anyone.
- cmdrfred 11y agoDistribution strategies will improve as a result of market forces. When company A has way more product that it can ever hope to sell locally they will be forced to invest in exporting that product globally.
- giltleaf 11y agoThe distribution strategies you allude to (though no one can describe them) have yet to materialize over the decades since Earl Butz decided to ruin American agriculture policy by promoting the type of farming you seem to favor. America has been subsidizing and exporting commodity crops internationally since the 70s and we still haven't solved hunger. The only thing that has come out of it is even more subsidies distorting a free agricultural market and reduced capacities for farmers in developing countries. Why do you think we should keep pursuing this model?
