The world produces enough food to feed everyone. World agriculture - TopicsExpress



          

The world produces enough food to feed everyone. World agriculture produces 17% more calories per person today than it did 30 years ago, despite a 70% population increase. This is enough to provide everyone in the world with at least 2,720 kilocalories (kcal) per person per day according to the most recent estimate (FAO 2012). The principal problem is that many people in the world do not have sufficient land to grow food, which takes a degree of income, nor do billions possess the necessary income to purchase enough food to sustain themselves. The planet does not have a food shortage/overpopulation problem. Rather, the world has a hording problem. I contend that the problem is artificially contrived and is the result of the deliberate redistribution of wealth.
