    Apparently you aren’t smart enough to figure it out

    We have more than enough arable land to feed everyone on earth.

    And to buy more land costs…to ship further costs…to ship more costs…

    India buys an unbelievable amount of fertilizer from Russia just so they can grow foods.

    Droughts are going to be ever more popular due to climate change

    Food prices are only as low as they are due to slavery

    And since you don’t get it land and fertilizer are finite. You can’t go to another country and just take it, so if that arable land isn’t within your borders it might as well not exist

    We waste about a third of the food we produce.

    Irrelevant to the topic

    Also, I hope you realize that you’re saying it’s ok to let some people starve, right?

    You need to reread because I very clearly said the opposite

      100% relevant, we can feed more people that suddenly have the money to buy food they couldn’t before just by wasting less of what we produce, meaning we don’t need to exploit more land than we do now, impact on production is nil, impact on groceries is positive.

        So your argument is we don’t produce more food, people just buy what is there regardless of age or defects because now they can pay full price for it even though that food is currently discounted and still doesn’t sell
