Extremely not-fun fact: collectively, humanity currently produces more than enough food for every person. But a huge part of it is either wasted or inaccessible by people that need them, which usually results in them not going to anyone and being wasted, which is why we still have food scarcity.

    There are unmet food needs in our world. Too much so. But I’m not sure I would say, overall, “food is very scarce.”

      Yep, I would hazard a guess the amount of food waste alone could easily feed everybody but something something profits

        It’s entirely a logistic issue. African countries are insanely difficult to traverse. You can have all the food in the world but we don’t have a way to move the food to everyone.

          I’ve literally worked in logistics for 20+ years, you can send shit anyway, it just comes down to cost and profits
