    Feel free to educate me if I am wrong, but I vaguely remember reading somewhere that famine happens due to lack of logistics rather than lack of limited food in the world. I still think future is plant based for other reasons(emissions, cost, etc) but is the solution to famines producing more food or providing more logistics? Or maybe a combination of both?

      This sounds like a passage from Das Kapital where Marx talks about famine in India. What was true in 18** isn’t necessarily true today, and I suspect that producers wanting to drive up prices is a bigger challenge than transport today
