    Do we actually need more food crops though?

    I thought we already produced enough food to feed the whole planet. Distribution is the real problem.

      Smaller more diverse farms would help, but the grocery stores would have to learn how seasonal, regional crops work. Instead of offering pineapples, kiwis, and strawberries 365 days a year.
