How do you define healthy rate? Enough to feed the planet?AtomicJoe said:According to 'climate change theory' fod supplies are being hit by the change in climate however year on year the world food production continues to grow at a healthy rate.

There are millions of people starving. Some of this might be distribution but some of it is a lack of food available.
So what is happening to all this food that is not being eaten? Is it just rotting?Antiphon said:There's more than enough food produced to feed the planet. All starvation on a large scale in the modern age is politically caused.
But have you made your case? For example, who says that the two claims are mutally exclusive?AtomicJoe said:but how can the press (newspaper TV news etc) get away with the lie that climate change is effecting the world food supply when all the evidence says otherwise?
They pick one drought or bit of bad weather and make out that it is cause by global warming when in reality droughts and bad weather are a normal part of our climate.
They are even recorded in the Old Testament! I guess the donkeys and asses were producing too much CO2.
I mean I hear this stuff from the so called experts.
(PS I can produce plenty of evidence to show a health growth in the food supply despite 'climate change'.
There are a few reasons for the high levels of food production in the world. One major factor is advancements in agricultural technology, such as genetically modified crops and improved irrigation systems, which have increased crop yields. Additionally, global trade and transportation have made it easier for food to be grown and transported to different regions, increasing food availability. Lastly, government policies and subsidies also play a role in encouraging farmers to produce more food.
No, unfortunately, there are still significant disparities in food distribution around the world. Some regions, particularly developing countries, may struggle with food scarcity and lack of access to nutritious food, while other regions may have an abundance of food. This can be due to various factors such as poverty, political instability, and inadequate infrastructure for food distribution.
Not necessarily. While producing more food is important, it is not the only solution to solving world hunger. It is estimated that one-third of the food produced in the world is wasted, and there are also issues with food access and distribution. Additionally, poverty, conflicts, and other socio-economic factors also contribute to food insecurity and hunger.
Producing too much food can have negative consequences on the environment. The use of intensive agricultural practices, such as heavy use of fertilizers and pesticides, can lead to soil degradation, water pollution, and loss of biodiversity. Additionally, food waste also contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. Furthermore, the overproduction of certain crops can also lead to market saturation and lower prices for farmers.
To ensure sustainable food production, it is crucial to balance agricultural practices with environmental conservation. This can include promoting organic farming, reducing food waste, and implementing sustainable land management practices. Governments and international organizations can also play a role in promoting policies and initiatives that support sustainable food production and distribution. Additionally, consumer behavior and choices can also have an impact, such as supporting local and sustainable food systems.
