Are there too many hungry mouths in he world. Is the world sustainable?

Answer 1

What?!? The USA alone throws away 3 trillion tons of food every year. (Source completely made up.) We're about to destroy 25% of the cranberry crop this year alone. (Source: USA Today.)

It's not a food production problem or an over population problem. It's a distribution problem. We make twice as much food as the world needs, but 2/3 of the planet is starving. It's a cost thing. Who's going to pay to ship all those cranberries to Africa, for example?

Answer 2

There are indeed but u have to look at urself first if u give god will provide for u if u r greedy then ur fooling urself

Answer 3

Hunger and poverty is improving in most parts of the world (atrocities and manmade famines not included). So, yes the planet's population is far too high. But on the local level fewer people are starving than at any point in history.

Answer 4

There are about 7 billion human mouths to feed, but we produce enough for 12 billion (which we could adapt to become enough for 18 billion vegans).

Are we sustainable? No, the world cannot "carry" billions of car-owners, smokers nor people who eat several pounds of meat per week

Answer 5

The world is sustainable for a long time to come with adjustment, but the greedy west is not interested in that.

Answer 6

Well, let's see. If we total how much the world combined has spent on wars, since WW1, it would be in the many hundreds of trillions. It was estimated that with all that money, each and every person in the WORLD could have been clothed, housed and fed at least once.
I guess our priorities are a tad fucked up...

Answer 7

Yes, far too many. Sustainable? No, not at this rate of population increase.

Answer 8

No hunger can't be cured, unless people start letting go off some of their morals against cannibalism

Answer 9

The world is entirely sustainable
Whether the human race is might be another question

Answer 10

You mean are you going to stop eating to help others?
