(the chinese stuff breaks even faster, but thats normal) theres only a single japanese company, that i know of, that has recently begun making things with a new steel alloy/mixture? that wont corrode at all in the sea air. so things as simple as that would make it very hard to actually distribute what we have now, i think a lot would have to be purpose built, so it can last. i think its likely humanity will find ways to produce even cheaper food, specially meat/protein. the poor countries will likely be the main consumers. the poor will continue to flee the country sides and the cities will grow and the few remaining self reliant people will become dependent on food handouts of the worst imaginable quality. the poor always loose and the rich always win :( i dont really see any solution to this at the moment, we had this coming since we started with industrial agriculture, it allowed our population to explode, but the system is fragile due to its own efficiency (only a few countries need to export to feed billions) maybe we can change this over time, but i dont think much can be done effectively immediately, the situation will hopefully stabilize soon. but like breaking up the companies, would 100% lead to an instant world wide famine.

That is nature at work. That is what it looks like. This is the outcome that was predicted many decades ago. What is touched upon here but not fully explained is the market for food. Aka capitalism. A core facet of capitalism is unlimited growth. The capitalist system measures everything in terms of growth. If a market grows it is good. If a market does not grow that is bad and must be made to grow. Now consider that we live on a planet with finite resources and you will see how ridiculous this concept is. But it is this ridiculous concept that controls pretty well everything on our planet. The capitalist system is deeply entrenched in pretty well everything on our planet. It has been shown time and time again that there is nothing that the people who profit from the capitalist system will not do to protect it. Climate Change and the sixth mass extinction are perfect examples of the depths of their depravity. So, the end result is a very bleak future while those in power fight over the dwindling resources available on our planet. That is unfortunate when you consider the potential of the human race. Here we are on the brink of so many wonderful things, and yet we are destroying ourselves.

Weird, that even people who cannot stand "Capitalism" always use its tools when justifying their own pet-peeve points.) And there is more than food needed for a decent human life. Water, building materials like cement (which contains sand, of which we already have a critical shortage), wood etc. Energy for heating or cooling. Clothing. We already use all ecosystems to the max. In the West, due to overconsumption, we use up the resources of multiple earths. Fact: Just because many people are poor now and therefore near zero net emitters of CO2 does not mean they do not have a negative impact on ecosystems already. And they (understandably) do not want to stay poor! They too crave for (over)consumption. We are all humans, sharing the same flaws. "Clean energy" is not a silver bullet, no cure-all. All ecosystems are at the brink, even if the media seems to only talk (sadly too little) about Climate Change.

It's the logical consequence of an aspired (high) standard of living and uncontrolled reproduction. World population rose from 1 billion in 1804 to 2 billion in 1927 and to 8 billion in 2023. In combination with human made climate change this is no wonder to me. What we will see as a consequence: More conflicts, diseases etc. Mankind is doomed if it continues the way it does and I doubt mankind can change.... this was known for many years but nothing happened so far.

Lets Highlight something not covered in this segment. Global trade has hurt poorer countries more than anything. Specifically African and Asian because they are forced to use outside commodities more than their own. Suppression of domestic goods and the refusal to raise tariffs on imported goods by (corrupt governments) means that the domestic supply is more expensive compared to the imported. If Farmers in Africa and Asia are being out done by foreign supply then they will no longer do farm work because the costs of running the farm outweigh the income earned, so they leave farming. In times of Crisis we always see a reduced level of supply out of fear that their will not be enough for citizens of the countries supplying the goods to the supply chain. Tariffs are essential to countries that do not have a manufacturing industries and his GPA . It allows them to keep their supplies and economies stable

I still think the root cause is not the inefficiency of the system, but that we're constantly pushing it to the limits. In a free economy there is always a surplus while there is always a deficit. This is because of the dynamic nature of the system, which can react naturally to the changes in the environment. An exchange (of stocks or goods) is a great example of this - these are the places where demand and supply can find each other very fast, and work out a reasonable price. This was so 100 years ago, even 1000 years ago (in a local scale). What has changed is the population of Earth which increases demand constantly, and depletes resources constantly. If you look at it like this, you will realize how ingenious this system is. When there is more demand, it incentivizes suppliers to innovate with higher prices. This is how irrigation was invented, rice and wheat has become the main celery products, pesticides and herbicides have spread, mono-cultures have become dominant, GMO was developed, mass farms of antibiotic-fed livestock has become the norm, and so on. At the same time the same practices have transformed Earth - reduced biodiversity, changed the climate, and so on. This is not EVIL. This is a necessity to answer the challenge of population growth. (FYI - in 1910 the population of Earth was 2 billions. Today over 8 billions, and still growing exponentially.) Let's say you change the system to one which can distribute the food for 12 billions evenly. Luckily for you, it was invented around 200 years ago - it is called Communism. In this world everyone of the 12 billion will get their nutrition needs covered - everyone will get just enough cereals, diary, oil, and maybe a bit of fruit to cover their bodily needs. Most won't be happy with that, and will get around, or overthrow the system, but let's ignore that for a moment. But. As soon as the population steps over the 12 billion, or there is any disturbance in the system (drought, transportation problem, etc.), then suddenly a large portion of the 12 billion will die, almost immediately, as there is no buffer (surplus) in the system. The starving population will cause a ripple effect, their work will be missing from production and transportation of the food, which causes further shortages and more people starving. It is not just a distant possibility, but it will certainly happen once the system reaches the limits of its capacity. Furthermore there is no incentive to grow capacity any more, so the growing population will collapse every time it reaches the same limit. I am really sorry to say, but there is no perfect solution to this equation. A continuously growing population will always result in people starving. What I see as a possible solution is reducing the population to a sustainable level. We're well over this level today, so just capping it won't help. This would lead to different problems, but I would say those would be better problems to have.

Good video. One thing not discussed here is over-population. The world has nearly 8 billion people now, many in developing and poor countries where resources are scarce and/or non-existent. This also needs to be taken into the whole picture. Mother Earth cannot sustain this many people for much longer.

It's not a supply issue... It's a demand issue to the tune of almost 8 billion. Too many people.

I have mentioned elsewhere how an unusual laminar event, which I learnt via a video focused initially on the US Southwest drought, has affected climate patterns for a few years now as a symptom of the present situation, but this has also mainly got to do with so many people relying on standard sources to the point of intensity, so much so that when they can't necessarily work in their aid, as per now, they are left with very tight options. If there's one thing I've well learnt from not getting too involved over my head, you can't take for granted what you trust in outside your control to get what you want. Regards, Samuel Farris.

Yes, but that is the perpetual hazard of monopoly in a capitalist market. Once one or a collaborating few gain dominance of a competative market, even if by providing best value, the competative magic vanishes. Remember, profit is the only real goal of a corporation. And as an end consumer of food, profit is a pure loss to you. So just switch brands, right? Your "consumer choice" might not be a real one, when the ultimate production comes back to one or a few companies, brand is just a rigged label glue shell game.

Building Freight train lines through different Continents is needed if you want to supply food to different nations with different setups. It would take a management of the governments together to use this wisely though. Adding a railway through Alaska to Russia could connect Asia and Europe to North America. But not with the war in Ukraine going on right now. By localizing production it reduces the risk of a war breaking the system. Or a famine damaging multiple nations.

I don't get this separate conseptualization of "the food system" as a different thing than just "the food sector of the economy". It is not a global distribution system, it is a global system of trade, which is the exact reason why it's not just food getting more expensive. The global trade-system is shrinking, and will stay way more local for the foreseable future. I understand that the speakers want to focus on the hunger and need for the poor people of the world, but misidentifying the problem like that is not really helpful in actually getting people to vote for better policies, which is the only legitimate way to get countries to do something about this. Though I wouldn't hold my breath, the way that things are developing now it will be years before any semblance of "normality" is back in many parts of the world.

The entire system through which food is grown, harvested, distributed, prepared, consumed, and disposed is a food system. That’s the foundation for understanding. The global trade of agricultural commodities, and reliance on those networks is only one arrangement of one recent aspect of that system. You’re trying to give markets the primacy, and a deterministic role. Which is why you think there is or ever was a normal that was could recover, and that incentives will do anything but reward managers and shareholders. What matters in a system are how that system is structured, what institutions, values and interests determine its qualities, character and quantities. Turning food into a commodity is really the core problem. Food and people are fundamentally devalued. The result will be hunger and starvation.
