"So, the question is, could we produce enough food to feed 8 billion people - many of whom are poor?" Take the great plains of the USA and Canada where most of the cereal crops are grown, imagine a really wet cool spring where farmers cannot get on their fields to seed, plus a really short summer and an early wet winter. Remove a few weeks from a growing season and you don't put a crop in the bin, suppose that happens 2 or 3 years in a row? People will also starve if farmers are forced to use less fertilizer, but Trudeau doesn't care.

>>From what I read, with the current population of the world, without heavy use of fertilizers and other intensive agriculture methods - it would not be possible to produce enough food. So, the question is, could we produce enough food to feed 8 billion people - many of whom are poor? We have hippies who believe we should not be producing GM foods. Without genetic modification we could not come anywhere near feeding all the people on the planet.
