That's one of the benefits of living in a 1st world country (developed country if you're PC), we'll just steal/buy the food from the 3rd world countries (developing countries for the PC few among us).
One of the reasons agri-countries are starving is because they produce food for us, those north of the equator. Those south of the equator (Australia being an exception) end up going hungry. Business says "Sell to the highest bidder" that's not a southern country. So, we'll have plenty of food. The starvation south of the border will probably equal out the population. Sounds harsh and sick, but that's just the way the world is at the moment.

the trouble is, if Monosanto have their way, ALL 3rd world countries will HAVE to buy their seed from them, therefore EVERY year they will have to buy more seed from the big company because as we know all GM seed does not reproduce the second year. all well and good for business but not good if you are a poor farmer in Africa or South America.

Which neither of us are....phew!
I get what you're saying, it's sick. But of all the countries, we'll be one of the last to run out of food.

I've heard on the alternative media that the global reserves of food are running rather low as we haven't had much of a chance to build them up.

i beleive you'll stuggle to beat mother nature, if there are no rabbits, foxes starve, due to no foxes rabbits increase, foxes thrive, rinse and repeat......
those that have the skills to provide for themselves at least have a chance!

There is plenty of food growing capability. It's just our governments pay farmers not to grow things.
When they get out of the way and leave it to the market then we will be fine.

Part of the problem is a huge part of the US and Canadian Maize crop is now being used to prodice fuel rather than feed people and animals, and in the UK environmentalists are blocking thousands of hill farmers from diversifying in order to survive so the sheep farmers are giving up trying to farm the high ground, and it only takes 6 months of neglect for bracken and heather to replace grass and the land is then useless and fewer sheep are grown.
