    Earth will never run out of food and that is correct. But the question is... will it always have enough food to provide for EVERY person on earth? And to top that off, the population is growing exponentially as well.

    Potentially we could feed everyone on the planet, realistically, not so much. The problem with a lot of these we aren't overpopulated / people should never starve things is that they are way into the realm of fiction. Sure everyone could live in Texas, but we don't, and we shouldn't.

    Production, distribution, spoilage, disasters, etc, etc, etc, make these ideas fall on their faces.

    Yeah, a green house only costs like what? 500-3000 EURO'S, which is already close to 1k-4k dollars~ I bet millions of people have that money to spend.

    Here's the thing, we have places that are starving cause they do not have enough food, cant grow food due to poor environmental conditions, or both. If you think thats a lie, then you need to get outside of your own little bubble and really learn about the world instead of stereotyping like you always do.

    But, if the conditions are good, yes, you dont need to worry about running out. When I was younger we did what we could to make sure our family survived. This included planting a garden. We did it on two acres of land. But you need to know how to do it properly. Things like proper seasons, crop rotation, and what are the good and bad little helpers (bugs).

    And as far as green houses go. You can build a decent one for an average of $300. Good framing and translucent plastic works well. Then for watering, get an old hose and place holes in it at equal spacing and hang them inside at top so it can properly spray. But in truth, do go year round, you really dont need a green house. For the same amount, you can create hot boxes. And for that same amount of money you can create hot boxes that has more square surface area than what a green house has.

    All in all this is the jist of things, through the past and present there has been times where places have had problems or continually do have problems with food shortage. And as I said before, if you think its a lie, then you really need to get out and learn more about other cultures. One instance is what happened here in the US...its called the Dust Bowl.

    Cows, pigs and chickens taste so much better and provide for a more healthy happy Narfi than the stuff you feed them.
