That’s like saying that going to Mars is a logistics problem. Everything involves a logistics problem because it involves profitably using energy to move things around .

There’s plenty of fresh water too it’s just a logistics problem of transporting it from Siberia to all over the earth. It’s simply not feasible.

Energy is not cheap enough to transport food to everywhere it’s needed while also not taking enough away from anyone else by force.

That means we need to live in much more efficient denser setups with mass transport to reduce logistics costs in general. It also means some redistribution of energy and hence wealth.




Agree on your conclusion. Regarding the prior it's messy with local politics, warlords, NGOs, governments etc and if there was the unanimous will there would be no hunger. Food production is a solved problem.
