Could This Floating Solar Farm Be The Farm Of The Future? (7 pics)

A fantastic and far seeing possible solution until mega corporations becomes involved

Why do we need to increase food production by 70% to go from 7B people to 9B people? That's only a 28% increase in people. Given that we currently do actually produce enough food to feed 7B (we just don't distribute it anything like enough - looking at you America) I don't see why we would need to up production by twice the increase in population.

Even today, not all the people have enough food.

That's true, but it's not because we don't produce enough. It's because many western nations are incredibly wasteful. If we could distribute properly then we could feed everyone.

'Western nations' are not the only 'wasteful" nations. Take your head out of your agenda-non factual- ass, Slug. BTW, 'western nations' export billions of tons of food every year to other nations, more so than most other nations combined (last 22 years straight). When the liberals can come up with a 'non-violent' way to keep dictators and warlords from holding or reselling for their own agendas, then perhaps steps will be taken to defeating world hunger. Get your facts straight. Humans are the ONLY species that will breed and over populate an area past the point of being able to maintain its population. What government body do you propose to 'oversee' this "proper distribution" (that isnt already doing it)?

So you're agreeing that we produce enough food then, and that production is not the problem. Human greed is the problem. My point was simple, we currently *do* produce enough food for everyone, we just can't get it to everyone adequately. Thus there is no need to increase production by 70% for a 28% increase in population. That was the point of this post on AC. I am proposing no solution to the distribution issue, that is way outside my area of knowledge and expertise.
