Comments by "Tony Wilson" (@tonywilson4713) on "There's a Storm Coming - Global Food Shortage" video.
I am Australian and trying to point out the issues with our Agriculture Sector is like banging you head against a wall made of a combination of brick, carbon fibre, cement, marble, coated in carbide. In general we produce food for 75 million but only have 25 million. That means we feed about 50 million people in "other places." Australia's growth plan (if it can be called that) steadily moving towards 50-60 million because the economists say that will be good enough to support industry. What they really mean is that all those home loans will be a huge boon for the banks. BUT NOBODY wants to discuss what's to happen to all those people in other countries we feed. If we simply jump to 35 million. that means either we need to increase out own production to feed another 10 million or there's 10 million starving somewhere or 20 million only getting 1/2 the food they normally have. Either way we can expect several million starving people rocking up on our shore. Because starving people don't care about borders. AND THAT'S ONLY IF we have no issues with world wide food supply. The thing that really scares Australians (or the ones who are awake) is what happens of there's a crisis and millions of starving people see we have excess food.
