  1. Yes there literally are people who should prefer to see people starve rather than have to bend on one of their principles. The field of GMOs and Golden Rice in particular are a prime example.

  2. Feed a man and you feed him today. Teach him to grow his own food or catch his own fish you feed him forever. That said not everybody has the will to feed himself.

  3. Sugar beets would probably be a lot easier if they will grow there. Greatly reduced labour needed.

  4.  @travtotheworld  There is that. The single biggest problem in the world today is population growth in all the wrong places. Regions that are facing poor economic prospects, water shortages, unstable or autocratic regimes and other problems. The only real thing that seems to slow or stop population growth beyond major wars, plagues or famines is wealth. Wealth can lead to lower birth rates. But once birth rates fall beyond a certain point combined with rising life expectancy demographic problems raise their ugly head in terms of aging populations.
