 One way to increase [[crop yields]] is to simply ''grow different crops''.
-In this scenario, the global [[primary]] food supply could be nearly ''doubled''. Africa, in particular, could produce 3 times as much food as it currently does. This would probably help a lot in ending global [[hunger]].

 <small>These links show the crops as foods in the [[nutrition calculator]]. There are actually more foods than shown, because the app can only fit so many. Totals should actually be: 4822 kalories/day/person for ''before'', and 8458 kalories/day/person for ''after''.</small>
-Today's major crops are corn and soy. But in the new scenario, the top crops include cucumbers, tomatoes, garlic, and other vegetables. While these don't ''seem'' like high-calorie foods, the sheer volume of them could actually provide even more calories per capita than today's food supply can. Now I don't think it's possible for people to eat that many vegetables raw - but they could be dried and processed into flour for baked goods etc, like how wheat and corn are today.
