In this scenario, the global 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]]. | In this scenario, the global food supply could be nearly doubled.

People would have to get used to different foods - or at least different ingredients. More on this later. | |||
==Scenario overview== | |||
Every country would grow a mix of its best-yielding crops. This varies tremendously by region.<br />[[crop choices/chart|The whole chart can be found here. Note: it's a big page and may be slow to load.]] | |||
Today's major crops are corn, soy and wheat (this is the "before"). | |||
But in the new scenario ("after"), the top crops include cucumbers, tomatoes, garlic, and other vegetables. While these don't ''seem'' like high-calorie foods, the sheer volume of them actually provides more calories than today's food supply. Now I don't think it's possible to eat that many vegetables raw - but they could probably be dried and processed into flour for baked goods etc, like how wheat and corn are today. | |||
==FAQ== | |||
Q: Food production is already so high - 5000 kalories per day per person? Why would you want to increase it more? | |||
A: These numbers represent [[Term:primary|primary]] food production - in other words, how much food there is ''immediately'' after crop harvest. Most of this food later gets [[food funnel|lost, wasted, or fed to animals]]. This can be solved too, with the help of [[plant-based food]] and/or [[food waste reduction]]. There are many paths to [[food|feeding the world]]. | |||
