I don�t get to geek out about logistics very often, so I�m going to take this OT for a minute, but the world�s farmers produce enough food each year to end world hunger, the problem is we don�t have a distribution network that can get food from the farms here to some tiny village deep in Africa without spending an arm and a leg to do it. And that�s before getting in to human factors like border crossings that get closed, warlords who seize the shipments for their supporters, etc.
