Capitalism to blame for hunger

The world currently produces enough food for 12-14 billion people. (And we could produce even more than that if we did away with the industrial food system).

Yet nearly 1 billion are undernourished, and 235 million are now facing acute hunger.

On current projections, the global population is set to peak at 11 billion in 80 years time.

Capitalism’s extreme irrationality, monopolisation, need for growth, imperialism, exploitation, and inequality, is the major problem - not population. Covid has exposed this more than ever
