If you’ve followed debates around US agriculture over the past decade, you’ve surely heard it: Our industrial-scale farms may pollute and overuse water, foul air, destroy soil, harm local economies, and abuse workers, but that’s just the cost of providing a crucial humanitarian service: feeding the world. The GMO seed/pesticide giants Monsanto and DuPont make versions of this argument; so has USDA secretary Tom Vilsack, the California Farm Bureau and American Soybean Association. But can US exports really help “feed the hungry and malnourished in developing nations around the world,” as the industry-funded site Facts About GMOs puts it?
A new report from Environmental Working Group basically destroys that claim. Here’s the key takeaway, in a single chart:
The left side of the chart sums up the top 20 foreign destinations of of US food exports last year, accounting for 86 percent of total US food exports that year. Here they are:

So, most of the countries that buy lots of US-grown food—and especially the ones at the top of the list—are highly developed (based on UN measures of life expectancy, income and level of education) and have low hunger rates.
Meanwhile, the 19 nations with the biggest and most dire hunger problems import very little food from the United States—they accounted for a whopping 0.5 percent of total US agricultural exports in 2015, EWG reports. Even accounting for food aid, the great US ag behemoth contributes very little to feeding the poorest of the world’s nations. This chart depicts how much the world’s most hunger-plagued countries rely on US food exports as a percentage of their total food supply. Takeaway: not very much.

So why are our food exports largely bypassing the world’s poor? The answer lies in the first chart above. Note that about half of our exports to the top 20 destinations are either meat and dairy or livestock feed, and meat is a luxury product. As EWG puts it, “most agricultural exports from the United States go to countries whose citizens can afford to pay for them.”
There’s a lot to be done to alleviate hunger as global population grows and climate change continues to wreak havoc on agriculture. But growing loads of soybeans in Iowa or almonds in California is largely irrelevant to those challenges.

Sounds great to be altruistic. Let’s revamp our agriculture to feed the poor. This is a good and noble goal. It is a higher human moral expediency. The rich must sacrifice for the poor. That is until it smacks into reality of overconsumption and overpopulation. The world is in overshoot on both levels and people are at risk both rich and poor. This altruism fails to account for systematic rigidities. The understanding of agriculture is skewed as well. The economic realities of trade flows and global finance are not realized.
Calling meat a luxury is an example. This misunderstanding fails to realize the nature of sustainable farming where animals will have to be part of the mix. Yes, factory farm produced meat is a luxury but instead we will need huge increase in small meat production on marginal land. You don’t eliminate a food sector and replace it with another like that. There is land that can only be grazed. If you tear up land meant to be grazed to plant fruits and vegetables the land will be quickly eroded and degraded. Animals will be needed to produce fertilizer. These folks don’t understand the economics of global food and huge monocultures. A small amount of food can be dispersed as aid but the lion share must be traded with a return. Industrial agriculture is an expensive and risky business. It is global and integrated.
We are not going to revamp industrial agriculture because it is too big to fail just like the banks. We are stuck with our creation until it stops working. When it stops so will globalism and modernism. It is only with food surpluses that we have a stable society. We will utilize industrial agriculture because we have no choice until we can’t. If we are lucky we will have a decade or two to make a tough transition to more sustainable agriculture that utilizes animal power and the nutrient cycle. This will only happen in a die off situation that at best will be the reduction of 100-200MIL people a year on average to get down to 1BIL people in a generation or less. It is likely there will at some point be a harsh die off period where vulnerable locations have famines like man has never seen. The list of poor countries will be the front line of the die off. There is no way around this. Altruism will give way to the realities of survival.
Systematically the requirements of changing agriculture requires the end of monocultures with the repopulation of the countryside with small farms. Human and animal labor will be key ingredients. The problem with this is the logistics and the know-how curve. We are on the wrong side of the curve. In the third world the problem is the land is already populated with small farmers. Some large farms could be converted but this will be a loss of production that normally is a source of foreign exchange to buy food and other necessities.
This situation will soon be a changed reality and articles like this will disappear. The poor third world will not be the subject it will be the poor neighborhood nearby and general food insecurity. Mother Jones is lost in the status quo like most other academics today. It is the heroic among the academic world that risk irrelevance and ridicule to alert those who listen to the real dangers ahead of a collapsing world confronted with economic decay, resource depletion, and abrupt climate change. The world wants to hear about the Elon’s and Boeing’s race to Mars not about the collapse of industrial agriculture and the knock on to modern civilization. These are real dangers directly related to the destructive change coming to industrial agriculture.
We can still try to feed the poor now while we can but don’t think for a moment that the current situation of food surpluses is secure. We are snowballing into a world of scarcity with the end of growth. This means a die off. We can try to mitigate some of this with good decisions and fairness but for the most part this will be a process beyond human management. It will be the end of modernism and the beginning of the postmodern world. It will be a wakeup call to the rich west who casually write articles about the poor when they themselves will soon be hungry.

The US exports only expensive shit that most cannot afford in less developed countries.
I noted that the PS is number 10 and I can see that in the markets I visit weekly. About $2.3B imports of food stuffs from the US in 2015, mostly animal feed.
Less than 1/5 of the bigger grocery store’s shelves have US brands. Few are actually made in the US. My favorite Campbells Cream of Mushroom soup comes from Canada. My Quaker Oatmeal is made right here in the Ps for it’s owner, Pepsi. DelMonte fruits are also canned here. Few ‘American’ brands actually come from America. I guess these are examples of some of those ‘missing’ jobs that are putting the American middle class into the poor house. lol
I personally buy mostly stuff not American in brand or actual manufacture. Most veggies come from Europe. milk: Australia. Butter: New Zealand. Canned peaches: China. A lot of my current diet comes from China or Thailand.
Buy ‘local’ and cheaper. Example: Canned whole corn US P58 / Thai P27. (And the Thai corn tastes better.) Ps instant coffee, same quantity US P490 / Ps P200. And equal or better taste, plus it comes in a nice, heavy duty, wide mouth, reusable, glass jar.
That is why I can live on half of my income and save or invest the other half. Not to mention the cost of meds, haircuts, transportation, etc. are a small fraction of US prices and equal or better than US quality. Visit the Ps and see for yourself, if you do not believe me. You can do it for less than $3,000.00 for a month’s stay, including a plane ticket. ~$5,000.00 for a couple. ^_^

But the poor do not have any money, and our farmers cannot afford to give the crops away. Transportation costs are higher than the price of the food. If you cannot pay, you cannot play.

“The US exports only expensive shit that most cannot afford in less developed countries.” Not correct:
The leading U.S. exports are grains/feeds, soybeans, livestock products, and horticultural products. For instance the US and Canada are the two largest wheat exporters and combined deliver 30% of global exports.
On an annual basis, Canada exports more than 17,000,000 tonnes of wheat, durum and wheat flour to countries around the world. Major importers of Canadian wheat include Mexico, Japan, Iraq and Colombia. Canada’s annual wheat export revenues are close to $5.4 billion.
The US is the world’s leading wheat and corn exporter. It is also the leading exporter of “total grains” which are barly, corn, millet, mixed grains, oats, rice, rye, sorghum and wheat.
The primary source of calories for the world’s population are the grains.
Apneaman on Wed, 5th Oct 2016 10:35 am
To further rockmans comment, in Canada we produce an obscene amount of food. Even while Canada imports much American food products. No Almond growing in Canada – luvs me some almonds. If you look at the trade balance between the US and Canada, it’s pretty much a wash. They buy the raw resources, but Canada buys plenty of their finished goods. Maybe more than any other country. Who needs who?
“International trade is crucial to Canada’s red meat industry since Canada produces much more meat than our 35 million people can consume.”
“Canada’s meat exports have grown significantly in the past 15 years. Exports of beef have risen from 100,000 tonnes in 1990 to almost 322,000 tonnes, valued at $2.2 billion, in 2015. Exports of pork have increased from 200,000 tonnes in 1990 to 1,171,000 tonnes, valued at $3.42 billion, in 2015.
Last year, Canada exported pork and beef to over 125 countries around the world.”

No one has to export directly to poor countries in order to help poor countries get food.
Indirectly any (cheap) producer of food is holdning down the prices and thus supporting the poor. The more and the cheaper the products are the more they help the poor – no matter where on earth.
rockman on Wed, 5th Oct 2016 1:57 pm
Ghung – True. I could convert pounds of grain into calories. But I won’t. You? LOL.

The article is exactly correct. The uS definitely does NOT ‘feed the world’. It sends its ‘food’ mainly to two destinations. To people that can ‘afford it’*, and to those regions where it seeks to undermine local ag, or self-sufficiency by driving ‘local’ producers, out of business. (Mexico is a good example). IoW, the uS uses food exports as a weapon to dominate and control other nations vital food chains.
The uS undermines food self-sufficiency and healthy food around the globe, it does not ‘enhance’ it by any measure.
* Even here it bears mentioning, that uS also uses ‘FTA’s and similar mechanisms to undermine local ag even in nations nomically friendly to the empire. That is to say, under its control. Canada is a good example. The uS constantly seeks to undermine marketing boards in order to swamp Canada with toxic( subsidized) GMO frankenfoods. EU and Japanese barriers meant to protect their own farmers and companies, are also a frequent target of uS ‘ trade negotiators’.

About US and Canadian food exports and imports for anyone interested in FACTS:
U.S. exports of agricultural products to Canada totaled $24 billion in 2015, our largest agricultural export market. Leading categories include: prepared food ($1.9 billion), fresh vegetables ($1.9 billion), fresh fruit ($1.6 billion), snack foods ($1.3 billion), and non-alcoholic bev. (ex. juices) ($1.2 billion).
U.S. imports of agricultural products from Canada totaled $22 billion in 2015, our largest supplier of agricultural imports. Leading categories include: snack foods ($3.7 billion), red meats, fr/ch/fr ($2.2 billion), live animals ($1.8 billion), other vegetable oils ($1.6 billion), and processed fruit & vegetables ($1.4 billion).

While we need to address overpopulation, the reality is that we could feed everybody on a vegan diet. If North Americans reduced their meat and dairy consumption by half, plenty of crops would be available to feed the poor.
In addition, health cost would be reduced significantly. Excessive meat and dairy consumption is the source of many health issues we face.
The environment would also greatly benefit from a reduction in factory farming.

While this would be a good idea Gilles in the short term. Like Renewable energy energy it is a problem of scale. More profoundly the abundance of fertile is not what it was even more so our huge world is inevitably altering adversely all Earth’s ecosystems and drawing down non renewable resources and even overusing renewable resources. So we are in a predicament as a species without any comprehensive solutions. All we are left capable of doing is attempts to mitigate the worse consequences

Before you read something, first always verify who the author is, c.q. The owner of the conglomerate publishing the article:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother_Jones_(magazine)
Owner Mother Jones and 70 other progressieve outlets: Steve Katz
Right.
The intention of Katz c.s. is to push the idea that Africa is our problem and that it is our responsibility to ensure that someday these people will “develop”. And until that glorious moment will arrive any failure to achieve that lofty goal is basically the fault of whitey (to be explained from slavery and colonialism).
According to UN projections, Africa will increase from 1 billion people today to a depressing 4 billion by 2100. Any notion to keep these people out will be fought tooth and nail by Katz and his tribe, who universally push the “open society” model.
As always, these lefties suggest there is “hunger” in Africa. And although this may be true for war and refugee situations, it is not a universal African problem anymore.
Why doesn’t Africa buy US food? Why is it a problem in the first place? Africans haven’t shown much competence in almost all areas of economic life, but at least they are able to put a veggie seed in the soil and every now and then sprinkle water over it. Agriculture has always (correctly) been seen as the bottom layer of society with little status. If there is one thing that Africans should do themselves is agriculture; buying food from the other side of the planet is undesirable. Let the Americans sell their produce to neighbouring Canada, not to Kenia.
And if even that is asked too much, then Africa should be recolonized by the developed north (US, EU, China).

“Cloggie’s dutch and they can neither defend themselves nor attack. Really good at whining for others to do it though.”
Friday, the Dutch in 1672 repelled a simultanous attack by the Catholic French, British and Germans intending to destroy the tiny Protestant bullwark:
https://youtu.be/j21t1i_SiKI
And because it could happen anytime again, the Dutch decided to invade Britain (your overlord until today) and conquered the entire island, as well as a large part of Ireland in order to make it Protestant so it stopped being hostile. Holland looted the British treasuries to stop the French. With the naval operation Holland succeeded where Napoleon and Hitler failed. It is difficult to find a military event more daring in the entire history, whereby a tiny nation managed to keep two larger nations in check that outnumbered the Dutch 10:1.
The British defeat at te hand of the Dutch was so embarasing that is was erased from British (and as such from Canadian) history teaching:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-560614/The-1688-invasion-Britain-thats-erased-history.html
The 1688 event gave meaning to the lives of the British, Northern Irish and Canadians until today:

The invasion meant the foundation of Anglosphere, that now 400 years later will come to an end. Never forget what you owe your Dutch masters.
The darkest moment in Dutch history was in 1945 when forces from British colony Canada added free and independent Holland to the US AngloZionist windfall empire, resulting from the war between Germany and Russia aka WW2. Thanks to the AngloZionist jackboot we all speak English now and worse all western cities are morphing into third world hell holes thanks to the rule of the Soros types.

@ghung – most people posting here are left leaning, like you. And they won’t take it seriously indeed, comparable to these 1984 Yugoslavs who thought that Yugoslavia would last forever.
But there are Americans, much smarter than you (yes they do exist!), who wouldn’t find my expectations for the future that far-fetched:

Cloggie, as long as you keep assigning things to me that are simply bullshit, I will keep calling you a liar. Your entire world is a fabrication designed to support your wet dream. As for me being “left-leaning”, I don’t have a problem with that since anything left of your neo-right-superiority world view must be left-leaning, eh? May someone carve a big AfD on your forehead with a Bowie knife. I would enjoy watching you squirm.

Clog,
Talk of succession in N America is absurd. In fact Mexico, Canada and the US are dependent on each other. In spite of a small percentage of Trump racist voters froth the vast majority of Americans hold Canidians and Mexicans in high reguard.
I havent seen a poll but I would hazard a guess that the poulations like each other more than their governments.

After Brexit, support soars for Texas secession movement ‘Texit’
“It is past time that the people of Texas had their say on our continued relationship with the Union and its sprawling Federal bureaucracy,” said TNM president Daniel Miller in a statement.

Will Texas Stick Around for a Hillary Clinton Presidency?
Three out of five Trump voters in the Lone Star State would back secession if the Democrat wins, a new poll finds.

Like what? Hillary voter? NWO adherent? (I know since recently you no longer believe yourself that the scheme is going to work).
And about that Bowie knife… I am well aware of the sadistic tendencies of your kind, like specializing in killing as many women and children as possible from safe attitude and torturing people into holocaust confessions.

Your capital is now Muslim owned and continental Europe is united and about to rearm, the British worst nightmare.
Your (NWO) kind is going to lose the next war, as you already admitted yourself that that is going to happen.
You don’t want to be an Englishman in the 21st century. Enjoy the ride into the abyss, it is going to hurt a little. And remember old chap: at all times stiff upper lip!
Meanwhile back to immediate politics:

Watch the second video with Americans enraged that the Russians have blocked the US-instigated murderous war in Syria. They would love that the Russians would down a US jet, which would tilt the election outcome to Hillary. I’m expecting an “incident” to that effect any moment (“October surprise”).
The site with the embedded video’s is my home site, the #1 rightwing populist forum in the Netherlands and the largest forum in the Netherlands in the first place and Geert Wilders supporters.
For historic reasons, Holland is the #1 US supporter since WW2. But on the Syria matter, the majority is against what the US is doing there by supporting Jihadists. Americans are well advised not to underestimate the sentiment in Europe regarding the US actions since 2000. Nobody on the right anywhere in Europe believes in the noble intentions of the US anymore. The US already lost the goodwill war, very significant.
