Its not that there is a famine in the world because there is not enough food. The real problem is that the people are not located in the right areas. The entire population of the world can live within the boarders of the state of Texas, in families of 4, in 2000 square foot homes, with another 2000 square feet of space surrounding their homes.
Aside from the home thing, the United States produces enough food, or has the ability to produce enough food in a very short time for the entire population.
Bringing it all together, if everyone lived in texas, and the rest of the world was somehow used for farming, there would be no starvation.
This is, of couse, a severe hypothetical situation. We are not going to move to Texas anytime soon.
