[[Category:Problems]]
About 829 million people (1 in 10 people globally) are undernourished {{light|(lacking protein and/or calories)}}.


==Causes==
[[File:food-funnel.png|thumb|For more details, see... * [[:File:food-funnel.png|Numbers & methodology of the above image]] * [[Food production-consumption geography]] ]]
===Inefficiencies===
Even though farms produce '''more than enough''' food crops to feed the world, too many of these crops are used ''inefficiently''...
* as [[food used as feed|animal feed]] {{minor|(farm animals eat more food than they produce)}}
* as [[biofuel]] {{minor|(burned for energy - this is [[biofuel|not]] a scalable alternative to fossil fuels)}}
* and in food that [[food waste|goes to waste]] {{minor|(or spoils due to improper storage)}}
As a result, there '''isn't enough''' to go around {{light|(globally)}}.
