    The primary cause of food scarcity and insecurity is the distribution of it. It’s extremely difficult to transport food to the target destination when it’s more than a couple hundred miles from the source. We’ve had to literally genetically modify our foods due to how complex it is to safely and quickly distribute food before it spoils.
