We make enough food on this planet to feed 10 billion people. In the US we have 10 empty houses for everyone that’s experiencing homelessness.
We have enough for everyone but under capitalism it doesn’t get distributed to everyone who needs things. Replicating more food or homes wouldn’t solve the problem.
I don’t know about the 10 billion number. But if it’s true, then we only have a 25% margin on food (10/8), and to my engineering mind that’s not enough. We gotta pump those numbers up.

Or, and I’m just spitballing here, we should make sure everyone gets enough food first, then work on increasing production. What’s the point in getting to a 50% or even a 100% margin on excess food production if people are still starving to death because we can’t get it to them?

Pretty sure they’re only talking about food being thrown out as well.
Acts like swapping to a vegan diet and ending the obesity epidemic would free up a lot more food for humanity.
