This is not correct. Most middle eastern and some African countries would face starvation if the import of grain stops.

Their population are way above natural carrying capacity for their land and only some have capital to over come that issue with modern technology

The comment you replied to said for the most part all nations could feed themselves. And also said they might be able to feed themselves but not get the necessary nutrition. Maybe the truth is in the middle of both of your comments.

I guess if your standard for survival 51% of countries population the!n I guess it is right, they can mostly feed themselves if half the country dies lol

Look at population of egypt and their domestic food production. How many people can the land support? 40 million?

Algeria Tunis KSA?

I think you misunderstood what I said. For the most part countries are currently feeding themselves: because of trade. Yes, if trade is disrupted they will have a problem. That's what the research study was about, but the headline is misleading.
