The human population is about 8 billion and our food production capacity is enough to feed 12 billion.

In a capitalist system, food production becomes the means of earning money. This does not imply quality nor suitability. With a lack of a penalty mechanism in place to serve as a feedback mechanism, the distribution networks are primed to deliver and waste rather than ensure equitable supply.

Even with 0% food waste on the plate, loss due to corporate policies is still staggeringly high.
