Whenever you hear someone talking about increasing food production to end famine, the key thing to understand is that modern day famines are not caused by a lack of production, but by an intentional curbing of distribution to the people in famine.

There is no technological fix to modern day famine, and no amount of production increases that can address it, because the cause is societal, the only solution to dismantle the social structures preventing the distribution of food in the first place.
