Worldwide food crisis: Let’s stop paying farmers to not grow crops!

We’ve talked previously about the food shortages the world now faces, which in my opinion is incredible considering we actually produce more food than we need. Last night I heard one good suggestion on how to address the situation: stop offering Buy One Get One Free (BOGOF) offers in the stores. I personally know that much of the food I purchase is thrown out because, for whatever reason, we didn’t get round to eating it. What a waste! But one other sound proposal would be to stop paying farmers to not grow crops. It’s a ludicrous situation really that should be sorted out for all our benefit.
