The people starving now are starving not because there isn't enough food in the world for them, but because the food that is in the world isn't reaching them. With better organization, there's no reason the world couldn't support significantly more people, especially once we start developing vertical farming technologies (e.g. hydroponics, aeroponics) and viable lab meat. Hypothetically, the entire population of the world could fit into Texas, with a population density about 5-10% higher than that of Manhattan (if I'm remembering the math I did a while ago correctly). Having such a high population density over such a large area creates some logistical challenges that you don't see when it's a much smaller area, of course, meaning living in such a megalopolis would be very different from living in Manhattan, but it wouldn't be impossible. Reminds me of Mega City One. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbcoOqGKFi8" data-time=" --- Que sera, sera.
