As was said... we do grow enough food in the US alone to feed the world... if you got rid of cattle and used grain and of course you could expand that base by getting rid of government subisidies that pay not to grow so as to prevent OVERPRODUCTION. The main reason we have starvation is economic. If you want to get all this food to the starving people of Africa, Asia, etc... you have to fly it over there or ship it. It would likely have to be refrigerated and of course the craft themselves take fuel and pilots... it all costs alot and it just doesn't seem that anyone is willing to pay that much for unproductive people starving out of sight. As for starvation in the USA and closer countries, yes it is there but you have a supply economy... people supply... but only if you can pay for it. The government plans are small and meager especially in comparison to other nations. Anyways I don't have an answer or anything just pointing out the facts... and of course with advanced farming technology of the future my guess would be you could have protein farms in basements and growing hydroponics at the top of a building with a clear open dome or any other sci-fi type stuff that would easily counter such food production requirements. And of course if you did that you would have to add a racial trait for races that eat less or more or don't eat at all!

Personally I view the Organics as primarily being pLastics and biomaterials for medical usage etc... more technology oriented ogranics and rare things than a food product.
