Whats the difference between these two, is food security secure access to any food, while nutritional security is access to the food necessary to meet all nutritional needs?
That seems to be the joke but the phrase as defined by the 1996 World Food Summit accounts for nutrition.

Yep, which is why the US still has 11.2% annual food insecurity despite having the greatest food accessibility in the world.
These are victims of capitalism.
Don't worry, in 2015, FAO also stated we had 60 years of agriculture left, due to soil degradation.
By that math we are on year 52

Did they mean "agriculture at a global industrial scale" or "generally all agriculture"?
Is this why all the soil memes?
Generally all ag
And yes, that's part of it.
The other part of it is that I'm a soil scientist. Well was. Now I do something a bit diffent, and sit behind a desk (which is good)
Oh Jesus fuck.
Think we'll solve it in time?
Exactly
Just giving people bread, wont provide all needed nutrients.
