Bryan compiled a good selection of factors that many would not have related to a 'food crisis' scenario.
The mindset adopted far too commonly now is the 'pill for every ill' approach. Be it a result of reductionist scientific platforms, reduced attention spans or just the wish for an easy solution the problems that modern societies and civilisation suffer are virtually always the result of a cascade of contributing factors as Bryan suggested in his weaving together urbanisation, lack of commercial competition, political ineptitude (corruption?), poor housekeeping skills, fossil fuel reliance, climatic instability, etc, etc. into an interlinked set of factors that is putting our food supply system at risk all of which must be address if the problem is to be solved.
