Oh yes... then there's the problem of weather and seasons.

You know what happens when somewhere gets a bad season and the crops fail? You get no fucking food. Imagine that on a global scale. One dry season or excess rainy season can destroy most of a crop. If that happened in more than one place in a similar timespan , a lot of people would go hungry. This shit doesn't just happen in Africa or India you know.


Then there's the cost of transporting various types of food around the globe in order to ensure everyone gets a good balance of nutrition. Various types of plants and crops only do well in certain parts of the world. What if one or more of those parts has a bad season?
