If the price of world peace is to divert just one-tenth of the global armaments spending of US$1.5 trillion to sustaining the food supply, it is surely not too high a price to pay for any rationally led or ethical country to afford. The funds to achieve this exist and are already being invested in protecting every nation - but mainly in weapons of destruction rather than instruments of peace, creation, and renewal. Unfortunately, weapons of destruction get used sooner or later. So it is not the case of stressed national budgets being asked to find new funding for food security but rather of reallocating defense budgets that already exist to war prevention through sustainable food supply and the easing of international tensions. Interestingly, soldiers appear to understand this far better than politicians do.
