      Oh, that does seem like a valid concern. To elaborate on the US’s fears on protectionist policies, the global food system relies on shipping food from countries that excel in producing certain foods to countries that are not as good at producing that food. If every country starts hoarding based on the principle of food sovereignty, that makes the global system less efficient. In the case of much less productive countries, it means starvation.
