The question is probably also one of tradeoffs though—where we exist right now may be a maximum of productivity, not so much of resilience. A single failure today could cascade a series of consequences that would be much deadlier than one in a world that produces less, but more reasonably distributed (and we know that there is food that gets wasted, so it’s not like we have literally zero margin here, though of course waste itself can’t be eliminated).
