Default Feeding the World?

Don Foster writes
So, while a hypothetical area roughly 35 times that of Iowa's in corn and soy
should be sufficient to feed every person on the planet; an actual area roughly
194,000 times that of Iowa's is insufficient.

Somewhat surprising, yes?


No. Try it again using the production of arizona instead of iowa.

Then try substituting canada and australia for iowa.

Illumination?
