There is only one explanation and it's on this Amerilard's shirt.

The Arab spring happened literally because food costs were too high.

This and ethanol is used as non pollutant fuel for cars.
Shitty revolts are much less likely to end humanity than carbon pollution.

Because it's more about environmental protection than efficiency.

Because atleast 24% of the corn grown is field corn, you can eat it poorfag.

Basically this
In most nations, they don't have food BECAUSE of military conflicts. The causation is reversed from what the OP says.Think for a moment; Africa has a shit ton of natural resources, and they don't do shit with it, they could easily feed their people but don't for whatever reason.
Also it would be a waste of resources to ship and to prevent spoilage by selling this corn overseas.

Yeah? How is all this corn production protecting the aquifers?

We are already one of the biggest exporters of food in the world OP. What else do you want us to do about it?

Water isn't important, the corn lobby is. HFCS has built the largest standing army of obese people in the history of the world, a monumental achievement as these people will be the survivors of the coming famines.
