Ending hunger by 2030 would cost just $93 billion a year — less than one per cent of the $21.9 trillion spent on military budgets over the past decade, according to the UN World Food Programme (WFP).

    The money isnt the problem, its the want. Collectively we dont want to end world hunger. The countries experiencing hunger already have population growth rates higher than their infrastructure can sustain and handle. Pumping food into those countries would only worsen the problem.

    Then you have the emissions growth at a time where emissions are already to high. Then the threat of migration. Ending world hunger is a meme that would cause more suffering than it would prevent.

      I want to end world hunger. And declining birth rates come with social progress, education and security.
