We literally have enough food to feed everyone. But there are people who will prevent everyone from being fed because having control over the food gives them power (e.g. warlords in Africa).
Food distribution (and the costs associated with it) have always been the root cause of food poverty, but that’s only if you stay in such a rigid, master/slave dynamic.
Empowering communities to be self-sufficient in their food production and energy production can very effectively end the supply problem.
… you can’t solve world hunger until you solve world peace, and the fact is that you can’t buy peace.
Peace can only come when there is no need to be greedy, especially among a handful of billionaires.
When people’s needs are met, and there’s no reward to take more than you could ever need, there’s peace. When you have fewer people with more power than they should ever have, there’s next to no chance for war, either.
In an equitable society, peace is pretty much the default. Using money wisely can give you a societal return on investment that can come through no other means; it pays for resources, education, and technology to get us there.
But at the very least, use the current state of the world and the recent examples of wealth hoarding as an example of how NOT to do things.
