What would be the one thing that would forever eradicate world hunger everywhere? Why is this still so common?

Question

And HOW much does rice cost to grow? Jeez!

Answer 1

Cannibalism would probably do the trick.

Answer 2

If people just HELPED each other and remembered others rather than thinking only of themselves it would happen tomorrow. Helping is not HARD, it is time-consuming and heaven forbid anyone do anything that takes away from their own needs. Why are our governments solely responsible for helping? What an easy way out! Stop blaming the governments people and get off your butts! Take some food to a local shelter or a church, donate old clothes, send some seeds to someone who can use them, grow them and eat them! A packet cost $1.98 and costs as much as your lunch, in some cases even less. Take old children's books you have around your house to a day-care or headstart center! Many children in poverty do not have books and educational toys available to them at home because their parents can not afford things many people take for granted, so they start school with less knowledge than their peers and sometimes never catch up! I don't make much, a little over minimum wage, but I cannot imagine raising children on minimum wage and there are many who do and can probably only afford one meal a day! Try to imagine your lives like that. Empathy, sympathy, putting your feet in someone else' shoes! Compassion. Kindness. You will feel good.


Soapbox over...n'out.

Answer 3

Education. Yes, it sound like the same old boring answer, but let me explain.

The greatest wasters of water are not industrialized countries, but the nations that can least afford it.

Some (but not all) of the frequent sins of uneducated developing nation farmers are open (non piped) trenches, poor sealing of wells, no concept of drip farming agriculture, slash and burn mentality of agriculture, over use of fertilisers, destruction of key wetlands, over grazing and general destruction of former good agriculture land with salinity.

The wetlands is particularly relevant in Africa. Most have been drained and destroyed, thereby creating massive new amounts of desert where the land was once fertile.

The main driver for such ignorance and stupidity has been greed via the co-op method of grouping former small plots into large farms on the "assumption" of economies of scale.

Yes education would go a long way to solving this endless cycle of waste, drought, poverty and hunger. The only problem, such self reliance flies in the face of those pushing the politics of food aid and the end of small farms. Pity.

Answer 4

If the United States organized it's food production the way the oil cartel organized it's oil production, we could end hunger in the entire world.

The reason why other countries are starving, especially poor underdeveloped and Third World countries is not because there isn't a capacity to produce food, but because there isn't the infrastructure to get food from place to place.

Not enough roads, not enough irrigation, not enough warehouse or production infrastructure.

If we developed or helped other countries develop infrastructure, we could solve these problems in relatively short order. At least within the next quarter of a century.

Answer 5

For people to start loving their neighbors as thyself.
For governments to quit stealing the food other countries send.
For governments to allow people to grow food on communal property.
For governments to quit killing people.
For leaders to stop trying to control population. That is the main reason.
For rich citizens to keep a million or two and give the rest away to reliable charities that take food to orphans, etc..

ONLY thing that settles my mind when I see those precious little ones dying from hunger is they are going to a better place.
God help the ones that sent them there.

Food for the Children is best charity...they really do get the food to the children and families. God bless them.

Answer 6

In line with Rose knows,
There are simple solutions for hunger that is based on efficiency in production & distribution. But there is no simple cure for greed & selfishness.
If people walk in the path of truth, many pains and sufferings in the world will be eliminated. It just takes time to grow seeds.

Answer 7

maybe eradicating the leaders of some nations that steal the billions sent to them by nations willing to help!

Answer 8

Food?

Answer 9

getting rid of dictators! They thrive off of people's ignorance and fear. If you don't feed people, they will do anything for food. Keep them ignorant and they won't fight you as boss. Feed them and they will think you are a god.

Answer 10

we could do that now there is not a food shortage but a distribution problem.
