world hunger


What is the solution for world hunger.

First of all, with the worlds rapid population growth rate ending world hunger will be a very challenging problem to conquer. Some countries government wont even allow aid for its own starving people which is a bad thing. So things like that will prevent solutions for ending world hunger. I think that one of the solutions for ending world hunger would be through the lab. Genetically engineer food for rapid growth and space efficiency. Gene splicing is a real thing and scientist have already done it. Like say take a potato and a watermelon for example. We all know that the potato grows in huge quantities and they require very little room. If we can take the gene from that of the potato and put it in watermelons, we could see rapid growths of watermelons everywhere. One occurrence of such gene splicing was when scientist made “golden rice” containing vitamin A to help those countries with people that don't take in a sufficient amount of vitamin A. Another solution for world hunger is to end wars. When war is occurring plantations and land get destroyed and those foods in thats farms and plantations are gone, unable to supply the people that eat out from there on a regular basis. Establishing foundations that support countries with insufficient amount of food will help the problem. Donations of food will help a lot. Food companies can build farms and ranges in places where the people need food thus creating jobs for people and people earning money can buy food. With the worlds economy today, people are losing their jobs therefore they can't earn the money needed to support themselves or family. Having green projects can give people jobs such as building windmills, dams, and solar panels. One problem with the earth is global warming. Because of high Co2 emissions, global warming is becoming even more dangerous every year. If we can get the establishments of green projects there will be less Co2 emissions and more environmentally friendly power supplies. People will have jobs thus having money to support their families. Not only that, global warming has been messing up the worlds patterns and there seems to be more natural disasters such as typhoons and hurricanes. Those destroy land and even farms that people use to produce food. And of course without land to produce food people will starve. I read one article about wind energy and how they modified the turbines to collect moisture from the air and convert it to clean drinking water. That is a great idea. Companies can plant these wind turbines and place them in isolated villages where not only they will get power but also clean free clean drinking water.
