About 40 years ago the US secretary of State Henry Kissinger made a very strong promise that in a decade no child will go to bed hungry. That goal is more distant then it has ever been.
According to a post by DW it is completely possible. The world produces enough food to feed everyone. It is merely a question of priorities. Because a consumer has a stronger voice on the political impact of food production, many other aspects such as food wastage is deemed less important. Sadly enough, many of people who actually produce the food go hungry. People who live on smaller farms are the hungriest.
So why is the food being wasted?
Many food producers don't actually have to worry about the cost of production. As a matter of fact, many producers rarely take into account how much needs to be produced vs how much is actually produced. Food producers in developing countries can only dream of this kind of system. Hunger is a toleration of social exclusions and boundaries.
Famine is only partially caused by natural disasters and catastrophes. Because of some of the selfishness of developed countries and the fact that many food producers don't actually have to worry about the cost of production, food production for developing countries cannot even dream to compete. As a matter of fact, many producers rarely take into account how much needs to be produced vs how much is actually produced. Hunger is a toleration of social exclusions and boundaries. Allowing World Hunger is allowing the political stability in developing and developed countries alike to be jeopardized.
