The document discusses the issue of world hunger and proposes that the cure is proper distribution of food resources, not lack of food. It notes that currently 10% more food is produced globally than needed to support the population, but issues around distribution prevent it from reaching those in need. The key solutions proposed are sustainable agriculture, lowering prices of essential foods, increasing cultivable land, and fair trade. However, factors like greed, unbalanced economies, climate, and unusable land pose challenges to effectively solving world hunger through improved distribution alone.

1. The Cure to World
Hunger is Distribution

APES

4. Plenty of Food
 10% more food exists than is necessary to support
the population (7 billion +)
 Food should be measured in calories, not quantity
 Quantity is less important than type of food
 Abundance of calories, but aren’t used intelligently
 Feeding of animals

6. Solution is Distribution
 Ways to distribute:
 Create sustainable agriculture
 Healthy soil, water, and biodiversity
 Lowering prices of essential foods
 Increasing amount of cultivatable land
 Fair trade products
 Coffee, cocoa, sugar, tea, fruit, honey

7. Yes, it is possible
 Possible, but not probable
 Many factors preventing a solution
 Greed
 Unbalanced economies
 Laziness
 Unusable land
 Climate

8. Greed & Unbalanced
Economics
“Indeed, globally the richest 20 per cent of humanity
controls around 85 per cent of all wealth, whilst the
poorest 20 per cent control only 1.5 per cent.”
-Ross Copeland

9. Climate & Unusable Land

10. Why is there hunger in
America?
 As fuel and oil prices go up, so do food prices
 Foreign trade is increasing, but not improving
economy. Harming American peoples.
 Farmers sell foreign and increase prices; less food for
Americans and higher prices
 US dollar prices are dropping, affecting
international foods
