According to multiple sources, including Mercy Corps: "There is now 17 percent more food available per person than there was 30 years ago. If all the world's food were evenly distributed, there would be enough for everyone to get 2,700 calories per day—even more than the minimum 2,100 requirement for proper health."
So why do 795 million people (one in nine) go to bed hungry every night?
Because the food being produced doesn’t get distributed to them — and even if it did, they couldn’t afford it. Poverty is the cause of hunger. And poverty is caused by capitalism.
Tt least 3.9 billion people are either hungry or malnourished because the capitalist food chain just can’t scale up to feed the world.
