War & want

 'The UNDP brief comes after a pair of U.N. reports from Wednesday that detailed how debt is burdening the developing works and revealed the climate emergency, conflicts, and the Covid-19 pandemic have pushed an additional 122 million people into hunger worldwide since 2019.'

There is no food shortage...

Robert Watson, a former chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change explained ‘hunger is not a food production problem. It is an income problem.’

Robert Fox, formerly of Oxfam Canada:. ‘there is no food shortage in the world. Food is simply priced out of the reach of the world’s poorest people.’

Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, when World Bank Managing Director: ‘there is not a global food shortage — there is a price crisis.’

American Association for the Advancement of Science:: ‘the problem is that many people are too poor to buy readily available food … Even though “hungry countries"’ have enough food for all their people right now, many are net exporters of food and other agricultural products.’
