Despite the global overproduction of food, millions of people suffer from hunger and die of starvation each year. The problem is most severe in the underdeveloped and developing countries of the United States. Politicians, scientists and human aid organizations have been trying to work out a concrete solution to the problem of starvation for years. However, it appears that aid concerts, charity donations and political disputes are not sufficient because the needs of poor and starving people are not well-defined or the measures taken are not adequate. It may seem that the question of global starvation is not a difficult one to resolve judging by the ample amount of food produced by developed and wealthy countries. Yet, the issue of satisfying hunger in the Third World is hindered by many obstacles most of which are political and financial.
As the population of the planet increases and the poverty becomes more acute in the poor regions, the question of food availability turns into a matter of major concern. It is common knowledge that global food resources are sufficient to feed every person in need. There are suggestions for increasing global food production, but to specialists these suggestions make little or no sense at all. The core of the problem lies in food distribution and financial constraints. Many people are simply too poor to buy readily available food. At this point, the problems of humiliating starvation and abject poverty overlap and the conclusion that emerges is that there is no other way to end starvation than by abolishing global poverty.
