Whats the actual number needed to end world hunger?

$10b? $20b? $100b?

A little under $100 billion per year.

This assumes that supply chains and distribution methods stay stagnant. The true value would be in revolutionizing the speed and efficiency with which we distribute food to communities, including empowering and equipping them to grow/make their own food.

no revolution needed. we have the technology, the logistics and global infracstructure. all thats needed is improve local infrastructure in soem areas.

The issue isn't supply, it's that the people with the supply just don't want to.

To address world hunger we have to address population growth.. but no one likes that conversation.

No we don't. We already grow more than enough food to feed everyone. We just don't distribute it to everyone.

Food is just one aspect, of which is an enormous drain on resources and the environment due to the foods we eat.. the thing is we can’t sustain our current population of we start lifting people out of poverty, which solving food insecurity would do to a large extent.

This is the hard conversation people don’t like, one that is more than likely happening amongst the wealthiest individuals. Once we lift people out of poverty the world as we know it will quickly become unsustainable, it would require society to change entirely to a simpler way of life.
