The Cure to World Hunger is DistributionLucy Trieshmann and Phoebe WarrenAPES

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

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

Yes, it is possible

Possible, but not probable

Many factors preventing a solution Greed Unbalanced economies Laziness Unusable land Climate

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

Climate & Unusable Land

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
