Ending hunger by 2030 would cost just $93 billion a year — less than one per cent of the $21.9 trillion spent on military budgets over the past decade, according to the UN World Food Programme (WFP).

    I think they meant that it cost way more than food to solve world hunger.

    to solve world hunger you need:

    1. Put an end to all Civil wars
    2. Stop countries from using hunger as weapon (i.e Israel)
    3. eliminate all dictators who hoard their countries’ wealth to themselves and their generals
    4. stop powerful countries from destabilizing poorer ones to their benefit.
    5. provide proper medical care and education otherwise people would just reproduce more until they absorb the additional food supply

    Giving money to poorer countries helps but it will not “solve” the hunger problem no matter how much you give.
