“Hunger and malnutrition are the underlying cause of more than half of all child deaths, killing nearly 6 million children each year” - United Nations.

Hunger in the developing world started with our industrial revolution and the resulting colonization of countries that were completely stripped of their raw materials. Indigenous people were then forced to grow crops to sell the European invaders at a cheap price.

Those days are over but control remains with the West and developing countries are still forced to grow what the West wants. Their delicate economies are controlled by multi-national co-orporations and subject to a high level of corruption. What the West wants today is fodder crops (crops to feed food animals).

At the height of famine children are starving next to fields full of fodder crops destined for our livestock. Those children could be fed on those crops.

Most of Europe uses it’s land for animals or fodder crops and this still isn’t enough, animal feed is always imported from developing countries.

Land the size of 2 football pitches can grow meat to feed 2 people, maize to feed 10, grain to feed 24 or Soya to feed 61!

"In short, the poor are hungry and their hunger traps them in poverty."
