Will World Hunger Ever be Eliminated?
So aid is the answer?

Unfortunately, providing aid is by no means a panacea, because aid can cause economic dependence in recipient nations, for instance in Rwanda which received aid amounting to 125% of its GDPx. Also, the nations which receive the most aid (China, Indonesia, Israel)x are often chosen for political reasons such as affiliation or business opportunities, while many other nations (Haiti, Eritrea) go relatively unaided.

Other possible solutions include a revival of urban food production, with residents growing food on rooftops and public lands. Such schemes already account for the half the amount of vegetables eaten in cities like Havana, Cuba. Yet another possibility to solving world hunger would be genetic engineering, which promises to increases crop yields per unit area of farmland and also enable crops to grow in conditions unsuitable for normal crop varieties. High tech-farming methods such as hydroponics and aeroponics also point to possible solutions to producing food in an ever more crowded and urban landscape.
