      hi mmmmmmmm

      i think the first thing we need to do is find sustainable crops or find a cheaper way for the third world to irrigate and sustain their food crops. I believe in the old saying, give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he will feed himself forever 🙂

      mmmmmmmmmm good question!

      I think alot of scientists would say that genetically engineered crops that can survive harsh conditions would be really beneficial. If we could plant these in Africa then they would probably be able to survive droughts.
      Growing animals for meat takes alot of water and food to make them mature. I think if we cut down on the amount of meat we ate then this would free up alot of resources.

      I think first you need political and economic stability; so many of the countries that suffer in this way are caught up in wars/civil strife and are not even focusing on the health or nutrition needs of their people – it’s a tall order though!
