ReliefWeb published an article stating that leading experts released a series of studies that indicate ways to move towards the resolution of this fundamental issue for the future of humanity. In one study, Ceres2030, the authors wrote, ‘the world produces enough food for everyone…” If the contributions of the richest countries are doubled as requested, “with technology, innovation, education, social protection, and trade facilitation” hunger can be overcome within the deadlines set by the international community.
