Elon Musk’s $6B could stave off starvation for millions but won’t ‘solve world hunger,’ experts say (Atin Ito News)

MSN Canada published an article stating that US $6 billion from Elon Musk is not nearly enough to solve the problem of world hunger. The richest person in the world has conflated two issues — the immediate need of financial assistance for those on the brink of starvation, with the endemic problem of food security issues facing hundreds of millions of people. Senior Research Fellow David Laborde, co-authored a study, Ceres2030: Sustainable solutions to end hunger that found G7 governments would need to increase their investments by about $11 billion to 14 billion US per annum over the coming 10 years to lift 500 million people out of hunger and malnutrition by 2030. If Musk donated $6 billion US, “that would basically be the cost of money we need to make sure that people will not die of hunger or not have terrible long-term consequences in terms of key development [from] lacking food in their plate this year.” Also published in CBC Canada  Atin Ito News (The Philippines), Yahoo Canada (Reach 1M), Your Tango (US).
