In the 21st century lack of food is not an issue, it is corruption that prevents food from getting to people. The other issue is that when nations like the US donate food to countries in Africa it crashes the local market and no farmer can compete so they become subsistence farmers instead of commercial. If the UN really wants to do something they should start agricultural schools in Africa and teach the people how to live without assistance.
Same applied to the previous century. My mother, who was born in the early 1940s, remembers her parents donating money and other aid to African charities as a child, when the “big men” socialist dictators took over in that continent; all of this donation has never ended since those days.
Of course, the lack of food in Venezuela is entirely artificial. There is a huge amount of food aid ready to enter but is being kept out by the army because the socialists can never allow themselves to admit it’s their fault. they would rather see the whole country starve than admit their responsibility or be seen accepting help from the United States.
