Let me take this up. there is plenty of food, but we are in the habit of seperating people from the food, and the means of producing it. food costs most people money, and money is concentrated into too few hands.
around the world, people do not just lack food ( although we are improving road networks and the whole distribution thing), they also lack sanitation , proper housing , primary education, and medical care.
This is what is making people poor. it takes a civil war or something these days, not just a bad harvest to send a famine along. famines are rare events these days, but kids die every day through measles and other vaccine preventable diseases.
