World hunger is rapidly being solved by exactly technical means. So is climate change. How do you think these issues are solved?


World hunger is caused by power imbalances. That's a social/political problem. Whatever technical solution you provide helps worsening the root cause and at best keeps the status quo.

We have observed dramatic technical advances in all fields related to food production in the last 3 decades. We've seen at best marginal improvements in world hunger in the same time, and even that only if you're beeing optimistic with your statistics.
