In a recnt CNN article, Cheif Alessio Vinci covers the advances made to prevent the food crisis in major parts of the world. More than $1 billion of emergency aid has been given. United Nation delegates have now vowed to ninvest in smaller local farmers in hopes of keeping food prices low. They have also suggested donating fertilizer, seed, and other various essentials to the upkeep of farm life. They hope to reach a goal of a 50 percnet increase in food production by 2030.
It seems that there is finally an understanding that aid is only good for short term help. The UN directly addressed that other solutions need to be made to fix the crisis for good.
However there are still many issues that need to be solved. The UN failed to comment on their solutions for escelating food prices, trade barriers, and farm subsides. These three issues are the largest determining factors in the world food crisis and without a reasonable solution to those, the larger problem will never be solved.
