Many claim that there is a food shortage in the world and this is why people are dying in third world nations. Actually if you really stopped to look at it Americans waste enough food to feed 25% of all the worlds third world starving children. Our farmers plow under 50% of the food needed to feed the world. So if we came up with another 25% well, we really could feed all the world couldn’t we?

If only it were that simple? You see, research and study after study shows that there is no shortage of food in the world and no one has to die by starving to death. The problem is a distribution problem and it has to do with the food being here, but people need it there in Africa and other places. Places where they often lack the water supplies, resources and tools, like tractors, irrigation systems to grow their own. In fact they have plenty of land, but not enough water supplies in all places. They lack the farming know-how and tools to help their farming endeavors.

The scarcity of water, fresh water is growing to a catastrophic problematic situation and the potential eventuality is know; too many people, too little water and not enough food or water supplies to stop the escalation of the dilemma. Humans on the African Continent is astronomical numbers will perish if we do not figure out a way to stop gap the problems of the distances, costs and distribution issues to get them what they need. The World Bank is working on getting monies in to desalinate water and build sewage treatment plants. The Gate’s Foundation is figuring out ways to curb the Malaria Crisis. In fact so many groups are working together to solve these problems. For some it may not be soon enough in Africa. Think on this and Happy Thanksgiving.
