Hunger is Distribution
Lucy Trieshmann and Phoebe Warren
APES

4. Plenty of Food
 10% more food exists than is necessary to support
the population (7 billion +)
 Food should be measured in calories, not quantity
 Quantity is less important than type of food
 Abundance of calories, but aren’t used intelligently
 Feeding of animals

6. Solution is Distribution
 Ways to distribute:
 Create sustainable agriculture
 Healthy soil, water, and biodiversity
 Lowering prices of essential foods
 Increasing amount of cultivatable land
 Fair trade products
 Coffee, cocoa, sugar, tea, fruit, honey

7. Yes, it is possible
 Possible, but not probable
 Many factors preventing a solution
 Greed
 Unbalanced economies
 Laziness
 Unusable land
 Climate

8. Greed & Unbalanced
Economics
“Indeed, globally the richest 20 per cent of humanity
controls around 85 per cent of all wealth, whilst the
poorest 20 per cent control only 1.5 per cent.”
-Ross Copeland

9. Climate & Unusable Land

10. Why is there hunger in
America?
 As fuel and oil prices go up, so do food prices
 Foreign trade is increasing, but not improving
economy. Harming American peoples.
 Farmers sell foreign and increase prices; less food for
Americans and higher prices
 US dollar prices are dropping, affecting
international foods
