How much money would it cost to end world hunger? Let’s talk numbers. According to a 2018 report from the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), estimates range from $7 billion to $265 billion per year.
But wait, that’s a difference of nearly $260 billion. Why is the range so large and what do those numbers actually mean?
Well, it’s a matter of different approaches. The $7 billion approach focuses on reducing malnutrition, while the $265 billion approach aims to end hunger by first tackling the issue of poverty.
No matter which approach you consider, the issue of solving hunger is no quick fix. The main reason for this is the need for infrastructure to transport the necessary food and resources to poverty-stricken regions. This means roads for transporting food and resources, agricultural solutions such as irrigation (which requires a reliable water source), education having to do with sustainable farming techniques and nutrition...the list goes on. World hunger is so much more than empty stomachs, which is why many organizations believe a more holistic approach, while it may take longer and cost more money to achieve, is a more permanent solution to world hunger.
The World Health Organization considers hunger the single greatest threat to global health because it affects so many aspects of human life and it traps those affected by it in a vicious cycle. If a child’s family lives in poverty, their chances of a life in poverty are much higher. Hunger prevents children from learning, which prevents them from being able to work as adults, which keeps them rooted in a lifetime of poverty; the original cause of their hunger.
